Attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or transmissions are being made whether perceived or unpreceived by those present and are deemed acknowledged and permissible. The city ch uh charter section 9-18 mandates that all municipal

We have adopted such policies which is short provides for citizens input on the planning board specific matters at the end of the meeting. There is a signup sheet at the back of the room for anyone to sign. I'd like to proceed with um attendance. To my right we have Gloria Pico present. Mario present.

Michael Far is present. Also with us are the um our administrative assistant Daddy and also our city engineer and planner Dan Aguier in the office is our assistant uh city planner and also from Fred TV. With that we'll go right into the agenda.

The the agenda is actually posted uh on the website. Notice um is here to give the city of U planning board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, April 9th um 2025 at 5:30 here in the first floor hearing room one government center fall river Massachusetts to consider the following. Our new business number one is a form a application to endorse a plan believed not to require an approved

ANR plan. The file number is number 25-1618. And we will let Dan Aguiar explain that to the public and to the board. So the plan that you have before you today um is with regards to the subdivision of this parcel uh located on Duth Street. There is currently a single family dwelling number seven that is located on the very far west of the parcel. The applicant appeared before the zoning board of appeals, was granted

zoning relief with regards to frontage and area in an R8 zoning district, and then has followed that up with the submission of this ANR plan uh for your endorsement this evening. On the plan, you will see under uh item number 10 under the survey notes. Purpose of this plan is to divide assessor's parcel E1631 with an area of 10,564 square ft into parcel 1 with an area of 5,275 square ft and parcel 2 with an

area of 5,289 square ft. You will also see that uh there is a note with regards to that this this plan is subject to a variance granted on January 16th, 2025 by the Fall River Board of Appeals and reported in the Bristol County Registry of Deeds book 1128 page 348. And then uh lastly a note that you are all uh comfortable with and have been asking and commenting about under the signature page you will see

that there is a note that states the above endorsement is not a determination as to conformance with zoning regulations. So with all of those items being addressed I can offer that the plan is in conformance with the plan that relief was granted for and that the plan submitted meets all of the requirements for endorsement of an ANR.

With that, if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

I apologize. I should have given you the owner application on this. The owner applicant is Kimberly J. Smith, PR of Estate of Ronald J. Uh, Canard. Uh, the property's location is 7th Street. The assessor's map is E-16, lot number 31. Uh, all members of the planning board have received all of these plans. um these applications and agenda and meeting minutes prior uh to attending this at that point. Um we'll

open up uh the discussion with the other planning board members.

No, everything seemed as a variance.

Can I make a motion we approve the ANL plan as submitted? A second. Roll call to my right. Yes.

Yes. And Michael Far is yes. We go on to the second one. Again, it's a form a application to endorse a plan not believed to require approval of an ANR land plan of land. The file number is 25-1619.

the owner applicant G toalt uh real estate property is located at 102 Mason Road. The assessor's map is C-08 lot number 14.

So again, submitted to you is an ANR approval not requires subdivision plan uh seeking endorsement of the subdivision proposed at the location as stated by the chairman uh regarding the dwelling at 102 Mason Street. You'll see on the plan that the proposal is to subdivide this overall parcel into three, leaving the existing two family dwelling on lot one with 8,000 square ft, creating lots two and lot three. uh

plan note six. It's rather lengthy, but that gives you the same general purpose of this plan uh subdividing this lot 14 into three parcels. And it goes on to describe the areas and frontage for each. Uh note number seven, you will see the appropriate reference for the grant of relief that has been recorded in the registry of deeds in book 1147 page 82. And again, under the endorsement box for the planning board,

no determination as to compliance with the applicable zoning bylaws is made, intended, or implied as a result of this endorsement. With that, I offer that this plan is in conformity with the plan that was previously granted relief and I would recommend it to be endorsed.

I just had one question, Dan. Uh the uh lot number three I'm assuming pretty easy assumption uh that is frontage on clip street and for lot number two uh it's a mis street. Is that correct? That is correct. Okay, that's it. I yield.

And and through the the variance both of these lots um are proposed to have single family homes built on them. So Okay. nothing more than the single families.

And it's and it is it is a two f designated for a two family. It is a two family district. Yes. Okay. Thank you.

With that, we proceed to a vote to my right. Okay. I'll make a motion to approve. I'll second Mario's motion.

Let's do a roll call to my right. Yes.

Yes. And Michael Ferris. Yes. As well.

We'll move on to application number three. It's a form A application to endorse a plan believed not to require approve A and R plan file number 251620. That's huge. The uh owner and applicant again is real estate. The property is located at 72 Belmont Street. It's assessor's map M-24 lot 7.

Again, board members, this is uh a submission of an ANR uh endorsement for a former subdivision with regards to the subdivision of the real estate located at 72 Belmont Street. This is an existing three family dwelling that was located to the far north of the overall parcel. The applicant appeared before the zoning board of appeals requesting relief with regards to the frontage requirement in this zoning district

where 100 ft is required. That was the relief needed with regards to subdivision. So you'll see lot one has proposed 12,256 ft which is in excess of what's required in the district. Lot two is 12,986.

And this uh too is in a single family.

This this is in a single family zoning district. That is correct.

With that, I recommend that we make a motion.

I make a motion we approve the ANR plan as submitted. A second. Roll call. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Um item number four, we will um review the March 12th, 2025 meeting minutes for approval. I've read through them.

Okay. Can I get a endorsement?

Well, Patty, everybody here was at that meeting. Yeah. Okay.

A couple minutes. I was here, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Okay.

Would you like to endorse the plan? Make a move. I make motion to end. I second a motion to adopt the minutes. We will do a roll call. Yes. Yes. Mario. Yes.

Michael Ferius. Yes. The meeting minutes for March um I'm sorry for March 12th are accepted. Item number five, we have citizens input. Three minutes per citizen. We have nobody in the audience.

Well, we have Chris, our assistant planner, in the audience. Um, so I would motion to uh adjurnn. Does anybody want to motion to adjurnn? I make a motion or I second your motion to adjurnn.

You have to make it. He can't make a motion. I make the motion we adjourn.

All right, let's do a roll call. Yes.

Have a great night. Thank you, Chris.
