This legal notice is also posted in Massachusetts newspapers public association mna website at masspublic noticotices.org. John Cino chair and clerk regarding 26006. Okay. Um, who do we have from
um Lumber Street um that wants to um tell us all about what you what you want to do? >> Uh, Mr. Chair, Sean Masterson, um, I cannot vote nor comment on this uh, application because I do represent the applicant in other matters.
>> Oh, okay. Thank you, Sean. Oh, that that that sucks. I I I [laughter] you bring some good stuff. Okay. Well, that means you have to bring double for the next one. Okay. Um, >> so Kathy Sherry here. I'm representing RAC Hawkington and the owner Paul
Mastriani. Um, I also have John Federico here from Gary Arnon who um, developed our site plan for this particular lot and parcel. So, he's going to actually speak to our special permit request to provide you with an overview and then
I'll I'll speak to the use variance request that we're putting forward. >> Great. >> So, John, do you want to go ahead? >> Sure. Can I >> if I could be >> Hi Paul. [laughter] >> Uh so as far as everything goes, if I could be uh granted um screen sharing
privileges, um I'll be able to pull up a copy of the plan to show everyone. >> Your background doesn't seem like you're in Hopington. Uh, unfortunately my uh room's a little bit of a mess here. So, uh, guess you guys don't want to see that. >> You're definitely remote.
>> You're definitely remote. >> You look like you're on the moon. >> Uh, you know, I'd like to travel a little bit. So, uh, you know, if I can get out there, I'll get out there. >> All right. Perfect. >> But, uh, so this is, uh, in front of us, if everybody can see this, this is the
existing conditions plan for lot 4. Um currently this site is a wooded site. Um there's only been some minor clearing that was done as a part of our um initial soil testing for the project. Um we are currently in front of the
planning board for site plan review and we have already been in front of the conservation commission and have received an order of conditions uh for our proposed work. Um so the overall site is approximately uh three and a half acres and uh it is surrounded on uh
three sides by a wetland and it is uh bordered on the northwestern side by lumber street. For our proposal here uh we are looking to construct a uh 2400 square foot office building uh with a small utility
room. Um, as a part of that proposal, we will have 15 total parking spaces. Of those parking spaces, uh, we will be having, uh, up to, I believe, two of them, um, EV ready spaces. Um, and, uh, that will be reflected on a final plan
revision, uh, for the planning board. But, uh, we are in front of you folks tonight, um, as we are tripping, uh, the 2,500 square ft of impervious area, um, for the project site. Um our total disturbance is going to be about eight
and a half% um keeping in mind that a majority of the site is the wetlands out here. Um but um it is a relatively straightforward proposal. Um and the uses out here um Kathy will go into a little bit more detail. Uh but we are proposing um essentially office retail
use. Um and then uh there is a possible tenant that we'll be looking to do a vet clinic that uh Kathy can go into a little bit more detail on. Uh but as far as the site goes, um we are servicing it um with a uh septic system. Um and that will be located in this back area uh
where a majority of our parking is stored. And then uh within this front area here uh and if anybody would like to see a uh underground plan, I can pull that up. Um we will be having our uh proposed uh storm water infiltration system. Uh that is designed to meet TSS
and water quality requirements. And in um most of the storms uh we will be fully recharging all groundwater. Um only in the 100red-year storm will be discharging a little bit of water um that we cannot fully get in uh for that system. Um we are going to be going with
uh underground um water uh gas and electrical services and we have been working with the fire department and we'll be proposing a sprinkled building here um to accommodate um for our um lack of uh full fire access that we will
have. Uh the uh project is going to be served by a uh primarily 24ft drive aisle um to get to the rear parking area. However, just to help accommodate for any uh fire and or emergency vehicles, uh we did widen up the front portion to about 26 ft uh just to give a
little extra space that is there. Um we are within a uh neighborhood mixeduse and this area does have a master permit associated with it. Uh so we are meeting all those requirements um including extending sidewalks to the property lines uh providing ADA accessibility as
well as the EV charging stations. Uh, so that's just a very rough overview for things. If anybody has any particular comments, would like to see a different plan sheet, uh, or the architecturals, I'll be more than happy to pull any of those up for you. Okay. First, I just want to make sure that we know who's on
this one. So, we got Jim, Michael, uh, Arnold, you're here. >> Yes, I am. >> Okay. Arnold, me. >> Mike. Yeah, Mike Heaton and James.
>> There's There's five of us. >> Oh, okay. Um. >> Okay. So, and James. So, so wait a minute. So, I have I have I have James, Michael, Arnold, John, and um Dan and Dan here, too.
>> No, Mike Heaton is here. >> Oh, Mike Heaton. Okay, so Mike, you're on this one because our counselor, our other counselor Oh, actually, we got three on this board. I believe on some of these meetings go long. Okay. Um Okay. So, all right. So, that's why I
want to make sure that that we have the five. All right. Good. Um, >> chair, >> quick point. >> So, uh, reviewing or drafting up the suggested motions. Um, I took a look at the application. I don't think they need a WR pod special permit.
Um, I can explain why if you'd like, but uh, long story short, they're not in the pod. They're in the WR pod one. >> Oh, okay. So, so, so basically everything that he just explained to us is uh >> they still need the variance and they
still need all that work for the site plan, but um here if uh the applicant stops the screen, I can pull it up and explain >> right that that would help because yeah, if you take take the screen back because you know people on on TV are going to
want to know what we're discussing. >> All right. So, can you see the zoning map? >> Yeah, it's still it's still um Oh, there it is. Okay, great. >> Okay, so this is the WR pod zoning map. And
if we zoom into there, this area, the parcel, I believe, is this one. I can't really see it. I believe it's this one. >> Um, and that is in the hatched area.
which is WRPOD one. And then if we actually know what get to the WR pod section and let's see we've got uh except that no special permit shall be required for items two and four within the WR pod one
area. Two is any use that will render impervious more than 15% or 2500 square feet of any lot. >> And they're and they're at eight and a half. >> Okay. >> Yeah. But more than But they're more than 2500. Is it an either or? >> Which one is larger?
>> No. >> Okay. >> So if if it's more than that, right? If it's more than 2500 square feet or 15%. Right. So if if 15% of the lot wouldn't equate to 2500 square feet, that that parcel would also be included. But in
this situation, they're in the WR pod one. The WR pod is the whole thing, right? But the the WR pod one is um all the areas that aren't directly around the well areas. Uh so the well areas are the ones you want to protect more. So
the WRP pod one, I'm assuming feed into the well areas, but the impervious surfaces in those areas will likely be mitigated by the time that water gets to the well areas. So that's why my understanding is that's why these uses
are exempt from the WR pod 1. But that's what our bylaws say is that if you're proposing more than 2500 square feet of impervious within the WR pod 1, you don't need a special permit. >> Excellent. special permit within the the non-hatched
gray area these areas. >> Yeah, Mr. Chairman. >> Yes. Yeah. I don't absolutely. >> So So uh does this mean that it's as of right? Uh is that what you're saying? >> No. So it's not So that's mixing up the
you uses versus the impervious and storm uh things. They still need the variance for the use, >> right? So, I mean, as far as the special permit, it's as of right. >> I mean, yeah, I guess if you want to phrase it as they can build more than
2500 square feet of impervious as of right. Sure. >> All right. Because that's what the special permit, I think, is all about, right? If they didn't have this veterinarian in there, it it would have been >> Yeah. Okay.
>> Well, so they could have done everything about Right. Okay. That's right. So, so basically, so the the 21070C um uh we don't really have to deal with. >> No. >> Okay. Great. Excellent. All right. So,
um so then you know I appreciate uh the the input now. Now, um Kathy, can you uh bring it give us some information on the use variance for for the 240B? >> Sure. So, as we've discussed, the
parcels located in the NMU district. It is subject to the master plan special permit that was granted back in 2015. So, we're seeking approval tonight assuming site plan approval from the planning board for the new building we're proposing to be used as a
veterinary clinic. So, a veterinary clinic is called out in the zoning bylaws as a very specific use and doesn't appear to fall under the general categories currently permitted in the MMU district and in the NMU district where a parcel is subject to the master
plan special permit. So, although the vet clinic is not specifically called out, um the approved uses that are by right do include very similar uses. Those include medical offices, health
service facilities, professional offices, and even R&D laboratories. So, the proposed tenant for this building would provide medical care to animals of all types, but there would be no outside facilities to either house or
exercise the animals. The clinic would be the only tenant occupying the entire site. So the the site is well screened, surrounded by wetlands and is just adjacent to the apartment complex on one side that is set back and then open
space and conservation land on the other side. There are also commercial businesses, some similar, located on the street, including a former and sometimes operating K9 training facility, uh, located across the street from this
parcel, as well as a pet grooming business located around the corner at 73 West Main, as well as another vet on West Main Street. If we were to look at the zoning map, um the vet clinic is allowed by special
permit by this board in the BR and the IB zones which are directly adjacent to our property. And the addition of a vet clinic I think is very consistent with the overall purpose of the NMU district which was intended to integrate multif family
commercial and provide uses uses that that are specialized services to the community and the region. So with that in mind, we were hoping that the vet clinic would would fit in with the
permitted uses of the NMUD and in particular land that is under the special permit. >> Yeah, I actually I I remember being on Zack when we were talking about this and I don't think we just ever thought of uh
a veterinary clinic and that's why I believe it was missing from the list. It wasn't something that was left out on purpose. It was that we didn't think about it because actually I believe that there was another vet across from MASH that's now the the um
uh >> the bakery or the pet grooming business. The pet grooming >> that's at 73. >> Yes, at 73 I believe that that was also Yeah. So I so so to me this is this is more of a mood point because I think we just you know when we put in when we
were trying to put in all of these high-end uses for that that property when when when it was first sold it's like okay so you know what's the best you know best use for the for the town as and when we were we were working out the zoning. Um, yeah. So, so yeah. So,
for me that this is this this doesn't move the needle too much from from calling it uh a um a health office or something to that [clears throat] effect. Does uh any any board members have any questions for for Kathy?
>> Jim to the chair. John, this is James. >> Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. I have no opposition to it. I think it's going to be an added addition or good addition to the town. >> Yeah. Um
Michael, anything? >> Arnold? >> Yeah, I think um you know the it it allows health service facilities. Uh, I assume that in the definitions maybe there's a there's a definition of
a what a health service facility is, but it seems to me a veterinarian is health services for people's pets. >> Uh, and I I think it's u uh I I think this this is a real good
example of that a use variance should be allowed. >> Excellent. That's exactly why I was looking at it. Yeah. because, you know, I remember being on being on Zack and I think I may even have been on the planning board when this was going on and it was just one of those that you you can't think of every use that you want to list, you know, because, you
know, especially how the world's changing so quickly nowadays, you know, we might think of something that's uh, you know, it's not even not even available right now. But anyway, yes. So, um, uh, if there's no more questions from the board, uh, is is there anybody from
the public that'd like to, uh, enter and sign in and comment. Okay, hearing none. And again, I apologize to everyone. I don't have all the little the little postage stamps. >> I'd like to make a motion to close the public hearing.
>> Do we have a second? >> Second. Beautiful. Multiple seconds. Thank you. Okay. Um, any discussion on the on the motion to close? Hearing none. James, >> yes.
>> Michael, >> yes. >> Arnold, >> yes. Um, Mike, >> Mike, >> Mike, >> Mike. >> Yes. And I vote in the affirmative also.
Okay. we close the public hearing. Um, does anybody have the the motion in front of them? I don't have mine open cuz I my my computer just came back online. >> Hold on. [clears throat]
>> I apologize. I had it right here. Hold on. No, no problem. Hey, that's what I was that's that's that's that was my problem. All right. All right. Uh uh so
veterinary use variance. Uh so these are you know what the how I propose it. The existing lot appears to meet all the zoning dimensional requirements. Two, the property is located within a neighborhood of mixed use MMU
district. Three, the proposed development is subject to the provisions as set forth in the master plan special permit dated March 26, 2015. The proposed work is to develop the property as a veterinary office which is
in which is not in allowed use within the NMU district. Findings. I move the board of appeals find as the following as it relates to the proposed development at zero lumber street lot four. The request for variance is to
allow for veterinary clinic use which is not allowed by writer special permit in the neighborhood mixed use district that allowing to the circumstances related to the soil condition, shape or topography of the land structures but not affecting the generally the zoning district in
which it is located. The little enforcement, the literal enforcement of the provisions of the bylaw would involve substantial hardship financial or otherwise. Specifically, uh list the circumstances. Well, I in in
those circumstances uh would be that they could not use it for a very related thing which is the medical use which I agree with Arnold is the medical use is veterinary. >> Is that enough?
>> Right. I believe that's enough. >> All right. that the desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and that the desired relief may be granted without nullifying or substantially degrading from the intent and purpose of the ordinance or
bylaw. I move that the board approve the variance for zero lumber street and allow for the veterinary clinic use at that location. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, James. Okay, we have a we
have a motion in a second. Any discussion on the on the U motion that was just read? >> No, I just think this is, you know, you know, they obviously Mr. Mastriani's built a lot of very nice places. He's
well, he's a great uh person in town who contributes a lot to this town. It is all the structures are always done professionally, very clean. I think uh anything that he's going to do will continue with that same thing. So, I do support this 100%
and we could since Mashes doesn't have a veterinarian, I think it'd be great to have a veterinarian within town. >> Yeah. And I and and I agree with Arnold that this is more this is very dimminimous, you know, in the in the separation of calling it a a human
clinic versus a veterinary clinic. And uh and again I just uh you know and I know the spirit of the law that that when we wrote it um uh 10 years ago or or more um and uh this this if we had
thought about it we we would have included it. So all right so if there's no more discussion I'll call for a vote. James >> yes. >> Uh Michael Riley. >> Yes.
>> Uh Arnold. Yes. Um, Mike Hunt. >> Mike Heaton. >> Mike Heaton. Sorry. >> Yes. >> I have both your names written next to each other. Okay. [laughter] Um, and I vote in the affirmative also.
>> Okay. So, that that uh you have your u you have your varian. >> Excellent. >> Thank you so much. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming, Kathy. Thank you for Miss Masiani. Thanks you guys. And thanks for thanks for building out Hopkin. We really appreciate it. >> Good to see you, Ryan.
>> Thanks, guys. >> Okay, have a great night. Okay, let's go to 14 West Main Street. Let me uh bring up the Hold on. I got the hearing notice.
The town of Hopkin Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 at 7 p.m. to hear all persons interested in the application for a special permit and/or variance filed by Venada Bat and Sherudi Keiny of 14 West Main Street, Hopton, Mass to
convert an existing family home to a two family multif family dwelling at 14 West Main Street Hopton Mass. This is MAP U8 block 38 block zero. The hearing will be held remotely using the Zoom meeting service. For additional information, please call the hop zba hoptonmma.gov. Call the department of land use planning
and permitting at 5084979745 or check the online meeting calendar and agenda for this meeting at hoptonmma.gov. This legal notice also post Massachusetts newspapers public association mpa website as masspublic notices.org John chair and clerk regarding 260078
007. Okay. All right. Um, who is here to speak to this? >> Jack. Jack Neland's here. >> Good evening, everyone. >> Hey, Jack. How are you? >> Hey, Jack. >> Excellent. How's everybody doing tonight? >> Very good. Thanks for coming. >> Good.
>> Thank you for all of your time. Um, so this office, Neil and Neilan, and Click, we represent the owners of 14 West Main Street. Um, Baltandra and Sui Keiny. Um and we are before uh the board this
evening um regarding a conversion of an existing single family residence located there at 14 West Main Street um into a two family. Um specific to section 210
uh 125 of the Hopkins and zoning bylaws. Um this bylaw focuses on three main factors. the exterior of the structure not to be materially altered. Uh compliance for the minimum floor area requirement and then off- streetet
parking requirements be met. Um so I'm going to take you kind of at a high level through each of those um on how the applicant has has been able to manage to meet these factors. Um and afterwards I'd be happy to answer any questions. And I also have the applicant
with me here tonight as well. uh you can speak to the intent to change. >> Thank you so much. >> Um so in terms of the material um alterations of the property um you know this is an existing onestory garage and
breezeway that is going to be kept intact. It's just going to get a facelift and obviously internally it will no longer be a hollow garage. It'll actually be a one-bedroom uh unit. Um, so the the the the goal is not to
involve any material changes of the exterior facade, the building envelope, or anything to do with the ex the architectural character. Um, now obviously I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the specific property. Um, but it does need a bit of a facelift
anyway. So this is kind of the applicant segue into doing that. And I think maybe you can agree to some extent that it's we've just been waiting for this project to happen. >> Um so he's going to reserve right to obviously swap out windows, doors, paint, siding, whatever he can do to
match the the main existing home there now. Um but all will be in intact with the residential character and comply with the with the bylaws intent. Um the on to the minimum floor area
requirements. Um so the conversion must contain not less than 600 square ft of floor area per unit. Um and as designed this unit will actually be 675 square ft. And the uh existing unit will be
shrunk down or or leveled off to 1,48 square ft totaling the property square footage at 283 square feet. um which will also be consistent with the building it own requirements here. Um
and luckily for the applicant, there is quite the curb cut down there on 14 West Main Street. So, uh providing two additional parking spaces from what they already have uh will be no issue. Um the applicant provided a parking plan as a
part of his petition. Um so, we can look at that together. But there's actually space not only in front of the existing parking area that that is there now, but also to the lefthand side of the property as well. Um, and you know, in some instances, adding more cars to a
parking area can create issues. However, um, you know, given this property layout and where the house is, uh, the parking layout will, you know, allow for safe vehicular access and allow cars to maneuver around. um and it won't affect the expansion or the alteration of the
building as it sits there today. >> Um so again, this house, you know, our deed deed research tracks it back to at least the bones of the house being there since about 1850. Um so, you know, along with any upgrade will will will come this additional
unit. Um and you know at this time the applicant respectfully submits that you know they have met all of the factors in consideration under the bylaw and they are seeking approval of such conversion. Um so please any
questions uh from the board or the public for either myself or uh Mr. Bot be happy to answer any questions. >> Yeah. So >> I I Oh, go ahead. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Through through the chair, I I do have one quick question. Could this not be an
ADU? >> He He's not applying for an accessory dwelling. He's looking for a conversion of the property from a single to a multi just like across the street at 11 West Main, which was approved last year. Any
other questions for anybody? >> No, I I think this is great. I love this type of project. It just, you know, avails, you know, useful space, makes it better. You know, I don't know who's planning on living there, but I I think it's great that uh you're being creative
and uh you're using your space as such. So, good luck with it. >> Yeah, I just I look at the same way to, you know, it's it's it's going to make the the house look better. The streetscape is going to be better and um Yeah. Yeah. This is this is this is
great. I did the same I did the same thing on Grove Street. Yeah. Wonderful. Right over the garage. >> Do we want to hear from Fred? Fred's opin I mean Jeff's opinion. Our new guy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Hey, new guy.
Hi, how are you? >> No, I'm all in favor. I uh additional housing is always beneficial. >> Um I think I would buy the property today and pick a book and I think it'll
be a big improvement to the property and uh coming into town spruce it up nice. >> Okay. >> Excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. >> Welcome aboard. >> Thank you. >> Yes. as you can tell we're we're we're we're a we're a tight run ship here.
Excellent. >> Moving right along, too. [laughter] >> Yeah. Again, but this is, you know, especially like you got to see the, you know, the first one that we just did, you know, you know, when I was on the when I was on Zack, it's just one of these things. You try and think of every
single possible scenario and, you know, we just never thought of veterinary clinic. You know, everyone wants biotech, biotech, biotech. That's what we keep asking for at Salt Street. And it >> it's a good use for that area. >> Yeah.
>> All right, John. Focus. >> Any any members of the public want to uh want to uh enter and sign in? >> Wow. Okay, Jeff, you're gonna be at one of these when we have like 200 people. Oh, that's a lot of fun. Okay, so we
have nobody. Okay. So, uh, if there's no >> I make a motion to close a public hearing. >> Second. >> Thank you, Jeff. I mean, thank you, James. Okay. Uh, sorry. I just just a couple hours ago, I hit my head and had a concussion, so it's just so I'm a
little little fuzzy right this minute. Um, >> really can't tell the difference. >> Yeah. Oh, God. [laughter] I got snow bump my head. Um, but anyway, uh, okay. So, we have a we have a motion to close. Any
discussion on the motion to close? Hearing none. Okay. So, this time we've got James, Michael, Arnold, John, and I, uh, Mr. Masterson, you back in.
>> Yes. >> Okay. And Mr. Mast. Excellent. Okay. Okay. We got Sean. Okay. James, >> yes. >> Michael, >> yes. >> Arnold,
>> yes. >> Sean, >> yes. >> And I vote in the affirmative also. Excellent. Okay. The public hearing is closed. Any disc anybody want to come up with a motion? Anybody want to discuss anything about this? Since we had no questions, I don't think there's much of
a discussion. Okay. Um, Michael, may I uh ask you again since I don't have mine open? >> Yep. The facts. The property currently contains a single family dwelling unit. Two, the applicant is requesting
approval for conversion to a two family dwelling unit pursuant to section 210-125 conversions of residential property. Three, the property is located in residents B zoning district which requires a lot area of 45,000 square
feet in a frontage of 150 ft. The subject property has 39,080 square ft of lot area and 223 feet of frontage. Meaning the property is a pre-existing non-conforming with respect to the lot area but contains an existing dwelling
unit which is proposed to remain. findings. I find that the board of appeals find the following as it relates to proposed development at 14 West Main Street. One, the applicant has stated their intention to convert the existing
single family dwelling to a two family dwelling and has further stated the proposed conversion does not involve any material change to the exterior facade, building envelope, or overall architectural character of the structure. All improvements will occur
within the existing footprints in exterior walls. The appearance of the property will viewed from West Main Street in abuing parcels will remain substantially unchanged apart from some possible windows, doors, paint, sighting, etc.
two. Unit one proposed to contain 14 give or take 148 square feet of floor area and unit two is proposed to contain plus or minus 675 square ft of floor area meeting the minimum floor area requirements of 600 square foot for each
unit. Three, the plan submitted as part of the application. The parking plan updated shows parking areas large enough to accommodate two spaces per unit. Four, all other applicable criteria standards set forth in 210 zoning have
been satisfied. Five, grant of the special permit will be in harmony with the general purpose and the intent of 210 zoning. I move forward I move forward that that the the board approve a special permit for 14 West Main Street to allow for the
conversion of the residential property from one unit to two dwelling units pursuant to the provisions of 210-125 zoning bylaws. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Okay. Any discussion on the motion or
any any friendly amendments hearing? None. James, >> yes. >> Michael, >> yes. >> Arnold, >> yes. >> Sean, >> yes. >> And I vote in the affirmative also.
Excellent. Mr. Nean, thank you very much for your for your presentation. Really appreciate. >> Good job. >> And my and my congratulations to your to your clients. Thank you for for making the town look better and better. One house at a time. We're doing it. We're
doing it. All right, everybody. Thank you for your time. Take care. >> Thank you. >> We got approve the minutes. >> Yeah, I'm just opening up. I'm opening up now. Okay.
Okay. So, we have uh um then we have any [clears throat] changes to the December 10th, 2025 minutes as drafted. >> Okay. Would somebody like to make a motion to uh adopt the drafted the
