“Motion made and 2nd that the SPECIAL PERMIT be GRANTED, AS AMENDED with the conditions as follows: 1. That the yellow backplates on the signal heads at the intersection of the Raytheon driveway and Presidential Way be installed prior to issuance of an occupancy permit temporary or otherwise, 2. The approved Plans of Record (collectively, the "Site Plans") are the plans entitled "Site Plans - Proposed R&D/Lab Development, 215 Presidential Way, Woburn Massachusetts" dated October 8, 2019, revised November 25, 2019, prepared by VHB and consisting of Sheets C-1 thru C-7, and Sheets Sv- 1, L-1, L-2 and SL-1.; 3. The Petitioner shall construct and improve the Project in substantial conformance with the approved Site Plans. Minor modifications of the building footprint are permitted within the Permissible Building Area denoted on the Site Plans. Building footprint alterations which extend outside of the Permissible Building Area and result in an increase in the maximum permitted Gross Floor Area as denoted on the Site Plans shall require review and approval by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 Site Plan Review. Minor field modifications may be authorized directly by the Building Commissioner with such modifications including, but not limited to the following: 1) adjustments to placement of underground utilities (subject to City Engineer review); and, 2) minor adjustments to the location of curbing, transformers and generators, parking lot and pedestrian lighting, landscaping location (no reduction in quantity is permitted without City Council authorization). In the event that the Building Commissioner determines that the plans filed with the Building Permit application are not a Minor Field Modification and are not in substantial conformance with this Decision, the Applicant shall petition the City Council for authorization in accordance Section 12 Site Plan Review.; 4. The Applicant proposes to maintain the existing curb cut situated along the easterly property boundary adjacent to 225 Presidential Way. While this existing curb cut varies slightly from the allowed driveway width and intersection radius permitted under Section 8.4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds that the design is sufficient to accommodate access and egress to the Premises, and, therefore, no modifications to the Site Plan are required.; and 5. The Site Plan shall be revised to reflect the installation of vertical granite curbing at the site driveway connection to Presidential Way and along the driveway connection and parking spaces serving the visitor parking drop-off loop along the front of the proposed building. Curbing along sidewalks shall be integrated monolithic concrete curbing and all other curbing shall be precast concrete curbing. This mixture of curbing type is consistent with the curbing materials presently utilized within the parking field at 195 Presidential Way and will support a continuity of design between the two properties, Campbell - Yes, Concannon - Yes, Ferullo - Yes, Gaffney - Yes, Gately - Yes, Higgins - Yes, Mercer-Bruen - Yes, Tedesco - absent, Anderson - Yes..”
