„ Board of Appeals Minutes - October 24, 1990 2. 4 • Mr. Greelish read from the 21E report that no ground water observation wells were installed and/or monitored for the purposes of this report. Mr. Mills reviewed the recommendation from the Fire Chief for residential sprinkler systems and the use of power venting. He said they would meet the State Building Code but did not think residential sprinkler systems were required and that power venting had been used in the Town. Mr. Mills said they had not received any comments from the Planning Board and asked if the Board of Appeals had received any. Mr. Mills said they were prepared to discuss the design of the house but are still committed to the 23 units of the one ranch design. He said it would not be economically feasible to do fewer units unless they received cooperation from other Town boards, specifically on the release of the road covenant by the Planning Board. Mr. Hanrahan asked if they had met with the Planning Board and Mr. Mills replied that they had an informal meeting and 3 members seemed to favor releasing the covenant. Mr. Princi stated that they had tried to create a cooperative effort with Town Boards and said it would be appropriate for Town Boards to put their recommendations on record. Mr. Hanrahan questioned the current status of the financing on the application. Mr. Princi replied that they had initially filed under the HOP program for the 40B but due to economic conditions in the State they were changing to the Local Initiative Program. Ms. Barnet said the Local Initiative Program puts the burden on financing on the developer. Mr. Hanrahan questioned if the discussion was premature since application under the Local Initiative Program had not been presented to the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Princi replied that at the time of application they had all of the preliminary approvals. Mr. Greelish asked for the time frame on the installation of water and said the Board of Health would try to facilitate if possible. Mr. DeMartino said if water were available they would entertain that favorably if it fell into the construction time table. He said they would hope to put in foundations in December, 1990 and January, 1991 depending on the frost. Ms. Hawver reviewed correspondence from Conservation on the wetlands on Lot 14. Mr. Princi said that when the cleanup is done he would expect they would be taking some soil samples.
