MEMORANDUM
DATE:
May 16, 2007
TO:
The Honorable City Council
FROM:
David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT:
Amending Zoning Ordinance
Harvard Street
Council Ordinance 07-173
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on
May 15, 2007, held a Public Heading on the above zone change request.
Mr. Jim Kiser, P.E. representing John Largay and the helm of Abraham Shapiro
indicated that they were requesting a rezoning of land off Harvard Street to a
residential district. Their intent was to extend Harvard Street to create conforming lots.
It was working with City Staff that the concept ro reecho the commercial parcel to
match the adjacent High Density Residenbal District. Mr. Kiser indicated no project
plans or concepts have been developed at this point in the process.
Mr. John Largay, partial owner, indicated he owned this parcel with the heirs of
Abraham Shapiro. He has a shared access agreement with the abutting property to the
west. He understood that there would be concerns about commercial development
abutting on residential homes and has agreed to a compromise on land use to gain
access but retain some value. Mr. Largay indicated he would possibly build a single
family home on 2 -1/2 acres and as far as his co-owners, he would presume multifamily
or condominiums. Mr. Largay indicated the residential uses would be single family or
multi -family condominiums and the commercial remainder would possibly be Eastern
Maine Vocational School development, not a mobile home park. Mr. Largay indicated he
could not support any limitations on development density as it would further impact the
lands'value.
People speakino In opposition
Pete Lawn 137 Dartmouth Street wanted to know more about what was
proposed, what would the potential traffic be, and if there was weband on the
Property?
John Cangelosi 169 Juniper was concerned about the variety of uses such as
large apartments, mobile home parks, and about traf0c Impacts and would rather have
college uses with no access to Harvard Street.
Susan Hall 131- Dartmouth Street Indicated she would rather see the vocational
school additions with access to Sylvan Road than multifamily impacts directly on this
quiet neighborhood.
Amy Cangelosi 169 Juniper - asked if the single family neighborhood would be
protected from multi -family traffic volumes?
Errol Cleveland - 78 Harvard Street was opposed to any project if the developer
did not support of mobile homes.
Planning Officer David Gould indicated this request was a follow-up to
discussions the City has had concerning the extension of Harvard Street. The Staff had
indicated they would not support the extension of Harvard Street if it were to serve
commercial traffic into the residential neighborhood. The Staffs position is that
commercial development should be accessed via Sylvan Road.
The Planning Officer reviewed the history of the City's Land Use Policy and
zoning for this area including the 19601 dustrial development of Sylvan Road the
change to commercial of that area in the late 1980's and GC&S zoning in 1991. Mr.
Gould indicated the Planning Office felt that high density residential zoning would be
more compatible with the residential neighborhood than a heavy commercial zone that
allows hotels, auto dealerships and similar uses.
The Board members indicated that with an unknown density, unknown project
plans, and no assurance as to traffic levels they could not support changing the zone
that was inconsistent wlth the Comprehensive Plan that would potentially allow access
to the single family neighborhood. Retaining the commercial zoning with access only to
Sylvan Road was preferable in their view. The Board voted unanimously to not
recommend the adoption of the Proposed zone change request to the City Council as
indicated in Council Ordinance 07- 173.
