The agenda was approved.
The information from the Design Advisory Board member was that there
seems to be Town money for solar trash receptacles but designs have not
been approved. Caroline Ellis asked to join the Design Advisory Board.
Public Comment:
There was a discussion of the Creeks Bike Path, Mass DOT Project #TBD, 4
Goose Pond Lane and it’s impact of the appearance of the area, and
the impact on a wetland and the overall design in the historic district.
There was a letter from Robert Wildey, from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin
describing the project, which is being managed by Transportation
Planner, Mike Burns. The details which seemed most disturbing were the
granite curbing, asphalt surface, metal sides raised above the paved
bed. A comment was made that asphalt is against a bylaw. No one has
been to the site. Mike Burns needs a letter from the NHC ASAP. Linda
Williams will ask regarding jurisdiction at the state level to determine how
important our approval is to get state money. There did not appear to
have been a hydrology nor an archeological study completed at the site.
Susan Handy said that in 1965 there was a huge disturbance in the bike
path site when debris from the hospital was dumped to create the path.
The Concom meeting is on 4/30, Planning board members will attend.
Susan will attend the 4/30 meeting representing the NHC. It was decided
that a letter of concern should be sent to the BOS from all commissions
would be most effective (CONCOM, Planning, NHC). The NHC voted to
have our chairman write the letter itemizing our concerns.
7 Judith Chase Lane. The conversation between neighbors and the
property owners continues.
Kevin Kuester submitted his thoughts for points to be made before the BOS
to describe the NHC responsibilities. C Ellis will add a historical time line.
Diane Coombs and Kevin discussed the NHC responsibility for the
Demolition Delay By-law and used as an example the Crosby Barn.
Kevin Kuester was appointed VP of the NHC and C. Ellis the Secretary with
terms end Sept 2015.
The meeting was adjourned at 7pm.
