E w.� t an. <br /> Mr., John Um ha come. -before the P anning Boar- .representing sgu.es ri <br /> Trust with what he thinks- is a tan not to require approval , consisting of <br /> P ,, <br /> 38 single family lots , located on old Barnstable Road, containing 63 . 7+- <br /> acres , Mr. Marsters asked for -a plan of the- total thing have we a schematic <br /> of the total concept and how it will look.., Mr, Umina said he gave the <br /> PlanningBoard one . Mr. ` rsters asked if we 'had a preliminary plan to which <br /> • `� � as individual <br /> Mr.. Umina replied one had been submitted., Mr.. Jonas stated that <br /> lots , the plan does not meet ANR because of the size, the frontage , etc , Mr. <br /> Marsters stated that what Mr. Urnina was asking for is a clustered zone <br /> proposal approval .. Mr.. Um.in.a replied yes. Mr , Marsters told Mr. Umina there <br /> . P '� that <br /> are no lots that would qualify with 15o frontage , and told Mr.. Umina <br /> the total definitive would have to be approved in order to approve the cluster <br /> zoning. Mr . Umina said Mr.' Baxter had it all done, but he didn't want to show <br /> these tonight . Mr. Mars tens explained to Mr. Umina that cluster zoning is when <br /> the total area is taken, it is supposed to do a better job than 'you would <br /> do with a - conventional and you have to have at least 25% Open Space , and <br /> you can' t use so much of the weland and you have 'to calculate from there . <br /> With what Mr. Umina brought in, one can'--t even see the roads , Mr. Urnina <br /> stated that he wished Mr. Baxter were here to defend himself. He also went <br /> on to say that this was determined years ago by the Planning Board and his <br /> whole thing was better than just a plain old grid subdivision , and now all we <br /> are showing you is the definitive on certain lots that don''t need roads built.. <br /> Mr. Marsters stated that he had to come back to the Planning Board to get <br /> the definitive plans P l approved b us . Mr . Umina stated - you mean that this <br /> PP Y <br /> time after you approve the preliminary plan, you could -turn this thing dovrn? <br /> The only reason Mr. Baxter did it this way was because these were the lots <br /> that did not need any roads to be construction. . .but the original concept . . . <br />
