Burney Absent: Kenneth Chenis ANR Plan: 205 Sunset Lane - Plan presented on behalf of owner Salvatore Vito Piccirillo, Revocable Living Trust, by Neil Gorman, David E. Ross Associates. The Planning Board endorsed an ANR Plan in 2015 di viding the land owned by the Trust into Lots 1 and 2. This ANR Plan divides Lot 2 into 2A and 2B. P. Bertram questioned the access. N. Gorman noted i t is possible to access Lot 2A from Sunset Lane , but the design has not yet been finalized. This Plan d oes meet the requirements of an ANR Plan. P. Bertram noted comments of the Building Commissioner that Lot 2A does not have frontage, i.e. actual access, as defined in the Code of Lunenburg, Ch. 250- Section 2.1. There is also a driveway and utility easem ent through Lot 2B, and if used as a common drive, does not meet the de sign standards in the Code of Lunenburg, Ch. 250- Section 6.4.C(5)k. A. Burney noted that i f the driveway comes from Robbs Hill Road, it may require relief from the Zoning Board of App eals. An ANR Plan does not constitute buildability. Comments from the Board of Health were also noted that for the lots to be buildable, the property owner would have to obtain an approved sewage disposal system and potable water supply for each lot. P. Bertram noted she was not comfortable endorsing the Plan as it states Lot 2B would provide the driveway and utility easement for Lot 2A. She requested that language be removed. A. Burney stressed that the 21 -day clock begins with the Plan’s submittal t his evening. The Board will have to take action, e.g. deny the plan, within th e 21 days. N. Gorman will consult with the property owner. P. Bertram made Motion to continue the ANR to the next Board meeting, T. Cole Seconded, all aye. 909 Massachusetts Avenue, Waiver Request - Property owner John Kyprianos requested waiver from site plan approval for change of use from a consignment shop to a real estate office. The square footage for his office will be ~1,200; less than t he previous consignment shop at ~5,000. Changing from retail to professional use is a permitted use in the Village Center District. P. Bertram asked if the Board should pla ce any conditions on the waiver to ensure it is in line with the information supplied in the request. There is a larger room next to the proposed office and s he suggested the waiver approval should include more square footage in the event J. Kyprianos wanted to expand his office space.

Bertram noted that he if wants to expand the space in the future, he would have to appear before the Board . P.
