1. 83 Wood Street – Department of Public Works – Site Plan Review
John Westerling, DPW Director, appeared before the Board. He stated that the DPW is replacing
a pole barn that collapsed under snow load last year. He noted that the two proposed stretched
membrane garages would be temporary and used until a new DPW facility can be designed and
built on the site. He stated that the cinder block foundation at the base would be 4 feet tall, and
that the two structures would be side by side in the same location as the prior barn. He stated
they would be about 25 feet tall. In response to a question, he stated that the salt shed is 25 feet
tall and the main building is 18 feet tall. He stated that approval of the Conservation
Commission had been received. He noted that there would be lighting inside the garage but not
outside, and they would be 45 ft. wide and 40 ft. deep.
Ms. Thomson moved to approve the design as submitted. Ms. Fallon seconded the motion and
the vote on the motion was unanimous.
2. 30 Main Street – Mangia Pizzeria – Site Plan Review
Representatives of Mangia Pizzeria appeared before the Board. It was explained that an exhaust
fan is needed for the oven, and it would be placed within an old window opening on the side of
the building facing Walcott St. It was noted that it may be necessary to extend the ductwork up
the side of the building to the roof, because of a residential apartment on the second floor. It was
stated that the proposed fan would protrude 2 feet on the outside of the building, and the window
opening would be boarded up, and that no other exterior work was being done, with the
exception of replacing lighting. The applicant was advised to keep lighting focused downward.
Ms. Fallon moved to approve the design as submitted. Ms. Wright seconded the motion and the
vote on the motion was unanimous.
