CLERK OFFICE
Present: Gregory Bittner, Matthew Allison, Kenneth Chenis, Michael-Ray Jeffreys, Adam R. Burney
Absent: David Prokowiew
The Hearing continuation was to hear and discuss an application for a Site Plan Approval under § 250-8.4., Code of
the Town of Lunenburg, for construction of a three-family dwelling at 654 and 658 Massachusetts Avenue (Map 59,
Parcels 17 & 18).
Presentation was by Gregory Roy, Ducharme & Dillis Civil Design Group Inc. (DDCDG), P.O. Box 428, Bolton, MA.
Also in attendance was the property owner/applicant Steve Babineau with Signature Living, LLC, 555 Chase Road,
Lunenburg.
DDCDG updated the Board noting that an April 2, 2018 response letter had been submitted and the Plan revised
April 2, 2018 as a result of departmental reviews, Board comments, and Graves Engineering, Inc. (GEl) review letter
dated March 21, 2018. The Plan was again revised to this date as a result of GEl review letter dated April 9, 2018.
Due to time constraints, the latest revision was not available to the Board at this continuation. Stormwater
calculations have been addressed. A six-foot wide gravel shoulder has been added to the west side of the driveway.
The addition of this six-foot shoulder would allow for overflow parking and vehicles to pass one another. Some
evergreen trees have been added to the east side of the property. Sewer and water connections have been revised
in response to comments from both the Department of Public Works and the Lunenburg Water District; a sewer
manhole and stubs have been added to the site. A Traffic Impact Report, Environmental Impact Report, and
Community Impact Report were submitted as part of the April 2, 2018 response letter. With the exception of some
typographic errors, the Plan presented tonight addresses the comments in the April 9, 2018 GEl review letter.
April 9, 2018 GEI review letter notes, #22 "...it may not be clear to drivers on Massachusetts Avenue that the gravel
driveway is intended for a driving surface, and the gravel surface will have to be plowed. Therefore, consideration
should be given to increase the width of the paved asphalt driveway to 18 feet..." DDCDG does not want to increase
the amount of paving and is suggesting gravel which can be plowed/maintained.
Spot grades have been added to the tops of the berms to show emergency overflows.

As a Traffic Impact Report, Environmental Impact Report, and Community Impact Report were submitted this
evening, DDCDG verbally withdrew those three from the waivers listed above.
G. Bittner asked if the Board wanted the additional paving at the Massachusetts Avenue end of the driveway. It was
determined that DDCG will pave the first twenty/twenty-five feet (20-25') of the entrance and then blend it into the
gravel shoulder.
Signage will not be erected for No Parking near the Massachusetts Avenue end, but the Board will Condition no
parking with the stipulation that it can be enforced, if necessary, through future signage, pavement painting, etc.
There was Board discussion on whether or not to close the Hearing as the final Plan had not yet been submitted. As
part of the Decision, Board consensus was to Condition that all outstanding comments of the reviewing engineer
were addressed to his (reviewing engineer) satisfaction.
K. Chenis made motion to close the Hearing, seconded by M. Allison, all aye.
Hearing closed 8:09 PM.
