8.9.2023 Planning Board

We Ready Alex okay welcome to uh August 9th 2023 planning board meeting uh pursuant to the open meeting by law any person may make an audio video recording of this public meeting I'll make transmit the meeting through any media attendees I therefore advised at such recording of Transmissions are being made with a perceived on perceived by those present and are deemed acknowledged and permissible

the city Charter section 9 through 18 mandates at all multiple member bodies develop and adopt rules or policy for public comment we have adopted such a policy which intro provides for citizen input on planning board specific matters at the end of each meeting there's a sign up sheet that is located in the back of the room I'm going to do attendance Gloria Pacheco Beth Andre present Mario luciola Mike various

present and hi John Ferrara president as well we do not have Nina Kruger here today but we do have Patty agya uh administrative Clerk Dan aguya the planner and engineer city engineer Chris Perino assistant planner and we have a forward TV we do have Alex mellow in the back first on Old business we have Road reconstruction Wood Street section 66-185 city ordinance considering the

roadway reconstruction plan and profile of Wood Street Extension then chairman if we can first I would offer that you know this has been tabled for a few months we've been working with the applicant and the engineer I can't offer that he's satisfactorily addressed all the outstanding comments that we had and has provided a list of what requested waivers would be under your rules and regulations so at this time I

would recommend approval as the plan as it's presented and the list of waivers as well but if you would like to ask any questions of the engineer he is here this evening it's a fairly easy Project Extension of Wood Street for approximately 80 feet I believe off of public pressure please give us your name and address for the record please yes Sean Ainsworth uh 187 Bailey Street four of them

as Dan said we've been back and forth with the comments and the design um basically constructing about 120 feet of roadway for access to two single-family homes on the south side um there were some waivers we had asked for again they were in the waiver letter the board cares I can go through all the waivers or we can just refer to the letter that's up to you people um but I think you know we've addressed all

the issues as far as drainage goes um we've done the best we can as far as drainage it's a small area it's confined inside of a an existing paper road which is the extension of Wood Street um and at that we just there's just not that much area to try to meet all the drainage so we've done the best we can to slow the water down and get rid of as much of it as we can

individual homes that we design and have roof drain infiltration systems um so we've reduced the drainage coming off those lots because of that um it's basically it one thing we did do is we shifted the road to the south in order to save a few of the trees on the north side of the road some substantial trees 18 inch trees so we shifted it over to the South so that way it's it's offset it's not

centered but it's offset we've also asked for reductions in the width of the asphalt and asked for elimination of any curb in Cape Cod boom or anything so that way the water just flows off the edge into the uh the rip wrap soils that we have going down into a small collection area at the end it's also rip wrap on it and what has any questions so these two are the only two houses that are going

to be using the extension uh yes Eastern properties yeah yeah these two properties here uh would be the reason for the extension the house on 936 across the street actually faces Wood Street but their driveway comes in off of Preston so I would tend to think they'd have no use to access that area right there uh the the proposed roadway but I would assume because eventually it if they wanted to I guess they could but

I see like you said you got the cult Tech Systems in there and yeah does the board have any questions yeah I just have a couple questions um the so the drainage is going west to east to the bottom portion on that I do know that area has it looks like an open field or something of that to the east of it of these Lots is there any potential of expanding this

road any further to the east or is you're just applying to this I don't know if your owners own that land as well or that area to the East roughly about I'm going to say from where we've shown our straw Waddles it drops off quite a bit almost five or six feet you know sharply and that's where the other side of Wood Street comes up in the asphalt ends okay so that's you know if

you're if you're out there I mean I've been out there a few times and it slopes down and all of a sudden it just drops yeah so initially we were thinking about connecting the two sides but it would have created a greeting nightmare out there because of the drop is anyone in the audience here for this no uh what is Awards pleasure I think emotionally improve the daily construction extension Phillips Street

nice okay so we have the first by Gloria second by Mike all in favor aye any opposed thank you thank you that was easy huh second uh on the old business The Surety reduction Fieldstone Lane Brookfield Terrace and Stony Brook Circle review and discuss survey reduction request for Highland Farms 2 Fieldstone Lane Brookfield Terrace and Stony Brook Circle we have requested um interim as built so that we can

determine you know to make sure everything was constructed completely when you drive out there yes you see pavement but that doesn't tell you that the drainage was installed correctly at the right elevations does water flow downhill so they're in the process of providing that information on an interim as Bill plan so we've yet to receive that so I would just recommend that you table the matter until next meeting and

hopefully we receive it before then we'll have a motion to table this table motion by uh Beth a second second by Mario all in favor aye aye aye opposed okay it's unanimous uh approval of the minute minutes of the June 14th meeting I believe we were all here was everybody is everybody here the July one was it well Beth was the only one that wasn't there I wasn't yep we have a motion to approve the minutes

of June 14th I'll make a motion to approve second nine a second Mike second all in favor aye aye opposed okay on the new business Street renaming Third Street request renaming of a portion of Third Street between Bedford and Borden Street as Gene Baptist LePage Street referred by City Council on June 27 2023.

is there anybody here that wants to give an initial presentation sure yeah and I've got some lettuce also to read thank you Mr chairman my name is Colin dies my address is 560 Race Street I was actually the individual who submitted a petition to the city council and I prepared a few remarks if I may um good evening tonight I stand before you to request a positive recommendation to the city council for a meaningful

change within our community I propose that we honored a legacy of an exceptional individual who have come to research and get to know through that research by renaming a section of our city and that would be the section of Third Street between Bedford and Borden I believe um I believe we're all disappointed over the removal of the Route 79 Memorial without a publicized replacement without

a plan in place of someone who was raised in this community and um sacrificed his life for our country as we consider the renaming of Third Street let us ensure that the memory of the past is preserved and cherished um again this impact of renaming the street to the gene Baptiste the pastry what would have a minimum if not non-existent impact on our residents um just know to my knowledge

and I read The Herald news article there's no residential um houses no residential anything between Bedford to Borden on Third Street I believe there are a few businesses um I don't know if they're here in opposition I don't know if they have to support but if um we don't hear any opposition I heard before the meeting I overheard before the meeting that it may have a slight impact on business

um I'd like to hear from them I'd like to hear from those businesses that are located on Third Street and also overheard there might be and I know we have the overpass being rebuilt I know we that's under the state hands that may come into the city eventually but I don't think this can should be pushed down the road I think we should have um a plan now and I think renaming the

street right here is an overpass and like I said it's going to have very minimum business impact on businesses and no impact on the residents of our community I believe this would be a great choice plan to rename the street for and as we reflect on Mr lepage's history let us remember his selfless service during a critical period let's not forget his Fearless deployment to the Western Front

showcases unwavering commitment to our nation is fitting that we honor his memory by renaming a part of our great city after him again I urge you to consider this proposal with the utmost respect for the legacy of Mr LePage let us let his memory embrace and let this bind us as a community and I know when my uncle will Flanagan was mayor his administration did a lot for a lot for veterans in this community and I

hope that tradition can continue thank you Mr bias anyone else just state your name and address for the record yes thank you my name is Jason Bouchard naraki uh address is 45 Bigelow Street and full disclosure I'm the chair of the Fall River historical commission I am here as a private citizen however um I learned just last week that the of the proposal to rename Third Street after ties LePage um I do feel that

um it is there are different streets or possibly public Plaza that would be more appropriate um just this past February the National Park Service approved the Third Street commercial Corridor historic district that process is a years-long effort between the State Historical commission Property Owners excuse me and the district itself only contains two properties 18 to 33rd Street and 38

to 48 3rd Street it does run from Bedford Street down to North Frontage Street or I guess Pleasant Street on that map those two proper these are residential mixed use or at least 38 to 48 Third Street is residential I believe it's owned by Tony Cordero the neighboring property 18 or 30 is mixed use I believe it does have apartments in there as well but the process to create a historic district is not simple

especially National register you have to meet with the property owners depending on the scale it can take a year it could take two years or more depending on the scope of the of the district and in this case it is a smaller District but historic districts are meant to be expanded over time um the city is in the process of looking at expanding the downtown historic district which is a completely different area

but in this case this particular District the unifying Factor it is named after Third Street which is it runs right through it we have other districts in the city that are based on geography we have the highlands historic district you have the Steep Brook historic district and in some cases we have a Cultural District a historic district like the Corky Road National register District so this process to or at least

to rename the street would undo a lot of that effort that was spent um probably and I would imagine at some expense to hire a preservation consultant to even draft the form I do have a copy I only have one unfortunately but just for two properties on the on the street it is quite substantial what goes into creating a national registered District um so I'm happy to pass this over to you

but I do feel that there is an alternative to our other streets perhaps or a plaza that could be radiant or Mr LePage anyone else good evening please state your name and your address for the record um with Mancini I'm here as a private citizen but I will disclose that I am the co-chair of the historic commission and I do know all the comments that were just made this is short notice for us we

were just made aware of this this happening I myself served in the military in the early 60s so I understand fully the commitment that was made by Mr Baptiste LePage and he should be honored that should not be removed or or destroyed not that memory I know the commitment and particularly when someone gives their lives so that we can actually come here and speak like this freely without government interferences

he put his life on the line for that so his memory should be withheld I agree 150 percent but we also are working very very hard in the city of Fall River to revitalize a lot of the historic properties the historic nature of Fall River and this plan that's being revitalized now is one of probably a half a dozen in the city that are being done that you're both well aware of so I

would myself if I could make a recommendation I was my first the second recommendation was if you could table this to your next meeting that would allow the historic commission to meet get some more data for you and at the next meeting we could present in a full fashion and give you much more data on why and maybe speak with Mr dice if he could come to our we could invite him to

our meeting and find an alternate location for this Memorial even a better Memorial than it than just naming a short Street okay I thank you very much for your time we just have your address sir oh I'm so sorry it's 243 French Street here in Kuala Lumpur okay thank you thank you so much anyone else Dave

foreign page 1144 Bedford Street I'm with director sending and uh his uh his brother Charles LePage who really Earnest went with him so they were together in the war together we have the actual picture of all the people dedicated that went for the first platoon out of Fall River in front of the old Notre Dame Church and we got a lot of info on it uh when this was when the overpass was destroyed I spent 10

close to three months trying to find this sign and nobody knew whoever was I talked to mass transfer trans everything I taught them may not need who's in charge of Charlie Charlie okay and uh they had no clue where the sign was three weeks later I got a phone call a gentleman came in my house and gave me the sign so I have to sign up and I don't care

where it goes but I would like to see him still remembered as uh fighting in World War one as a hero I don't care where it goes I think if it goes to Third Street we were talking before it would be a bit of a hassle for all the people that lived there changing everything there was a proposal that might come out later on on someplace else that it might be able to go

I think that'd be a good thing actually do so you're not opposed if it's not there it's somewhere else whatsoever what about the time frame if it's uh I mean it's going to take a little bit of time to do this but if it takes a little bit of time for the state to transfer that over to the to the city and do another problem whatsoever you are the only relative descendant

from the middle of the page I have two brothers and then there's all everyone else has passed yeah they I talked all of them within the past couple days because I didn't even know this was going on until my landlord this Mario knows um sent the paper to me and I bet it and I said we'll have to be here because I want to see what's going on and I'd really like to see it come up

again I don't know when just I hope it's in my lifetime well I think maybe we should table it till we see what you know what's on the state and yeah what I'd like to at least add is that over the last months the Administration has been working with mass D.O.T about the renaming of some specific lost space this being one of them through that car on the project it was also the northern U-turn was also

named after Edward Joachim who was also another veteran so we've been working with them to determine where should these spaces be relocated to whether it's one of the overpasses one of the underpasses which is an artist display kind of a space there's a little bit of a city park that's being added there could be a squared any of the corners there were two very large um signed areas welcoming to the city

there's there are a number of places I think that would be a little bit more Grand and a little bit more fitting close to where the initial dedication spot was and it's important to understand that the dedications that took place these were through the com wealth of Massachusetts these were not dedicated city of Fall River spaces that's why currently now that land is owned by the state so we are we're kind

of at their whim determining where they go if this was at the point where it's become city property then it would just be an internal thing so we would ask for patients in trying to determine where this location is if there's not a specific reason that Third Street is being considered like is there if he grew up on Third Street or if there was some significance to the location of third why not fourth

why not fifth it could be a number of streets if there's nothing specific to third I can't see why we can't wait and find something a little more substantial and Grand so that we don't end up with a sign that gets lost in the middle of a state highway somewhere so you know it is very important that we acknowledge our veterans their service and their history that they've been able to

provide for us so this isn't something that should just be jumped into so I think table in the matter you can always just send it back to the council without recommendation positive or negative I don't think it's if there was nowhere else to do it and Third Street had some meaning then then you could think about it a little bit differently but you haven't been presented with that information yeah I'm just I'm just

thinking if we kick it back to them and then it gets shuffled again and then back to Whatsapp cabling it keeps it within us yeah okay we can just keep table until we between Mike and so on find out uh you know a logistical we may be able to get it resolved you know you know put it on the on the front burner with the state so at least we know where

it's going to end up it's not going to get constructed yet our signs won't be placed with the project but we could have specifically we're going up on the porch very shortly okay and it's just a weigh in for just one second I know both these bodies uh individuals I've actually uh my firm who who's located here in Fall River ldd collaborative did the preservation Society historical district in his in in the uh the

Highland area so I do understand the process to that that being said I think the dedication of just a road to Mr LePage is worth a lot more than just what his sacrifices were than just a dedication of a road and again we're the Landscape Architects and urban designers on the Route 79 project we we knew exactly that sign we knew exactly what was going to happen with that sign there's a process

you know this that highway or that land was City owned then it was transferred over to the state then it was transferred over to the Federal Highway now it's going back to the state and then it's finally going to be to the city and so as we mentioned in the southern U-turn area there is going to be a Plaza in that area where there's going to be artists place to it we've

actually dedicated six panel areas for historical whatever it might be the city decides to but very similar to the Spaghetti ramp Gateway we have some historical I think it would be more of an honor to your family to Mr LePage and for the city and for the other individual who had passed away sacrificed their life to have something much more Memorial in those areas and so they weren't forgotten they'll never be

forgotten but I think they also deserve the proper respect and Memorial of that instead of just design so a lot of this stuff has been you know in the process and it takes a little time but I think that would probably be the best solution to this and it wouldn't have any impacts on any of their businesses or any of the you know Associated component of it and I think it's a much more glorious

opportunity that the city can Embrace so hopefully that's I I agree and I think since you're not in that much of a how you just want you just want peace of mind that is going to go somewhere yes where where you're going to be happy with with when it's going where it's going whatever it goes and I believe that this scenario that we had here have here we spoke about earlier I think

that's I think that's definitely a that's definitely a plus that's you know like Mike said That's you couldn't honor them in a better way than with visibility like that excuse me excuse me so our our particular uh design we were brought on board to do up to 25 so what we did is we dedicated space there and at the end of the day that space will be transferred over to

the city itself to figure it out more specific this space yeah so we're the we're the uh the overpower the new overpasses right now it's being built it's um pretty much adjacent or perpendicular to the pier itself and so that's a plaza area and so what we did is on the uh the 25 conceptual design of this that this is a great opportunity not only for artist space but historical there's uh all

these different components of signage way finding and historical elements to it and so what we were thinking is that while it's being replaced or being removed on President's Avenue why don't we relocate it over here and create a dual Plaza space for to represent is that always a plan yeah yeah it's it's actually both of these gentlemen will be remembered there is that the proposal in

your lot you'll landscape so so in the in the in the planet itself as I mentioned just before the city owned this land before and then it became a highway for the dedication way back when about a 200 years ago before there was a highway like I said it was a commonwealth uh it is yeah it was Commonwealth dedicated areas yes and so um now when you get uh Federal funding

it goes from the city owned to an elevated Highway Route 79 that's a state highway and then you get Federal funding associated with that said Highway and so then it gets transferred from State um from City to state state to Federal Federal back to State and then State eventually back to the city and so we can do whatever we want with it it's my recommendation that we dedicated to the two fallen heroes

um and basically honor them much more than is having a sign or just much more than just having a roadway named that you said fallen heroes I would like to my personal opinion is to keep these two gentlemen's name somewhere yes was there a rendition we can get of your proposal when you did that so that we could help the community decide if that's befitting or not is that possible well we don't

have we have basically identified the space as what it's for not what the ultimate uh goal is going to be the finished product but what I would recommend is you know I was just speaking with Mr LePage as a family member that they have old photos and similar to the Gateway project the spaghetti ramp I don't know if you've been up to the plaza uh right off of the spaghetti ramp Route 79 going basically

South to the right there are all these Planet these these boards that are out there historical boards it tells you about the history of the city of Fall River and so we've dedicated six places underneath this overpass I was recommending or I would recommend that we incor incorporate some of the information you've you provided with a history of this instead of just having a name or just a person's name associated

with it because again when we research this and we look for it there's very little information and I mean it's it's uh um it doesn't honor the individual just saying a plaque's name but give some a little context of what he did and what his service was in his ultimate sacrifice so that's kind of what I was suggesting that that would be underneath the overpass at the end of the day okay

and that's not going to conflict with the prior landscape no you submitted I just want to make sure that we don't we don't think it's going to go there and then the day comes and that's already assigned something else no it's just a it's just a holding space that's what I want to confirm yeah so we're at the very beginning of this project yeah that's why these things have been being discussed and where

where could we add these things so we'll we'll try and speed that process up so that we can accommodate you know both the uh the applicant and the family as well as to try and get this result I would like to table and get more information idea I'd like to just see and I think the community should probably see it and weigh in on it you can see most of these

plans actually if you go to massdot Route 79 Fall River and if you go right down to the landscape lands it's probably we literally just finished um it's almost 1100 plan review uh and we just passed it in Friday but that's the 100 yeah and so there's early submission packages but as you know the the the time frame is roughly 2026 that this thing is going to be done hopefully

by sooner than that we'll have as the city ownership of that land or understand what the ownership is going to look like but right now it's it's on a table that that overpass in the plaza is going to be owned by the city and so it'll be up to them you know they have full ride of what they can do in those particular spaces so that was recently submitted yeah okay yeah and when you when

dedicated to an individual and did you take that into account I can't make I can't make the uh the bull I can't make the Bold uh notion of me I don't have the authority to say hey you should call this I make the recommendations what you should do but I don't have the authority to say who's going to say right but like when we submitted it when yeah the firm you know

some of the plans for that sure yeah yeah and they were moving this overpass I was honoring a certain individual a little phone number so I would like more information here personally and if you get any of that I'd appreciate it yeah now what we just discussed just out of curiosity would that uh please the three gentlemen that just spoke earlier Mr Dyess I mean I know you were in favor of

that but I think you were more in favor of of just keeping his memory alive and honoring it and I think this will help you too gentlemen as well because with what you're trying to do and down there and I think Mr LePage I think that would be like we stated you know a better uh location and more descriptive like Mike was saying if we get him on a plaque and

get some detail about what it was apparently it was a guy has had some information on on him Mike said he looked it up and could get very little so by hopefully getting one of them boards we could get a nice description you've got plenty of stuff right yeah all right so we're going to be looking for you do that because his his brother actually went with him and in 1988 and full of Heaven Knows had

a story about his brother who was uh told about his War stuff and how remember Jimmy Rogers cigar place anybody okay he used to drive to that place every single morning and buys the guys for the day on a bicycle never had a license he went there one time and the kids stole the bicycle it was old chase the kid down the street caught him and held him until the cops came

okay so the page name is is known throughout a lot of them built most of the buildings in the city the Muslim basins I got I got a ton of stories again I'd sat on many awards and I commend everybody that's here your heart's in the right place and I think we can come up with a solution that really truly honors both parties and their than the the people of this

community so thank you for coming out thank you I just got to read I've got three letters that I'm going to read um one is Jeffrey goudreau good afternoon members of the form of planning board I'm writing in support of the proposed street name change of Third Street through Gene Baptist LePage Street we must honor the legacy of Mr LePage and I believe this location best serves this idea please make a

positive recommendation back to the city council this project is a no-brainer and the city should fully support this Jeffrey goudreau the only thing we request uh if someone's going to send emails is to please add your address on the bottom of it so that we know for the record uh where the individual resides second one is by Gabriel Amaral again no address um good afternoon my name is Gabriel

Boomer Amaral and I'm writing in support of the renaming of a portion of the Third Street to one of Mr Gene Baptist Le page I hope you give this a yes vote as he is deserving of such an honor to keep his name alive in our great city thank you for very much for your time Gabriel Boomer Amaral I've got another one Nelson Vasquez from 210 Sunset Hill Fall River hello

everyone due to my work schedule this evening I couldn't be there tonight to say a few words about the very important topic on tonight's agenda I am submitting my input to you this way because the topic is very important to Fall River and its people I really wish I could be there tonight for Gene even though I didn't serve with him I am a serving I am serving him tonight we naming the street

after Gene LePage Baptist is uh is something he deserves because this topic involves one of our own that deserves proudly that served proudly as we know by now his recent dedication has been torn down due to a project that I believe is isn't going to be mainly for Fall River residents even though the new Route 79 project is located in our city it's going to be mainly for Rich out of town folks

renaming the street shouldn't be a hard thing to figure out supporting this agenda item is not only what's right but it keeps Gene lepage's Legacy alive which is Honorable supporting our veterans in the past present and future is something that we all can agree on for example back on May 30th 2011 a city embarked on something similar like this by dedicating the post office downtown to honor army Sergeant Robert J

Barrett therefore let's do something for a forever that honors Gene LePage Baptist Valor and commitment to our nation by renaming a street after him thank you all for your time and attention tonight sincerely Nelson Vasquez Okay so we've got that uh um so do I have a motion to table this is mental information okay motion by Gloria second by Beth all in favor aye aye aye opposed

23-1556 own applicant Around the Clock Services Inc property location 189 and 197 Ridge Street assessors map g-06-0047 so these are the Chairman's favorite types of uh a r plans so as you know the applicant goes to the zoning board of appeals process and they are allowed by special permit to subdivide existing residential dwellings that were in existence prior to 1954. this is one

of those we announced that they add some additional easement language and detailed easements to ensure that you know both property owners are aware of what they're getting into when they do buy uh when they do buy these Parcels so if you look at the actual paper plan there is a larger scale detail that calls out the easements who that's for the benefit of and their dimensions in areas as well

yeah was it this already subdivided no two different houses yeah right one one lot it received a special permit already okay sorry I remember looking at this house oh is that right yeah and I remember the access and I remember that I remember all about it yeah and you clearly showed no interest because you don't like this you know that all right do I uh do I have a motion to approve

rules and regulations so they've been they've been dealing with these as you know as they come in where this is already an existing facility for retail sales they are entertaining this so and then on top of that for about the last year or so we have we have draft new zoning bylaws for these types of facilities whether they be retail cultivation or Manufacturing that is on hold until the state changes

we're hoping that the state law changes to mimic what we were already going to implement in zoning and then we don't have to go through that process this isn't the one behind the mill and the car wash this is where salty used to be over there yeah cosmopolitan isn't that like yes this is Cosmopolitan oh it is it should be the upper floors of that building oh okay oh okay okay uh what is the boards
