http://www.franklinmatters.org/2015/01/public-hearing-pond-st-zoning-bylaw.html
Please attend the Town Council meeting this Wednesday.
We encourage the public to come to the Town Council meeting on Wednesday, January 7th, at Town Hall at 7:00 pm if you have concerns about a food drive-through at the 150 Emmons Street downtown location.
Our hope is to convince the Council to change the wording in the RFP so a food drive-through is not an option at this busy intersection.
This will be the final discussion before the Council votes on the RFP. Come make a difference and have your voice heard.
The Town Council agenda has a couple of key items regarding the town property.
- Sale of 150 Emmons St
- Rezoning of 44 Pond St
You can let your voice and interests be heard by showing up to the meeting.
The Town Council has four options on the Emmons St property. The options were published as
1. Sell the land for $500,000 and allow the developer to construct anything on the property allowed by zoning.
2. Sell the land for $500,000, but restrict the use. (The discussion at the Economic Development Committee was whether to allow for VSEs (Vehicle Service Establishments) for any use or not allow VSEs for fast food/coffee uses?
3. Sign a Land Disposition agreement and allow the developer 180 days to find a tenant (s) acceptable to the Council.
The Town Council also has a public hearing scheduled for 7:10 PM on the rezoning of the Pond St property. Questions should be raised, answers asked for, opinions stated.4. Take no action at this time.

Artistry Kitchen Closes
I had picked up through the grapevine that Artistry Kitchen had closed as of Saturday night, Jan 3rd. I walked by Sunday morning to see if there was a sign posted about this. There wasn't. Looking through the windows on the corner what was noticable was the tables instead of being set as they impeccably were for business, were bare.
The photo looks like it was created with a special effect and was only the reflection of the background on the glass window as I looked in to the empty tables.
An email from the recent owners of Artistry Kitchen was shared by a Franklin Matters reader:
If you do have a gift card, there is a process for redemption/refund.

The photo looks like it was created with a special effect and was only the reflection of the background on the glass window as I looked in to the empty tables.
An email from the recent owners of Artistry Kitchen was shared by a Franklin Matters reader:
It is with sadness, but much pride that Elissa and I announce that we have left Artistry Kitchen. We have been out of the Bistro since October and fulfilled our last catering responsibilities as of December 31st.
The CEO of the company has decided to take the company in a different direction than the one we originally signed on for and therefore we have decided to pursue other opportunities.
We are immensely proud of the work we, along with the rest of the Franklin team have done to create what we believed was a wonderful place to experience great food, in a great atmosphere with top notch culinary and hospitality talent.
We will always be so grateful to our friends, family and the community for embracing our ideas with open arms and for supporting us every step of the way. This journey would not have been the same without your constant words of encouragement and the many visits you paid to us over the last few months.
It has been a very difficult decision to walk away from Artistry after putting so much love, sweat and tears into the project. However, when faced with the prospect of changes that WE believe would compromise the integrity of what was built, we knew it was the right choice.
We are looking forward to our next adventure and hope to share the next chapter with you very soon!
If you do have a gift card, there is a process for redemption/refund.
For anyone who has Artistry Kitchen gift cards, call Spencer at the restaurant between 9 and 4pm at 508-530-7440 and he will refund your gift card. If he does not answer the phone just leave a message and he will return your call.

Trial Attorneys Bring End Distracted Driving Programs To Local High Schools
Trial Attorneys Bring End Distracted Driving
Programs To Local High Schools
Programs To Local High Schools
The Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (MATA) will bring its "End Distracted Driving" (EDD) program to
- Brockton High School on Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 9:52am and 12:53 pm
- Medford High School on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at 8:30 am
- Norwood High School on Thursday, January 7, 2015 at 9:54 am
The program will be headed by MATA President Charlotte E. Glinka and Philadelphia Attorney Joel Feldman, who created the EDD program after losing his 21-year old daughter Casey in 2009 as a result of the actions of a distracted driver.
Attorney Glinka remarked, "MATA is proud to continue to support the efforts of Attorney Joel Feldman in bringing the End Distracted Driving program to high schools throughout the state. Over the past few years we have reached out and engaged in a dialog with thousands of teens about the dangers of distracted driving. There couldn't be a more important message about driving safely and saving lives".
MATA Past Presidents Timothy C. Kelleher III and C. Michael Conley, as well as MATA Executive Committee Member Saba Hashem have volunteered in the last few years to bring the EDD presentation, created by Attorney Joel Feldman, to as many schools as possible and will continue to do so going forward.
MATA has made this ongoing volunteer program a priority as an organization and the EDD events are a prominent part of MATA's public service projects statewide. As trial lawyers, MATA members believe in safety on every level and this important program is educating those most at risk – young and inexperienced drivers.

Live Reporting: Planning Board - Jan 5, 2015
Present: Rondeau, David, Halligan, Padula, Carroll
Absent: Ballarino
#2 - Franklin Rod and Gun Club
81-P Plan submitted, all in order per Planning Dept
motion to accept, seconded, passed
motion to recesss until 7:15 when the public hearing can be opened
moved, seconded, passed
motion to suspend the reading, seconded, passed
Jeff Nutting, provides the overview on the intent behind the zoning change
allowing condonimums would potentially allow the property to be more marketable
the upside of a multi use is less traffic than other possible business uses, down side is it has been woods for many years so any change will be noticed.
Elaine Murphy, abutter to property
question on how the zoning change would affect her property
if the town approves the bylaw, can I come in a few years to sell my land and
been here since 1973, the woods are beautiful, they do many things for us
we have other land in the town that can be developed
Nutting - was a proposal back in 2007 and that went no where, another later with more design docs, it was just a plan, did not go anywhere
there is no change to the set backs or to the nature of the land, wet lands, etc.
no development near Walker Road due to the wetlands
the constrain is mostly to the middle where it is not wetland
the Town is looking to make the zoning change
we do not property in the downtown, property is already designated as open space, etc.
we are looking for additional tax dollars, a $500-600K annual revenue for the property would be good for our budget needs
it is a balencing act
if this is approved by the Council, then it would be another RFP to see what would be proposed. All that would have to be worked out for approval by the Council
it takes a 2/3 vote to change the zoning and a 2/3 vote to sell the property
Padula - the set backs will remain
Murphy - will the footprint be the same?
Padula - it depends upon what the developer proposes. This is just the first step in trying to make the property more commercial
If you had more than 5 acres, you could make that proposal
this is the only property that is zoned office use
Nutting - the hardship issue would be before the Zoning Board of Appeals, we are not making that proposal.
if we could get a hotel on that site we would be happy
if we could get condos, we could be happy
we would like to get some residential
there are height limits, 3 floors by right, 5 by special permit
there is topology coming into play where the land slopes away from Pond St to i495
Stephanie Pazniokas
trying to get clarity on what may happen
940 acres of economic opportunty area in Franklin and this is only 15
why is there so much for this now
Nutting - economic development zone already built out at about 98%
this is our land and not yet developed, all the other land is already owned by private owners
Stephanie
furthering questions on other changes from the stipulations
Nutting - if the town were to sell the land, we would stipulate requirements
could that make further changes 40 years from now, maybe but not right now
but then they would have to go through the whole process again
We are better off getting condominiums than we are getting apartments
Stephanie - Once the decision is made, we are trusting that the decisions will be followed through with
Nutting - the Council will ultimately make the decision on the change, and the nature of the change, and if we sell and how we sell
Halligan - there is more in the existing zoning allowed. It is scary. We are not changing the zone itself
Nutting - we are adding a use
Elaine - Could you only sell the buildable land and keep the rest?
Nutting - If they own and they can't build on it, they still pay taxes on it. From a practical sense
another resident -
given the Starbucks, it could be a mess
Padula - when the developer comes before, the discussion would includes those factors
Nutting - Weds the Council holds a public hearing, then a second one per law. If approved, then the Council would consider re-issuing the RFP
a hotel would bring us the most tax revenue; less traffic impact than a business as the time of arrivals and departures would be staggered
motion to close the hearing, seconded, passed
motion to recommend to the Council, seconded, passed
Padula - recused himself
Rondeau moved from Associate to Member
Ballarino though absent can still review the material and video to be eligible to vote on the project
Don Norman - engineer provides an overview
was Taco Bell with Wendy's
are outside the limited site plan modification requirements
are looking for a site plan modification
lot 1 - Midas
lot 2 - still vacant
lot 3 - Wendy's site
each lot individually owned, an association will own the roadway and maintain it to the current standards
Midas is similar to what was approved by the Planning Board in 2010
maintaining same buffers on wetlands, and retaining wall
actually reduced impervious coverage, much actually the same footprint
Midas auto and tire maintenance, internal tanks/barrels for handling their waste (windshield fuilds, greases, etc.). All the tanks will be above ground and inside the facility. No intent for storage of hazardous wastes outside the facility
There will be a dumpster for general waste and for metal
we are on town water and sewer, drains will address fuilds before going to the sewer system
most of the plantings outside the property are previously approved by the prior site plan, did not want to change what had already been approved
did submit a special permit application
did submit a drainage analysis
Maglio - a couple of questions on some calculations that can be worked out
minor adjustments to the plan to include some additional details that can all be worked out
Wierling - for the next meeting, can you have some presentation boards for the public to view?
some references need to be adjusted for some minor points
did you apply for the zoning board?
Norman - yes, we'll do that this week
what hours do you anticipate the pickups for some of the disposal items?
Marie DelRapo - Board of Trustees of the abutters
worried about the noise issues, did work up some calculations and came up with some 5 decibles higher than what you had come up with
the closest family would be about 30 feet from the property
find a way to buffer the noise other than the chain link fence as proposed
concerned about the fumes? would need to be vented some how?
what is the plan?
Midas - the vehicles are not running while they are maintained
we are only doing light maintenance, no exhaust fumes like you think might be
Marie - garage doors? open or closed?
Midas - garage doors are generally open during the summer?
7-6 or 7-7 something in that area
I like the plan, I just want to make it as accommodating as possible
the building of the retaining wall? would blasting be required?
Nutting - you can ask for a pre-blast survey, this is under the fire chief's control
Midas - current plan is to be closed on Sunday
Marie - dumpster and view from the property?
Halligan - screening of that is one of my concerns
Looking for the Board's help in returning the residential feel, it can cetainly be made better
Don - we proposed an arborvite, we can lok at changing that
Marie - we have residents, looking right down into the property
I would like the fence on the retaining wall be thicker and more screening than what is proposed.
Kelly Fitzpatrick from Franklin Crossing
I am concerned about the noise levels, shrubs,
there are 154 homes to be affected
Halligan - there could have been a Taco Bell there, we are sensitive to the neighbors. Give it a little consideration that something will be going there
There are DEP regulations for what they can do store inside and outside
Bill Laquidera - concerned about the disposal of the tires
Midas - the corporate parent does own tires, so it will be part of our business but it is not our main point of business; the objective is to get it off the site as soon as possible
Halligan - where would you store them?
Midas- maybe in the dumpster area? we'll need to look at. It is a fair concern and I'd like to address it
Marie - presented copies of pictures of dumspter areas in other Midas shops
Midas - I can speak to Warwick, the dumpster tore down the electrical lines so we were in a state of disrepair at the time. It is not an every day occurance
John Carroll - can you put something together to show the residents
Don - yes, we can and will
John - the retaining wall is 7-8 ft high?
Don - the building is about 8 ft above grade at the steepest part
Midas- one AC unit on the roof,
John - could you look at how you cover it?
Midas - if cars remain over night, we generally take them in so there is no tempation overnight
Snow storage in multiple spots, I can add more to show it later
Midas - we may do inspection stickers? we do not have a machine in place but it is possible
Comment on the white pines already planted by the Association, Midas likes it and maybe able to add to what is already there
Could you relocate the AC unit to the ground and thereby remove it from the site line?
Midas - we do have drop offs, it would be gentle at that time of the morning
next meeting, January 26th at 7:15 PM
meeting to be continued

Public Hearing - Pond St zoning bylaw
The Town Council will hold a public hearing on Wednesday to discuss the proposal to change the zoning for the Pond St property.
The property was the subject of an RFP which did not receive any legal responses. It did receive one response but it arrived late and hence was disqualified. It did contain a proposal for more of a mixed use development including residential. The current zoning would prohibit residential. The discussion at the Economic Development Committee meeting concluded with the plan to propose the zoning change to include residential and then if approved, re-issue the RFP to see if there are more takers.
The owners abutting the property were sent the following information to help prepare for the discussion:
