RIDER TO WESTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICA ON F'OR HEARINGPETITIONERS NATHAN OTT AND LINDSEY OTT, 70 LORING ROAD
Comolete descriotion of prooosal. and what relief vou seek from the Zonrns. Board:
Petitioners Nathan and Lindsey Ott (the "Otts" or "Petitioners"), owners of 70 Loring Road,
Weston (the "Property") seek to relocate their driveway from Loring Road to MeadowbrookRoad because the current driveway's location makes it unsafe for their young children to play
outside at the Property. In connection with the driveway relocation, the Otts must undeftake
associated landscaping and tree removal and replacement and construct retaining walls (the latter
requiring a building permit). The Otts' relocation project will provide a net environmental
benefit to offset any temporary site disturbance and also make both Loring Road and
Meadowbrook Road safer for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians (as well as safer for the Otts'children).
Petitioners request that the Weston ZoningBoard of Appeals (ooZBAo'):
- Reverse the Planning Board's denial of the Otts' request to amend a2013 Certificate ofAction Site Plan Approval to allow the Otts to relocate their driveway from Loring Road
to Meadowbrook Road, where there is no record public objection to the relocation,substantial record support for the relocation, and the relocation conforms with the
Standards and Criteria set forth in Section XI of the Zoning Bylaw; and
- Reverse the Building Inspector's denial of the Applicants' building permit application toconstruct retaining walls necessary for the driveway relocation, where the BuildingInspector's denial was based solely on the Planning Board's denial.
In support of this requested relief, Petitioners state as follows:1. The Otts submitted over 20 letters of support for their proposal to the Planning Board,
including the following: (a) a letter from James F. Genity, III, Trustee and Chair of the Weston
Roads Trust (the "Trust"), which owns 18 roads in Weston, including Meadowbrook Road,
where Plaintiffs wish to relocate their driveway (attached hereto as Exhibit 1a); (b) letters fromall of the direct abutters (1 Meadowbrook Road, 19 Meadowbrook Road, and74 Loring Road);(c) letters from some of the abutters to the abutters; and (d) letters from other Town residents,
many of whom are Trust members. These letters are attached hereto as Exhibit 3. All of these
letters were submitted to the Planning Board in favor of the Otts' proposal; there was no public
dissent on the record.2. These letters of support are particularly notable because when the current home on the
Property was built in20l3, the developer intended to site the driveway on Meadowbrook Road
but quickly instead proposed to site it on Loring Road in part because the roadway ownership
Trust and the abutters objected to his proposal. The Planning Board approved the developer's
application for site plan approval with the driveway located on Loring Road. The Planning
Board's 2013 Certificate of Action ("COA") Site Plan Approval is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
3. In2015, when the developer sought to amend the COA to change the location of the
driveway from Loring Road to Meadowbrook Road, as initially contemplated, the Trust again
objected to the driveway being located on Meadowbrook Road, as did some of the abutters to the
Property. The Planning Board considered the views of the Trust and the abutters and denied the
developer's request. The Planning Board's 2015 Denial is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.
1
2142763
4. The Otts purchased the Property in20l6 before they had children. After their childrenwere born in20I6 and2019, it became clear that the current set up of the Property, with the
driveway sited on Loring Road, is unsafe, as observed by the Otts and documented in a trafficstudy. Because of the driveway's location, the children cannot play outside in a safe manner:
the curuent driveway runs through the only usable grass play area of the lot and also involves ablind turn from Loring Road into the driveway. In addition, the children cannot play on the
driveway directly in front of the garage and front door, which is the only hard surface area
(where the children can ride a bike for example), as this area also involves a blind turn for those
driving in to the front of the house. After spending years working with their neighbors to gain
the neighbors' approval, and securing the agreement of the Weston Land Trust, the Otts'representatives submitted a request to the Planning Board on December 13, 2021, seeking to
amend the COA for Site Plan Approval to allow them to relocate their driveway from LoringRoad to Meadowbrook Road. The plans and other materials submitted to the Planning Board are
attached hereto as Exhibit 6.
5. The Planning Board's review consisted of two site visits held in January 2022, and fourhearings held on January 19,2022 (the "January Hearing"); February 2,2022 (the "February.
Hearing"); March 16,2022 (the "March Hearing"); and April 6, 2022 (the "April Hearing").r Atthe January Hearing, the Planning Board opened the public hearing and continued the matter to
allow the Board to conduct the second site visit. The substance of the Otts' proposal was
discussed at the February and March Hearings, and the Board voted to deny the Otts' relocation
request at the March Hearing. The Board's decision was voted on at the April hearing.
6. During the Planning Board's review, Alicia Primer, Chair of the Planning Board("Primer"), refused to allow the Otts and their representatives to present their project adequately.
At the site visits, Primer refused (a) to accept information on where trees and plantings would be
replanted (as shown on the submitted, written plans); (b) to allow the professionals representing
the Otts to present in an organized fashion what was on the plans; or (c) to consider the traffrcsafety study prepared by Transportation Data Corporation (the "Traffic Safety Study") about
why it was safer for the driveway to be relocated. A copy of the Traffic Safety Study is attached
hereto as Exhibit 7.
7. A second site visit was required because the Planning Board members took issue withhow the Property had been marked at the first site visit even though it complied with the Town's
rules (e.g. mark the middle of a driveway and show the two edges on the written plans, mark
areas of disturbance and limits of work).8. During the February and March Hearings, Primer repeatedly interrupted and cut off the
Otts' representatives, including permitting counsel, Attorney Jamy Madeja of Buchanan &Associates ("Attorney Madeja") and Landscape Architect Joseph Skorupa of Gregory Lombardi
Design, Inc. On several occasions during the February and March Hearings, Primer would not
I The hearings are available to review online, and the Petitioners encourage the ZBA to do so (in particular the
substantive discussions at the February and March Hearings). See

22142763
allow the Otts' representatives to speak, and when they finally were allowed to do so, they wereonly allowed to speak very briefly. The Otts were therefore denied an opportunity to be heard, inviolation of their due process rights.
9. The Planning Board took no public comment on the record even though members of thepublic attended the hearing to speak in favor of the project. Instead, the Planning Board parsedthe meaning of the Trust's letter in favor of the project (see Ex. 14), noting it was a "letter of noobjection," not a letter of support, and wanted to reach out to Mr. Gerrity, Trustee of the Trust, toinquire further. The Planning Board also ascribed significance to the fact that the neighbordirectly across from the proposed driveway had remained silent on the record about the proposal,despite being sent many plan sets and notices, improperly taking the absence of that neighbor'srecord support as an objection to the project. E.g., id. at2:51-2:52 (Oppenheimer noted he
maybe would have felt better to vote for the project if the neighbor across the street had spokenup as she did when the driveway relocation was previously proposed). But this neighbor wasnotified of the project and chose not to comment on the project; if she had had an objection, she
knew how to make that objection known, as evidenced by the 2015 proceedings before theBoard, where she did object. The Board's treatment of the neighbor's silence as an objectionwas inappropriate.
10. Primer referred to a "public comment" she received at the grocery store, in violation ofthe Commonwealth's open meeting laws. March Hearing at2:4l (Primer stated, "The publiccomment received was someone coming up to me in the grocery store. If you'd like to comewith me to the grocery store, when someone speaks to me, should I run away and say no?").Primer never disclosed who approached her at the grocery store, when this occurred, or thenature of the discussion, even after Attorney Madeja pointed out that public comments are to betaken on the record so the applicants know what has been said and have an opportunity to reply.
1 1. Primer also consulted with former Planning Board Chair Al Aydelott regarding thePlanning Board's earlier proceedings regarding the location of the driveway, which also violatedthe Commonwealth's open meeting laws.
12. According to the Weston Zoning Bylaw (the "Bylaw"), the Planning Board is tasked withreviewing and evaluating an application for site plan review to determine if it is consistent withthe listed Standards and Criteria. Bylaw, attached hereto as Exhibit 8, at Section XI, SubsectionF.2 There is no separate standard in the Bylaw regarding how to evaluate an amendment of a siteplan approval where a prior application to amend was filed and denied by the Board. See id.
13. After only briefly considering this standard at the February Hearing, the Planning Boardignored the governing Bylaw and created its own standard of review - requiring a change ofcircumstances from the prior 201312015 proceedings involving the developer. At the MarchHearing, however, the Planning Board abandoned this "changed circumstances" standard (whichis nowhere in the Bylaw) and instead created yet another new standard, this time asking what has
changed since February; the Otts' representatives were not allowed to speak to the changedcircumstances from the201312015 proceedings but could only address changed circumstancesbetween February and March 2022. The Planning Board's constantly shifting standard of reviewviolated the Otts' due process rights.
14. Assuming that the "changed circumstances" standard was the relevant standard, thePlanning Board ignored the drastic differences between the201312015 proposals on the one hand
and the Otts' 2021proposal on the other hand. The current proposal had the support of the Trust,
2 Attached is an excerpted portion of the Bylaw, including Section IX and Section XI, as those are the sections thatPetitioners have cited in connection with their appeal.
aJ
2142763
as well as abutters, unlike the earlier proposals. In addition, the current proposal involveddramatically different improvements to (a) site grading and storm water management systems,(b) landscaping both on the Property and on Trust-owned Meadowbrook Road, and (c) trafficsafety. The prior proposals had none of these. The supplemental filings submitted to thePlanning Board regarding the changed circumstances are attached hereto as Exhibit 15.
15. The Planning Board struggled with whether it should grant or deny the Otts' request.
Ultimately, the Planning Board voted at the March Hearing to deny the Offs' request, citingconcerns regarding site disturbance and a lack of changed circumstances from the 2015 Denial(even though the Otts' representatives were precluded from speaking to that standard at the
March Hearing and in direct contradiction to the overwhelming written evidence in the record).16. The Planning Board's Decision, dated April 6, 2022 and filed with the Town Clerk on
April12,2022 (attached hereto as Exhibit 1) is both procedurally and substantively defective; forexample, it relies on the "changed circumstances" standard which is nowhere included in the
Bylaw and which was cast aside by the Board at its March Hearing.17. OnApril 19, 2022, the Otts submitted an application for a building permit to construct
retaining walls in connection with the driveway relocation project. The Otts' application for abuilding permit is attached hereto as Exhibit 9. On April26,2022, Building Inspector Fielddenied the building permit application because the proposed work "requires an amendment to theCertificate of Action issued by the Town of Weston Planning Board" and the Otts need thatapproval from the Planning Board before they can alter the site. The Building Permit Denial isattached hereto as Exhibit 2. No other reason was provided by Building Inspector Field for thedenial. Id.
18. The Planning Board's review of the Otts' application was marked by rudeness and
disrespect, unprofessionalism, and animus toward the Otts and their representatives. Thisinappropriate behavior began at the Planning Board's first site visit and continued throughout the
entire review process. As just one example, Primer was so rude and dismissive at the first site
visit that she caused Ms. Ott to cry. Adding insult to injury, Primer thereafter texted withanother member of the Planning Board, Steve Oppenheimer, and mocked Ms. Ott for crying. Acopy of this text exchanged, provided by Mr. Oppenheimer in response to a public records
request, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.

On 1,2113/202I, tho Planning Board recsived an application to rnodifli the COA for Scenic RoadSite Plan Approval at 70 Loring Street dated August 1,2013, The applicants requestccl to amendfhe existing COA to construct a new driveway onto Meadowbrook Road.
An U512022 the Plaming Board rnade a visit to the site. At the site visit the Board requestedstandard Site Visit infonnation be provided for a subsequent Site Visit, including tagging lrees tobe rernoved, staking the edges of the drivewag and details on how the curb cut would impaot theexisting berm. The Board also aslced the applicants to consider how the proposed limit of workwould affbct trees adjacent to the limit ofwork.
On l/25/22 the Board made a second visit to the site.
At the 2/212022 Public Meeting, the applicant's representative presonted their proposal,including the following documents;
. Roads Trust Approval from James Gerrity dated 8/1ll2l
. Reports and Written Materials by Gregory Lombardi Desigri. Proposed Drive Location Benefits dated 10/16/18. Project Description by Cregory Lombardi Design dated 1/25122. Environmental Conditions and Improvement Statement dated3ll0/22,5 pages.

The Board discussed the implications of reversing a previous Board Decision and what newinformation had been provided to warrant such an action. The application from 2013 originallyproposed the driveway to Meadowbrook Road through roughly the same area as the currentproposal; the current driveway to Loring was showed as an "alternate driveway location." TheCOA from the 2013 notes that the driveway to Meadowbrook was an issue for that Boardbecause of the significant site disturbance. A total of thirty-seven trees were proposed forremoval from the site for construction of the house, new septic system, infiltration and yard area.Ultimately, the applicant chose the current driveway location, which left the area alongMeadowbrook as the only undisturbed portion of the property, as it remains today.
The Board remained concerned thatthe additional site disturbance, including removalof maturetrees and additional grading were impacts that were not warranted. The substantial plannedremediation was necessary only because of the newly proposed additional site disturbance. Theproperty already has a driveway, which was in place prior to the applicant's purchase of thehome and has been functional both for this house and its predecessor.
The Planning Board voted 4 - 0, with one absent, to deny the request to amend the COA. TheBoard did not find there to be substantive reasoning relating to the property conditions, changesin use, or changes in current conditions within the town to justify the additional site disturbance,or to ignore an element that was critical to the prior Plarrning Board in its Decision. As such, theapplication for the change in driveway location is denied.
All otherconditions of the August 1,2013 Certificate of Action Scenic Road Site Plan Approval,shall remain in full force and effect.

Members of the Planning Board,
We are adjacent to the Otts at 74 Loring Road. We have reviewed the proposed

a practicalconsideration including safety and traffic. We supportthe Ott's request. Theproposed design is sensitive to our concerns, in maintaining a rural appearance on a
Scenic Road with screening and attractive landscaping.

Imai,
By way of introduction, my name is Colleen Nicewicz and I live in Weston with my husbandand three young children. We moved to town just over 3 years ago and could not be happierwith our decision to make Weston our family's home.
I wanted to reach out to you to express my strong support of the Ott family's application forthe 70 Loring Road project. The Otts are a large partof the reason why we have fatten in lovewith the Weston Community. We have had the benefit of spending a lot of time with them attheir home and know how important this project is to them for the safety of their children (andmine too, as we spend so much time together). From our perspective, they have approachedthe project with a balanced perspective - one that optimizes the safety needs for their childrenwith the best needs for the town as well.
I appreciate the time you and the rest of the planning board have spent on this matter and amhappy to provide any additional information if helpful.
Kind regards,

Hi Lindsey,
It was so nice chatting with you and Nate last week. We've been away fora bit but I wanted to reaffirm for you our neutrality on the drivewayproject as you had asked, We will be happy to write a letter saying so
should that be necessary.
We do appreciate the discussion we had regarding your willingness toaddress the removal of dead and unhealthy trees in the area of theproposed project, as well as the large tree limbs that overhang our rear
driveway area which threaten to impact our house. We also appreciateyour assurances that low level screening will be placed along our mutualproperty line so that the proposed driveway will not be visible from ourhome or garden. Thank you for agreeing to address these items.
Let us know if you have any questions going forward
Kind regards,
To whom it maY concern,
We have reviewed the revised driveway location with the Otts
(70 Loring Road) and continue to be supportive of the project
W. initiutty, like others, were opposed due to a variety ofconcerns; including, but not limited to: general safeff and
overall impact to the look and feeL of the street, as well as our
properfy. However, we are not strangers to wanting to make
lh*grill*provements to our properfy to better suit our lifestyle
and futly understand the impact that opposition or support ofneighbors can have. Therefore, we wanted to find a way to work
with the Otts. We found the Otts were easy to talk to and desire
an outcome that beneflts all as rmrch as possible. After sevetal
conversations and with our intent to be neighborly and
reasonable, we feel we can support this project as long as itmeets the below conditions.
. Both parties acknowledge that there is a portion of property
being maintained by the Roitfarbs but owned by the Otts.
The Otts grant an indefinite lease to the owner of 19
Meadowbrook to use and maintain that land since itpresents as part of 19 Meadowbrook.
. The natural look and feel along the entire portion of the
driveway between 70 Loring and 19 Meadowbrook stays intact (existing screening, trying to preserve as many tress as
possible, especially tall ones that cannot be replaced) and
additional evergreen screening to be added (specifics
determined and agreed to by both parties at a later date) toensure the woodland look, feel and to protect the privacybetween properties and glaring light of cars.
We look forward to play dates with our families and wish to beneighborly and reasonable, and it appears the Ott's are acting inthe same good faith.Sincerely,Todd Roitfarb and Brittany Chick

The average natural grade for determining the height of the struchrre is l3l.8l feet (NAVD 88).The maximum allowable building height is 37 feet above average natural grade. The proposedridge height is 166.27 feet (NAVD 88) resulting in a maximum ridge height of 34.46 feet aboveaverage natural grade.
The properly slopes from the western portion of the property adjacent to Meadowbrook Road,where the elevation is 144 feet, towards Loring Road, where the elevation 124 feet. The sitecontains a large number of trees with a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees. The existinghouse is located adjacent to an outcropping of ledge and boulders, which marks a physical breakin the property between the lower Loring Road portion and the higher Meadowbrook Roadportion of the property.
On April 30, 2013, an application was filed with the Planning Board for Site Plan Approvalunder Section V.B.2.b and c and Section XI of the Weston Zoning Bylaw. All abutters within300 feet of the property were notified of the application and advised of a Planning Board SiteWalk held at 8:00 AM, on June I l, 2013, and of the public hearing held on June 18, 2013.
The above referenced site walk and public hearing were advertised in the l(eston Town Crier
On June I l, 2013 a site walk was conducted at the property. Notices of the site walk weremailed to abutters. The Applicant, his architect and engineer, the Town Planner, Planning Boardmembers, and the Planning Board's engineering and landscape consultants were present.Abutters to the proposed project were also present. The Board commented that a significantnumber of trees were to be removed from the properfy. The Applicant stated that the LoringRoad portion of the property contains a large number of trees that are in poor health. Boardmembers expressed concern over the disturbance associated with the construction of a drivewayto access Meadowbrook Road. Following a walk along the proposed driveway alignment, Boardmembers commented that the disturbance to the Meadowbrook portion of the property wassignificant and recommended reconfiguring the driveway to utilize the existing curb cuts onLoring Rd. Members also expressed concern that the proposed screening of the Meadowbrookdriveway was not adequate and would be difficult to screen effectively.
On June 18, 2013 Mr. Aydelott opened the public hearing.
Joey Fonseca, Metrowest Engineering, introduced Joseph DiSipio, the prooerty owner, HenryArnaudo of HPA Design, and Kirsti Moestue, the landscape architect. He reviewed the homessurrounding the subject property. He said it is a 3.14 acre site, which is predominantly wooded.The house is located nearly in the center of the site. He reviewed the topography of the site andnoted it generally slopes down to Loring Road. He stated that the existing property does notcontrol stormwater runoff.
Mr. Fonseca first reviewed the initial site plan proposal accessing Meadowbrook Road. Hereviewed concerns raised at the site walk. He said that the development team prepared a revisedsite plan. He said that the revised plan keeps the existing northern curb cut on Loring Rd. andcloses off the southern curb cut. He said that the proposed Meadowbrook Road driveway wasabandoned.
Page 2 of l0
Bk:62465 Pg:279
Mr. Fonseca reviewed the stormwater system and noted the Limit of Work had been revised totighten up the area to be disturbed. He reviewed the areas to be captured by the system.
Mr. Arnaudo reviewed the elevations of the house. He said that the design remained the same as
the initial submission. The RGFA is proposed at 8,517 t square feet.
The Board reviewed the proposed lights for the structure. Mr. DiSipio reviewed the fixtures andnoted that they meet the intent of the Board's dark sky policy. The Board expressed concern thatthe bulbs are what meet the requirement and not the fixtures. The Board stated it was concernedthat the bulbs could be replaced with traditional bulbs and therefore not comply with the Board'spolicy. The Board asked Mr. DiSipio to look at using fixtures that are certifred as Dark SkyComplaint.
The Board reviewed the proposed generator. Joseph Laydon, Town Planner, said that theproposed generator did not meet the Board's noise guideline and felt the size of the generatorwas more than what was required for the house. David Conway, the Board's engineeringconsultant, said that the size of the generator that was proposed was similar to generators used incommercial applications. Mr. Laydon stated that he recommended the Applicant reduce the sizeof the generator and consider tucking it between the garage and the stone retaining wall.
Kirsti Moestue reviewed the landscape plan. She said that Loring Road is proposed to be heavilyscreened with a mixture of evergreens and deciduous trees. The abutters at I Meadowbrook and74 Loring Road are also to be screened by a mixture of evergeen trees, measuring 12 to 14 feetin height. Cornmenting on the trees adjacent to I Meadowbrook Road, Kimberly Turner, theBoard's landscape consultant, recornmended a distribution of two 16'-18'Norway Spruce, three14'-16' White Spruce, and the remainder 12'-14' trees with two being Notway Spruce and theremainder White Spruce.
Peter Knight, an abutter at 74 Loring Road, expressed concern that he will be able to see thehouse from his garden area. Ms. Tumer also said that she felt two to three additional treesshould be planted adjacent to the abutter at74 Loring Road.
Dan Gordon, landscaping consultant for Amy and George Riedel, who abut the project, askedabout realigning the limit of work along the southern boundary to protect additional trees. Mr.Fonseca said that the limit of work was located to permit removal of trees and for theconstruction of the foundation drain. Mr. Gordon said that it was possible to further adjust thelimit of work to protect more hees and also provide room to install the drainage structure. Mr.Fonseca said that he would look at making a revision to the limit of work.
The Board discussed the width of the driveway. Mr. Knight said that he would like to have thedriveway reduced in width to move away from his property line. Mr. Laydon said that the FireDepartment has asked for larger widths of driveways and recently asked for a width of 14 feetwith 2 feet of stabilized soil on either side of the driveway. The Board stated that increasing thewidth of the driveway would require removal of existing trees that need to be protected. The
Page 3 of l0
Bk:62465 Pg:280
Board also accepted Ms. Turner's recommendation to protect additional red oak hees along thesouthem side of the driveway.
The hearing was continued to 8:00 PM on July 2,2013
On July 2, 2013, Mr. Aydelott opened the continued public hearing for 70 Loring Road. Mr.Fonseca reviewed the changes to the site plan as discussed at the previous hearing. He said thatthey are maintaining the width of the existing driveway; additional hees have been protected;and they have reduced the areas that were to be disturbed. He said that the generator has beenreduced in size and is located behind the retaining wall adjacent to the garage. Ms. Moestuereviewed the landscape plan and noted that three evergreens were added to the southern andthree evergreens were added northern buffer screen. She also stated that they reduced lightingby removing the up-lights in the driveway and the post light at the sheet. Mr. DiSipio noted thatone recessed light at the garage was also eliminated.
The Board voted to close the hearing. On August 1,2013, the Board reviewed the revised plansand the draft Certificate of Action.

RB 70 Loring Road * Denirrl of Proposed Modification of Previously ApprovedSite Plan Approval
On September 16, 2015, the Planning Board reviewed a request to rnodifo the approved Site PlauApproval Certificate of Action at 70 Loring Road, dated August l, 2013, applicant JosephDiSipio, property owrler.
Upon the Boar-d's review of the original Certificale of Action noted above, both the conditionsprevious to this development and cunent existing conditions as well as plarrs subntitted by tlieapplicant, the Board determined that the alteration to the landscape as a result of moving thedriveway ftom of the existing, built driveway fronting on I-oring Road to a rrew drivewayfronting on Meadowbrook Road would be counter to the statcd goals of Site Plan Approval listedin the Town of Weston Zoning By-Law Section XI. Site Plau .A,pproval F. Standards and Criteria.
In order to build flre proposed driveway fronting onto Meadowbrook Road, large trees and rnuchvegetation would need to be removed arid a good deal of grading would be required to address theapproxirnate 14 foot grade drop behveen tle curb out at Meadowbrook Road (elev. 146+/-) downto the paved area in front of the garage (elev. i32+/-), some poter:tially involving blasting orhydraulic rock splitting. Wbereas, using the existirrg curlr cut at Loring Road would not requireany significarlt tree or vegetation removal or any significant grading and would further the statedgoals of the Planning Board, as noted above.
The Planuing Board found tlrat imposition of reasonable conditiorrs would not ensure that therelocated driveway would confornt to the Standards arrd Criteria set forth in Section XJ,subsection F of the Zoning By-Law; specifically, tlre Board fould ihat the relocation sf adriveway from an existing curb cut on Loring Road to a new curb cut on Meadowbrook Roadwould result in failure to preserve natural or historic features and rvould fail to mininrize tree,vegetation and soil removal, blasting urrd grade changcs.
The Board voted unanimously to deny this request to amend the Certificate of Action.
All ctlrer couditions of the above Certificate of Action Site Plan A1:proval, dated Augusr 1,2013,sliall rernain in force aud effect.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

OTT RESIDENCE - PROJECT REPORT - PROPOSED DRIVE LOCATION BENEFITS
Date: 16 October 2018
Project:
Prepared by:Report sent on:
17019 - Ott Residence - 70 Loring Rd., Weston, MaJoseph Skorupa, GLDIl6 October 2018
Proposed drive location benefits:
1. Minimal site disturbance to the overall exterior views to the property and architecture.
2. Minimal necessity for removal of trees and understory plants, especially along roadway andpropertyline buffers.
3. Maintains rural and desired "character" of Meadowbrook Rd. and Weston, Ma.
4. No disturbance to existing ledge on site as requested by the Roads Trust.
5. Safest location for entrance/exit to and from the site as per the traffic report study conducted byTransportation Data Corp.
6. Existing speed control measures create conditions conducive for driveway approach as opposed to theexisting drive on Loring Rd. which offers "inadequate site lines in proximity to a severe curvature inroadway" which adds "substantial risk and danger to exiting vehicles and pedestrian activity" (T.D.C.traffic report).
7. Existing speed control measures on Meadowbrook Rd. provide oobetter breaking distance, roadwayvisibility and safer overall conditions for both drivers and residents alike" (T.D.C. traffic report).
8. Prevents invasive or unwanted headlight angles to all adjacent residences/view angles.
9. Minimized drive length (impermeable surface) to access residence and garage.
10. Minimal grading requires very little wall construction and does not impact off site grading/drainage
1 1. Provides area for planting to remediate any existing sparse or disturbed areas along roadway.
12. Clear sight lines (at lower speeds) looking either direction on Meadowbrook Rd.
If there are any effors or omissions in this Meeting Report, please report them to Joseph Skorupa, GLDIwithin three business days to ensure correction.

25 January 2022Re: 70 Loring Rd, Weston Ma
The proposed project site is located at 70 Loring Rd. Weston Ma. (which sits between Loring Rd. andMeadowbrook Rd.) and is currently occupied by Ott family who have been living at the address for thelast 5 years.
This project is being approached as an amendment to a site plan review which was based on the size ofthe residential gross floor area that had been approved in 2013 by the builder/developer of the site.This previous approach began with an effort to relocate the existing curb cut and driveway toMeadowbrook which was met with concern due to several factors including the potential disturbance tothe site, the inability to receive approval from the residential abutters and the disapproval of the Westonroads trust.
The previous approach varies greatly from the current amended site plan review which is requested dueto the long term plans of a family currently living and growing with the property.
The intent to relocate the driveway and secure a consistent front and rear yard area has been designed toreplace all removed trees with trees of a significant caliper. A number of other landscape improvementswill benefit the local ecosystem, improve stormwater management as well as beautify two scenic roads.This amended site plan approach has also been approved and supported by all adjacent abutters andhas also received the full approval of the Weston roads trust.
Thank you,

Mr. & Mrs. Nathan Ott70 Loring RoadWeston, M1t02493
Client Reference: Meadowbrook Road Site AccessTDC Reference Number: 05077
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Ott:
Below is a brief narrative describing our findings in the field both at the existing driveway and vicinity of70 Loring Road and at the proposed driveway across from 12 Meadowbrook Road in Weston, MA.
The traffic data collection was observed under typical seasonal weekday conditions (ADT's) on September 6thand 20th, 2018. It was collected manually by a professional data collection technician, and electronically byrecognized, industry-standard digital equipment.
Familiar engineering terms e.g.: ADT (Average Daily Travel); 506 Percentile Speed (The average speed ofvehicles in the roadway on a given day); Approaching or "stopping' Sight Distance (The distance available for acar to safely stop approaching a driveway); Exiting Sight Distance (The distance a driver can see down the roadwhen exiting a driveway onto said roadway) are implemented to accurately and adequately describe a number ofroadway traffic conditions.
The data sets for bi-directional vehicular volume, speed and exiting/approaching sight distances are as follows:
70 Loring Road

In a comparative study of existing and proposed Site Driveways, we can obssrve the following:
Existing: 70 Loring Road (a public roadway) presents higher speeds at level grade (shown in blue) andinadequate sight lines in close proximrty of severe curvature in roadway (shown in red). Both conditionsadd substantial risk and danger to exiting vehicles and to any pedesbian activity including bicyclists andchildren.
Proposed: 12 Meadowbrook Road Vicinity (a private way) is located at the crest of the roadway; has anaverage 6% Upgrade (from both direotions); and includes existing traffic calrning devices includingspeed humps and accompanying signage providing increased braking distance; better visibility (shown inSeen) and safer overall conditions for both drivers and residents alike.
a
o
It is in good faith and absolute professionalism that we present the aforementioned findings and conclusions toour client your Associates and The Meadowbrook Planning Board, weston, MA.

DearMr. & Mrs. Ott:
Below is a brief narrative describing our findings in the field both at the existing driveway and vicinity of70 Loring Road and at the proposed driveway across from 12 Meadowbrook Road in Weston, MA.
The traffic data collection was observed under typical seasonal weekday conditions (ADT's) on September 6thand 20th, 2018. It was collected manually by a professional data collection technician, and electronically byrecognized, industry-standard digital equipment.
Familiar engineering terms e.g.: ADT (Average Daily Travel); 50ft Percentile Speed (The average speed ofvehicles in the roadway on a given day); Approaching or "stopping" Sight Distance (The distance available for acar to safely stop approaching a driveway); Exiting Sight Distance (The distance a driver can see down the roadwhen exiting a driveway onto said roadway) are implemented to accurately and adequately describe a number ofroadway traf Frc conditions.
The data sets for bi-directional vehicular volume, speed and exiting/approaching sight distances are as follows:

Existing: 70 Loring Road (a public roadway) presents higher speeds at level grade (shown in blue) andinadequate sight lines in close proximrty of severe curvature in roadway (shown in red). Both conditionsadd substantial risk and danger to exiting vehicles and to any pedestian activity including bicyclists andchildren.
Proposed: 12 Meadowbrook Road Vicinity (a private way) is located at the crest of the roadway; has anaverage 6Yo Upgrade (from both direotions); and includes existing traffic calrning devioes includingspeed humps and accompanyrng signage providing increased braking distance; better visibility (shovrn ingreen) and safer overall conditions for both drivers and residents alike.

Re: Public Records RequestSubject:
Hi, lmai-
This is all I have-texts between Alicia (A) and me (5) on 2/2/2022i
A: Willyoubewithustonight?ParticularlyforTOLoringpart3,sinceyouwereon2015boardthatdenieditthe2ndtime.S: yes, l'll be therel Don't remember denying it the 2nd time, What's the problem if the neighbors aren't against it?
A: lt was denied in 2013 and 2015 because it was " counter to the stated goals of site plan approval listed in the Town Weston
zoning bylaw etc. etc." Too much site disturbance. And frankly, I don't like the idea of having to revisit PB decisions over and
over simply because we've had a change of personnel.
S: Well, l'll have to see what their reasoning is, Are they new owners?
A: They bought it 5 years ago.
A: We've had the pleasure of 2 site visits. And the owner will cry.
Thanks,Steve

Dear Mr. Aiu, and through you to the Members of the Planning Board:
Enclosed please find supplemental materials for the Site Plan Amendment Application by
T0lnring Road: initial hearing on February 2,2022 continued to March 1,6,2022.
As requested, the enclosed materials detail the "changed circumstances" between this Site
Plan Amendment application ("Ott Family Application") and the original developer's Site Plan
Amendment application submitted in 2015 ("DiSipio Application").
Specifically, the Ott Family Application has the following factors which the DiSipio
Application did not:r Support from the owner of the subject right-of ways, the Weston Roads Trust;
o Years of neighborhood consultations;o Support from all adjacent abutters on Meadowbrook Road and Loring Road;
o Over 20 letters of support from abutters and other homeowners in the Weston
Roads Trust neighborhood;e No known negative public comment;o Professionally-created net benefit to environmental conditions and natural
ecological conditions;o Documented improvement of traffic conditions,r Documented improvement of aesthetic values (scenic road; screening on
Meadowbrook Road)o No recommended plan changes by the Planning Board's landscape consultant.
For the factors above and the reasons detailed in the following documents, we
respectfully request the Planning Board's approval of the Ott Family Application.a

RE: 70 Lorine Rd. - Site Plan Amendment Anolication - Chansed Circumstances
Dear Mr. Aiu, and through you to the Members of the Planning Board:
This letter supplements the Site Plan Approval Amendment request for T0 Loring Road, to alter
the location of the driv"way and make stormwater management improvements, in particular to
address the question askedby a member of the Planning Board whether the applicati_on_involves
sufficiently ichanged circumstances" from prior requests to the Planning Board in 2013 and
2015. Please note the Planning Board consultant Kim Turner did not recommend any changes to
the plans - this submittal is explanatory and responsive to Planning Board questions only.
During the February 2,2022 Planning Board hearing, the question was asked at the start of the
hearirig regarding rllocation of the eiisting driveway from Loring Road to Meadowbrook Road,
with the assumption that the Board had previously denied this request twice. The question was
raised stating tlie Board had an informal policy wherein the Board should only approve a
previously-dlnied request on the groundi that "the circumstances have changed substantially."
(As a brief point of note, during the February 2nd hearing it was stated that the request for a
Meadowbrook Road driveway ic""ss was denied twice, in 201.3 and in 201-5. However, the
record from 2013 shows that it was not a denial by the Planning Board, but rather a voluntary
change by the original site developer to move the driveway off Meadowbrook and to Loring
Road, foliowing comments received during the site walk. For additional background on same,
an Appendix is attached summarizing tneiOtt record. Of particular note is that at that time, the
owners of Meadowbrook Road had not given consent for the Meadowbrook Road relocation')
The following bullet points contrast the facts associated with the original request to amend the
Site Plan Apfroval, .ubtnitted by the developer on Septemb er 16,2015, and the occupant family
Ott's cunent request ("Ott Application"), outlining the ways in which the Ott Application
demonstrates a'tsubstantial change in circumstances."l
1 This summary is based upon review of the Planning Board's September 16,2015 Meeting Minutes, as well as the
September 28,-20L5 internal Planning Board Memorandum from John Field to Ann Swaine'
1.
\
ln20l5,the developer, Mr. Joseph DiSipio of DiSipio Development Group (herein 'theDeveloper") submitted a Request to Modified the approved Site Plan ApprovalCertificate of Action ("COA") dated August 1,2013. The Developer's ModificationRequest consisted solely of a proposal to move the existing driveway at 70 Loring Road
to an access point on Meadowbrook Road.
During the Planning Board's September 16, 2015 public hearing, the abutter at 115
Meadowbrook Road raised opposition regarding the changed traffic and the owner ofMeadowbrook Road, the Weston Roads Trust, did not consent to the use ofMeadowbrook Road.2
2022 Changed Circumstances :
o WESTON ROAD TRUST CONSENT: The Ott Application bears an assent
letter from the Weston Roads Trust, signed by the Trust's Chairman James
Gerrity.
o ABUTTER SUPPORT: The current Site Plan Approval Amendment Request
("Ott Proposal"), submitted on November 29,2AZL,is accompanied by
documenied support from the Ott's direct abutters atT4Loing Road, 1
Meadowbrook Road, and 19 Meadowbrook, as well as from five other
Meadowbrook Road and Loring Road neighbors for 21. total support letters and
(to date) no opposition. On information and belief, this is an unusually high
number of support letters with no opposition.
o TIt {IFIC/SAFETY UPGRADE: As stated in the TDC traffic analysis report,
the Ott Proposal will lead to a"6o/o upgrade from both directions.. 'providingincreased Uraking distance, better visibility and safer overall conditions for both
drivers and residents," including pedestrians and bicyclists using these roads'
TDC's analysis found that the two roads currently have "inadequate sight lines in
close proximity of sever curvature" which leads to a "substantial risk and danger
to exiiing vehitles and any pedestrian activity including bicyclists and children."
o NET ENVIRONMENTAL AND STORMWATER I\,IANAGEMENTBENEtrTI: The Ott's Project Plan, prepared by Lombardi Design involves a site
disturbance of o'minimal necessity" for removal of trees and understory plants,
and a temporary disturbance for the site grading work, resulting in net
environmental Lenefit on multiple grounds. A detailed report by LombardiDesign is attached as Exhibit l. The stormwater analysis is already on
record with the application. we also note the Planning Board's own
landscape architectural consultant, Kim Turner, stated on the site walk and
at the public hearing that she had no recommendations for changes.
2 Following said discussion, the Board unanimously voted to deny the Developer's modification request.
2
a
a
a
The Ott Proposal will lead to a net environmental benefit, in that it will (1)
remove unhealthy and dying trees on the site and replace them with new healthy
trees of a similar caliper; 1Z) improve the site's stormwater management, (3)
increase the site's understoiy for the landscaping buffer between the driveway and
the closest abutting property, and (4) increase the amount of trees and plantings
along the site to thibenefit of the entire Loring Road and Meadowbrook Road
neighborhood.
There is no question that the ott Proposal, like the Developer's request, willinvolve u t"nrpo.uty disturbance. However, it is outweighed by the resulting net
environmental benefits and the fact that the Project Plan has been formulated to
be the most environmentally beneficial and socially supported option available for
this situation. To the degree that the Planning Board believes there are additional
modifications that can b-e made to the Ott's Project Plans for the benefit of the
I-oring Road and Weston Road neighborhood or the Town of Weston as a whole,
the Ott's gratefully welcome such feedback'
EXTENSM NEIGIIBORIIOOD CONSULTATION: The Ott's Project Plan
is the result of two years of ongoing revisions to incorporate feedback from the
Ott's direct abutters and other neighbors regarding the location of the driveway,
the specific trees which would be removed, and the location and size ofreplacement plantings, to the satisfaction of all involved. There is no evidence
that the Developer'JModification Request undertook this level of environmental
diligence or oeghbot input in proposing prior driveway relocation or site plans'
Iamy Buchanan Madeja, Esq., for The Ott Family
o
In conclusion, the change in circumstances between the original request by the site developer and
the Ott's as current o*ti.r. could not be greater. Unlike the developer's proposal, the Ottproposal was extensively discussed in cooperation with neighbors, carries unanimous support
from their direct abutter., bru6 consent from the Weston Roads Trust, addresses the issue ofpreviously-raised traffic concerns by creating a 67o increzse in safer traffic conditions, and willresult in better stormwater controls, healthier trees and increased plantings on and along the
property.
The above facts and the robust application before the Planning Board merits the requested
Amendment to the site Plan Approval, and we respectfully request same.
Thank you all for your time and attention.
Cordially,
rto$,/;*

APPENDIX
Timeline and Facts.resarding the orisinal site Plan Approval Application
Upon review of the Weston Planning Board's August 2,2013 Site Plan approval for 70 Loring
Road, the following facts are evidenced:
The original Site Plan submitted by the developer Mr. Joseph DiSipio of DiSipio Development
Group (;'Developer") proposed driveway access on Meadowbrook Road. However, during the
June I t,ZOl3 siie walk for the Developer's Site Plan Application, some Planning Board
members expressed concern that "the proposed screening of the Meadowbrook driveway [as
envisionedl was not adequate." and a representative of the owner of Meadowbrook Road (Jim
Gerrity of Weston Lands Trust) did not consent.
During the public hearing on June 18, 2013, the Developer's project engineer stated that a
revised plan with Loring Road as the driveway access would be the final submittal. Accordingly,
no Planning Board decision was ever made regarding a Meadowbrook Road driveway.
Finally, in 2015, the Developer attempted to amend the Site Plan Approval to relocate the then-
built Loring Road drivewayio Meadowbrook Road, but again lacked consent from the owners of
Meadowbrook Road (the *eston Roads Trust) and from the site's abutters, and was accordingly
denied.

OTT RESIDENCE - ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENT STATEMENT
Date: t0March2022
Project: Ott Residence - 70 l.oring Rd., Weston, MA,02493Prepared by: Joseph Skorupa, GLDI
This letter is to address the concerns of some on the Weston Planning Board regarding the Site
Plan Amendment Application submitted by our clients, Nate and Lindsey Ott, specifically,regarding the environmental conditions and improvements included in the application submitted
tolhe noard by Gregory Lombardi Design. The proposed site plan will have immense beneficial
environmental and ecological site impacts while exceeding cunent planning board requirements.
The current environmental site conditions are that of an intermediate woodland or immature
forest - in transition from a habitat of older established trees which are now in mostly poor/fair
condition and established seedlings. These seedlings, now grown, have been in competition with
each other for limited resouroes based on the light conditions, air flow and water to soil
saturation - which in turn create a declining condition for the tree stand or wooded area itself
(as well as a strong lack of wildlife and biological activity which both help to perpetuate the
ecosystems within themselves).
The existing tree stands are currently 'two-level' forested areas which consist of a tall canopy
atop thin, 'self pruned' and potentially weak-growth seedlings attempting to out-compete each
othir, and the giound plane, which consists of mostly eroded and self compacted soils with a
distinct lack of nutri.nt du" to the reduced biological activity from the conditions mentioned
above. This type and system of forest is distinctly marked by a lack of vertical stratification, a
significant number of trees with potentially hazardous heights comparative to strength, a
silnificant presence of monoculture, as well as a definitive lack of biological, habitat and food
*our"es which continue to keep the wooded area in a fluid yet somewhat declining state.
The lack of understory includejminimal levels of undergrowth species and high quantities offoliage at around fifty feet or above on thin stalks with no lower branching.
Woodlands similar to this condition tend to crowd themselves with seedlings competing against
each other, which creates dense shade and very little light or air flow to the soil or duff layers.
The lack of light and warmth prevents biological activity such as microbes or even fungi from
flourishing as duff material slows in its process of breaking down (or ground layer plants from
establishing which allows for overall soil degradation). The general state of the declining soil
nutrient levels allows water to condense and compact the soil, essentially filling soil voids and
impeding root growth while contributing to erosion-

Page 2
I Natural resource conservation service, 'forest stand improvements' - The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
April 2005
This process then begins to set the trees towards a weaker path, which in turn can perpetuate this
cyclJand force the forested area to remain in an intermediate state, rather than progless towards
an old growth forest - which has the highest environmental impact. When this monoculture and
weakened-state intermediate forest sits in this condition it is also much more likely to be
susceptible to plant pests, diseases and even wildfire. The minimal nutrient levels, lack ofcorridors for wildlife movement and lack of food/habitat sources tend to cause a reduced wildlifepopulation and a generally negatively impacted ecosystem'
There are several methods of helping to assist with or improving this condition, with the
end goal of these proposed methods as the following:
o To initiate and maintain forest stand regeneration;. To reduce the potential of damage from wildfire, pests, and diseases;
r To restore natural plant communities and all necessary parts of the local ecosystem;
r To improve aesthetic, recreational, and open space values for residences and Scenic
roadwaysr To improve wildlife habitat and food sources, as well as to allow for movement along edges;
r To improve water conservation and storm water management systems;
o To initiate and maintain forest stand regeneration:
1. Removal of unhealthy/poor condition plant material and replacement with
significantly healthier material will help to prevent diseases as well as reduce
poor or faiihealth small growth in favor of healthy nursery material planted
around the site.2. The submitted landscape plan will thin out the existing trees that are in poor
condition and allow for greater uptake of nutrients to promote healthier
vegetation overall, improved access to light throughout the woodland, and
increased overall environmental health through varied species which prevent
'monoculture' and the spread of potential plant pests of diseases.
3. The improved condition will strengthen existing and proposed trees and allow
for a varied height woodland, healthier soil and organic systems whilecontinued efforts to plant understory growth will allow for numerous potential
benefits to maintain and continue a process of woodland regeneration.
4. "Intermediate featrnents are applied to established immature forests to
improve them. They may be undertaken to remove poor quality trees; to
remove undesirable tree species; to thin the stand and increase the growth rate

5. "The scientists found that in the thinned areas, average growth was nearly 26
percent greater than in the unthinned areas, when adjusted for species, initialiree size, and crown class. Midstory trees and the understory also responded
positively" 2
6. "Thinning with skips/ gaps was easy to apply and resulted in little damage to
residual trees. Variabitity in tree growth rates increased within stands that had
received variable density thinning and responses were evident within 5 years -
all sizes of trees responded in the areas that were thinned. Variabilityincreased in plant cover (especially herbaceous plants) and in tree
regeneration." 3
To reduce the potential of damage from wildfire, pests, and diseases:
1. The planting of various species at differing sizes will end a monoculture
condition on site which will help prevent the spread of plant pests diseases
through foliage, bark or root systems.2. The general thinning of some areas on the site will increase plant
health/susceptibility to fire, as well as improved health for protection against
currently present potential problems.3. The thinnld woodland will allow for more light and warmth, which will
instigate the breakdown of forest duff (in turn improving nutrient amounts for
uptaie) which helps peqpetuate a positive cycle and also helps prevent the
spread of fire along wooded corridors or between properties.
4. "Generally, the healthier the forest, the more resistant it is to widespread pest
attack. Overmature, weak, wind-thrown, and lightning/fire-killed trees have
little or no defense against infestation and are a factor in the buildup of pest
populations. Selective cutting of susceptible trees, thinning that accelerates
growth, and other similar long-range forest management practices that
stimulate vigorous tree growth are good methods for indirect control of insects
and diseases. These practices reduce the host material and breeding grounds ofpests that may spread to healthy trees." 4
a To restore natural plant communities and all necessary parts of the local ecosystem:
1. The original community in this area was almost entirely white pine and
oalc/maple woodland with a dense understory - which was heavily forested
earlier this century and has left many areas in this transitional phase'

2. By including healthy varieties of various species (including a significantnumber of native and non-native noninvasive plantings) will help to foster and
encourage species growth and acclimation in the area, assisting the forested
area in moving closer towards an 'old $owth forest'3. These understory plantings and varied height shade/ flowering trees will help
to mitigate any damage to the local ecosystem while helping to improve and
maintain a positively growing fluid woodland - as well as improving the
conditions for local wildlife to perpetuate a functioning and healthy ecological
system.4. "The organisms composing forest communities adjust to/ shape the complex
three-dimensional structure of their environment and inhabit alarge variety ofniches along the vertical gradient ofthe forest. Even though the degree ofvertical stratification varies among different vertebrate groups, patterns ofcompositional stratification can be observed across Communities of birds, bats
and non-flying small mammals exist in terms of abundance, species richness,
diversity, and community composition. Frugivorous members of these taxa.
play important roles as seed dispersers and forage on fruit resources that, in
iurn, uury in quantity and nutritional value along the vertical gradient." 5
To improve aesthetic, functional and open space values for residences and Scenic
roadways:
l. The proposed plans will improve the edge conditions using the methods
abovi, is well as to help create more consistent, continual and natural-looking
buffers along scenic roadways. These buffers would function both
aesthetically and environmentally to reduce noise, uptake roadway runoff and
produce vast benefits for the soil and surrounding plant communities.2. These natural buffers, which include ground plane, small, medium and large
height shrubs mixed with flowering and shade trees will improve the
r*piti"n"e of both homeowners and visitors traveling through these areas ofWeston, as well as help to perpetuate seed movement through natural or
animal sources along these corridors'
To improve wildlife habitat and food source, as well as allow for movement along edges:
1. The current site, as noted above distinctly lacks a significant number ofelements required for a productive ecosystem which will begin to be resolved
through our proposed plans.2. There are cuirently very few habitat locations in the canopy or intermediate
trees - All maintain very little branching aside from the very top leader

growth, and the canopy above is too unstable and unsafe for most uses/nesting
uses. These trees offer little in the way of wildlife habitat or nutrient value.
3. The ground plane is currently covered in a dufflayer many years old, with avery slow rate of decay/decomposition (which is a major regenerative element
required in the perpetuation of healthy forests). This lack of understory ormid-level plantings restrict safe travel/movement of wildlife, hinder the
establishment of food sources or loflmid level habitats, and keep the
ecosystem limited and struggling.4. Our proposed plan takes these elements into account by expanding the vertical
stratification on site, expanding the varied-level buffers along edges (where
animals actually feed, live and travel along) and will provide various ground,
mid level and tree height habitats, food sources, and nesting areas.
To improve water conservation and storm water management systems:
1. The current condition, in a weakened state, has created a dense and compacted
soil layer with a loose duff layer above which is contributing to saturated soils
and general erosion rather than groundwater recharge and reuptake byplantings.
2. The proposed improvements would not only capture all water on the
hardscape surfaces on the site but would help prevent runoff by establishing a
healthy layered plant community and an improved soil condition through all
natural processes.
3. The various stratified layers of plantings will 'hold and release' rainwater
which helps improve soil penetration by slowing the overall speed and density
of rainfall that is impacting directly on the soil layer.4. The plantings that uptake water through improved root systems and growth,
allow for griater groundwater recharge by improving the soil conditions and $
slowing the fatl rate, and will allow for greater levels of evapotranspiration of \excess water, which is returned to the air through foliage which cools the air
and returns excess water to the water cycle'5. "Healthy Forests filter and regulate the flow of water, in large part due to
their leafy canopy that intercepts rainfall, slowing its fall to the ground
and the forest floor, which typically acts like an enormous sponge,
typically absorbing up to L8 inches of precipitation (depending on soilcomposition) before gradually releasing it to natural channels and
recharging ground water." 6

Weston Planning Board Minutes, January 19,2022 Page2
Discussion: KT said this presentation covers all of her comments and the Boards' comments from the last site walk.
AP said that she had been contacted by several neighbors who are concerned that the maple in the front yard was notadequately protected. Ms. Fanger said the protection fence should prevent trucks from driving near the tree. The mulch isdeep and will also protect the tree. She said the mulch is not permanent so it will not harm the tree. It was agreed to pullsome of the mulch away from the root flare.
Public Comments: Jerry Haber, 15 Bradle Road, asked if there are healthy viable trees that will be removed. Ms. Fengersaid the trees that will be removed are dead, which KT confirmed.
AS said he was shocked at the site visit by the lack of regard that was paid to the trees, and wants to ensure that there ismore attention paid in the future. AS suggested a bond to protect the trees, which will be done. Mr. Haber said a bond hadbeen offered earlier in the process with the ZBA.
Dr. Haber thanked the Board for enforcing the neighbors' concems about the trees.
Leslie Glynn, speaking as a resident and not a member of the Board, asked to see the arborist report on the root trimmingand for the rest of the site, which was agreed to. Ms. Glynn asked for clarification on how the wood chip pad would helpthe tree roots and the steep slope. IA said there was a layer of topsoil with wood chips on top.
Ms. Glynn suggested that another canopy tree be added along Merriman Street, but AP said that would require changingthe original approved landscape plan. Ms. Glynn then asked the developer to considering adding more trees in that area.
Ms. Glynn also said the historic stone wall had been damaged. Mr. Duran said the plan calls for the wall to be taken downand then rebuilt. IA said plan requires the wall to be repaired and maintained and outlined the wall plans. This wasdiscussed and it was discovered that the historic stone wall was approved for removal. IA said he would look into thisissue.
Susan Scott asked what the bond will cover exactly and what would the consequences be. AP provided the information.
Dr. Haber asked if it was certain that there will be a bond. AP said this was agreed to by the Board.
The decision for this item is scheduled for February 2,2022.
Mr. Oppenheimer joined the meeting at this point.

Discussion: Ms. Wilkins said her impression is that Greatland has made an honest effort and sees difference in plans fromNovember to now. She said all of Sustainability's "what if' questions have been answered. She pointed out that labbuildings are high energy users and there is not much to do about that given the limitations of the site. Greatland'scommitment to opt in to 100% renewable energy through Power Choice will be beneficial to Weston.
AS said he appreciated Greatland's commitment and efforts to try to mitigate their carbon footprint.
LG expressed appreciation for Greatland's plan to use CTL/Mass lumber.
Ms. Wilkins shared an experience she had speaking to the CFO of the biotech company she works for.
LG asked for confirmation on several issues, which were provided.
LG also asked about grey water handling, and Ms. Ford explained the challenges of the site in the area. Mr. Leverprovided more details about this issue, which was discussed.
LG asked if the LEDs on the end of the site could be kept to 2700-3000 kelvins, which was agreed to.
LH asked about future EV charging compatibility and if there enough at the site. Ms. Wilkins said she is more concemedabout the electricity capacity at the site. Ms. Ford said this is a concern for Greatland, too. Capacity need in the area wasdiscussed.
LS asked if there was any mitigation for potential bird strikes. Mr. Dundon said the amount of glass on the two buildingsin question has been reduced, and a non-reflective panel has been used between floors, and the solid components ofthefagade have been modified to add depth,
AP asked what would happen to the tree trunks of the large trees being removed from the site. Mr. Dundon said they arelooking at options and explained several possibilities.

Representation: Angela Kearney, Landscape Architect; DanCarr, Civil Engineer; Brian Zagorites, Architect
Overview: Mr. Carr reviewed the engineering plan for the proposed house. Ms. Kearney presented the landscape andlighting plans for the proposed house. Mr. Zagofites presented the architectural plan for the proposed house.

Discussion: DC advised that he was satisfied with the engineering.
KT said the landscape plan looks robust, although some existing trees are deciduous, and the ledge does not block all ofthe house. She suggested some larger evergreen shrubs at the top or trees at the bottom added to thatareato help withbuffering. After some discussion it was agreed to add 3 field-located shrubs in that area.
AS asked for details on the side of the house that would face the historic house next door. There was a discussion of thevisual impact of a modern white house in a National Register Historic District.
LG expressed concem about the location of the LED strip lights, which Mr. Zagorites spoke to.
LG asked if the native grasses are drought-resistant, which Ms. Kearney confirmed. LG also asked for details about thelocation of the front fence which Ms. Kearney provided. LG asked for some shrubs on the road side of the fence, and Ms.Kearney said they will try to do that, although there are places where the fence is very close to the wall drop off.
LG asked about the demolition plan and suggested that there were items in the house that might be salvageable and askedthat they consider this.
LH asked if the house would have solar panels since they are removing trees for solar gain. Ms. Kearney said there maybe panels in the future but right now the goal is to increase the passive solar in the house. LH asked if there were othersustainability components in the house, and Mr. Zagorites said they had not discussed this.
AS pointed out that the south-facing side of the house does not have many windows and will not benefit from solar gainby removing trees and asked why they wanted to remove the trees for so little benefit. Ms. Kearney said the goal is tobring more light into the house, plus make space for the driveway.Mr. Zagorites explained how the light gain from thisside of the house would penetrate into the house.
SO said it appears that the trees are being removed for the driveway. He asked for clarification on the location of the newdriveway, which Mr. Zagorites and Ms. Keamey provided.
SO also asked several questions about the existing and new fencing, including matching the color of the new fence to theexisting one or painting all of it dark green. SO also asked if the fence could be turned north earlier to move it away fromthe road.
AS said the house does not fit the fabric of the historic district and is concemed that solar gain was cited as the reason toremove trees when that appears to be untrue.
AP asked several questions regarding the trees along the road.
SO asked if the house could be moved north to keep more existing trees, which would make the house color and designless noticeable from the street by increasing the screening.
Public Comments: Steve Jackalis, 215 Boston Post Road, said he is concerned about the color of the house because ofglare on the east side. He is also concerned about trees and their sizing. The lighting is also of some concem, and finallyhe proposed using a natural berm instead offencing along the front.

Zoning Bylaw Amendment - Development Standards for Municipal Utilities - Town of Weston Applicant
Overview: IA explained that the water tanks in town need to be replaced, and because of where they are located there is aneed for azoning change. He then outlined the draft bylaw.
IA said that another approach would be to get a variance at each site, although each ofthese would be subject to appeal.
Documents:o Hydraulic Profile-Graphic o Water Tank Graphics Boardo Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendrnent for Municipal
Utilities.o Transmittal of Zoning By Law Amendment
Discussion: LH asked if the proposed unlimited height for water tanks was standard in other towns, Mr. Williamson saidhe was not aware of any community that has a height limitation on any water tanks. There was a robust discussion of theheight limitation issues as well as what other towns do.
AP asked if a cell tower could be added to the top of a water tower. IA said that in the draft bylaw as written this is notallowed, but the Select Board asked that it be considered.
LH asked if the proposed size of the new tanks is unusual in any way. Mr. Williamson said there is nothing unusual andexplained the criteria used to size the tanks. Ms. Coppers said it is also based on the topography of the community.
LG pointed out that nothing in the draft bylaw mentions water conservation and wondered if the water problem be solvedthrough conservation. This was discussed.
AP asked Mr. Williamson about Wright-Piece's report from 2019 and its difference from the current recommendation.This was discussed.
AP asked about the replacement of the pumps for the water coming from the reservoir near Wellesley, which wasdiscussed.
LG asked if larger pipes would be required to serve the larger tanks. Mr. Williamson explained that currently this wouldnot be needed but would be in the future, which he explained.
LG asked if other places in town with elevation had been considered for the additional tanks instead of replacing theexisting tanks. Mr. Williamsons said they had looked at other town-owned property, and none are appropriate. Plus, thatwould not reduce the additional height needed on the existing tanks.
LG asked if graphics could be provided to have a visual idea of the height of the tanks and also what shadows would becast. Mr. Williamson shared a drawing of the existing and proposed tank heights for comparison, which was discussed.
There was a discussion ofsiting the tanks and conservation land access.
SO asked for clarification of whether or not the Board would be voting on the height of the tanks, since that is decided bythe water elevation needs. There was a discussion of options regarding the height. He also suggested that the waterconservation issue be considered separately from the tanks issue since they were not related.
Public Comments: Tom Seaman, 100 Highland Street, asked for clarification on what structures would be outside of theheight restriction, and IA explained that it would only be the water tanks. AP pointed out the Select Board's request toallow cell towers. Mr. Seaman asked why the Town was attempting a bylaw rather than a variance for each tower andexpressed concern that input from residents would be limited by this approach. Mr. Williamson said the tank height isdictated by the needs of the community. If the tanks are not allowed, a large part of the community would have inadequatewater service, especially for fire protection. There was a discussion of this issue.
Diana Chaplin, Love Lane, said that the lack of redundancy for the water coming into the town was very concerning andthought this should be resolved before replacing the tanks.
Mario Alagna, 137 Sherborn Circle, asked if the existing pumps are strong enough to service the tanks and if rebuildingone tank has value until all three are done. Mr. Williamson said replacing the pumps is part of the proposed plan, and that
Weston Planning Board Minutes, February 2,2022 Page 3
building the tanks one at a time will not benefit the town for many years. They are recommending doing two tanks at thesame time to expedite the benefits.
Barbara Fullerton expressed concern about the water demand of the proposed 40B development on Rt. 30. Mr.Williamson explained that the issue is serving housing on higher elevations and providing fire protection, and which typesof usage, primarily commercial and industrial, add significantly to water demand. The final size of the tanks will includeany new developments under consideration.
Roy MacDowell, 156 Highland, said he would like the zoningbylaw to limit the height of the tanks to what is needed foradequate service rather than leaving it unlimited. He also said he does not have an issue with emergency communicationstowers on the tank but is concerned about cell towers being allowed.
Motion: LH moved to continue the public hearing to March 16, 2022. LG seconded, and the motion passedunanimously by rollcall vote.

70 Loring Road - Site Plan Approval Amendment - Relocate Driveway at existing 8,517sf RGFA house - Nathanand Lindsay Ott, Applicants
Representation: Joe Skorupa, Lombardi Design; Kevin O'Leary, Jillson Engineering; Jamie Madeja, Permitting Counsel.
Overview: Mr. Skorupa outlined the existing site conditions and the proposed driveway and landscaping changes.
Documents: AS asked who had deemed Loring Road "unsafe". Mr. Skorupa said a report was done by TransportationData Corporation. Ms. Madeja pointed out that not all of Loring Road is unsafe, but that it is less safe for how the ownerswant to use the property. There was a discussion of the conditions on Loring Road.
Mr. Skorupa outlined the tree removal plan.
Discussion: AP referenced the minutes of a 2015 Planning Board meeting where the chair said:
"The Planning Board's initial findings on the proposed driveway would not be reconsidered from the decisiontwo years ago without compelling reasons to change the decision. He wondered what had changed to have thePlanning Board reverse their decision." AP explained that in a 2013 decision, the Board found that "adriveway fronting on Meadowbrook would be counter to the stated goals of site plan approval listed in theTown of Weston Zoning Bylaw, Section 11 Site Plan Approval Standards and Criteria. . . .relocation of thedriveway from the existing cut on Loring to a new curb cut on Meadowbrook would result in a failure topreserve natural or historic features and would fail to minimize tree, vegetation, and soil removal and gradechanges".
AP explained that in 2013 and 2015, the Board denied requests to relocate the driveway. She asked the Board if there hadbeen anything presented that would cause the Board to reverse two previous decisions.
SO, who was on the Board at the time of the previous decisions, said he does not remember why the house was sitedbackwards (rear yard facing the driveway entrance on Loring Road, front yard in the rear). AP explained that thedeveloper said they would have had to remove ledge and more trees to reverse the house orientation relative to LoringRoad and that the current orientation would make sense if the driveway could be relocated to Meadowbrook Rd.
There was a discussion of the issue.
AS said that although there are two previous decisions, he does not see anything wrong with the request and sees no harmbeing done. SO agreed, especially since the neighbors are now in support of the request, which they weren't in 2013 and2015.
LH expressed concem about reversing two previous Board decisions. She does not feel there has been compelling newevidence that circumstances have changed. This was discussed.
LG expressed discomfort with overturning two previous Planning Board decisions but could also see why the decisionsmight be overtumed. She could see both points of view.
Ms. Madeja said the circumstances are different from the previous requests because the previous Board was heavilyinfluenced by residents and the Roads Trust, who felt the developer had not worked with them. Now, the owners haveworked with the neighbors and the Roads Trust to gain support for the change.
Weston Planning Board Minutes, February 2,2022 Page 4
There was a discussion of who the letters of support were from.
LG asked what changed the position of the Roads Trust from previous requests. Ms. Madeja said it was the support of thearea neighbors, and how it was presented. There was a discussion of the Roads Trust's new position.
Mr. Skorupapointed out that the new trees and shrubs proposed along the new driveway will provide additional buffer tothe scenic road.
Mr. Skorupa reviewed the environmental benefits of the proposed driveway change.
KT said Mr. Skorupa's comments were accurate, and she has no concems about the proposed landscape buffering.
Public Comments: There was no public comment.
LG asked if Loring Road feels like the back of the property. KT said the plantings are doing what was intended so she hasno issue with that part of the property.
Mr. Skorupa said they are open to letting go of the maintenance access to the site from Loring Road.
Motion: AS moved to continue the public hearing to March 16, 2022. LH seconded, and the motion passedunanimously by rollcall vote.

Site Discussion: SO and LG asked for the heights and elevations of the existing and proposed tanks, which Ms. Coopersprovided. There was a discussion of the height required for the tanks.
Cat Rock: LG asked why a new tank at Cat Rock cannot be built on the existing parcel. Mr. Williamson explainedthat the topography drops off dramatically from the existing tank, and too much fill would be needed to use theremaining area of the parcel for a new tank. LG suggested that away to build the new tank closer be considered.
LG asked if all the trees would need to be removed from the lay-down area. Mr. Williamson said most of themwould need to be removed and explained why. There was a discussion of the impacts of the topography on theproject.

Weston Planning Board Minutes, March 16,2022 Page 1
SO asked about other areas being used as lay-down areas to avoid cutting down trees.
LG asked that a shadow study be done for all the tanks, and Mr. Williamson said it would be done during finaldesign.
Doublet Hill: LG pointed out that there is a stream near the proposed location of the new tank. Mr. Williamson saidthey have not looked at the wetlands/sensitive species yet.
Proposed Bylaw Discussion: Mr. Gaumond and IA reviewed the basics of the new proposed bylaw, explaining that itallows municipal water tanks to have no height restriction.
AP asked for clarification about whether communications equipment could be placed on top of water tanks, and IAconfirmed that this use would not be allowed under this proposal.
AP asked for clarification of the use of the phrase "any zone".lA explained that the bylaw would apply to business andother zones as well as residential. He also explained that the bylaw is drafted to include only water tanks at this time, butcould be amended in the future by Town Meeting for other utilities.
SO said he feels the lack of a height limit is too open-ended and suggested it be limited by the engineering requirement fora water tank to be to functional. IA said this could be done and would work with the consultants for the appropriatelanguage.
Ms. Bent said she does not think Town Meeting would approve a 200-foot tank, so limiting it in the bylaw might not benecessary.
There was a robust discussion of the height restriction issue.
LG asked if new houses in the Doublet Hill area were required to have pumps. IA said all the houses above the tanks havepumps. Mr. Williamson pointed out that these houses do not have fire protection, although there are pump trucks. ChiefSoar explained the restrictions of the trucks, using trucks to create pressure, and potential problems with water access forfires.
LG asked if having sprinklers helps the water situation, which Chief Soar confirmed, but sprinklers cannot be required forresidential buildings under 14,000sf.
There was a discussion of water needs throughout Town and possible water usage for fires in different areas.
Public Comments:
Tom Seemans, 100 Highland Street, asked if pumps could be used so the tanks could be lower. Mr. Williamson saidpumps could provide pressure for regular use, but fire protection and emergency reserve would be lost. Mr. Seemansasked how concrete would be chosen over metal for Paine's Hill, and Mr. Williamson explained. Mr. Seemans said theneighborhood would prefer that the tank be further into the woods. Mr. Williamson explained the issues for Article 97land. The issue of where to site the tanks regarding impact to neighbors and conservation land was discussed.
Roy MacDowell, 156 Highland Street, said he wants there to be a height limit in the bylaw and would also like to see thetank at Paine's Hill moved further into the woods. He then asked how many peak demands days there are for water, and ifthe engineering report has been peer reviewed. IA said there has not been a peer review, but the report was contracted bythe Town.
Judy Nitsch, 17 Blake Road, suggested the tanks might need to be further from the existing tanks for constructionpurposes (such as blasting). She said this project is needed.
Diana Chaplin, Love Lane, said a publicly available timeline of the process/project would be helpful.
Ms. Bent and Mr. Gaumond pointed out that the tanks are old and failing and suggested that they be replaced with tanksthat will serve the Town for generations.
Mr. Gaumond outlined the process that was used to get to this point in the process. He also pointed out that the SelectBoard is interested in putting communications equipment on the side of the tanks.
SO said he would like to make sure that adding communications towers is discussed and reviewed, rather than makingthem automatically allowed by right.
There was a discussion of approval options for projects and how they might affect this project.
Weston Planning Board Minutes, March 16,2022 Page2
SO and LG said they would like to see the Board have some type of site plan approval for the tanks so items like lights,fencing, etc. would be reviewed. This was discussed.
Motion: SO moved to support a Zoning Bylaw Amendment with the addition of Site Plan Approval and indicatingthat the height be as recommended by engineering requirements. LH seconded.
LG indicated that she would not vote in favor of this motion due to lack of peer review. There was a discussion regardingthe need for peer review.
SO amended the motion to say "support the Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment amended so that the height will bedetermined by the engineer, verified by peer review, and subject to Site Plan Approval." LH seconded the amendedmotion.
The motion passed unanimously by roll-call vote.

Discussion: AP said there had been feedback about the size trigger for an addition, and suggested that the number shouldperhaps be closer to 100% increase in the footprint. SO agreed that the percentage might be too low.
