Ms. Karina G. Quinn Town Planner Town of Southborough 17 Common Street Southborough, MA 01772
RE: Waiver Requests for Athletic Field Lighting at Richardson Tennis Courts at Neary School, Southborough MA
Dear Ms. Quinn and members of the Planning Board:
TRAVERSE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, LLC (Traverse) is writing this letter to request a waiver for the following:
1. Relief from Section 174-10 B (2)(a), that all ownership, zoning, use and general location of structure and topography within 300 feet of the property lines of the site or adjacent land contiguously owned within the site is required. It does not appear as all structures, abutting property owners, zoning and uses within 300 feet have been provided. The entire site covers 86 acres and the work area for this project is less than 1 acre. This project has limited impact other than those areas directly related to the tennis court. It is requested that the site plan provided is sufficient. 2. Relief from Section 174-10 B (2)(b)[13] major site plan submission shall include existing tress on the site which are a caliper of six inches or larger. In review of Google street view, it appears there may be more tress with a caliper of six inches or larger than the number of trees shown on the plans. It is requested that trees only located within 25’ of the limit of work are shown. The site is 86 acres and identifying every tree 6” or larger would be cumbersome and other than those located near the limit or work would be impacted. 3. Relief from Section 174-10 B(2)(b)[14) major site plan submission shall include wetlands. The wetlands in question are located well outside the limit of work. Those wetlands that are adjacent and would be impacted by the plan are shown on the plan. It is requested that the site plan provided is sufficient. 4. Relief from Section 174-10 B(2)(b)[15], major site plan major site plan submission shall include drainage, including detailed design data, pipe sizing, etc. The plan includes drainage directly related to the limit of work. There is no drainage or grading work as part of this project. It is requested that the site plan is sufficient. 5. Relief from Section 174-10 B (2)(b) [17], major site plan shall include topography at two-foot contour intervals. Drainage for the entire site would cumbersome and not impacted by this project. There is no drainage or grading work as part of this project. It is requested that the site plan is sufficient. 6. There is no increase in stormwater runoff or alter to the drainage characteristic of the land. 7. Erosion control for any disturbance is indicated on the plans.
Based on the information outlined we are requesting on behalf of the Town of Southborough Parks and Recreation that the following waivers be reviewed and accepted.
Sincerely
