RE: Items on Planning Board Agenda, January 28, 2019
1. Continued Public Hearings – Bucklin St. & Leonard St. – 1) Stormwater Management
Permit; 2) Petition to Construct a Paper Street – Wall Street Development Corp.
An application for a stormwater management permit (SMP) was submitted to the Board
on 11/1/18. A decision is due by 2/11/19 and a majority vote is required for approval. All
members are eligible to vote.
A petition to construct a paper street was submitted to the Board on 7/25/18. The decision
deadline was extended at the last hearing to 2/11/19. A majority vote is required for
approval and all members are eligible to vote.
Project: Proposal to construct a paper street entitled “Bucklin Street”; Proposal to construct 4
single family homes with driveways, utilities and associated grading. A SMP is required because
the project will result in a land disturbance of one acre or more and it is not a “subdivision”.
No additional materials have been submitted since the last hearing.
Way in Existence: At this meeting, the Board wanted to focus on whether Bucklin Street was a
“way in existence” in 1953. The submitted plans show the proposed lots having the required
frontage on Bucklin Street and Leonard Street. However, because the proposed driveways for the
lots connect only to Bucklin Street, under the definition of “lot frontage” in the Hopkinton
Zoning Bylaws, the Applicant cannot rely on Leonard Street for the frontage and therefore must
demonstrate that Bucklin Street provides the required frontage. In order for the lots to be
approved under c. 41, §81P (ANR), the applicant would have to show that Bucklin Street is 1) a
public way, 2) a way shown on an approved subdivision plan, or 3) a way that was in existence
at the time that the Subdivision Control Law went into effect in Hopkinton (1953) and that, when
the ANR plan is submitted, has “sufficient width, suitable grades and adequate construction to
provide for vehicular traffic.” The applicant’s representative does not claim that Bucklin Street,
which is covered by vegetation, is currently a way in existence. However, he has provided
information to support Bucklin St. as being a way in existence in 1953 (including historic aerials
and documentation of utility poles) and Town Counsel believes the factual question regarding
the status of Bucklin Street in 1953 is a matter for determination by the Planning Board. The
Planning Board will have to make this determination if and when the applicant submits an ANR
plan for endorsement. Alternatively, Town Counsel has opined that the Planning Board may
choose to make the determination as part of the roadway petition proceeding, if requested by the
2
Applicant. The Applicant has formally requested that the Board make a determination on the
way in existence.
Materials: The materials in the packet have all been provided to the Board before. The
following large documents can be accessed via the links below.

Petition Process: The Applicant’s representative and Town Counsel have been in discussion
about the status of Bucklin Street, whether the proposed subdivision will qualify for “Approval
Not Required” endorsement, and how to approach reviewing the work needed to build out
Bucklin Street and install utilities, as approval of roadway design is not part of the Stormwater
Management Permit application review. As a result of these discussions, the Applicant has
submitted a petition under the provision of M.G.L. c. 41, sec. 81FF for approval of the
construction of Bucklin Street. In summary, c. 41, §81FF serves to protect lots, shown on a
recorded plan, that were sold off and in existence prior to the Subdivision Control Law (1953)
from having to comply with subdivision regulations.
Town Counsel agrees that §81FF appears to apply to the subject parcel. However, there
are two important caveats: First, case law has clearly established that planning boards have the
authority to review and impose conditions on construction of roads and utilities associated with
lots protected by §81FF. In the past, the Hopkinton Planning Board has required applicants
claiming the §81FF exemption to petition for Planning Board approval of the roadway and
utilities associated with the grandfathered lot. (The Applicant has now done so, consistent with
the Planning Board’s past practice.) Second, the c. 41 §81FF exemption would be applicable to
only the existing lot on Bucklin Street. Subdivision of that lot is fully subject to the Subdivision
Control Law. If the applicant were to obtain approval of the roadway pursuant to c. 41 §81FF,
endorsement of an ANR plan by the Board (or approval of a definitive subdivision plan) would
still be required in order to divide the existing lot.
Ownership of Bucklin Street: Town Counsel believes that the Applicant has made a sufficiently
credible claim of ownership rights in Bucklin Street for the purpose of the roadway petition.
Town Counsel notes that an approval by the Planning Board does not adjudicate property rights,
and that the abutters may choose to contest the Applicant’s rights. Any property rights dispute
would be a private matter between the parties, not involving the Town.
Stormwater Management Criteria:
The project is subject to the Stormwater Management Standards in General Bylaws Chapter 172.
The following are the 10 standards, what is proposed, and BETA’s comments to date.

1. Determination as to whether Bucklin St. was a way in existence in 1953, for the purposes of
ANR endorsement.
2. Vote on the petition relative to the design and construction of Bucklin St., approving or
disapproving the submitted plans. Approval may be with conditions. Include votes on
waiver requests.
3. Vote on the application for a Stormwater Management Permit.

4. Scenic Road Public Hearing – 52 Spring Street – Neal
An application requesting a Scenic Road permit from the Board has been submitted. A decision
is due 21 days from date of the hearing and a majority vote is required for approval. The
application requests a 15 ft. wide opening in the stone wall for a new driveway. The owners plan
to demolish an existing barn and garage and add an attached garage to the house which would be
oriented to the side and not to the front. The new entrance would accommodate the new garage
orientation. The applicants propose to use the stones to close up an existing driveway opening.
The criteria for granting a scenic road permit is below (§160-6 of the General Bylaws).
The Planning Board’s decision on any application for proposed work affecting scenic roads
shall be based on consideration of the following criteria:
A. The degree to which the proposed work would adversely affect the scenic and aesthetic
values upon which the scenic road designation was originally based.
B. The necessity for the proposed work in terms of public safety, welfare, or convenience.
C. Compensatory action proposed, such as replacement of trees or walls.
D. Availability of reasonable alternatives to the proposed work which could reduce or
eliminate anticipated damage to trees or stone walls.
E. Whether the proposed work would compromise or harm other environmental or historical
values.
F. Consistency of the proposed work with previously adopted Town plans and policies.
The Board may impose conditions on its approval, including the manner of construction of the
relocated wall.
5. Traffic Signal – East Main St./Legacy Farms North and South Intersection
Condition #54 of the Master Plan Special Permit (MPSP) for Legacy Farms is as follows:
54. As part of each application for Site Plan Review, the Applicant shall submit, in a format
acceptable to the Planning Board, current data from the traffic monitoring plan described in the
Application and a warrant analysis for a traffic signal at the intersection of Legacy Farms Road
Creation of Lot Lines
•Determination of way in existence in 1953 in order for
ANR Plan to be endorsed.
Design and Construction of Road
•Petition to approve design and construction
details. Apply Subdivision Regulations to the
extent practicable.
Stormwater Management Permit
•Act on application for SMP.
6
(North and South) and East Main Street (Route 135); provided, however, that the Applicant shall not
be required to submit such information more often than once in a calendar year.
The most recent data was submitted to the Board with the Site Plan Review application for The
Trails at Legacy Farms. In the Board’s 2018 decision, it included condition #31 as follows:
31. A traffic signal warrant analysis was conducted by the Applicant pursuant to MPSP Condition
#54. After review of the analysis, the Board’s consultant recommended that another traffic
monitoring assessment and warrant analysis be conducted in 6 months, because the warrant is close to
being met and due to the ongoing fast pace of residential development off Legacy Farms North.
Therefore, the Applicant shall conduct another assessment in October, 2018, the results of which shall
be submitted to the Board and peer-reviewed by the Board’s consultant.
The additional data was collected after the 6 months and analyzed by VHB, the developer’s
consultant, which submitted a report. The report did not recommend the installation of a traffic
signal at this time. BETA conducted a peer review and disagrees, recommending that the signal
be installed. Both reports are included in the meeting packet. Representatives of Legacy Farms
and BETA will be present to discuss the matter. If the Board determines that the signal should
be installed, MPSP conditions #55 and 56 address what happens next:
55. If, pursuant to any Site Plan Approval, the Planning Board finds that a traffic signal
at the intersection of Legacy Farms Road (North and South) and East Main Street (Route
135) is warranted, the Applicant shall have six (6) months to complete such signalization
to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works; provided, however, that the
Planning Board shall grant an extension of up to six (6) additional months to complete
such signalization if it determines that, despite diligent efforts, the Applicant is unable to
complete work during the initial six (6) month period.
56. Concurrent with the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Legacy Farms
Road and East Main Street (Route 135), the Applicant shall install a sign or signs, to be
approved by the Planning Board, at the intersection of Clinton Street and Legacy Farms
Road (South), directing traffic to Route 135 West via Legacy Farms Road (South).
6. 2019 Annual Town Meeting Articles
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendments - Zoning Advisory Committee
At its meeting on Jan. 22, the Zoning Advisory Committee voted to recommend two
amendments to the Open Space Mixed Use Development (OSMUD) Overlay District, which
covers Legacy Farms. The May, 2019 annual town meeting warrant is now open, and closes on
February 5. I brought the proposed changes to the ZAC, which were in response to a few items
that have come up over the last year. Both amendments are to Section 210-166, Intensity of
Uses.
The first change relates to the Heritage Properties age-restricted development project now under
construction off Legacy Farms North, adjacent to Wilson Street. When the bylaw was amended
in 2015 to allow the 180-unit age-restricted component in the place of a commercial
development, the master developer, in response to concerns expressed by the Town, proposed
language which states in the bylaw that “no child under the age of 18 may be a resident in any
7
such Dwelling Unit”. This language is fine, but a problem has arisen because 18 of the 180 units
must be affordable (§210-167.C), and in order for the units to count as affordable on the State’s
Subsidized Housing Inventory, they must be approved by the Dept. of Housing and Community
Development (DHCD). DHCD will not approve the units if the zoning, condominium
documents and other restrictions prohibit children. However, they will approve age-restricted
units as affordable as long as the restrictions state that one resident of the unit must be 55 or over
– and this is actually consistent with the definition of “Senior Housing Development” elsewhere
in the OSMUD. So the Town has at least 2 choices – 1) change the zoning bylaw to remove the
requirement for affordable units, or 2) change the zoning bylaw to replace the objectionable
phrase with an acceptable restriction. If the Town does nothing, the developer will be in
violation of the zoning bylaw (at a minimum) because the affordable housing units can’t be
provided. So while there may be the desire to do something else, the zoning bylaw needs to be
amended in some manner.
I presented the ZAC with language that would remove the objectionable phrase and replace it
with one that is consistent with the definition of Senior Housing Development already in the
bylaw. It doesn’t change the intent, which is that the project is age-restricted, but the extra
language that would guarantee it would be removed. The Town’s desire to remain above the
10% affordable housing goal is extremely important, and it will not be possible without new
units coming online as the residential growth already underway continues. Therefore, I
recommend an option where affordable units can be created within the development itself.
While there might be an option where a developer can donate money to the Town to create units
in the future, those would be 18 additional units that didn’t exist before, and it doesn’t help the
overall percentage.
The ZAC voted to recommend the modification to the first paragraph of §210-166.A, which has
also been reviewed by Town Counsel, as follows:
A. Dwelling Uses within the OSMUD District shall be limited to 940 new Dwelling Units
constructed after May 5, 2008, plus 180 Dwelling Units in Senior Housing Developments
constructed after May 4, 2015, provided, however, that the owner or owners of any such
additional Dwelling Unit in Senior Housing Developments shall require, through deed
restrictions, condominium documents, leases, rental agreements or other appropriate
instruments, the form and adequacy of which has been approved by the Planning Board,
that no child under the age of 18 may be a resident in any such at least one resident of
every Dwelling Unit be 55 years of age or older. No more than 50 of the 1120 new
Dwelling Units so constructed may be single-family dwellings, and the remainder shall be
multi-family dwellings, including attached dwellings, garden apartments, units in mixed-use
buildings and Senior Housing Developments.
The second change would address an issue raised by the owners of Fairview Estates, the
retirement community on East Main St. When the facility was under construction, it was
determined by the Town that the on-site apartments for live-in managers would count toward the
total number of dwelling units allowed in Legacy Farms if they were constructed to function as
separate dwelling units. Therefore, the two units were constructed without kitchens. The owners
have been operating the facility for a few years, and it has been difficult to attract and retain the
8
live-in managers because they do not have a full apartment in which to live. The apartment is
their residence. They are not tenants in the sense that the other residents are, who pay rent that
includes meals, transportation, housekeeping, etc. They are employees who are responsible for
facility and resident management, and they must live on-site.
A change to the zoning bylaw appears to be the only way that the desired result can be
accomplished, and the proposed language would exempt the units from the dwelling unit cap.
The ZAC reviewed draft language at its meeting, and voted to recommend that the following
new paragraph be added to the end of §210-166.A as follows:
No on-site apartment which provides a permanent live-in residence for 24-hour on-site
responsible staff of a Continuing Care Retirement Community or Assisted Living Facility
shall be deemed a Dwelling Unit for the purposes of this Intensity of Use limitation, provided
that such apartment is located within the Facility, one occupant of the apartment is a full-
time employee of the Facility, and that there shall be no more than two such apartments per
Community/Facility.
The request is that the Board submit these amendments into the ATM warrant, with the Board’s
specific recommendations to be made after the public hearing.
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
It is possible that there may be another proposed change to the OSMUD, which would be coming
from Town Counsel in advance of the Planning Board meeting.
Street Acceptance
It is my understanding that the Board has discussed recommending Hunters Ridge Way and
Penny Meadow Lane for acceptance as public ways. In both cases, as built/street acceptance
plans and draft deeds have been submitted to the Town. If the Board proposes acceptance, then
it should vote to submit an article into the warrant for that purpose.
Other Articles
Are there any other articles that the Board would like to submit?

Special Condition #54
2018 Signal Warrant Analysis
On behalf of our Client (Heritage Properties), VHB, Inc has conducted a signal warrant assessment for the Legacy
Farms project, located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. This signal warrant is required by the Town of Hopkinton’s
Planning Board as a follow-up to the traffic monitoring assessment conducted by VHB in the spring 2018. Specifically,
the Board noted the following:
A traffic signal warrant analysis was conducted by the Applicant pursuant to the MPSP Condition #54. After
review of the analysis, the Board’s consultant recommended that another traffic monitoring assessment and
warrant analysis be conducted in 6 months, because the warrant is close to being met and due to the ongoing
fast pace of residential development off Legacy Farms North. Therefore, the Applicant shall conduct another
assessment in October, 2018, the results of which shall be submitted to the Board and peer reviewed by the
Board’s consultant.
The results of the signal warrant analysis are presented in this memorandum and are submitted to the City Traffic
Engineer for review and commentary.
2018 Traffic Volumes
Traffic movement data for the study area were collected for VHB in November 2018. As part of this effort, manual
turning movement and classification (TMC) counts were conducted at the study area intersections during a weekday
from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on November 8, 2018.
A comparison of November 2018 traffic volumes and the February 2018 traffic volumes at the intersection of E Main
Street at Legacy Farms Road North / Legacy Farms Road South was conducted. The weekday morning and evening
peak periods were collected during both counts, and the overall intersection volumes for each hour was compared.
The results are provided in Table 1.

As shown in Table 1, when comparing the November 2018 volumes to the February 2018 volumes, the November
volumes are between 1- and 6-percent higher than the February volumes.
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
Consideration of a potential traffic signal has been given to the intersection of East Main Street at Legacy Farms South
Drive. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)1 lists specific criteria, or warrants, for the consideration
of installation of a traffic signal at an intersection. The MUTCD also notes that, “the satisfaction of a traffic signal
warrant or warrants shall not, in itself, require the installation of a traffic control signal.” However, failure to meet at
least one of the traffic signal warrants precludes the installation of a traffic signal at a given location. The traffic signal
warrant analysis provides guidance as to locations where signals would not be appropriate and locations where they
could be considered further.
VHB performed a traffic signal warrant analysis at the unsignalized intersection of E Main Street at Legacy Farms Road
North / Legacy Farms Road for the following warrants:
Warrant 1, 8-Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 2, 4-Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 3, Peak Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 4, Pedestrian Volume
Vehicular Volume Warrants
A traffic signal warrant analysis was performed of the volume-based eight-hour (Warrant 1), four-hour warrant
(Warrant 2) and the peak hour warrant (Warrant 3) using existing November 2018 volumes.

Based on the speed data collected by the ATR along East Main Street in February 2018, the 85th percentile speed is
45mph and 46mph in the eastbound and westbound direction, respectively. An 85th percentile speed on a major
street which exceeds 40mph triggers the use of the 70% volume for Warrants 1 and 2. As such, the 70% volume
warrants were utilized for Warrants 1 and 2.
The location does not meet Warrants 1 and 2 based on existing vehicular volumes but does meet Warrant 3 (peak
hour warrant) for two hours of the morning, as shown in Table 1. The signal warrant analyses are included in the
Appendix to this document.
Pedestrian Volume Warrants
A traffic signal warrant analysis was performed for the pedestrian volume-based peak hour warrant (Warrant 4) for the
November 2018 existing hourly vehicular and pedestrian volumes. There are very few pedestrian volumes at this
location and therefore, the traffic signal warrants based on pedestrian volumes is not met. The signal warrant analyses
are included in the Appendix to this document.

As shown in Table 2, the eight-hour (Warrant 1), four-hour (Warrant 2) and pedestrian (Warrant 4) warrants have not
been met based on the November 2018 observed volumes at the intersection. The peak hour (Warrant 3) warrant has
been met for two hours of the day.
The MUTCD states that the “peak hour signal warrant is intended for use at a location where traffic conditions are such
that for a minimum of 1 hour of an average day, the minor-street traffic suffers undue delay when entering or crossing
the major street.” The MUTCD goes on to explain that “this signal warrant shall be applied only in unusual cases, such
as office complexes, manufacturing plants, industrial complexes, or high-occupancy vehicle facilities that attract or
discharge large numbers of vehicles over a short time.” Given the standards provided in the MUTCD, a signal should not
be installed at this location to accommodate just two hours of the day.

Conclusions
This memorandum has been prepared for the Town of Hopkinton’s Planning Board on behalf of Legacy Farms LLC to
fulfill Special Condition #54. It provides an updated signal warrant analysis for the intersection of E Main Street at
Legacy Farms Road North and Legacy Farms Road South.
As part of this assessment, VHB collected new traffic volumes in November 2018 during a typical weekday. These
volumes, when compared to traffic counts conducted at the same location back in February 2018, demonstrate a
slight increase in overall traffic volume, but not a substantial increase. Visual observations at the intersection noted
minor delays on the side streets which should be considered typical for side streets on arterial roadways during peak
hour conditions. During off-peak hours, traffic delays were observed to be minimal and would not be well served by
the installation of a traffic signal.
Based on the newly collected volumes, it is VHBs recommendation that a traffic signal not be introduced at this
location at this time. This recommendation is based on the findings of the Traffic Signal assessment which follow the
process and procedures outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. In almost all cases, the need for a
traffic signal does not meet the prescribed warrants outlined in the manual. In the one case where the volumes do
meet the warrant, the MUTCD suggests that the installation of a traffic signal should only be considered for unique
situations, which this is not one of.

Attn: Ms. Elaine Lazarus, Director of Land Use and Town Operations
Re: Legacy Farms: Special Condition #54 – 2018 Signal Warrant Analysis Review
Dear Ms. Lazarus:
BETA Group, Inc. (BETA) has reviewed the traffic signal warrant assessment of the Legacy Farms project
in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. This traffic signal warrant assessment is required by the Town of
Hopkinton’s Planning Board (the Board) as part of a traffic monitoring assessment as noted in Special
Condition #54.
BASIS OF REVIEW
The following document was received by BETA and formed the basis of the review:
•Legacy Farms Special Condition #54 2018 Signal Warrant Analysis Memorandum, dated
November 27, 2018 by VHB, Inc. (VHB) of Watertown, MA
BETA reviewed this project previously and provided traffic review comments letters to the Board dated
April 10, 2018 and April 23, 2018. Please refer to those documents for further information.
2018 TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Turning Movement Counts were collected at the intersection of East Main Street at Legacy Farms Road
North and Legacy Farms Road South on Thursday, November 8, 2018 from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. VHB
found the November data to be 1-6% higher than seasonally adjusted data collected in February 2018 at
the same intersection. BETA finds the data collection to be appropriate.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS
A traffic signal warrant was evaluated for the intersection based on the volume data collected in
November 2018. The following warrants were evaluated: Warrant 1 – 8-Hour Vehicular Volume;
Warrant 2 – 4-Hour Vehicular Volume; Warrant 3 – Peak Hour Vehicular Volume; and Warrant 4 –
Pedestrian Volume. BETA finds the evaluation of these four warrants to be applicable for this location.
It was noted that vehicle speeds collected in February 2018 represent 85th percentile speeds of
approximately 45 miles per hour (mph). Speeds of greater than 40 mph trigger the use of a 70%
threshold for Warrant 1, Warrant 2, and Warrant 3. BETA concurs with this statement.
Based on the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis and Calculation Sheets provided in the Memorandum and
its Appendix, VHB determined that the intersection only satisfies Warrant 3 – Peak Hour Vehicular
Town of Hopkinton, Planning Board
January 8, 2019
Page 2 of 2
Volume. Based on this result, a traffic signal was not recommended for installation. BETA has provided
the following comments:
T1.The traffic signal warrant should utilize vehicular volume for both minor street approaches. The
warrant evaluated in the Appendix only examines volume for the northbound Legacy Farms
Road South approach which is lower (for most of the period) than the southbound Legacy Farms
Road North approach. See Paragraph 04 in Section 4C.02 and Paragraph 02 in Section 4C.03 of
the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) which states, “On the minor street, the
higher volume shall not be required to be on the same approach during each of these 8(4)
hours.”
T2.Paragraph 09 in Section 4C.01 of the MUTCD discusses Guidance for intersection approaches
with left turn or right turn lanes. The paragraph suggests that approaches with a left turn or
right turn lane be evaluated as a single lane approach unless the turning volume is greater than
50% of the total approach volume and sufficient storage is provided for the lane. Based on the
November 2018 turning volumes, BETA suggests these approaches be evaluated as Single Lane
approaches.
T3.BETA evaluated the traffic signal warrant with methodology noted in Comment T1 and
Comment T2, and found the intersection to satisfy Warrant 1B (70%) for 10 Hours, Warrant 2
(70%), and Warrant 3 (70%).
T4.BETA concurs that the observed pedestrian volume in November 2018 does not satisfy
Warrant 4.
As a result of the traffic signal warrant evaluation and the higher than 40 mph speeds along Route 135,
BETA recommends the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of East Main Street (Route 135)
at Legacy Farms Road North and Legacy Farms Road South.

Neither the dwellings located at 80, 82, 83 nor 90 East Main Street or 26 Clinton Street, nor
the Group Home located at 44 Wilson Street, all of which were in existence as of the
effective date of this Article, shall be deemed to be a Dwelling Unit for the purposes of this
Intensity of Use limitation. However, in the event that any such dwelling is converted to or
reconstructed as a multi-family dwelling use, the resulting number of Dwelling Units in
excess of one (1) on any such property shall be counted towards the Intensity of Use
limitation.
No Accessory Family Dwelling Unit for which the Board of Appeals grants a Special Permit
pursuant to § 210-126 shall be deemed to be a separate Dwelling Unit for purposes of this
Intensity of Use limitation.
No on-site apartment which provides a permanent live-in residence for 24-hour on-site
responsible staff of a Continuing Care Retirement Community or Assisted Living Facility
shall be deemed a Dwelling Unit for the purposes of this Intensity of Use limitation, provided
that such apartment is located within the Facility, one occupant of the apartment is a full-time
employee of the Facility and that there shall be no more than two such apartments per

Floor Area in the aggregate. No single building within the VC Subdistrict shall
exceed 25,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area except for a single building which may
contain up to 38,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Planning Board may, by Special Permit, approve a single
building in the VC Subdistrict which may contain up to 45,000 square feet of Gross Floor
Area. The following shall be excluded from the calculation of Gross Floor Area for
purposes of this Intensity of Use limitation: (i) The building at 83 East Main Street, in

through 23 is no longer in effect, or (ii) the rules, regulations or guidelines of the
Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development issued pursuant to
M.G.L. c. 40B, §§ 20 through 23 no longer provide that all of the units in a rental
development that contains at least 25% affordable housing units are eligible for inclusion on

any lot outside the OSMUD District used for residential purposes at the time of Site Plan
Review application. Such setback area shall be left undeveloped but landscaped; provided,
however, that such setback area may contain access ways and parking areas, if screening of
such parking areas is provided in a manner approved by the Planning Board. The Master Plan
Special Permit may authorize the Planning Board to approve, pursuant to § 210-173, a
setback of a lesser width than is set forth in this Subsection upon a finding that such a lesser
setback is sufficient to screen and/or separate the building from the lot outside of the
OSMUD District. This Subsection shall not be deemed to require a minimum setback from
lots that are located across any street or right of way from the OSMUD District boundary.
§ 210-169. Parking

Planning Board, by Special Permit may approve shared parking facilities, designed and
intended to serve more than a single use shown on a Site Plan, in satisfaction of the
applicable minimum parking requirements of § 210- 124(B) (1), as modified by this Section.
D. The Planning Board may, by Special Permit, approve an amount of parking less than
applicable minimum parking requirements of § 210- 124(B) (1), as modified by this Section,

be formalized in an instrument that runs with the land and is recorded at the Registry of
Deeds;
(2) A requirement that adequate space shall be set aside within the Development Project to
construct additional parking spaces in the future should the mix of uses and peak
demand times change and require additional parking.
§ 210-170. Restricted Land
A. Restricted Land may be used for active and passive recreation, conservation, forestry,
agriculture, natural buffers, underground utilities, municipal purposes and other similar
purposes necessary for the convenience and enjoyment of the OSMUD District or the Town,
as well as other purposes customarily associated with a use authorized by this Subsection.
B. The Planning Board shall not issue a Master Plan Special Permit pursuant to §210-172 unless

owners have not made such additional land as is required to achieve the 500-acre total
subject to Restricted Land Covenants within 60 days of the expiration of such period, the
Planning Board may designate one or more parcels as are required to achieve such 500-acre
total, and such parcels shall forthwith be made subject to a Restricted Land Covenant by the
owner or owners thereof. The Planning Board shall have the authority to extend such
deadline to a later date upon a finding that the holder or holders of the Master Plan Special
Permit are continuing to pursue development of the OSMUD District and have not yet
achieved substantial completion notwithstanding good faith efforts. The foregoing obligation
shall be binding and enforceable pursuant to the provisions of Article XXIV only upon the
owner of the parcels required to be restricted at the expiration of such period, as it may be
extended, and shall not affect the compliance with this Chapter of any lot in a Development
Project which has received Site Plan Approval prior to the expiration of such period, as it
may be extended.
F. Restricted Land may be (i) owned by a Landowners’ Association, (ii) owned by a non-profit
entity, a principal purpose of which is land conservation or the provision of recreational
facilities, (iii) conveyed to the Town, or (iv) owned by, made subject to easement rights
benefiting, or leased to third parties. In all such cases the uses permitted by such deeds,
easements or leases of required Restricted Land shall be consistent with the provisions of this
§210-170, the Master Plan Special Permit and the applicable Restricted Land Covenant. A
Landowners’ Association or other party responsible for Restricted Land may adopt
reasonable rules and regulations to govern the use of the Restricted Land under its control
and to prevent encroachment thereon.
G. Restricted Land Covenants shall specify the permitted uses of specific parcels of Restricted
Land; the responsible party to be charged with maintenance and stewardship of the Restricted
Land in perpetuity; and a required program for such maintenance and stewardship.
Applications for Site Plan Review of Development Projects shall include an agreement
authorizing the Town to perform maintenance or stewardship of areas designated as
14
Restricted Land in connection with the approval of such Development Project in the event of
any failure to comply with the required program for maintenance and stewardship of the
Restricted Land, after thirty (30) days notice to the Landowners’ Association or other
responsible party and failure of the Landowners’ Association or such party to cure such
failure; provided, however, that, if the Town elects to perform any maintenance or
stewardship work, the responsible party therefor shall pay the cost thereof, which cost shall
constitute a lien, subordinate to any mortgage or other statutory lien, upon the properties in
connection with which the Restricted Land was originally designated, until the cost has been
paid.
H. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to preclude the owner of Restricted Land from
imposing additional restrictions on the Restricted Land or a Conservation Restriction or
Agricultural Preservation Restriction under M.G.L. c. 184 §31-33 which are not inconsistent
with the applicable Restricted Land Covenant.
§ 210-171. Administration
A. The Planning Board shall be the Special Permit Granting Authority for any Special Permit
authorized by this Article. The Planning Board may adopt and file with the Town Clerk
Regulations governing Submission Requirements and Procedures for any such Special
Permit.
B. In all matters in which it has jurisdiction to issue a use Special Permit pursuant to § 210-165,
the Planning Board may issue such Special Permits only upon a finding that the proposed use
is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Chapter. Any such Special Permit
shall be subject to such conditions and safeguards as the Planning Board may prescribe. In
reviewing any application for such Special Permit, the Planning Board shall give due
consideration to promoting the public health, safety, convenience and welfare; shall
encourage the most appropriate use of land and shall permit no building or use that is
injurious, noxious, offensive or detrimental to its neighborhood.
C. After the initial issuance of a Master Plan Special Permit, uses that require a Special Permit
pursuant to § 210-165 may be authorized either by an amendment of the Master Plan Special
Permit pursuant to an application filed by or on behalf of the owners of all land covered by
the Master Plan Special Permit or by a separate use Special Permit pursuant to an application
filed by or on behalf of the owners of the land upon which such use is proposed to be located;
provided, however, that all use Special Permits shall be consistent with and subject to all
provisions of the Master Plan Special Permit applicable to the OSMUD District as a whole.
§ 210-172. Master Plan Special Permit
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no Construction Activity for any development
project to be located on land within the OSMUD District may commence unless authorized
by a Master Plan Special Permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.
15
B. Prior to the commencement of any Construction Activity for any Development Project
approved under an OSMUD District Master Plan Special Permit, the applicant may continue
to exercise its rights under the underlying zoning and may elect not to exercise the rights
granted in the OSMUD District Master Plan Special Permit. If the applicant elects to
exercise the rights granted in the OSMUD District Master Plan Special Permit and pursue
development as shown on the approved Master Plan, a Notice to such effect shall be filed
with the Town Clerk, Planning Board and Department of Municipal Inspections prior to the
issuance of any building permit pursuant to such Master Plan Special Permit. From and after
the filing of such Notice, all Construction Activity within the OSMUD District shall be in
accordance with the approved Master Plan Special Permit. Activities that do not constitute
Construction Activity may be undertaken prior to the filing of the Notice under this Section.

separately or together with an application to the Planning Board for Site Plan Review. If
the Board determines that such amendment is significant, it shall hold a public hearing in
conformance with M.G.L. c. 40A §9. If the Board determines, at a noticed public
meeting of the Board but without a public hearing in conformance with MGL c. 40A §9,
that such amendment is minor, it may amend the Master Plan Special Permit without a
public hearing, and a copy of the amendment shall be filed with the Town Clerk.
(2) Applications for amendment to the Master Plan Special Permit may be filed by the
owners of the affected land, and shall not be required to be filed by the owners of all land
within the OSMUD District.
F. Duration of Approval
The issuance of a building permit within two (2) years of the date of the filing of the decision
with the Town Clerk (or the date of the final resolution of any appeal of such decision) and the
commencement of a Construction Activity within six (6) months of issuance of a building permit
for such Construction Activity shall be deemed to constitute substantial use of rights under the
OSMUD District Master Plan Special Permit.
§ 210-173. Site Plan Review
A. Construction of all Development Projects within the OSMUD District shall be subject to
Site Plan Review by the Planning Board in accordance with the provisions of Article XX,
with the following additions and exceptions:
(1) Construction of Development Projects for Residential Uses shall be subject to Site Plan
Review, notwithstanding any provision of §210-133 or § 210-134 to the contrary.
However Site Plan Review shall not apply to the alteration, reconstruction or enlargement
of residential buildings. For the purposes of this Section, a mixed-use building shall be
considered a commercial building, and shall not be considered a residential building.
(2) Construction of all Development Projects for Commercial Uses shall be considered a
Major Project with respect to the procedures contained in Article XX.
18
(3) The Decision Criteria in this Article shall supersede the Site Plan Standards listed in
§210-136.1 and referred to in §210-136.2.A.
B. As part of the Site Plan Review process, the applicant and/or licensed professionals engaged
by the applicant also shall file with the Planning Board a certification indicating the manner
in which the Development Project complies with the provisions of this Article, the Master
Plan Special Permit and the Design Guidelines.
C. Permissible Building Areas: A Site Plan may show proposed construction within a
Permissible Building Area, where the mix of uses and related construction details are
subject to change, and shall specify the maximum square feet of Gross Floor Area to be
constructed within such Permissible Building Area. Although the Site Plan may show a
proposed building in a specific location, the Site Plan approval shall authorize the
construction of the Development Project if the structures therein and other site features
thereof are located within the Permissible Building Area indicated. After the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for a building, the amount by which such building is less than the
maximum square footage of Gross Floor Area allocated thereto or the amount by which the
number of Dwelling Units constructed is less than the Dwelling Units proposed shall be
available for reallocation to other proposed buildings or Dwelling Units within the OSMUD
District, subject to further site plan review of the buildings to which such intensity of uses is
reallocated, if required.
D. Decision Criteria.
The Planning Board shall approve an application for Site Plan review if it finds that:
(1) The Site Plan complies with the Master Plan Special Permit;
(2) The Site Plan meets all of the requirements and standards set forth in this Article, the
Master Plan Special Permit, and applicable Design Guidelines;
(3) The convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the
Development Project and in relation to adjacent areas and public ways is ensured;
(4) Substantial adverse potential impacts of the Development Project have been adequately
mitigated.
(5) Adequate mitigation has been provided with respect to any conditions impacting on-site
safety, whether such conditions are created on-site or off-site.
E. Minor Modifications: After the filing of a Decision of Site Plan Review, the Planning Board
shall have the authority to approve minor modifications to the Site Plan. Minor modifications
shall include changes that involve minor Permissible Building Area adjustments, utility or
building orientation adjustments; minor adjustments to parking, landscaping, Restricted Land
or other building or site details; or other changes that do not significantly increase the square
footage of Gross Floor Area of Commercial Uses within a Development Project or the
19
number of Dwelling Units in a Development Project. Minor modifications may be approved
by the Planning Board at any regularly scheduled public meetings, without the need to hold a
public hearing.
F. Duration of Approval: Site Plan approvals under this Article shall remain in effect as to a
Development Project as long as a building permit for not less than one (1) building in the
Development Project is issued within two (2) years of issuance of the Site Plan approval (or
the date of final resolution of any appeal of such issuance).
§ 210-174. Design Guidelines
A. To ensure that Development Projects shall be of quality design, the Site Plans for
Development Projects within the OSMUD District shall be based on Design Guidelines
adopted for the OSMUD District under the Master Plan Special Permit, which shall
supersede any inconsistent provisions of design guidelines adopted under Article XXI.
B. The Design Guidelines shall implement the following principles:
(1) The design shall consider the natural resources of the land, including topographic,
geologic and natural features, and the historical character of the Town, where applicable.
(2) Restricted Land and landscaped areas shall complement, enhance or screen the building
and parking areas. Natural features shall be incorporated within Restricted Land areas
where possible.
(3) A network of trails shall provide access to various points of interest, including recreation
areas, unique vistas, and historic sites both within and outside of the OSMUD District
and shall link Restricted Land areas.
(4) The design of the OSMUD District shall incorporate stormwater practices consistent with
low impact development techniques in addition to Best Stormwater Management
Practices.
(5) Buildings within the OSMUD District shall utilize energy efficient design and execution
and low impact development techniques and principles, to the extent feasible.
(6) The design shall be respectful of existing neighborhood settings.
C. The Master Plan Special Permit may provide that the provisions of the Design Guidelines
may be waived by the Planning Board as part of the Site Plan Review process based on a
finding that such modifications are necessary or appropriate to meeting the development and
design objectives of this Article.
§ 210-175. Modifications of zoning provision, applicability
20
A. Modifications to Article XII, Water Resources Protection Overlay District. In the OSMUD
District, the following modifications to the provisions generally applicable to the Water
Resources Protection Overlay District shall apply:
(1) For purposes of § 210-70(C) (2), the term “Development Project” shall be substituted for
the term “lot.”
(2) In § 210-70(D) (5), the words “except for excavations related to site work” shall be
inserted at the end of the clause.
B. Modifications to Article XVIII, Supplementary Provisions. In an OSMUD District, the

HOPKINTON PLANNING BOARD
Monday, December 17, 2018 7:30 P.M.
Town Hall, 18 Main St., Hopkinton, MA
MINUTES
MEMBERS PRESENT: Muriel Kramer, Chairwoman, Fran DeYoung, Vice Chairman, David
Paul, Deborah Fein-Brug, Mary Larson-Marlowe, Gary Trendel, Frank D’Urso, Carol DeVeuve,
Amy Ritterbusch
Present: Georgia Wilson, Principal Planner, Cobi Wallace, Permitting Assistant
Ms. Kramer opened the meeting.
1. Approval-Not-Required Plan – 21 South Mill St. – Equestrian Building Company
Ms. Wilson described the plan which proposes the creation of a 176 sq. ft. parcel to be conveyed
from Lot 22A (#21) to Lot 21 (#17) South Mill St. She noted there may have been an error with
respect to the lot line during construction and the plan is entitled to endorsement.
Mr. Trendel arrived at this time.
Ms. Fein-Brug asked for clarification, and Ms. Wilson noted the 176 sq. ft. parcel has been labeled
non-buildable. Ms. DeVeuve moved to endorse the plan as not requiring approval under the
Subdivision Control Law, Mr. DeYoung seconded the motion, and the Board voted 7 in favor, 1
abstention (Trendel).
2. Legacy Farms North & Frankland Rd. – Lot A-2-2, Form K Request for Lot Release
Roy MacDowell, Legacy Farms LLC, appeared before the Board. Mr. MacDowell noted he is
asking the Board to release Lot A-2-2 from the conditional approval agreement for the Legacy
Farms Road North & Frankland Road Relocation definitive subdivision as part of the upcoming
closing to convey the lot to Pulte Homes. After discussion, Mr. Trendel moved to release Lot A-2-2
from the conditional approval agreement, Ms. Fein-Brug seconded the motion, and the Board voted
unanimously in favor.
3. Legacy Farms North Villages – Restricted Land Covenant
Mr. MacDowell referred to the Open Space Mixed Use Development (OSMUD) overlay district
regulations which require the developer at each closing to set aside 1.8 acres of restricted land for
every 1 acre of buildable land to eventually accumulate a total of 500 acres for the entire Legacy
Farms development. He noted they have about 115 acres in reserve, and therefore there is enough
land available for this particular document. Ms. Kramer referred to a comment in Ms. Wilson’s
memo to the Board pointing out the potential complications for the developer during construction
because portions of the restricted land now will be open to the public and certain activities, such as
stockpiling for instance, are prohibited. Mr. MacDowell stated in this case it concerns small
previously disturbed areas to be restored and/or landscaped, and they are fairly well delineated on
the plan. Ms. Kramer asked about the risk to the Town, and Ms. Wilson noted there could be a
problem because public access will be allowed as soon as the covenant is signed. Mr. MacDowell
stated it was done this way for the last 6 or 7 years, and it worked out just fine. Ms. Fein-Brug
stated she would like to get a better overall vision, or map, of the other restricted land areas, and Mr.
2
MacDowell stated he plans to work on this with Elaine Lazarus, Director of Land Use & Town
Operations, and the Board, hopefully at the next closing. Mr. Trendel asked about the meaning of
private restricted land. Mr. MacDowell stated the concept was developed by the Planning Board 10
years ago, and it is essentially just another category of restricted land, typically a very small area
between groupings of homes and more for the use of the residents there. After further discussion
Ms. DeVeuve moved to authorize the Chairwoman to sign the document on behalf of the Board,
and Mr. Trendel seconded the motion. Ms. Ritterbusch noted she would like the record to show that
signing the restricted land covenant at this point is against the recommendation of the staff. The
Board voted 6 in favor of the motion, with 2 abstentions (Ritterbusch, Fein-Brug).
Mr. D'Urso arrived at this time.
4. Administrative Business – Minutes
The Board reviewed the draft minutes of November 19, 2018. Ms. Larson-Marlowe moved to
approve the minutes of November 19, 2018 as written, and Mr. D’Urso seconded the motion. Ms.
Fein-Brug stated she would like some clarification regarding the frequency of water quality testing
in connection with the Wilson St. LNG facility as discussed at the meeting, but she will bring it up
with the applicants later this evening. After further discussion, the Board voted unanimously in
favor of the motion.
5. Liaison Reports
Community Preservation Committee (CPC) – Mr. Trendel noted the CPC did not quite close out the
public hearing yet but approved $150,000 for a dog park at Fruit St. He noted a small amount of
this funding will be for design and engineering so that they will be able to reapply for a $250,000
grant. He noted Fruit St. was chosen as the preferred location, and the associated parking lot could
also be used for overflow parking for the athletic fields.
6. Continued Public Hearings – 52 and 55 Wilson St. – Eversource Energy – Stormwater
Management Permit Application & Earth Removal Permit Application
James Blackburn, LNG Hopkinton, project manager, Tracy Adamski and Jean Christy, Tighe &
Bond, engineers, appeared before the Board. Mr. Trendel moved to open the public hearings, Mr.
DeYoung seconded the motion, and the Board voted unanimously in favor. Shaun McAuliffe,
Board of Health Director, joined the discussion. He noted they discussed the project and he
completed the review based on the submitted material and essentially agrees with the findings made
by BETA, the Planning Board’s consultant engineer. He noted he believes the stormwater design
meets the standards required of the Town’s own DPW, and he has no concerns about moving
forward with it.
Mr. DeYoung asked about the timing and location of the recent water quality testing, and Ms.
Adamski noted the sample was taken in the middle of a storm event right at the outlet where the
pipes come up and over the impoundment area. Ms. Fein-Brug asked if there is any benefit in
repeating the test in 6 months or a year to assure there is no contamination, and Mr. McAuliffe
stated they discussed periodic sampling. Mr. Blackburn suggested handling it via a condition of
approval requiring sampling to be done at a certain frequency for a couple of years to make sure the
results are consistent. Mr. McAuliffe noted it was suggested this be done for up to 3 years, and that
is acceptable based on his understanding of the project. He noted this concerns rain/stormwater and
the facility would have to address any problems in accordance with its stormwater prevention and
other contingency plans. Ms. Ritterbusch asked whether testing should be done at specific times of
3
the year, and Ms. Wilson noted testing is proposed to take place between March and June. Ms.
Adamski noted she feels the time of the year is less important than the season and how much rain
has fallen previously. It was noted a draft condition to that effect has been included. Ms. DeVeuve
asked if the applicant agrees to extend the testing if the results do not meet standards, and Mr.
Blackburn noted they can certainly do that. Ms. Kramer asked if there is any recourse, and Mr.
McAuliffe noted he has not really considered this but in theory there is nothing going on there that
would cause a problem. Mr. Blackburn suggested they submit data on a yearly basis and perform
additional testing if anything is found to be out of specification, and, if needed, decide on a course
of action in consultation with the Board of Health. Ms. DeVeuve stated she assumes the LNG
facility would be the source, and Mr. McAuliffe noted there could be other reasons, such as the
activities of a flock of geese landing in the impoundment area the day before. Mr. McAuliffe stated
they would verify whether the facility is following protocol and identify a potential source of the
problem, but it would really have to be something unusual to throw off the results. Ms. Kramer
stated the facility will be required to present the results to the Board of Health on an annual basis
and if needed come up with an action plan within 60 days, and it was determined this is acceptable
to both the Board of Health and the applicant. In response to a question of Mr. D’Urso, Mr.
McAuliffe noted they are trying to see how the different Town boards can work together on a
regular basis and collaborate on future developments with respect to potential issues. Mr.
McAuliffe noted for the most part they already have a system in place that involves Board of Heath
review when an application is submitted, and Ms. Wilson noted the boards communicate on a
regular basis. Mr. Paul asked for clarification of some of the test results, and it was noted for
instance the presence of a flock of geese could affect the coliform/e coli results and no surfactants
were detected.
Ms. Kramer asked about the distance to the nearest private well. Mr. McAuliffe stated it would be
in the Kruger Rd. neighborhood, and Ms. Adamski noted that is about ¼ mile. Ms. Kramer asked
about the protocol in place with respect to protection of private wells in the vicinity of an industrial
facility. Mr. McAuliffe noted private wells are required to be tested when the property is sold. Ms.
Christy noted if there is any type of spill, Eversource has a 24/7 response team, and any potential
discharge would be addressed immediately. Mr. McAuliffe stated the Board of Health would also
be involved in that case. Ms. Fein-Brug noted there was a discharge in the 1990’s and she asked if
that would have made it necessary to test a nearby private well immediately, and Mr. McAuliffe
stated it depends on the nature of the discharge. Ms. Fein-Brug noted the discharge made its way
into a stream and an outfall at least ¼ mile away. Ms. Kramer asked how this type of event is
handled these days. Ms. Christy noted she believes the DEP has some reportable threshold for
chemicals or other pollutants mandating cleanup within a limited time. Mr. McAuliffe stated the
system is kept up like a cookbook, with specific time limits and DEP review at each step, as well as
communication with the responsible party and the DEP, but it depends on the type of spill and there
are some products and components where there are no standards. Mr. Trendel asked whether Mr.
McAuliffe feels the abutters are adequately protected with the protocol in place at the facility, and
Mr. McAuliffe stated yes. Mr. McAuliffe noted to his knowledge every release has been addressed
and closed out by Eversource to the satisfaction of the DEP. Mr. D’Urso asked if there is Town
water and sewer in that area, and the answer was no. He noted there is a home on Cedar St. within a
¼ mile radius. Mr. McAuliffe stated in case of a release the DEP looks at the location, hydrology,
soil conditions and geological formations in the area, and they take all that into consideration as part
of their response. He added that if the DEP thought that any of the prior releases at the facility
warranted retesting they would have required it. Ms. Kramer stated the DEP is not responsible for
private wells, so she would be more comfortable with Board of Health review of relatively close
4
private wells. Mr. McAuliffe noted the Board of Health is in regular contact with the DEP and
based on the information regarding a number of incidents they have not identified anything that
would have an effect on the local residents. Ms. Kramer thanked Mr. McAuliffe for his input, and
stated she understands residents should contact him with any concerns, and Mr. McAuliffe stated
that is correct.
Kathleen Towner, 9 Kruger Rd., noted her comments tonight relate to the water quality testing
performed on November 21 as described in Tighe & Bond’s memo to the Board. She noted she had
been at the site a couple of days earlier and for the first time observed a large plastic sediment fence
erected around the outfall. She noted it is the kind of fence one sees around construction sites and
in this case would prevent sediments from traveling from the outfall invalidating the test results.
She stated she would like to know why the fence is there and whether it is permanent. Mr. D’Urso
asked if Ms. Towner took pictures of the silt fence, and, if so, suggested sending them to Ms.
Wilson. Ms. Towner stated yes, and she also has a lot of pictures of Rafferty Rd. Mr. Blackburn
noted there is a black fence throughout the facility, including one within the containment area but he
is not sure whether it has any bearing on the test results. Ms. Larson-Marlowe noted a silt fence can
hold large particulate matter and she asked if that is what the area was being tested for. Mr.
McAuliffe noted it depends on the size of construction and structure of the fence but it is typically
there to limit the discharge. Ms. Larson-Marlowe stated she is asking about pollutants, such as
chemicals, and Mr. McAuliffe noted there would be soil particles, no chemicals, and essentially
only precipitation, sediments and animal droppings are going into the impoundment area. He noted
he believes the fence is part of the facility’s overall standard operational procedure plan. Ms.
Kramer asked if there are any other questions for the Board of Health. Ms. Fein-Brug expressed
concerns about the potential of wetlands being created as a result of the pipe not being able to
handle the flow, with oily substances being absorbed into the earth and increased mosquito
problems. She asked if the Board of Health can help create a better environment. Mr. McAuliffe
noted increased mosquito activity because of standing water can be looked at through the regional
Mosquito Control project. Ms. Fein-Brug asked if the Board of Health will work with private
property owners, and Mr. McAuliffe noted they will work with the Conservation Commission or
other agencies. The Board paused the conversation pending a scheduled discussion of the Hayden
Woods/Davenport condominium development.
7. Hayden Woods/Davenport Village – Crosswinds Hopkinton, LLC
John Parsons and Victor Galvani, SVN Parsons Commercial Group, developers, and Joe
Marquedant, J.D. Marquedant & Assoc., Inc., surveyor, appeared before the Board. Mr. Galvani
noted he wrote to the Planning Board via Ms. Wilson, requesting 1) approval for a modification to
the approved site plan, and 2) partial release of the performance guarantee held by the Town. He
noted he submitted a photometric plan for the 3 additional light poles as well as a revised as-built
plan for the detention basin certified by their engineer. Ms. Wilson explained the developer did not
follow the approved plan and installed additional lighting and an impervious sidewalk, but the
detention basin was designed above standard. She noted the Board previously discussed the issue
but did not specifically approve the change, rather directed the developer to either fix the issue or
ask for a modification of the plan. Ms. Ritterbusch asked if as-built lighting levels are dark sky
compliant. Mr. Galvani referred to the photometric plan prepared by Bohler Engineering, and the
Board asked for clarification regarding the specific design of the lighting fixtures. Mr. Galvani
stated he is not sure if BETA has pointed out any additional issues, and Ms. Wilson stated at the last
bond reduction hearing at the beginning of the year, BETA noted that landscaping, soil absorption
system, and access drives to the basin and swale had been installed in accordance with the approved
5
plan. Mr. Galvani stated they added some landscaping on the south side of the development. Ms.
Kramer asked what will be left to be done if the Board approves the changes to the plan. Mr.
Marquedant noted the current as-built plan is essentially complete, and they should be able to add
the items identified by BETA within a couple of weeks. In response to a question of Mr. DeYoung,
Mr. Marquedant noted they installed an asphalt sidewalk, just on one side. Mr. Trendel asked why
the developer decided to install an impervious sidewalk, and Mr. Galvani stated it was a matter of
conflicts between the plan and the written decision. Ms. Ritterbusch asked if the stormwater
management design is adequate, and Mr. Marquedant noted the basin as originally designed is large
enough to handle the situation. Mr. Galvani stated they bought the project from the original
developer, fully permitted. Ms. Wilson stated the Board can vote on the proposed changes and
address the bond release later.
Tom Garabedian, 5 Davenport Ln., stated he supports what Mr. Galvani and Mr. Parsons are doing.
He noted the developers just about fulfilled all their obligations, and the residents are looking
forward to taking over the homeowners association. Mr. D’Urso referred to the 3 additional light
poles installed without prior approval, and asked for BETA’s thoughts on eliminating at least the
one closest to Hayden Rowe. Phil Paradis, BETA Group, noted he did not review the plans when
they first came before the Board and would have to look at them again to answer the question
although he is not sure why there should be 2 in that location. It was noted having lights on both
sides works, and they could be capped if so desired even though they are not overly bright. Ms.
Ritterbusch stated it is not the type of lights they would ordinarily have approved but she
understands it was a matter of safety and they are there now. Ms. Fein-Brug noted it would be nice
to see these places built in compliance with the approved plan, but she is willing to consider the
changes and it would be helpful to hear from the residents. Mr. Garabedian stated there definitely
was a need for additional light poles, but, although he does not mean to confuse the issue, he would
like the Board to know that the residents intend to change the structures on the top once they take
over the homeowners association. Ms. Fein-Brug suggested requiring the developers to make the
changes before they turn the association over to the homeowners. Ms. Ritterbusch stated she just
wanted to mention her opinion, and Mr. D’Urso noted he does not want to set a precedent. Ms.
Kramer noted conditioning a developer on the future actions of a homeowners association would be
setting a precedent. Ms. Kramer stated she is confident the homeowners association will follow
through, but the town bylaws are clear on this issue and having 3 unauthorized additional lights that
are not dark sky compliant on top of that would add to the insult. Mr. Paul stated they will have to
rely on the good faith of the developer and the homeowners association.
Mr. DeYoung moved to approve the modifications to the approved plan, Ms. Larson-Marlowe
seconded the motion, and vote on the motion was 5 in favor with 2 opposed (Fein-Brug, Trendel)
and 2 abstentions (Ritterbusch, D’Urso). Mr. Trendel stated he really appreciates the input from
Mr. Garabedian, but feels in general the Board needs to find better ways to make sure developers do
what they are supposed to do.
8. Continued Public Hearings – Bucklin St./Leonard St. – Wall Street Development Corp. -
1) Stormwater Management Permit Application; 2) Petition to Construct Bucklin St.
Mr. Paul moved to open the public hearings, Mr. D’Urso seconded the motion, and the Board voted
unanimously in favor. Louis Petrozzi, Wall Street Development Corp., applicant, and Robert
Truax, GLM Engineering, engineer, appeared before the Board. Mr. Petrozzi noted he has revised
the plans to address BETA’s comments and submitted a new letter to the Board. He noted they met
with the Fire Chief about a week ago to discuss some of the parameters from a safety standpoint,
6
including road design and turning radius for fire trucks. He noted they have a template but it has
not yet been incorporated into the plan.
Peter Barbieri, Fletcher Tilton, attorney, joined the discussion. Ms. Kramer noted she would like to
focus on the Petition/paper street question, noting she has not yet read Mr. Barbieri's latest letter.
Mr. Barbieri stated he represents the owners of #60 and #62 Pleasant St. and talked to Mr. Petrozzi
before tonight. He stated his clients have significant concerns about stormwater drainage conditions
after construction. He stated he understands the plan only shows cross-sections of the roadway in
front of the proposed 4 houses, and he would like to see them for the 300 ft. section off of Pleasant
St. as well because from the plan as drawn it is difficult to see what is going on. Mr. Paul stated he
would like to focus on the issue of whether Bucklin St. is a “way in existence”. Mr. Barbieri
referred to his letter dated December 12, 2018 to Rebekah Lacey at Town Counsel’s office, and
stated he does not feel the applicants ever had deeded rights to the first 300 ft. of roadway off of
Pleasant St. because it was never held in common ownership. Ms. Kramer noted it appears Mr.
Barbieri only disputes ownership of the section of road between #60 and #62 Pleasant St., and Mr.
Barbieri stated yes. Ms. Wilson noted Town Counsel has reviewed Mr. Barbieri’s letter but chose
not to respond, however, in conversation with her their opinion still stands and they find that the
applicants have credible rights to ownership. Ms. Fein-Brug asked about research to determine
when the utility poles were installed. Mr. Barbieri noted he was not able to find any information on
utility easements in the Registry of Deeds, and Mr. Petrozzi stated there is nothing in the utility
company's data base about these specific poles. Ms. Ritterbusch noted one of the photos in the
meeting packet shows a utility pole. Ms. Kramer noted she needs more time to review Mr.
Barbieri's letter, and suggested shifting to stormwater drainage especially since BETA is here to
answer questions. She suggested Board members submit questions to Ms. Wilson to be forwarded
to Town Counsel regarding the legal issues. Mr. D’Urso stated he would be more comfortable with
the Board discussing this issue in executive session. Ms. Kramer stated the Town is not in litigation
with anybody and there is no reason to convene in executive session. Mr. Paul asked if they can get
input from the Selectmen, and Ms. Kramer stated he can ask members privately but the Board of
Selectmen has no jurisdiction in this matter.
In response to a question of Mr. Paul, Ms. Kramer stated she is not sure what the owners of #60 and
#62 Pleasant St. knew or did not know, and it is possible they did not know about the potential of a
street to be constructed between their homes. She noted the Planning Board in this case has to rely
heavily on Town Counsel's advice and there is no opportunity to talk about this in executive
session. Mr. Trendel noted from his perspective based on Town Counsel's opinion the legal matters
are a separate issue. He noted he feels a Planning Board approval of the Petition however does not
mean the applicant can start building houses, and he assumes there are other things the abutters can
do if they oppose the project. Ms. Kramer stated Town Counsel's recommendation is one thing but
the Board can decide it does not agree based on other evidence. Ms. DeVeuve suggested everyone
prepare their arguments for the next meeting, preferably in laymen's terms, and Mr. Petrozzi and
Mr. Barbieri stated they have submitted their documentation already. Mr. Petrozzi noted Mr.
Barbieri is talking about deeded rights, but the other issue is whether the way existed on the ground
in July of 1953 at the time zoning was adopted, and that determination is up to the Board. Ms.
Ritterbusch suggested getting input from the other residents in that respect because Mr. Barbieri
only represents 2 of them. Mr. Paul asked if it is possible for the Board to determine Bucklin St. is
a way in existence but not vote to allow any improvements, and Ms. Kramer stated she believes it
is. Ms. Larson-Marlowe stated she only wants to hear from Town Counsel with respect to the
terminology of a way in existence vs. a way on the ground as she is not clear those are the same
7
thing. It was noted the Board will have to continue the hearings to January 28, 2019. The Board
suspended the discussion to open and continue a scheduled public hearing.
9. Continued Public Hearing – Whisper Way – Definitive OSLPD Subdivision – 20th Century
Homes
Ms. Ritterbusch moved to continue the public hearing to January 14, 2019 at 9:25 P.M. and extend
the deadline to file the decision with the Town Clerk to January 24, 2019. Mr. D’Urso seconded the
motion and the Board voted unanimously in favor.
10. Continued Public Hearings – Bucklin St./Leonard St. – Wall Street Development Corp. -
1) Stormwater Management Permit Application; 2) Petition to Construct Bucklin St.
Ms. Ritterbusch stated the photo of Bucklin St. in the meeting packet partially obscures the part of
the plan most in question. Mr. Petrozzi explained the photos don't come with labels and he was the
one who inserted the white strip. He stated he will be happy to bring a clearer photo to the next
meeting.
Mr. Paradis noted BETA has reviewed the initial and supplemental submissions, but he will not
address the waiver requests at this point and instead will focus on his December 12, 2018 letter
report to the Board. He noted the roadway profile comes up from Pleasant St., and the topography
slopes to the north so there is concern about water being captured in between the new road and #62
Pleasant St. Mr. Paradis noted the applicant also obviously will have to work with the property
owner of #62 as his driveway will be impacted by the proposed construction. It was noted that
parking on Pleasant St. is not an option. Mr. Paradis stated BETA will review the turning radii for
emergency vehicles when they come in, and this applies to the proposed entrance on Pleasant St.
and the end of Bucklin St. It was noted the proposed road will be approximately 600 ft. long. Mr.
Paul asked if this means the applicant will need a waiver for a dead end street, and Ms. Kramer
stated yes. Mr. Paradis noted BETA has asked for an additional test pit in the southwest corner of
the proposed infiltration basin to avoid groundwater breakout once the basin is constructed. He
referred to BETA’s comment with respect to the landscape plan. He noted they recommend the
Board provide guidance to the applicant and determine whether just loaming and seeding without
specific screening meets the requirements. Mr. Paradis referred to outstanding issues regarding the
Operations & Maintenance plan, including the requirement for provisions for the Planning Board or
a designee to have access for inspection purposes as well as an estimated operations and
maintenance budget. He stated BETA recommends resolving both issues now. He referred to
BETA’s comment regarding proposed work within the 50 and 100 ft. buffer zones of two isolated
wetlands. He noted they want to make sure that GLM understands that the berm to be created on
the north will cause the flow to be redirected. He noted there will probably be high groundwater
issues as well, and they want to avoid having to put in foundation drains. He stated this is probably
more a conservation item, and it was noted the applicant is going back before the Commission
tomorrow night. There was additional discussion, and Mr. Paradis stated he has no further
comments at this point.
Tom Terry, 17 Maple St., stated he owns property to the west of this parcel and the proposed berm
will redirect water in that direction. He stated Mr. Petrozzi mentioned that he talked to the Fire
Chief and noted he believes they will rely on Maple St. Ext. for emergency access. Ms. Kramer
stated they have a template but it has not been analyzed yet. Mr. Paradis noted he understands it is
an option, and Mr. Petrozzi noted it has not been determined yet. Mr. Paul stated it will have to be
shown on a plan. Ms. Kramer asked Mr. Paradis to address Mr. Terry’s question about the flow.
8
Mr. Paradis noted BETA is concerned about that issue as well, and they have asked the applicant’s
engineer to break up the watershed area under the existing conditions so they can analyze that issue.
He stated that even though more water will be going in this direction under the proposed design
there will be an infiltration basin at the end designed so as not to increase the peak flow.
Mr. DeYoung moved to continue the public hearings to January 28, 2019 at 7:30 P.M., and extend
the decision deadline to February 11, 2019, by mutual agreement. Mr. D’Urso seconded the motion
and the Board voted unanimously in favor.
11. Hayden Woods/Davenport Village – Request for Bond Reduction
Mr. Parsons and Mr. Galvani appeared before the Board. The Board continued the discussion of the
Hayden Woods development focusing on the proponents' request for a performance bond reduction.
It was noted the developers would like the Board to release the performance guarantee except for
$5,000. Ms. DeVeuve questioned whether $5,000 would be sufficient to cover the remaining items
as discussed earlier in the evening. Mr. Galvani stated all major infrastructure has been completed
and Mr. Marquedant feels it should be adequate to cover outstanding items. Ms. Larson-Marlowe
stated the request for bond reduction seems to be linked to the homeowners association being turned
over to the residents, and Mr. Galvani noted they will not turn it over until the majority of the
performance guarantee is released. Ms. Ritterbusch asked how long it will take to finish up the
remaining items, and Mr. Galvani noted about 3 weeks. Ms. Ritterbusch suggested holding off until
then, and Mr. Galvani stated he prefers to have the money now as there are contractors involved.
Ms. Kramer agreed it may be better to wait, and Mr. D'Urso noted there may be year-end benefits to
the developers' request. Mr. Parsons noted it would be better from a tax standpoint and he
suggested leaving more than $5,000 in the account. After further discussion, Mr. Trendel moved to
reduce the bond to $25,000, Mr. DeYoung seconded the motion, and the Board voted unanimously
in favor.
12. Continued Public Hearings – 52 & 55 Wilson St. - Liquefaction Equipment Replacement
Project - 1) Stormwater Management Permit Application; 2) Earth Removal Application
- Eversource Energy
Jim Blackburn, LNG Facility Project Manager, Tracy Adamski and Jean Christy, Tighe & Bond,
engineers, and Shaun McAuliffe, Town of Hopkinton Board of Health Director, returned before the
Board.
Mr. D’Urso noted the Kruger Rd. neighborhood as well as people on Cedar St. have private wells,
and he asked how proactive the Board of Health is in its efforts to make sure there are no issues as a
result of the Eversource facility. Mr. McAuliffe noted he makes it a habit to go up Legacy Farms
North on a weekly basis to keep an eye on everything and they are in open communication with the
DEP and the Fire Dept. He noted residents are welcome to report any evidence of excessive runoff
to the Board of Health. Mr. D’Urso stated he is glad everyone is working together.
Ms. Towner stated she still does not have an answer to her questions regarding the silt fence in front
of the outfall. Ms. Kramer noted that is more a question for the applicant, not the Board of Health,
and it is reasonable to know whether the fence was installed as part of the testing and whether it is
there to stay. Mr. Blackburn stated they have multiple other projects going on at the facility, and he
believes this particular feature is part of Eversource Energy’s overall best management practices.
Ms. Kramer asked if the fence would impact testing, and Ms. Adamski stated no - based on its
location shown in the pictures. Mr. DeYoung suggested removing the fence for testing purposes
9
post construction, and Mr. Blackburn stated that would be fine. Mr. DeYoung noted he just wants
to make sure water quality tests are not affected by the silt fence. Mr. Blackburn stated testing is
proposed to be extended for another 3 years, probably starting at the approval of the Stormwater
Management Permit for this project. He would like the Board to provide guidance with respect to
the timing of the next sampling, for instance 90 days or 6 months from today. Ms. Kramer stated
the Board wants to know if the barrier is there permanently so that they know whether they are
dealing with typical conditions. Ms. Adamski and Mr. Blackburn noted the fence is set back about
1 ft. from the outfall and is certainly not stopping the flow, but they can remove it altogether for
subsequent tests.
Reference was made to the earth removal application and the associated request for a waiver of the
100 ft. buffer requirement. Ms. Adamski noted they will maintain a 75 ft. buffer at the rear on
Wilson St. and they are working in a previously disturbed area. Ms. Kramer asked if there are
concerns about this waiver, and there were none expressed. Mr. D’Urso asked about the possibility
of planting some arborvitae along Wilson St. to soften the look, and Mr. Blackburn stated there will
be a requirement for additional screening as part of the DPU zoning exemption currently under
review. Ms. Fein-Brug asked if the DCR has been notified of the project. It was noted all abutters
within 300 ft. of the property lines have been notified, and that includes DCR. After further
discussion it was determined they are getting close to wrapping up the process but will need an
additional continuation of the public hearings. Ms. DeVeuve asked about outstanding BETA issues,
and Ms. Adamski stated she believes they have signed off on the project, and 2 outstanding issues
(SW18 and SW19) will be addressed through additional conditions of approval. Ms. DeVeuve
stated she believes there were some other outstanding items. Mr. DeYoung moved to continue the
public hearings to January 14, 2019 at 7:00 P.M. and extend the decision deadlines by mutual
agreement to January 24, 2019. Ms. DeVeuve seconded the motion and the Board voted 8 in favor,
1 opposed (D’Urso).
Other Business
The Board set the meeting schedule for 2019.
Mr. Paul moved to adjourn the meeting, Mr. D’Urso seconded the motion, and the Board voted
unanimously in favor.

Trail Coordination and Management Committee
Committee Charge
Approved by Board of Selectmen: January 15, 2019
Town of Hopkinton Overarching Vision: Hopkinton is a vibrant welcoming community
centrally located in New England and nestled 26.2 miles west of Boston. We are endowed with
open spaces, natural resources, facilities and programs that promote a well educated and
healthy community. We are respectful of our past, engaged in our present, and actively
preparing for our future.
Vision Theme: In 2025, Hopkinton has protected additional lands for ensuring water
quality, and for active and passive open space; created more recreational opportunities
for a variety of age groups; and conserved additional natural resources and view sheds
that help define the rural quality that is characteristic of much of the town.
Pursuant to the powers granted to the Board of Selectmen by Section 3-1 of the Town Charter,
the Board of Selectmen hereby charges the Trail Coordination and Management Committee
(TCMC) as follows:
PURPOSE: The Town has a wealth of open spaces available for public enjoyment, and various
public and private entities that work concurrently to provide and maintain public trails. The
purposes of the TCMC are:
●To be advisory to the Board of Selectmen and serve as an “umbrella” over the various
entities,
●To coordinate trail planning, management and maintenance,
●To coordinate the planning of trail networks,
●To provide a sounding board for residents and others with respect to trails, and
●To function as a liaison between the Board of Selectmen and the public and private
entities which work to provide, manage and maintain public trails.
The TCMC will serve as a reference point for trails groups and the public, foster a user-friendly
and open/transparent process, establish branding, promotion and public education, foster
community engagement, and achieve sustainability. The TCMC will support and facilitate a
coordinated approach to trail planning and management, comply with town plans, rules and
regulations, and ensure the implementation of Town Meeting votes, adopted plans, regulations,
regulatory decisions and board/committee actions.
CHARGE: The TCMC will:
1
1.Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, and other boards,
committees and organizations relative to the planning, development, implementation and
management of a townwide trail network and connections to regional trail networks. Areas
of consideration shall include public safety, environmental impacts and environmental
resources, financial impacts, public access and use, accessibility, sustainability, and
mitigation of impacts to abutters.
2.Advise the Board of Selectmen as to the management of specific parcels of land under the
care, custody and control of the Board of Selectmen.
3.Participate in the preparation and implementation of the Town’s Open Space and Recreation
Plan, pursuant to the requirements of the Mass. Dept. of Conservation and Recreation.
4.Establish a transparent process for managing problems and conflicts; encourage
cooperation in addressing problems and conflicts; manage problems and conflicts and seek
solutions.
5.Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager as to the
measures necessary and appropriate to maintain and administer the townwide trail system
and program, including recommending an annual operating budget which includes trash and
debris removal, repairs, mowing, resurfacing, and restoration. Prepare an annual
management plan for guidance.
6.Recommend to the Board of Selectmen for approval, town standards for signage, access
and accessibility, trail marking, parking, mapping, vegetation and wildlife management,
viewshed mitigation, trail design and surface, and trail location as it relates to natural
resources, topography, and proximity to residential abutters. The draft standards shall be
developed in coordination with the Town boards/committees and organizations involved with
developing and maintaining trails on Town land.
7.Promote and encourage partnerships with other Town and Commonwealth agencies and
boards/committees to make Hopkinton a more walkable community.
8.Coordinate and oversee the publication of trail maps and trail guides for use by the public.
9.Encourage public involvement and engagement in the planning, management and use of
trails. Hold at least one public forum annually to solicit public input, ideas and concerns.
10.Meet at least annually with public and private trail groups to discuss proposed trail
development and maintenance plans.
11.Coordinate and manage an adopt-a-trail program, if appropriate, and coordinate volunteer
driven projects.
COMPOSITION: The TCMC shall consist of 7 members who are Hopkinton residents and
appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Initial members shall be appointed to 1, 2 and 3 year
2
terms to achieve staggered terms, and all members appointed thereafter will serve 3 year terms.
No member may serve more than three consecutive terms.
The membership shall be as follows:
●Four members at large;
●One member who is recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission;
●One member who is recommended by the Conservation Commission;
●One member who is recommended by the Planning Board.
Committees/organizations recommending members may recommend more than one for
consideration, and those recommended need not be members of the recommending body. All
members shall have a demonstrated interest in the development, management and use of
public trails. One member (or associate member) who also has expertise in facilitation and
communication is desirable.
The Board of Selectmen may appoint up to 5 associate (non-voting) members if desired, in
order to broaden the perspective, representation or to facilitate the Charge of the committee.
No associate members shall be appointed until one year after a quorum of full members has
been appointed, so as to allow for time for the Committee to fully consider and clarify its
purpose and charge.
RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING TOWN BOARDS:
The existing authority of an appointed or elected board/committee is not intended to be modified
by the Charge to the TCMC. While issues, concerns and questions may be reviewed and
recommendations issued by the TCMC, the final decision rests with the entity with jurisdiction.
However, a board/committee with jurisdiction may formally delegate a matter or specific project
to the TCMC, provided that the TCMC agrees to handle the matter or undertake the specific
project.
KEY REFERENCES: Hopkinton Master Plan (2017); Hopkinton Open Space and Recreation
Plan (2013); Trails Guidelines and Best Practices Manual, Mass. Department of Conservation
