4
00:00:50.399 --> 00:01:06.320
a roll call. We have with us Craig Salvador from For Government TV, Dan Agar, city engineer. Chris Lebec is not with us. And we have Felicia Parker, assistant planner. >> Nope. Nope.

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:36.560
Mike Farius, >> present, >> and I, John Forever, and present as well. Number one on the agenda under old business, uh, roadway reconstruction, Spring Street, section 66-185,

7
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:52.799
city ordinance concerning the roadway reconstruction plan and profile of Spring Street. This petition was tabled at the April 13, 2026 meeting at the request of the board. Say, >> so we've had correspondence with the consulting engineer, which is Bill Smith

8
00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:09.599
from Teran. He's still working to resolve some of the requested items that we had. We are scheduling a date to go do some test pits so that he can rely on real soil data for some calculations. Um, so with that, uh, we did receive an email formally requesting that the matter be tabled, and that would be my

9
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:26.319
recommendation that we provide them the time to be able to respond. >> All right. Do I have a motion to, uh, table this to the next meeting? >> Make a motion to table reconstruction street until the next meeting in June. >> Gloria and second, >> I'll second. >> Beth,

10
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:43.440
all in favor, Mike? >> Yes. >> Gloria, >> yes. >> Beth, >> yes. >> And I, John F. Yes. as well. >> Mr. Chair, can you take item three out of order so that Scott can be first? >> Sure. For form a application for

11
00:02:43.440 --> 00:03:00.239
endorsement, a plan believed not to require approval and our plan of land file number 26-1678. Owner applicant Rodman Dorwin LLC Peter Humphrey SOC signary property location

12
00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:17.360
644 Rodman Street says map one I20 lots 0007 0014 and 0015. Please state your name and address for the record please.

13
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:33.120
>> Scott Adams with Advanced Engineering Group. address is 179 Swansea Mall Drive. Representing the applicant here, uh, as Dan, the city engineer, pointed out, this property had been uh, subdivided approximately 3 years ago where they created three individual lots conforming

14
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:49.360
to the town's zoning regulations. This plan is basically undoing that plan, getting rid of the three individual lots and putting it back to just one perimeter lot. So, it's a pretty pretty straightforward application in front of the board here just removing those internal lot lines

15
00:03:49.360 --> 00:04:05.360
that are shown in blue on the plan and called out to be removed. So, on that um as Scott stated, yes, it is a formality to merge them. um is a proposed building um for construction that's being currently reviewed and

16
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:23.440
because it extends over the individual lot lines required so that no issue and setback requirements. So initially the developer had thought of developing the parcel a little bit differently owner is looking to merge it and build a

17
00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:43.759
larger warehouse building that all That's the uh the big parcel that was cleared. >> Yes. >> Right. The incinerator the old incinerator up. >> Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. >> Hopefully it'll be the new remodelers

18
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:59.840
outlet location. >> I was just going to say from what I hear is the new remodelers. >> Yeah. That's the plan. >> That'd be good. Uh any questions from the board? >> No. It's pretty. Do I have a motion? >> I motion to approve.

19
00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:16.080
>> Motion by Michael. This is three. >> Second. >> A second. >> Gloria. >> All in favor? Beth? >> Yes. >> Gloria? >> Yes. >> Michael? >> Yes. >> And I, John, forever vote yes as well. >> Great. Thank you. Have a good night.

20
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:35.680
>> We'll scan that in tomorrow and then come pick up. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you, Jeff. We'll jump back to item number one under new business form a application for endorsement of plan believed not to require approval ANR plan of land file

number 26-1676 owner applicant Valancort Realy Trust BRT Realy Trust James and Philip Valancort Trustees Property location 4041 North Main Street CS is map X-3

22
00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:11.759
lots 0042 0052 and 0053. So again the intent of this plan is to reconfigure three existing parcels of land. They're currently conforming already as it is some minor lot line

23
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:26.880
changes mostly along the rear of the front lots and and then dividing lots and going through site plan review in order to meet some building setbacks for the structures that they wanted to build. They needed to to modify the lines a little bit. Each of their

24
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:47.319
reconfigured parcels uh meets or exceeds their requirements for the BL local business zoning district. We reviewed the plan and submission and find it to be complete and I would recommend endorsement of the plan. All right. Any questions from the board?

25
00:06:48.639 --> 00:07:08.160
Do I have a motion? >> Beth makes a motion to approve. Okay. >> Beth, [clears throat] I have a second. >> I second the motion. Michael second. All in favor? Gloria? >> Yes. >> Beth? >> Yes. >> Michael? >> Yes.

32
00:08:48.000 --> 00:09:04.320
644 Quarry Street CES map K-08 lots 0026. So you all know this as our lady band club over on Quarry Street. Um they are subdividing a portion of the land bottom

33
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:21.120
right hand corner. So the let's call it southwester corner of the property. um having out a 10,000 square foot lot which is conforming to the zoning district um leaving the remaining club and parking facility on on the other

34
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:37.800
piece. So both parcels meet the zoning requirements and with that I would recommend endorsement of the plan. >> Now that's where that's where they got the that the concession stand >> concessions. Yeah I think it's actually shown on the plan right? >> Yeah sure.

35
00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:53.519
And what is the purpose for the 13oot easement? >> It's not a 13 foot easement. It has a 13 foot >> just additional access I'm assuming for utilities because there were better there better utilities um quick >> street. Yeah. >> But their legal technical frontage for

36
00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:12.480
meeting zoning uh and area is on the quarry street side. I like how they joged in the uh the band stamp on the property lines >> that was on the previous one that come out previously. Yeah. >> And then Lebanon Street has all been

37
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:29.440

39
00:10:45.360 --> 00:11:03.360
plan believed not to require approval ANR plan of land file number 25-1637 owner applicant Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River. Prop property location 1540 Stafford Road CES map D-05

40
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:18.959
lots 0120. So you'll notice the file number on this is actually a 25 file number which means it was from the end of last year. So originally this plan came before you uh creating two buildable lots out of the

41
00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:34.640
Notre Dame cemetery. That plan was endorsed, never picked up, never recorded. During the survey uh before the sale was to take place of these two parcels, they realized that there were minor encroachments from some of the abuing

42
00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:51.200
land users. So what they've done is you'll see creating parcel A and parcel B. Those parcels will be conveyed to the adjacent land owners to eliminate two encroachments that each of them had. One of them was a stone wall, another of them was patio on the other side.

43
00:11:51.200 --> 00:12:07.680
>> I saw parcel A and B on the plan I was emailed. Yep. >> I can't see it here. >> Maybe. Is that the original plan? Maybe you're looking at >> It's the bottom of the It's right here. >> You know, >> Yeah. See, I don't have it on my

44
00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:28.560
>> Yeah, but I saw that's the plan that you guys were doing the last time. >> Okay. So, Mike's got We don't have Okay. Hold on. >> Mike Michael's to fix it. >> No, I saw it. I saw it. Let's go. That's quite generous of them.

45
00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:43.680
>> Yeah, I did see that on the one email size. >> Yeah, >> but I couldn't see there. I'm like, I know I need glasses, but am I that blind? [laughter] >> Yeah. So, so ultimately, they're still creating the two buildable parcels, one and two, which you saw on the on the

46
00:12:43.680 --> 00:13:00.480
previous plan. But on top of that, they they were lucky enough to have the additional frontage and area to be able to deal with these encroachments. And >> I don't know if they're gifting the parcels. >> Yeah, I was going to say. >> Okay. >> Well, that's what I was going to say. >> I don't know. They're very generous.

47
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:15.920
>> I guess. >> All right. Do we have a motion? >> A motion >> to accept. >> I second Beth's motion. >> Beth Lauria. All in favor, Michael?

48
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:31.600
>> Yes. >> Lauria, >> yes. >> Beth, >> yes. >> And I draw forever. Yes. As well. >> Okay. Next, the approval of the minutes of the meeting. We have them right here. We were all present except for Mario. If everybody's [clears throat] looked

49
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:47.040
