.4- Mr. ..4-r. en cont. i This h.�s not gone to Planning soar. It has not gone to Board of Appeals. It will be going pro ably in September, gin erir g is being done, perk tests and that type of thing. The -variance alls for thirty units with no sin--rle-family units whatever. May the record show that this can be revised and will be I am sure, The way this shapes up at present is to have some units,. two-bedroom con dominium units, on Jehu Pond and a set also for water view up in this direction (point.s out the area on the plan) equaling 39-bedroom units with all of the sewage being treated through gravitation, no pumps, down to a back leaching field. Perk tests have been dome under Title v and it is presently being engi veered, Shows the Board what area including the bog area will be left as open space. The only development is probably some tennis courts, the units and parking facilities. It is proposed to have a pool but the engineering has not been done, Also, the concept is for one pier for all of the units. Shows which units are averaging 65 to 85 feet back from the edge of the pond. Pauline: Is there an easement down there? 'fir. No, there is not, Dorothy: 'could the developers consider ars easement? Mr. en r y0 t this point, the developers would consider anything and that is the reason that 1 am here, 1 would like to think by meeting with the Boards on a preliminary basis, 1 could get the thinking of the Board- and get a lot-.of ground into the :gill before' we come back to the Board. Yes, they would consider an ease- ment a e- ment along the Front. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. Pauline: Would you tell me, George, why you don't build the condominiums with the same view across the bogs? r. •r y; Simple. Value. Money.' The whole point here is that here is a beautiful view to the southwest: A unit here would sell for $100,000. Pauline: You are after the green dollar: 1 ars after the greeny land' . Benwm.v I understand, but a con o num in the bogs would self. for $50,000 and here it would sell for $100,000. The economics which will be presented to the Planning Board and hoard of Appeals would be as opposed to a single-family develop- ment. Shows where there is a high ridge. I invite you to view i . `ells the Board that here is a road that rens in through there. You can walk the whole s ice, Pauline: How many units? Mr. Benwa Thirty writs. `khat we went for in the var .an e, applied for and got . approved, was to have It varied so here would only be condominium units with n sinp-rle-family units here. Under the zoning, you could go ahead and divide this up into sinl e--family units. They don t want that. .ul ne: When was this Marx submitted' 'fix'. Ben That was submitted in early '72 or '73. Pauline:ne: It is not va- lid.
