They explained this was modification No. 26 to the Willowbend Special Permit granted in 1985. They are submitting a proposal for 62 additional condo units. They said there would be 2/4/6-unit buildings. Some of the buildings will be 3 stories and for those they will need a variance from ZBA. They stated that with this proposal they are trying to develop condos in the price range of$700,000 to $800,000 geared for young families to come in the summer or for empty nesters. They said currently there are fewer than 6 children on the property; therefore they see no impact on the school system. They presented elevation Plans for the 2-story building,but did not bring any plans for the 3-story buildings, nor height elevation for the proposed garage buildings. The Committee stressed the importance of presenting detailed information on all proposed-buildings, including the garage buildings, in order for the project to be reviewed. Following are some of the details discussed during the review: • Everything would be serviced by their wastewater treatment plant; no on-site septic involved. • Operating under 1985 Zoning when Special Permit was granted. Tom Fudala noted that coming under 1985 Zoning there is mandatory 40 foot buffer and that's where you have the problem. Applicant said they met with the abutters and the biggest concern for the abutters was that Simons Road not be open for access to the general public so this is the configuration they preferred. • Tom Fudala suggested moving the public way behind the golf course. He said Simons Road was already relocated once and the relocation of Simons Road could be done by the Board of Selectmen and you don't have to go to Town Meeting. • Units have commercial fire alarms and commercial sprinklers. • Sheldon Hamblin noted that the Fire Department must have truck access so landscaping has to be carefully planned out so they can access roof without having to cut trees down. Sheldon said he would be happy to work with applicant in the re-designing stage to assure access capability. • Question: All 5A construction? Applicant responded, "yes". • 8 bio-retention centers throughout the site. • 2 parking spaces required per unit; they are providing slightly over that.
