Case #07-001 191 Beach Road-Attorney Jack McElhinney, David Chilinski,

Request for 45’ height variance for aesthetic only, not for living space. Construction for 210 units in 4 buildings, on a 13 acre site, parking for 429, garages under, 60% open space, a bikeway and addition of lane on Beach Road for access to residences. 66 one bedroom units and 144 two bdrm units. Center sections of each building would require the height of 45’. Buildings will be N.E. style, multi colored with scaled height. Because of the topography of the lot, below floodplain, the base elevation must be raised approximately 2 feet, there would be a berm built up around perimiter to allow for proper drainage.

Board members questioned the possibility of just two floors to stay at the required height of 35’. Concerns with traffic, trash and snow removal.

Applicant ; could still get 210 units with 3 levels but the appearance is less than desireable, or could make the site more dense to get the 210 units, this taking away some of the open space. Traffic studies have been done and on file with planning board.

Abutters: Susan Pawlisheck of Atlantic Breeze Condominiums questioned the hardship. But believes the option presented better than the alternatives. Ron Laffley supports the aesthetic proposal over the options.

Letters from Economic Development and The Planning officeswere read, letters in support of the current proposed option.

Motion by Tim to continue until 3/13/07
