The Planning Board on Monday continued two hearings regarding a property on Maple Street Extension that includes a historic house in a 5-0 vote until the July 20 meeting.

Attorney George Connors represented the applicant, Nicholas D’Angelo. D’Angelo intends to build a house on the 12 Maple Street Extension lot. He is seeking a frontage waiver and a special permit to build on a lot with a historic structure from the board.

This parcel at the end of Maple Street Extension is about 40,000 square feet. It is located near the intersection of Pleasant and Maple streets in the vicinity of the town’s water towers, Connors noted.

The plan proposes to subdivide the parcel into two lots, Connors explained. One lot has the existing home that was built in 1838.

The Board of Appeals approved subdividing the lot last year “with literally no frontage” for the historic home, he added. The existing structure also has a shed in the back that violates the zoning code.

The Conservation Commission issued an order of conditions for this project on March 28. It also approved the revised site plan and planting plan on March 14. Wetlands are “surrounding the site,” according to Connors, which prompted the Conservation Commission’s input on the project.

Member Rob Benson asked about the lot’s current street frontage. Connors replied that it has 101 feet, meeting zoning requirements. Once the lot is subdivided, all the frontage on the Maple Street Extension side will be for the lot with the new home.

Member Brian Johnson asked if the lot with the historic home will be sold. Kathleen Elder interjected, noting that she and her husband own both lots and “there’s no intention to sell the lot.”

Resident Michael Shepard noted the Elder family’s history of town involvement as he spoke in support of the application.

Chair Matthew Wronka noted that a supermajority of six votes would be needed to approve the project. Only five members were in attendance. They included Wronka, Benson, Johnson, Amna Diwan and Parker Happ.

The lack of required members present for a supermajority vote “already puts us a little bit behind the ball,” said Wronka.

He also noted the difficulty in getting members to attend site walks. The board decided to schedule a tentative site walk on July 18 at 9 a.m.

Stone wall repair approved

A proposal to repair and reconstruct a stone wall at 24 Winter Street sailed through the approval process with a quick 5-0 vote.

Principal planner Aneri Patel explained that applicant Kristine Waldman intends to repair and rebuild the existing stone wall on the property. It is 80 feet long and 3 feet high. It had been damaged by an 18-wheeler truck.

The wall is located at the junction of Highland and Winter streets, added Patel. Winter Street is designated as a scenic road.

“Clearly my neighbors are supportive and would like to see it fixed,” Waldman told the board, stressing safety concerns. “The truck dismantled rock. Some of it’s still sitting in the road, and I just want to put it back.”

Original stones will be used where it is practical, and the new wall will look exactly like the old one, she added.

LNG facility hearings continued

Two hearings regarding stormwater and earth removal permits for the Eversource liquified natural gas facility at 55 Wilson Street were continued until July 20 at the request of Eversource, Wronka noted.

This 51.5-acre parcel is the site of three cryogenic storage tanks used for storing liquified natural gas.
