II. GRIDLEY POND ESTATES
Mr. O’Cain reported that all conditions of approval had been met and changes made on the plans. The only change that was made that wasn’t requested by the Planning Board was that the Conservation Commission requested the applicant to direct the water flow to the vernal pool via a culvert under the road.
All being in order, Mr. Solomon moved to endorse the plans as presented. Seconded by Mr. Tran and unanimously voted.
III. OTHER BUSINESS
---Mr. Solomon reported on the Sprint cell tower suit. The applicant was requested to place the cell tower somewhere else on the property than was originally proposed. Mr. Solomon spoke with Lisa Whalen of Town Counsel’s office and she suggested the Board may want to adjust its Zoning By-Laws to allow a wireless antenna on an existing structure that has a separate use. The Board may also want to add language that there has to be a certain setback from an existing home.
---Tanglewood Estates – The applicant sent a letter to the Board asking that Bramble Lane be presented for acceptance at Town Meeting. Mr. O’Cain reported that the work had not been completed on that street and therefore, could not as yet be presented for acceptance.
--- Goldenwood Estates – Mr. O’Cain explained to the Board that the residents were concerned about the detention basin and were seeking to have the Town pay for installing a fence around it. He wanted the Board to know that this issue would be raised by the residents at the public hearing at the next meeting.
