work.
Mr. Preston addresses the Board and explains that he is looking
over issues with respect to developing a Master Plan for the City
of Beverly. Mr. Preston explains that the current Master plan is
not anactive plan used by the City, but sould be a good guide that
the City can use on a daily basis. He suggests that the Board

with the hired consultant.

set some funding aside to hire a consultant to help with this
Master PI&~ in the upcoming fiscal year.

work, but that he is intrigued by the proposal and thinks it is in

that the Planning Board might not have the authority to appoint a
committee on its own, and suggests that the City Planner seek the
City Solicitor's opinion on the subject.

reconfigure the lot. Mr. LeBlanc explains that the piece of land

sidewalks. Mr. LeBlanc explains that basically there are no
sidewalks in the vicinity of this project at present.

developer. Attorney DiMento asks how can a private road with a
restricted covenant be used on Brookhead to access a 28 lot
subdivision, when it is supposed to access only a single family
dwelling. Attorney DiMento states that a legal analysis and rights
should be submitted'with respect to why the developer believes he

explains that they have not yet been provided. .
Delaney states that he would also like to see the proposed
replication area of the wetlands.

that the Board will have to rely on the City Solicitor, since the

information it requested from him on this subject.

the law, then it will most likely be a Judge who decides.

is looking for. Chairman Manzi responds yes.

required documentation. Cassidy explains that it is for the
private property owners to grant permission for the public to
attend the site visit.

his property and asks that the Board focus on the proposed house

that the design is to extend Woodland Road and have the road end in
a cul-de-sac. Mr. Ogren states that the total length of the street
will be 874 feet, and in revising the plan the number of lots has
been reduced, that there will be less building on Anna Lane, and
that the drainage scheme is the same, to collect by normal
subsurface drainage management, and use a detention basin that will
ultimately discharge from a new pipe into the current drainage
system. Mr. Ogren explains that the capacity of the pipes have
been increased to accommodate a 15 year storm event and that the
other aspects of the plan remain the same.
Mr. Ogren explains that the street grade changes quite a bit and
that a waiver in grade will be needed in order to make a difference
in the grade~ that the existing right of way is at 12% and that the
developer will hold to that and, that a vertical curve is required
to make the transition. Mr. Ogren states that the street will be
flat, that the developer will follow the contours in a level
fashion and that the profile of the new lots will be gentler.
