:Ir. Woolery noted that when approval was granted for this lot to add
diesel pumps, a stipulation was then added that there be no cars stored
in back. That stipulation has been complied with.
"r. Upitz said the applicant had been before the Zoning Board for
multiple use approval. They had requested addition of a beverage center
xr:d redemption center. The 'Zoning Board discussed traffic at length and
had felt the redemption center would generate too much traffic, so that
was riot approved, but the beverage center use was. The Board also noted that
because there was a similar use across the street, left turns proba iy would
not be a problem.
.Ir. apitz saw no way to consolidate curb cuts on this lot -,,'rich would
give a better traffic situation.
.)b Jolley said a small area of space would be added and lie showel
f.ch of what they hoped the building would look like. They will put in
and flowers. A new floor will be put down in the two bays and the

:hale II, 109 units, of the :;tonehedge development
Mr. Spitz said there were very few changes from the sketch plan stage.
.;ecause of the land swap in this area, the units are being rearranged
from the original plans. KIr. apitz added that cluster J would now be the
same type as the rest of the development and the changes proposed for that
cluster will not take place. Detailed information will be submitted cluster
by clu:ter, as previous approvals :have been handled.
f"r. Pa e, repreetentint,, the develol;er, said the sewer easement mentioned
in the City Engincer's memo was not a problem.
.-Ir. Lona asked whether the pedestrian trail easement would run along
t.".e southern boundary. Mr. Page said he had not discussed it, but said it
could be added as a stipulation and if there were a problem, he would return.
Pr. McClary, a resident of atonehedge, said there was a problem with
draina-e running through cluster ;i.

Continuation of warned :)ublic tiearinp on final plat a-)llication by Ray
iccorTor a 134 unit subdivision, consisting —of- 5� sagle-family and 79
multi-fa:iiy units, on .::;ear :.treet
:sir. 82itz said it had not been clear whether this development was
going to have to be redrawn, so the plan has not been changed since the
last meeting, and there are no final legal documents. The City
Attorney sfiys that what he has seen in ro.igh form is all right, but those
are not final documents. Mr. Yoger said the Attorney would have to review
the documents before approval was given.
:r. Page, rePresenting the developer, said sidewalks were shown on
one side of the cul-de-sacs. Mr. Spitz did not feel sidewalks on the
cul-de-sacs were needed at all and I,ir. Woolery agreed, if the streets were
to city sthndards. It was agreed to remove the sidewalks from the cul-de-sacs.
Downstream drainage was discussed. I.:r. Fitzpatrick, the developer's
enijneer, said they had done a detailed study which showed that the pond
on the Horticultural Farm would not be hurt by drainFice from this
development. There is also a drainage problem downstream on Brigham Hoad.
::r. Fitzpatrick said there was a 4' culvert in that area, which in his
mind wa:; too small. It was felt that this was an existing city problem.
Mr. Poger said that if the city would take responsibility for it, fine. If
not, it would be consistent,with Past policy on traffic to say that the
develo,,:aent could not ;o in without the problem oein- solved. ?:r. Levesque
felt it was a city ,problem and this developer should not be held up. fir.
Pilot staid drainage would be released no faster than it is now from the pond
which would hold the water on the property. :r. Levesque suggested one
pond instead of three, so people could skate in the winter.
::r. ritzpatrick expL:ined the drainage plans. The parcel, except for
the L.ulti-family Portion, would drain into an existing swale. There is a
very small i,ortion of the property which will run into another ravine on
the land, closer to Pheasant Way. dater presently sheets across this land
into the backyards of the I•:eadowood development, and that will be picked up
and nut into the swale.
Yr. r"cKinlny, a resident of Meadowood, had submitted some information
on drnina,,e to the Commission (conie3 on file with i'lanner). He said he
was concerned about an increase in water in his area. Fie also worried that
sewer system construction i,arallel to the back of his property would disturb
the subsurface soils and damage trees in that area. lie had hired a forest
management specialist to submit a report, and that person, Mr. Wilbur, was
here tonight.
:'r. ':'ilbur recommended underdrains for the section of sewer behind the
McKinley and Terris lots. He was also concerned that with removal of the
brush and grass on the land, the speed of the water would increase, which
would maize the existing; drainage problems worse. lie recomr.:ended erosion
control measures during construction. ^r. Milot did not agree with all the
points in the report, but said they were willing; to do what had been asked.
A new swale was proposed behind the McKinley and Terris lots. 'Zr. Mona noted
that this would entail removini quite a number of trees. The proposed new
swale would run into an existing small ravine next to the Hosick lot, but the
