Kirrane said they obtained information from who had purchased units at Sea Oaks and the number~ of people that would be living in the development . gentleman in the audience voiced concern over how far the buildings are uo the river and where the catch basins are going to be . The Board said the buildings were well over 150 ' from the river and in answer to his questions on water, they said the Board of Health and DEQE would address those . Mr. Dubin closed the discussion off to further public comment . Mr. Dubin asked if the Board was in agreement that the concept meets the. spirit of the by-law. Ms . Stone asked if the Board denied the plan and they come in with a subdivision plan, what would that impact be concerning water,, sewer, open space and traffic , N Mr~. Dubin said there is no answer, it 's give and take , they won't have the large open space , they'll have more roads , no sewerage treatment plant , and have more families . Mr. Mq-rsters said if this were going in his neighborhood he would be con- cerned , on- cerned , but he would rather see something like this than all single family lots as there 's more open space with multi-family and you have to keep that in rind when considering it . Ms . ,stone said she had to admit she had not considered the impact of water and sewer and the advantage to the town t have a water supply system and treatment plant . She said the old plan looks horrendous with 87 lots . Mr. main said someone has to take into account the economics of it . if they cut down,-t,00- tan r )units , the applicant may be forced to go to single family. Mr. Fudala said they could go cluster development but Mr. Marster said they would still have individual wells and septic tanks . Wir. Fudala said you're still talking about big leaching pits . Single wells have a. smaller impact than a big well has an impact on the water table . Mr. Itarsters said eliminating the buildings on Meetinghouse Road is reason- ;able . easo - ably . Mr. Dubin agreed as he felt they would have good open space and good buffer. He asked Ids , Stone for her thoughts . Lis . Stone said she thinks it 's a lot going into that area and coming off onto a road where it would be a tremendous impact . She said she doesn't know if they can show a subdivision is going to be less of an impact . Atty Kirrane said if the unitsare reduced below 183 units , the feasabilit r of putting in a sewer treatment plant goes out the window.
