Scully, Chairman Robert Panico, Vice Chairman Patricia McDermott, Clerk David McCarthy, Member Kathy McCormack, Member Also Present: Thomas Houston, Professional Services Corporation Laura Snead, Town Planner Daren ]Lardor, (Administrative Assistant Chairman Scully called to order the Planning Board meeting of April 710, 2019 at /000 P.M. A motion was made by Mr. Scully and seconded by Ms. McDermott to open the public meeting. Motion Approved 5-0. Mr. Scully introduced the new Planning Board member, Ms. Kathy McCormack. First item was taken out of order from on the on the Agenda (i) 290 PINE STREET (Sunrise Erectors) Informal Discussion (Paul Schneiders, Attorney and Paul Brodmerkle, Engineer) Paul Schneiders and Paul Brodmerlde explained that the Building Commissioner has found some violations and requested that they be remedied. Violations include an access road around the property was less than 24 feet, which is not adequate for the Fire Department due to outdoor storage. The other concern was the parking was disparate from what was originally allowed, since the outdoor area was being used for storage not parking. Finally, there was no special permit sought for outdoor storage. They are going before the Zoning Board soon to approve the site plan modification to bring it into conformance and to get a special permit for reduced parking. The total required spaces for the building square footage includes 283 spaces, which is much more than the use has ever needed. They are providing 149. The Fire Department has no problems with the fire access proposed. The bulk of the outdoor storage will largely move to a new facility in Mansfield, which will be closing towards the end of April. Ms. McDermott: There were staff parking on the street before, and the new plan will alleviate staff parking on the street.

Tom Scully suggested knowing the number of full-time employees before going before the Zoning Board. Paul Brodmerkle is confirming that there is no peer review and no recommendation from Planning Board needed. Planning Board confirmed this. Next item on the Agenda ( 2 ) wo ROYALL STREET (Trillium Brewing) — Site Plan Review (Brian S. Grossman, Bowditch & Dewey, LLP) Proposed plan will relocate the Trillium Operations from Shawmut Road to loo Royall Street. Mr. Grossman: Special permits will be needed for the mix of uses: light manufacturing for brewing/storage/warehousing, a retail space, and a Soo -seat restaurant and tap room. An outdoor patio is proposed (200 seats) and an outdoor event space. The total number of people "seats" at any time will be 500 - seats. If the patio is open, only 300 indoor seats of the tap room will be used. The proposed project is mostly a reuse and repurposing of the existing building and existing parking, without minimal exterior changes to the exterior of the building and existing parking. The parking lot will be restriped to meet current ADA codes for width and handicapped spaces. They have provided a land bank parking plan to show that 726 spaces be provided on site if needed. This is not expected to be needed for the proposed uses. Just over 400 spaces are provided in the proposed plan. Mr. Scully asked about the staging and phasing of construction. Trillium: The first phase will be to open the tap room and front of house operations. There will be a smaller production on site, with transitioning the full brewing operations to Royall Street over the next five years. Mr. Scully: Will there be any additional grain storage outside? Trillium: Not in the short-term, but likely in the long-term. Mr. Scully: How will construction be handled at the same time as restaurant operations? Trillium: There is enough buffering with the size and layout of the building and parking to be able to have separation. Mr. Scully: Asks about numbers of expected customers. Trillium: Varies a lot, but number of transactions are around 200 to 300 people a day today. This is a larger scale, so expecting maybe 500 people on a low day — with maybe 3,000 people on a really high event day. Ms. McDermott asked about pedestrian and cyclist accommodations.
