P. o. Box 1108 <br /> A H P E E. MA 02649 <br /> PLANKING BOARD MINUTES : 9/19/84 Cont . Page 3 <br /> for a sewerage treatment plant . The by-law rovi that condo <br /> projects provide for open space better. He said at the next hearing <br /> the public will get a chance to say if they think it 's better as <br /> s1f or condos <br /> Mrs . Polka said she personally feels this section of town is 95% <br /> yea-r round population and condos are inclined to turn an area into <br /> a resort area. She would like to keep it residential as it is not <br /> resort orientated area . <br /> Mr. Shaughnessy said he lures on the Westerly side of Santuit Pond <br /> and told of a development ' that was proposed in the past but the <br /> people went bankrupt and the people who had bought h ous a # ended with <br /> nothing in the way of benefits . He said he 's not afraid of develop- <br /> ment but afraid of how it 's being developed, <br /> Mr. Dubin informed him that things have changed in the past 15 years . <br /> Now they have phasing requirements and they have to produce amenities <br /> before they can sell units , so it 's less of a risk than it was thea. <br /> He went on to say be would welcome everyone 's comments on the hearing <br /> for the multi-family special permit, particularly from the abettors . <br /> Mrs .. Thomas said if the zoning formula allows it and the land use <br /> is there for condos , arentt you hard pressed to say anything else <br /> but yes , <br /> Ir. Dubin said she was basically night, but he doesn't feel they 're <br /> .in a position to change the zoning until the town does it . They're <br /> hands are pretty much tied in telling a. developer he has to go t <br /> single family but the by-law says they have to provide open space <br /> better than single family, <br /> Mrs . -Polka asked if they would be able to refuse a multi-family permit . <br /> Mr. Dubin said if the developer has the right amount of land, a road <br /> that complies , density that 's acceptable and the open space is better, <br /> then they do approve . <br /> Mr. larsters added that the by-laws do allow up to 3 units per acre <br /> but it depends on the land and the Board can keep it below the 3 so <br /> they do have some latitude , <br /> Mrs , Polka asked why do we require a special permit if it 's automatic <br /> as long as it meets the criteria . <br />
