States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. We have 21 items on this evening's agenda and I will ask the city
clerk to please read agenda item number one, minutes of the city council meeting, April 14th, 2025. Council Brown. Thank you, Mr. President. Move to accept and place on file the minutes. Motion made in second to accept and place on file the minutes. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none,
all those in favor? Opposed. The meeting meeting minutes are filed. Votes 90. Agenda item number two. Now is the time for the public hearing on the application for special permit from 27 Curtis A LLC for the proposed renovation and reconstruction of a pre-existing non-conforming car wash located at 27
Curtis Avenue. Order number 25-100 9397. Okay. This public hearing will taken up in four stages. First with the public speaking in favor, starting with the applicant. Second, questions from the public. Third, public speaking in opposition. And fourth, questions from the council. I'll ask the applicant to
come on up and uh describe his project. Again, please state your name and address for the record, please. Good evening. My name is uh Nick Gilus, 27 Curtis AV Malbor. Okay. You want to tell us about your project? Sure. Um would it be possible
to show any any slides or It would have if you had them to us uh ahead of time. Okay. Sorry. Uh there's no way to transfer those that quickly. It just it take me a few minutes. Um, how about if um how about we'll call a a two-minute
recess. Second session at 8:05 and this is the public hearing for Curtis A car 27 Curtis A the car wash and we at the portion of the public hearing with the public speaking in favor starting with the applicant Nick I'll turn it over to you. Appreciate it. Thank you and sorry
for that inconvenience everybody, but glad we're able to uh work it out. So, we are here for the uh current car wash at 27 Curtis A. We are looking to demolish it uh and rebuild uh an existing car wash with the same number
of bays. Um the reason that we want to demolish the existing wash rather than just renovate it is to basically improve the site in every conceivable way. Um if you don't mind changing to the next slide. And so what's behind me is the existing conditions plan. You'll see
that the for purposes on the screen, the right side of the wash actually encroaches on the setback. There's no green space and traffic enters. Yeah, Nick, you want to keep the microphone just so folks at home. Thank you. Thank you. And
so the current wash uh encroaches on the side setback. It actually goes over a city easement. Um, and also the curb cut is one massive curb cut that runs the whole front edge of the property and allows traffic to sort of be a free-for-all. Um, there's three vacuum islands and a sign and so traffic just
sort of squeezes its way through and there's no rhyme or reason to how the traffic enters or exits um because all the bays are open on both sides. So no one pulls in and backs out. They will pull in and then exit in either direction. Uh the other challenge with this site um which isn't really
demonstrated here is a lot of uh people coming to the car wash actually use what is not our property to drive up and around to make this turn to come through the bays this way. So a lot of traffic actually enters from the other street above and comes down this lot and comes
on uh from the side. So there's a lot of things wrong with this property. So we felt this was a great opportunity to actually make it more conforming. Um actually if you don't mind going to the next slide which brings me to what we have proposed. Um and so the biggest takeaways here are redirecting traffic.
Uh and the biggest way we're going to do that is actually put in some green space of which there is none currently to divert the traffic to a oneway in one way out uh pattern or flow. And so the idea here is that we could also contain all the
traffic on our site because right now if our neighbor decided to put up a fence right here, it would be incredibly difficult, almost impossible for a car to squeeze through this little gap, which is only about 10 ft to actually stay on our property and make this swing in one motion to get into the existing
wash. And so the reason we designed it this way is that should anything happen with our neighbors either front or I'm sorry rear or to the side we can uh contain all the traffic on our site. So the new traffic flow would be the cars
come and enter from the side into each of the bays and then they would exit and there's a a 27 1/2 ft um space between the exit and the property line which is more than enough room for a car to turn
out of a 16t wide bay and enter the street. The other thing is for you know we we took a lot of things into consideration. Another one being um life safety. So, what happens if a fire truck needs to get into the building or to the building um or around the building and every single bay is full with a car and
they can't get out for some reason? We actually have enough room for emergency vehicles to loop all the way around the entire lot. So, the idea is that there's never a point in time where traffic is blocked or uh gets stuck queuing and they can't turn around and leave. So, if
you're in this line of traffic and you you decide you don't want to leave, you're not going to back up. you're going to move to the left, get out, and go around the building and leave. Um, actually, if you don't mind going to the next slide, please. And so, this is a comparison of the existing conditions to what's proposed side by side. It makes it a
little I'm in the way. It makes it a little easier to see. So, right now, again, on the property line, outside the setback over an easement, traffic is a free-for-all. Here you can see that the new building is sort of a zigzag in design to actually conform to what the
uh I guess the buy right setbacks would be. Um we've also added designated parking spaces which would also be the vacuum stations. There'd be four vacuums here. Um so we'd be eliminating two of those to reduce noise, to reduce the amount of trash, to reduce anything that would be considered
um not what's the word I'm looking for here? uh less than desirable. Um and so again, the whole point of this was to take a car wash that's dated, that's dilapidated, that's falling down, um that has an erratic traffic pattern,
that's sitting over a city easement, um that predates any sort of zoning bylaws and make it conform to everything in the best way that we could. Uh if you don't mind going to the next slide, please. Uh and so this is just the um the elevations. So we consider this to be the front. The front would be facing the
left side of the screen. The rear would be what you see when you're exiting. Um the right side elevation is actually what would be facing the street. Uh and the left side elevation is what would be facing the lot behind us or above you on the screen. If you don't mind going to
the the next slide, please. Uh and so a very elementary uh architectural design just because there really isn't too much to it. Um, it would just be masonry block with a uh a woodframed roof to keep some of the equipment out of the
elements during the winter time. Um, but basically two self-service bays and two inbay touchless automatics, a little office for staff with a bathroom and then the pump room. Um, and that's pretty much it. All that's it. Any other
members of the public speaking in favor? Any other come on up. State your name and address for the record. Sure thing. Can you hear me? All right. Uh Jim Waterman, 223 East Main Street, Marboro. I'm Jim Waterman. I'm with Washful Car
Wash. We're working to develop 223 East Main Street into a new automated car wash location. I'm here to speak in favor of the project at 27 Curtis Avenue. We believe that Marbor Market is an underserve is underserved with professional modern car wash facilities. We believe that the Curtis project here
will also offer the public an updated, efficient, and environmentally friendly option for a professional self-service car wash. This upgrade is to a long-standing location which will give those who prefer to wash their cars themselves and improve operation open 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. Since the Curtis A since Curtis A will remain a self-service car wash, it will meet the demand of the multiple washing options available here in Marorrow. Curtis A is a location known to the public as a car wash for many decades and deserves the
opportunity to be re revitalized and made into a modern destination for car wash customers. They're offering although very different from what we're proposing at our project, we it will help meet the demand that we believe exists here in Marboro for professional car washing. Washville does not provide
a self-service car wash operation. So, we're glad that this option will remain in place for at Curtis Avenue. We look forward to being good neighbors with the Curtis AB car wash and since we offer extremely different experiences, um, we think the Marbor market will benefit
greatly. Thank you. Thank you, Jim. Any other members of the public speak in favor? Any other members of the public speaking in favor? Any other members of the public speaking in favor? Hearing none, I close that portion of the public hearing. Questions from the public? Any
questions from the public? again name and address. Uh Mike Michael Wheeler uh 223 East Main Street. Uh my my question just has to do with um uh the what happens with the the
wastewater and how that's going to be managed? Is it is it recycled? Is it um how is it how are you currently doing it now? Uh well, as of right now, there's a trench drain in the rear of the building. um which doesn't make any
sense because everything pitches forward towards the street. Um we have we have not finalized uh you know our engineering plans yet. Obviously we'd like to see an approval or a vote in favor of before we we finalize it. Uh that being said to bring everything up to modern state-of-the-art standards
with oil water separators and all the appropriate drainage and more importantly to try to contain as much of the um storm water runoff that we can you know is is the ultimate goal. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Mike. Any other questions from the
public? Any other questions from the public? Any questions from the public? Hearing none, I close that portion of public hearing. Public speaking in opposition. Any members of the public speaking in opposition? Members of the public speaking in opposition. Any

this establishment's been here since I can remember. How long have you been in business? This has been here since the 70s before I was alive. Long time. So, it's about time for to renovate. Yes. Very good. Thank you. Thank you, councelor Vital. Any other questions
from the counselors? Councelor Irish. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Uh, good evening. Quick question. You mentioned an easement on the property. I'm very familiar with the property, so I'm thinking that you do have an easements going into that uh location. Uh will you be looking for any
additional easements to get that um to get that location up and built? Uh no, actually the intention is to take it off of an easement. That's what I thought I heard. Right. And so the easement that's there, you know, if you had, I believe it's a sewer easement for the city and
if you needed to maintain it or do work, you would actually have to go inside our building and destroy it. So the idea is to move the building completely off the easement. We make a better build out for you. Exactly. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Council Irish. Council Pachillo. Thank you, Mr.
President. Just a quick question. And I'm sure we'll cover this uh in urban affairs as well, but I noticed in the plans you have four parking spots that will be for the vacuum use. Are there going to be any other parking spots in the plan? Um and where would those be located? So, there's nothing designated right as
of right now. Um the idea was to leave enough room to put a parking spot out front for staff. Um but that has not been finalized yet. Gotcha. Okay. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Council Fill. Any other questions from the counselors? Questions from the
counselors? Councelor Roby. Thank you, Mr. President. So, this uh is in urban affairs where you will be heading next. I know this went to site plan and then site plan was what caused you to come to us because you're pre-existing non-conforming. We haven't seen these
plans. So, is it possible for you to get them to the city council through our the city clerk can make sure that those get forwarded to so that we have a chance to peruse them a little more than seeing them on the screen tonight and we can
have them. I I did submit a number of paper copies before I thought they came through. I went through all of my stuff and I couldn't find them, but maybe I just need to go back and look for them. If not, the I'm sure the city clerk will email the package that Nick's provided us this evening. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I
thought it came with a special permit application. I printed like 22 copies or something. All right. Then I must have it somewhere. I've among all my other papers, I looked in in a hurry to to make sure that I brought it tonight and all I could find was what was on the agenda. Um so it's got to be this. So
thank you then. If everybody has that, we will be seeing you at a future uh urban affairs meeting. Any other questions from the city councilors? Questions from the city councilors? Questions from the city councilors? Hearing none, I close that portion of the public hearing and the

p.m. Any other reports of committees? Councelor Brown. Thank you, Mr. President. Um, the Legislative and Legal Affairs Committee met on April 23rd, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. And we took up one order,
order number 25-10009414, communication from city solicitor Jason Gfield regarding procedure to fill vacant ward 7 counselor position. The chair read the letter from city solicitor Gfield setting forth state law in the city's
plan B form of government as well as historical research provided by city clerk Carrian. More specifically two instances in which a vacancy occurred before the last 6 months of the term of office in 1995 and in 2003. The solicitor further noted that a
municipality may seek special legislation to affect only the municipality in accordance with section 81. The home rule amendment in the Massachusetts Constitution. Local approval by the mayor and city council of a home rule petition to seek special
legislation is required. A home rule petition requests the adoption of legislation by the legislature for a purpose and often includes draft legislation. Should the city council wish to seek to obtain special legislation, the city solicitor can
assist in drafting of a home rule petition. City Clerk Carrian addressed the options, explaining the timeline associated with having a preliminary special election and final special election while simultaneously holding a preliminary municipal election and final
municipal election as the confusion that the two would present to voters, especially with early voting in mail-in ballots. I just got confused reading that so I could see why. After a lengthy discussion, it was a consensus
of all counselors present that the city should obtain special legislation to appoint an individual to fill the ward 7 city council seat rather than hold a special election to fill the current vacancy. On a motion by councelor Roby, seconded by the chair, the committee recommends the city solicitor be
requested to draft a home rule petition to wave chapter S59A requiring a special election to fill the vacant ward counselor's seat. and further to authorize the city council to immediately appoint the
winner of the regular municipal election to fill the unexpired W 7 city council seat. The vote carried 30 and the meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m. Um I will be asking for a suspension.
Chairs asked for suspension of the rules. All those in favor of the suspension opposed. Suspension carries. Votes 90. Councelor Brown. Thank you, Mr. President. Uh move to send move to send this item to the solicitor to draft a home rule petition. Motion made in
second to send this item to the solicitor to draft a home rule petition. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, are those in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. The vote is 90. This will go to the solicitor draft a home rule petition. Any other reports of
committees? Councelor Roby. Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to report that urban affairs will also be meeting on um May 1st at 6:30. Urban Affairs May 1st 6:30. Any other reports of

Recommendation of the urban affairs committee is to approve as amended. Councelor Roby. Thank you, Mr. President. Move the recommendation of committee to approve. Motion's made
second and move the recommendation of the committee. Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, I will ask the clerk to read the conditions and this will be a roll call vote. The city council, pursuant to its authority under Mass Massachusetts general laws chapter 48 and the zoning ordinance of the city
of Malro, hereby grants the applicant an amendment to delete condition number 8C of the original special permit in its entirety and inserting in its place the following condition number 8C. In addition to the amended plan, In addition to the planned improvements to Route 20, the applicant shall in
coordination with Mass DOT and the engineering division of the Department of Public Works make the following traffic calming improvements in the vicinity of the site. rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the proposed crosswalks over Route 20 in the vicinity of the site in lie of the
