16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts oz649 <br />waived for the past 15 years. They would like a resolve and to be able to move forward <br />however that looks. <br />Mr. Lehrer will provide some clarification. The memo on August 2nd shows estimates more <br />inflated. The original estimate included four streets that were actually not subject to the <br />Willowbend Special Permit. According to the accessors map that is 140 bedrooms. 140 <br />subtracted from 995 is 855. Mr. Lehrer's best guess is 855 bedrooms, their total is higher. His <br />questions to the Board pertain to the following. Currently, there are homes in the Willowbend <br />area that have a building permit and are under construction. How do we want to proceed with <br />those homes if we don't have a modification to accommodate those bedrooms? Are you <br />interested in modifying the permit in those bedrooms? There are at least 13 properties in <br />Willowbend, properties that remain vacant and have not exercised their development rights. <br />Those 13 property owners plus 4 of the 6 lots, assuming each is a 4 bedroom layout, <br />constitutes 68 additional bedrooms. Is the Board interested in modifying the permit to <br />appease those property owners? <br />Ms. Faulkner suggested when these buyers closed on these lots, their closing attorney would <br />not necessarily show the buyer the special permit that says what it says. It was stated they <br />would have seen that as part of their title exam. <br />Mr. Lehrer circled back to his questions, one being about the projects in the permit currently <br />under construction, the vacant lots, and the Board's interest to further accommodate up to <br />287 unit max as we had for Cranberry Point, or some other project should that not be <br />feasible? <br />Ms. Waygan noted procedurally, the Public Hearing is closed before a board goes into <br />deliberation. She is not comfortable with being flexible on this project. She is disturbed that <br />there were members of this group that felt it was going to be a lawsuit. We should be strict on <br />how we proceed if people feel there is a willingness for our decision to be challenged in court. <br />Hence, she doesn't want to trigger anything that will become a procedural issue. In the past, <br />we have given an opinion, but with this, she is not expressing any opinion until the Public <br />Hearing is closed and there is formal deliberation. She cautions others on the matter as well. <br />We should get the website updated with the application as amended and any other <br />amendments, any correspondence such as the Town Manager e-mails, Attorney Pinto's letter, <br />Town Planner updates, Town Counsel's response, and Board meeting minutes from June <br />21st, July 5t", August 2nd, September 6t", and October 18t". Our next step is to request access <br />to Town Counsel to have a public meeting with him and ask questions on zoning bylaw for the <br />zoning applicant referenced. How a permit is modified, approved with conditions, or denied. <br />What information does the Planning Board need to make those findings and decisions. <br />61 <br />
