LLC applicant to Tom Navy. And with that said, go ahead, Pete. >> All right. Thanks, Woody. Um Tom, do you have anything uh to present uh or to update the planning board regarding your request? >> I do. Uh thank you. I I wrote the
planning board um a letter on November 12th and u I also submitted to you a recorded copy of the decision and the
security agreement as well. Um, but at this time I'm asking the board to uh entertain a motion that uh to release all the lots within the subdivision, lot 1A, lot two, and lot three. Um, I wanted
to put a vote on record at the registry so there'd be no confusion whatsoever that the lots are available for sale since we have posted the bond and we have posted the money with the town treasurer.
It's a a pretty, you know, simple thing, simple request. Um, it may seem a little unorthodox because customarily we would have filed a covenant with the board requesting that you sign the subdivision plans and then once the bonds were
posted, normally you would go and get financing and either enter into one of the three methods that are shown in your regulations to secure the construction of the of the road. um we would then ask for a lot release once that security was
was issued from the covenant. So in this case we don't have a covenant. We went directly to a security agreement and posted the security in the form of cash. So so the record is clear and I've been
around the block a few times with title examiners and they always get bogged down to the fact that there's no release on record of the lots to be sold. So, that's what we're asking the board to do tonight. If you uh would oblige, we'd appreciate it.
>> All right. Thank you, Tom. Let me just see if the board members have any questions. Larry, do you have any questions? >> I do not. >> Okay. Uh Steve, do you have any questions? >> No, you don't have any questions. Great. Scott, any questions? >> I don't have any questions.
>> Beautiful. Um, that being the case, um, I would welcome a motion to approve, uh, first the 100 high road site plans which are dated the 21st of May, 2025 and revised on October 15th, 2025.
>> So move. >> So move. >> Uh, thank you, Steve. And a second, Larry. >> Second. Yeah. >> Thank you very much. Roll call vote. Larry. >> Yes. >> Thank you, Steve. I >> Yes. Uh Scott, >> yes. >> Thanks. And I will also vote yes as
well. And uh ask for a second motion to release lots 1A, 2, and three uh as shown in the approved subdivision plans located on 100 High Road for sale. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Steve. Is there a second?
>> Second. >> Thank you, Larry. Uh uh uh any discussion, any questions? Uh Larry, how do you vote? >> Uh yes. Thank you. Uh Scott, how do you vote? >> Uh yes. >> Uh thank you. And Steve, >> I >> and I do as well. And I'll turn this
back over to you. And uh thanks very much, Tom. Good luck. >> Thank you. Enjoy the rest of night. >> Yep. Good luck with everything, Tom. Have a good day. >> Thank you. Thank you, Woody. >> Um turning to the next item on the agenda. Um liaison meeting reports.
We'll start with uh ZBA, Larry. >> Thank you, Woody. Uh the ZBA is holding their regular monthly meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 at the town hall. Uh two items on the agenda. Uh one is they're reviewing a final decision on uh uh
where is it 25 Harvard Way uh which is um for additions and renovations uh uh to expand the footprint and go up. Uh they they voted approval at the last meeting subject to drafting a favorable decision. So they're going to look at that tomorrow night.
And uh the Sunset Club P uh pavilion is also on the um um on the agenda uh for tomorrow night. I understand some new renderings have been submitted and they're taking up the discussion again on that matter.
And uh that's all I have for new. >> All right. Thank you, Larry. Uh Conservation Commission, that would be me. Um, we had a meeting last night. It was a uh emergency special meeting
for applicant on the Newport Turnpike that um had sold their home or was in the process of selling their home and had discovered that there were three open orders of conditions, one date back to the 90s that we had no records of.
So, we hashed our way through all that and uh it was a favorable for the applicant and they're set to go. So, other than that, um I have nothing to report from conservation. Um we will be meeting in I believe the
first Tuesday of December. Um next we have MVPC Kristen. >> Um yep. Uh we have our MVPC uh November commissioners meeting tomorrow. So I
will report on that at the next meeting. Um the MVPC regional planners meeting normally would be next Thursday but um everyone will be celebrating the holiday next Thursday. So, we met
yesterday um with MVPC and the regional planners and they presented um a review of the priority growth strategy, the regional priority growth strategy, which I may have mentioned before, but they've
um completed the full plan and developed um what's called an experience builder. It's this actually really very very cool GIS tool that sort of is a story map of the plan in the region. Um essentially
the priority grow growth strategy isn't it's not really a new plan. It's sort of pulling together all of the work that's been done recently. So the housing production plans, the um community economic development, the SDS plan um
and a lot of data related to transportation and other um sort of industrial commercial growth, a lot of economic development um growth plans. So, I will share that link and we'll post it um on the new town website um
which we'll be working on over the next couple weeks um cleaning up some of the planning pages and it's just has a lot of data all in one place and it's a pretty cool tool to check out how Newbury kind of sits within the Marramac Valley region. Um, one little data point
I thought was interesting from their presentation yesterday was um, Marramac Valley, they had population growth, uh, projections for the next 10 years and Marramac Valley is projected to grow
3.5% um, population in the next three years, next 10 years. and we're the only region in the state that's projected to grow, which is just interesting to think about
in terms of population. So, um, that's it for the MVPC report. >> Okay. Thank you, Kristen. Um, I have we're on the verge of 7:14 here, so in about a minute, we'll open up a public
hearing. Um, and I just thought I'd mention, I think the board knows this, but for anyone listening, we'll have um the minutes from the last planning board meeting um available at our next meeting. We um apologize, but didn't get
them ready for this for this time. So, November 5th will be reviewed at the December 3rd um public meeting. Our next meeting uh would be December 3rd. So, Wednesday.
>> Yeah. >> And then our meeting after that would be December 17th, the week before Christmas Eve. So, if at all possible, if we don't have anything for us and we may or may not have a meeting, so
we'll keep you updated on that. We're going to have 7:15 public hearing continuence for 34 Central Street level uh level two site plan review application for Bfield Heights a 44 unit multif family development in the new
zoning bylaw section 97-4g MBTA communities multifamily overlay district at 34 central street assessments map R1909 owner Melody and Robert Pritchard applicant Massachusetts Housing Opportunities
Corporation LLC. I'd like to welcome Michael Ives and Jerry Welch, Engineer Christian Smith, and I'd like to also welcome Tom Council Jay Tullivan. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman, and thank
you uh for having us tonight. Um, I'll quickly just go over and uh I guess you folks can let me know if you want me to put the uh the presentation plan up uh on a share screen. Um, I can quickly go through the the issues we've we've dealt
with since our last meeting. Um those would be uh number one the the charges that we had uh after the last meeting was to evaluate the the lighting based on the uh ordinance and we have uh
submitted a letter from our lighting engineer that specifies the criteria as well as the fact that uh everything within the uh within the development uh does meet that criteria. Um and again, you know, our my clients um have
indicated that uh if the end of the driveway uh pedestal lights uh like had been shown from Governor Dummer, I believe one other project as well. Um they're they're perfectly happy to add those to the plan if the board feels
that that is warranted or preferred. uh but lighting as as shown uh does indeed meet the um meet the letter of the code. Uh secondarily, we have added uh to deal with the question regarding the uh
turning radiuses or radi, excuse me. Uh we have added the 15 mph uh speed limit sign near the entrance. We have addressed all of the uh traffic consultant MDM comments. Uh,
aside from those, it will be on the final off-site improvement plan. Uh, which I think [clears throat] Kristen and I both uh were of the same opinion that uh essentially, you know, that that will be done once we have everything squared away both uh
through the conservation commission uh as well as uh as well as the Biffield Water District. And I should update you that we did meet with Biffield Water last uh week and I think we have a plan as to how to go about
defining and determining uh exactly where the transite pipe and the concrete line ductal iron pipe transition. And my my clients are are in ongoing negotiations with him as to you know
number one figuring out exactly what that length of pipe is uh who will be responsible for you know what specifically uh regarding the uh upgrade of that pipe to concrete line ductal iron [snorts] and then um I thought there was one
other issue I wanted to touch on um let's Well, we did we did receive um we did receive the commentary from uh Martha specific to the architectural plans and I know that
the architect is actively working to address those final issues. And um final piece is we have uh a well I shouldn't say we cuz it was actually uh Jerry Welch and our landscape architect uh met with the Scadaris on
their property and they this the scaderies have have commented and and um determined the specific planting that they want. I think they were okay with the planting scheme, the separation, the height at the time of planting and the ultimate height of the mature trees that
were selected and uh we were actually provided today by our landscape architect with the updated plan to indicate that particular species that the butter had chosen. Uh in addition to that, we have uh submitted uh what we hope is a final
response to uh Joe Serwatka's uh most recent review memo. Um I haven't seen anything back from uh from him on that yet. Um but we believe that we've addressed uh all of his comments and certainly anything that that would potentially be outstanding uh would be
very minimum and very likely administrative in nature. Uh, and with that, um, I guess the board can let me know if they would like me to put the plan up for for talking purposes, uh, or otherwise I will, uh, happily address,
uh, any questions from the board. >> Okay. Thank you, Christian. Um, before I go through the board members, um, Kristen, are there any new uh, departmental uh, comments? Um Christian mentioned that Martha
Taylor um our special projects planner did review the architecture um and share some comments around which I've shared with the applicant and with you and I think um they're primarily
sort of consistency and and sort of detail uh detail consistency among the plans. So I think the way we are intending to address that is in a condition and just say you know the final architectural drawings will be
reviewed um before final at a later date before the building permits are issued. So we'll have a chance to make sure that all of Martha's comments are addressed. Um and there were no other um departmental
comments. Um Joe Surwaka did receive the revised plan set last week. I haven't received a review letter from him. I um did I still expect one, but I also feel as though um
things were according to Christian's letter which he shared, I I think things are in good shape from um Joe's previous concerns. So I don't anticipate there being any um remaining questions from peer review. Um and
uh the other thing Christian talked about was um that we did have a site visit with the Abutter the Scooteries um and those landscape plans um are in good shape that were submitted today um documenting the buffer screening along
that side of the property. >> Okay. Thank you. [clears throat] Um, and any new written public comments, Kristen? >> Um, no. >> Okay. Thank you. Um,
all right. I'll start with Pete. Do you have any comments, Pete, or questions for Christian? >> No. Uh, thanks, Woody. Uh, Christian, uh, appreciate your your comments and I appreciate, uh, the willingness to, uh, put some pedestal lighting along the walkway, which I think would be very
helpful just for a safety standpoint. So, I appreciate that cooperation. And did you say that there was going to be a sing is was there just a single sign indicating the the speed limit when you enter or will be signs throughout? >> Uh, as as far as I understand and and I
believe we reviewed this with Vaness, uh, who was our traffic consultant. The right now, Peter, there is there is a singular sign. Um, you know, if it if it made sense, I think perhaps at the first right turn where the circle comes back
onto itself. Uh, you know, we could put one there for right turning vehicles, uh, just to remind them as they go up and around the corners. >> I just think that might be helpful. And, you know, you might just need flexibility on that. You you'll you'll get a feel for that, I think. Um, those
are my only comments. Thanks very much, Christian. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Pete. Thank you, Christian. Uh, Larry, any questions or comments? >> No, I I have nothing to add, Woody. >> Okay, thank you, Larry. Scott, any questions or comments?
Um, I believe you're muted, Scott. Uh, I have no questions. Sorry, I I got bumped off uh earlier. Um, bad connection, but no questions. Thank you. >> All right, then. Thank you, Scott, and I'm glad you're back with us.
>> Um, Steve, any questions or comments? >> No, I'm all set. >> Okay, very good. Um, I don't have any questions or comments at this time right now. So, with that said, um, [clears throat]
do we have any raised hands from the public? Um, think anyone from the public wish to make a comment or ask a question? >> I'm not seeing any. >> Yeah, I don't see anybody.
>> Okay, with that said, um, unless Jay has something he wants to say, we'll u we'll, uh, put up the draft of the decision. No, I'm in good shape. I've been
focusing on uh helping Kristen out with the with the draft. >> Okay. Yep. Thank you, Jay. Go through the modifications of the since the last meeting. Kristen,
>> sure. Um, thanks Woody. Um, can you all see the draft? >> You want me to make it a little bigger? >> That's legible for me, Kristen. Thank you. >> Um, okay. I This has a few red lines on
it. Um, uh, from the draft that was shared last week. Um, and town council has reviewed it. Um, so I'll just go along and um, it's 15 pages, so I'll try to keep it
short and sweet, but if anyone has questions, we can spend as much time talking as needed. Um, so the project's called Byfield Heights. We all know that. Um, I don't think there are any early edits, um,
other than a few typos as you see. um capital letters. Um in the procedural history, we've added um you know, we've brought the
chronology of the project up to current day up till uh November 19th, which is today's public hearing. Um so we'll clean clean this up in terms of the vote
um if it is taken later tonight. Um we've added a few more documents uh the most recent documents from the applicant um that have been shared uh the most recent landscape plan sheets that were submitted today.
Um, then we've got all these crazy numbering sequence here. Um, all the way up to triple letters. So, we've added the Newberry Fire Department review comments which we shared at the
earlier meeting in November and the architectural review comments as um uh this is a category of review letters and departmental comments. And then uh public comments. I just
shared the recent communication from um Nino Scaderia at 3 central court related to the landscaping. So the findings have been agreed upon. Um no changes there.
um conditions. [cough] I think um this edit was a clarification from town council um regarding just making D and E separate components of this um condition related to off-site
improvements. So D reads um if the applicant despite demonstrable efforts is unable to obtain the select board's permission to construct the proposed central court intersection improvement. It may seek
administrative approval approval from the planning board to be relieved of the responsibility to comply with this condition. And then if the applicant despite efforts is unable to obtain the select board's permiss permission to complete the improvements on town property along
Central Court and Central Street um including crosswalks, uh pedestrian beacons, um vegetation, uh installation of speed or other signs, it may seek approval from the planning board to um be relieved of the responsibility or
modify the responsibility. Um, so that's pretty straightforward clarification. Thank you, Jay. >> You're welcome. >> Um, I think, uh, some of these edits are
simply when we accepted changes from the red line version into the clean version, we lost a few words here and there. So, they're they're basically like proofreading um edits, but not no
changes from what was in the original red line. Um this was a clarification under the housing um this condition about the affordable housing restrictions. Um this language said that the units could be
sold or rented. And I I know the intention of this project is to be to have the units for sale. So we just clarified that, edited that. Um and then this uh cross out that you see here, we
simply moved this down further because it seemed more um clearer to understand the chronology of the steps required for the affordable housing units to be um established. So, no substantive changes here.
We've talked recently about the lighting. Um, so this I modified slightly to address that that the final lighting plan um showing any of the additional um sidewalk lighting or other
changes shall be approved at a later date by the planning board. And then here we've also talked about these two slight modifications to the language and the landscaping condition and then the addition of this condition
about the architectural plans. Um final architectural drawings shall address all review comments made during permitting and shall be reviewed and approved by the planning director and building commissioner um prior to the building permits.
Couple small edits. Um this also was language that just got lost between the red line and the clean version. And what else? small edits. Um,
this we'll make sure all this spacing gets all cleaned up in the final version. Um, and um there had been a comment related to this condition here. Um, and uh
Jay just clarified this is consistent with what we have in our bylaw. So, it it really um is not necessary to have it in the decision because we already have it as a regulation, but um it's helpful to put it right in here so everyone um
has it up front and that is it. Any questions? [snorts] Um, >> Pete, do you have any questions on anything in the decision? >> I do not. >> Larry? >> No, I don't. Woody.
>> Scott? >> Uh, no questions. Thank you. >> And, um, Steve, >> no questions. I'm all set. >> And I have no questions as well. Um, [clears throat] with that said,
uh, good job on the getting the decision together, Jay and Kristen. Um, what are the wishes of the board? Do we uh would we I' I'd entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
>> I would love to give that to you for 34 Central Street level two site plan review. And Pete, thank you for your motion. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Larry. Roll call vote. Pete, >> yes. >> Larry,
>> yes. >> Scott, >> yes. >> And Steve, >> yes. >> And I vote yes as well. Public hearing is now closed. Um, as far as the decision is concerned, I entertain a motion
to approve with the modifications that we've just saw the decision for 34 Central Street level two site plan review. >> So move. >> Thank you, Larry. Do I have a second?
>> Second. >> Thank you, Scott. Roll call vote. Peter. Yes. >> Larry, >> yes. >> Scott, >> yes. >> And Steve, >> yes. >> And I vote yes as well.
So that concludes that. Thank you, Christian. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of you uh including obviously Kristen Sadi and uh Attorney Talerman uh for all your efforts on this. I know the first
project through a brand new zoning ordinance is is never easy. Uh but I do absolutely appreciate your unwavering uh attention to this and uh assistance uh with working through those uh that new ordinance and uh getting the project to
a position of approval. Thank you all very much. >> Congratulations. I'd also like to say thank you to the board and to Kristen for uh the board being uh so thorough. I the board was so
thorough during all these hearings and Kristen I have to commend you on your organizational skills. So uh thank you for all for your for your hard work. >> Thank you. >> And have a happy Thanksgiving one and all.
Yes, you you you all as well. And thank you, Jay, for your time. >> You're welcome. >> All right. Thanks, guys. Good night. >> Have a good night. >> All right. Um, we have one thing left on the agenda and
that would be Kristen with and Sadi with the players report. >> All right. Um the work doesn't stop but um congratulations. I just want to echo um thanks to all of you for that project
um uh review which has taken a lot of people's time and energy and thought and I really appreciate it. um as well as people in the public um some of whom are on the on the meeting but all the folks in the neighborhood who've been involved
and provided comments and ask questions. I think it's um really been helpful to have community engagement on this project. Um and I look forward to seeing it move forward and providing housing for folks to live in Newbury. Um
planners report. We um would love to take a breath, but in fact, we had a subdivision, definitive subdivision filed today with us. Um so 15 Central Street, which you all reviewed the preliminary um uh
subdivision over the summer. They've filed a definitive subdivision. So, we'll be reviewing those materials um and making sure everything's in order. and then it'll come to you um to be uh submitted and received and then we'll
start a public hearing process for that two lot subdivision at 15 central. Um and we've also received last week a request for a pre-application meeting for a multif family project at 65
Handover. Um, as you recall, the very first step in our multif family bylaw is a a pre-application meeting with staff. So, it's police chief, fire chief, planning, conservation, um, health agent, everybody involved at this 12
Kentway end um, meets with the applicant and reviews their preliminary plans. So, haven't really seen it yet, but it is a parcel that was in the multif family overlay district. So, um I will keep you posted on that. Um and then just two
other quick things. Um uh mentioned it earlier, but the Seagate conservation restriction has been completely not just approved at our end as um grantee of the conservation restriction. in the town um had
signatures from the conservation commission and the select board um but the grantor um dureo and the trust that owns the properly property at 10 105 high and then it has to also get reviewed and approved by the state. So
all of that has happened. The conservation restriction is recorded. So that um open space land at the back of 100 high is permanently protected and will be um stewarded by the town's conservation commission working with the
homeowners at 105 high. Um which is great. It's a really pretty trail back there. Um and I think you know Satie and I will work with the open space committee to have some kind of walk or celebration. And I think winter would be a really beautiful time to be back
there. It's the trail kind of loops through the boardwalk and goes back into the woods towards the salt marsh on the back side of Plum Island. So, it's just it's not a big walk, but it's really beautiful. And I know those of you on
the board have have seen it and walked a little bit when it's been buggy and ticky and and dusty. Um, so I look forward to sort of celebrating that project, um, and the work the planning board did to establish that open space.
Um, so kudos on that, um, milestone for that project. And then finally, kind of related, I just want to remind you all um you should have received a email from the open space committee sent via Sadi, our assistant planner, um to inviting
the planning board to uh give comments to the open space and w committees that are working on the open space and wreck update plan. Um the planning board is one of the entities um who we obviously want to hear from, but you're also named as a requirement
to give your input and review of the open space w plan um as it gets drafted and sent up to the state to be adopted um by the state. So that um I think that inquiry should have hit you among all
the other millions of emails you got from us. So, I just wanted to like mention it and have you keep an eye out for that. Um, and if you have any questions about the open space rec plan process, um, just reach out to Satie or to me. That is my update.
>> Kristen, a quick question about that. Will the planning board be commenting as the planning board or do we comment as indiv individual members of the planning board? >> Um, I can I can answer the other question needed. Um, I believe the
intention was for you all to answer as members of the planning board because, um, as Kristen mentioned, we'll be asking for your approval, like the planning board's approval of the plan before we send it to the state. Um, so
it's kind of like we're just trying to start the process early. Like we haven't finished our draft yet. So we're just trying to start the intergroup process communication early. Um, so that you're ready for when we send you guys the draft.
If that makes sense. Does that answer your question? >> Yeah. So I think right now Steve if you have comments um from your perspective as a planner or planning board member on anything related to open space I think
it's sort of an open forum at the moment in terms of information gathering but at a later date the board will sort of be asked to more formally like approve the plan. Um is that right Satie? >> Yes. Yes. That was what I wanted to say. Yes.
>> Yeah. Yeah. You said it. We both said it. Does that make sense? So, Steve, >> well, I'm gonna do a tap dance perhaps. Uh, >> so I'm thinking that u let's say I generate some comments. I
might be able to share them with the other members of the board, not for discussion purposes, but just as an FYI, so that when we do come up with something as the official from the planning board, those considerations
might be taken into account. You know, I'm trying to work around the open meeting law or work with the open meeting law. >> Oh, it's so simple. You just send them to uh Kristen and she can circulate them to everybody.
>> Yeah. Never seems simple to me, Peter. Yeah, I think it's I mean, yeah, I appreciate your thinking, Steve, because having one opinion as a board is is a feat, right? [laughter] Like, how many
of us in the room, we're all going to have slightly different opinions. And certainly, we work through that in projects like the one that's just been approved. Um but yeah, I think at this point individual opinions and comments
are perfect and happy to distribute them to the other planning board members. Um and then again once the plan is actually drafted with an action plan, we're going to have there's going to be a public meeting related to that phase of the
open space plan as well. >> Um so >> one step at a time, I guess, >> right? Well, I anticipate you being the hub to our spokes. >> We will do our best. Yeah.
>> Very good. [clears throat] Anyone else have any questions for Kristen? Hearing none, before I entertain a motion to adjurnn, I'd just like to say that I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, and safe
Thanksgiving next week. and we'll see you the first Wednesday of December. >> Thank you, Woody. You, too. >> Same to you, Woody. >> Thank you, Woody. >> With that said, I'd entertain a motion to adjourn. >> Thank you, Scott. And do I have a
second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Larry. Uh, roll call vote. Pete. >> Yes, sir. >> Larry Scott. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. as well. And uh have a good night everyone.
>> Good night.
