On November 30, 2017, Attorney Barbieri provided an overview of the project, past permitting history, and the recent

Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) Decision granted for the property. Attorney Barbieri stated that approximately 1,000sf of

the property was located within the 125 foot wetlands buffer and would require review by the Conservation

Commission. Attorney Barbieri also noted that currently approximately 7 percent of the site is classified as open space,

design and engineering), Mr. Mirva (architecture), Mr. Sobel, and Mr. Marotta presented project details regarding their

(DPW). Mr. MacDowell stated that DPW provided traffic information for the abutting roadways. Mr. MacDowell's

project team presented on traffic, architectural renderings, and other site designs.

On December 21, 2017, Mr. MacDowell provided the Planning Board with an overview of the updates made to the

project since the last public hearing. Mr. MacDowell requested that Mr. Kucich and Mr. Marotta provide an overview of

the site plan and architecture amendments made to the project.

Mr. Kucich stated that the site had approximately 23 percent (after amendments the project will include 30.1 percent

which was stated during a public hearing) ofthe total land area as green space. Mr. Kucich noted that recent

amendments to the site plan, which included infiltration basins for each building, resulted in an increase in open space

and infiltration, Mr. Marotta provided an overview of the revised architecture, the removal of the townhouses, the

addition of an amenities building, and other associated architectural improvements.

Mr. Marotta stated that the removal of the townhouses and the relocation of said residential units to the rear building

allowed for the construction of a 10,000sf amenities building. The new amenities building would include a fitness center,

the leasing office, a community room, theater room, and a patio area.

The Planning Board provided the following comments

Stephanie Mercandetti

o November 30, 2107: Ms, Mercandetti provided comments regarding the need to break up the massing and

utilization of step backs to break up the bulk of the project. It was noted that pedestrian connections are

plentiful throughout the site but need to connect the townhouses to the rest of the project. Ms. Mercandetti

requested clarification regarding snow storage. Ms. Mercandetti requested clarification regarding the locations

of the affordable units.

• Christin Long

o November 30, 2017: Ms. Long stated that the architectural renderings for the site needed to be revised and the

use of brick or stone should be incorporated and that the project should not look monotonous or like a

"stepford" housing project. Ms. Long noted several other developments that have made good use of materials

and architectural details to provide a more residential, unique look rather than a look of a subdivision. Ms. Long

requested a fiscal impact statement for the project. Ms. Long asked that the applicant work with the abutting

property owners, particularly the owner of the Wine Vault to ensure that access is provided to their sites and

cooperation and good will is extended to those abutters. Ms. Long requested for the removal of the bollards

between the Wine Vault property and 480 Franklin Street. Ms. Long requested that the Applicant look into how

to deal with access onto Mt Wayte to prevent traffic issues.

o December 7, 2017: Ms. Long stated the need for a traffic peer review consultant. Thomas Mahoney requested

that if the number were run with an ITE, then enough data would be provided to have a limited review. Justify

the use of the 2013 and 2017 numbers with a focus on the intersection at Franklin Street and Dudley Road.

Victor Ortiz questioned the queuing that would occur at the intersection and the distance before traffic would

blocl<the intersection on Dudley Road.

~ Lewis Colten

o November 30, 2017: Mr. Colten stated that just getting the site improved is much appreciated. Mr. Colten stated

his concern regarding the type of project, leaving people needing to get into a vehicle to get places and that the

project needed more commercial amenities. Mr. Colten stated that he liked the inclusion of the restaurant. Mr.

MacDowell stated that they didn't even want to include the restaurant since the retail market is constantly

changing. Mr. Colten stated that he would rather see a taller building design with more green space. Mr. Colten

made a comment regarding the materials and colors of the buildings, noting that they were devastating and that

some fenestration was used but needed a lot more work.

o Mr. Colten requested a break down in the unit count. Mr. MacDowell stated that there were 16 studios, 82 1-

bredrooms, 102 2-bedrooms, and 10 3-bedrooms, Mr. Colten requested the cost of the units. Mr. MacDowel)

stated that they would range from $1,400 to $2,800, Mr. Colten requested clarification regarding the traffic

relative to the project. Mr. MacDowell stated that residential traffic peals at different times rather than peaks

typical of retail traffic.

o On December 7, 2017: Discussion of placement of a crosswalk occurred. Lewis Colten stated that people would

walk anywhere, regardless of a formal crosswalk. Mr. Colten stated that the project needs to include a well-

defined crosswalk and pedestrian area. Ms, Long stated that people are going to walk where they want and did

not want to create avehicle/pedestrian conflict by placing a crosswalk in the middle of the parking lot. Mr.

MacDowell stated that it would be safer not to have the crosswalk across the parking lot.

o On December 21, 2017: Lewis Colten stated his appreciation for the amendments made to the architecture. Mr.

Colten requested clarification as to what would be located in the amenities building. Mr. MacDowell stated that

the amenities building would include the leasing office which would be staffed, a fitness center, club space,

dining area, and other things that are typically associated with a club. Mr. MacDowell further stated that

everything that was previously located in the amenities area next to the pool has been relocated to the new

amenities building. Mr. Colten reviewed the textures of the residential building.

• Victor Ortiz

o November 30, 2017: Mr. Ortiz stated that safety was his main concern. Mr. Ortiz requested clarification as to

how pedestrians would travel between the two properties. Mr. Ortiz questioned if the underground parking met

all the safety codes, Mr. MacDowell stated that they did. Mr. Ortiz requested clarification regarding the

circulation of the site and the use of the underground parking. Mr. Ortiz stated his concern regarding access to

the site from Mt Wayte.

• Thomas Mahoney

o November 30, 2017: Mr. Mahoney questioned if the Applicant was amendable to including a "Do Not Block the

Box" in front of the property entrance on Mt. Wayte. Mr. Mahoney questioned about the deactivation of the rail

line and it they would be amenable of it being a rail trail and give access to the tenants. Mr. MacDowell stated

that a condition could be put into the decision. Mr. Mahoney thanked the Applicant for the additional green

space. Mr. Mahoney requested that the Applicant consider warm mix asphalt for the project.

On November 30, 2017, December 7, 2017, December 21, 2017, and January 11, 2018 the Planning Board

opened the floor for public comment. Public comments were made on November 30, 2017, December 7, 2017,

December 21, 2017, and January 11, 2018. Public comments can be found in the Planning Board minutes for the

FINDINGS

Having reviewed the application, plans, and reports filed by the Applicant and its representatives; having

considered the correspondence from the Department of Public Works (DPW), Inspectional Services (Building

Department), the Fire Department, the Police Department, the Division of Community &Economic

Development, the Conservation Commission, the Board of Health, and comments received during the TRT

Meeting and the public hearing process, the Planning Board makes the following findings:

1. Major Site Plan Review (Section VI.F of the Framingham Zoning By-Law)

a. Retain Community Character (Section VI.F.6.a)

The proposed Project is consistent with the land use goals for residential use in thenearby Central Business District, as well as the Project Review Guidelines and DesignStandards discussed previously.

b. Traffic, parking, and public access (Section VI.F.6.b)

i. The existing transportation infrastructure can accommodate the Project in a safe andefficient manner. The Project will provide adequate vehicle and pedestrian access andwill not require any on-street parking as there is adequate off-street parking. Threeexisting curb cuts will be eliminated. The Project will result in a significant decrease inthe volume of traffic as compared to a commercial use of the site.

ii. The Planning Board's Peer Review Consultant (WSP) reviewed the project for traffic,

WPS states in their Traffic Engineering Peer Review of Proposed Redevelopment (datedJanuary 11, 2018) report,

1) "As indicated, based on the trip generation and slightly different commutingpatterns for residential use versus retail use, WSP recommends a spot analysisof the weekday AM peak hour operations at the intersection of Franklin Streetat Mt. Wayte Avenue. The proponent has provided additional analysis verifyingthat the off site location with the most significant project impact will operate aswell as was previously estimated (LOS D) during the AM peak hour."

2) "The 2017 TIAS provides a comparison of the total number of trips expected tobe generated by the proposed project and WSP concurs that the total numberof trips will be less than was previously proposed for the site during theweekday PM and Saturday peak hours. In addition, during the weekday PM andSaturday peak hours, the proposed development will generate fewer trips thanwere visiting the site during the 2013 traffic counts."

iii. In accordance with Section VI.F.6.b.5) of the Framingham Zoning Ordinance, theApplicant shall mitigate all derogations in Level of Service (LOS) caused by the projectthrough traffic improvements or a cash payment for mitigation procedures. TheApplicant has agreed to donate a contribution of $25,000 to the City to be held by thePlanning Board for the sole purpose and use of constructing the multi-use pathwayalong Mt Wayte Avenue. Such contribution will provide funding for makingimprovements that will connect the project to Cushing Parl</Loring Arena/KeefeTechnology School and Bowditch Field.

iv. The project has requested a decrease in the required number ofoff-street pari<ingspaces, pursuant to Section IV,B of the Framingham Zoning By-Law.

1) The project requires 445 off-street parking spaces for the development (two off-street parking spaces per unit and one off-street parking space for every threeseats of the restaurant, in addition to one off-street parking space for every twoemployees of the restaurant).

2) The project has been designed to provide 354 off-street parking spaces for the210 residential units (1.7 off-street parking spaces per unit).

3) The project includes 25 off-street parking spaces for the 60 seat restaurant uses.

4) The total project will include 379 off-street parking spaces.

~ v. The Planning Board's Peer Review Consultant (WSP) reviewed the proposed off-street

parking. WPS states in their Traffic Engineering Peer Review of ProposedRedevelopment (dated January 11, 2018) report,

1) "The site has proposed 357 parking spaces, significantly higher than required as

calculated in the 2017 TIAS. WSP verified the calculation for peak parkingdemand for the residential portion of the development and agrees that the

residential portion of the development will provide more parking than isnecessary"

2) "the peak parking demand of the 2,800 square foot, 60 seat high turnover

restaurant. Based on ITE's Parking Generation, the peak parking demand for the

restaurant will be 40 spaces which is higher than the 25 spaces provided. Overall

the parking supply on site will be adequate."

vi. The off-street parking demand indicates that there is overall off-street parking capacity

on-site, if a reduction in the required number ofoff-street parking spaces was granted.

However, to ensure the separation of the commercial vs. residential uses, the Applicant

agrees to provide designated off-street parking signage for the commercial use during

specific times of peak use.

vii. The Applicant is installing five bicycle racks that accommodate 34 bicycle racks for the

residential component and two bicycle racks that accommodate 10 bicycles for the

restaurant use.

viii. In accordance with Section VI.F.5.c,1) of the Framingham Zoning By-Law, the Applicant

sidewalk along Mt Wayte from the new sidewalk at the intersection of Mt Wayte-Franklin Street up to the new sidewalk at the railroad bridge on Mt Wayte.

c. Environmental Impact (Section VI.F.6.c)

The proposed stormwater management system will meet the criteria set forth in the

Mass. DEP Stormwater Technical Handbook. The Project has reduced the peak rate of

runoff, volume of runoff and will improve the water quality and quantity leaving the site

with the use of Best Management Practices.

d. Health (Section VI.F.6.d)

The Project has been designed to minimize adverse air-quality impact, noise, glare andodors.

e. Public services and utilities (Section VI.F.6.e)

D

City of Framingham's Department of Public Worl<s, the municipal services systemsurrounding the site will adequately service the site.

iii. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of theproposed use, including adequate off-street parking. The proposed Project will provideadequate access and includes off-street parking at grade and below grade, totalingthree hundred fifty-three (353) parking spaces. Utility services, stormwatermanagement and landscaping are also provided as required.

f. Land Use Planning (Section VI.F.6.f)

i. The proposed Project is consistent with the land use goals of the nearby Central

Business Zoning District, as well as the guidelines outlined in the Planning Board's

Framingham Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 5 February 21, 2029

regarding the intersection and related traffic improvements for the Nobscot area

from Eric Johnson, City Engineer for the City of Framingham.

Mr. Johnson provided a review of the intersection of Water Street, Edgell Road, and

Edmands Road. Mr. Johnson stated that two of the intersection sides have a very

tight turning radius and two of the intersection sides are very wide. Mr. Johnson

reviewed the widths and noted that the roadways are being modeled so that it will

be constructed correctly. Mr. Johnson further stated that it is necessary to move the

Chapel on the corner in order to perform the work since site lines are obstructed

currently with the building being located on the corner which results in a "no turn on

red" at the intersection today. With the intersection improvements due to the

relocation of the Chapel, the plan would then be to allow a right turn lane on red at

the intersection.

Mr. Johnson reviewed the funding for the intersection improvements which

included the requested funding from both the City and the State. During the

presentation Mr. Johnson stated that the project will cost approximately $3.5 million

dollars and it will be necessary for funding to be supplemented with mitigation

monies since there is a shortfall. Therefore, DPW will be requesting mitigation

monies in the future to help fund the indicated traffic improvements.

Ms. Long requested comments from the Planning Board. The following comments

were provided:

• Joseph Norton requested further details of the intersection construction and

planned improvements.

• Lewis Colten requested clarification regarding light levels and what type of

lighting would be used, and possible right turn on red onto Water Street.

• Shannon Fitzpatrick had no comments at this time.

• Christine Long asked what the expected cost of the project would be, how many

land takings are involved, and if the cost of those takings is part of the expected

cost. Ms. Long asked for clarification on State funding for the project and the

timeline involved.

Ms. Long opened the floor for public comment. No public comments were provided.

Ms. Long thanked Mr. Johnson for the presentation.

Ms. Long continued the public hearings to Thursday, March 7, 2019, at 7:OOpm.

III. Any Other BusinessChristine Long, Chair, stated that the Planning Board recently received the required $25,000

pursuant to the conditions of the Planning Board's Decision for the project at 480 Franklin

Street. Ms. Long stated that the Planning Board voted to allocate those monies to the DPW

on January 11, 2018 and therefore would be sending a request to the City Council to

appropriate the funds for use by the Department of Public Works (DPW).
