The design of the site is taking into consideration the natural scenic beauty of the location. It's clear that is the applicant's intent. We're essentially highlighting that we've reviewed these criteria, they are met, and we're highlighting the applicant's efforts in recognizing and honoring the scenic beauty of the site >> and preserving. I know I'm saying a lot. Sorry. >> Sorry, Jasmine, if that's >> I can try to write it and send it to you if that helps. >> Yeah, why don't you do that? >> That might be. Yeah. >> And but I would actually change um like in 2.4 for puts site alteration special permit but take out the word criteria because there aren't criteria in the same way that there are in other sections and then what you already have in blue I think we can say the planning board has reviewed the purpose of the site of the site alteration special permit so we're really using the language of the bylaw and then whatever ever Anna comes up with because she's usually good on the fly for things like this.
>> Yeah, >> just don't delete the red stuff because I'm I'm writing and sending you based on this >> and um and conser is conservation conservation's already done, right? >> Correct. I do think it's it might be helpful since the applicant is listening to this. Um, if the applicant is willing to kind of list, you know, I can certainly list them off on my own, but to me, there are particular elements of the site that are honoring the natural landscape. For example, the outdoor fields are meant to create that open space. There's also intentional open space for the public to enjoy. Those are two things I can come up with on my own. Are there others that the applicant want would like to highlight that might relate to this section? Uh I would add the the uh maintaining uh the natural uh forested buffer in all areas possible.
>> And I believe you also designed some outdoor classroom spaces. Is that right? Uh that is envisioned for Yeah. for the um for the nature's edge area. Yeah. >> And I'm sorry that's called the nature's edge. >> Nature's edge is what we've been calling you know the the back yard area which would be the um you know what the public could enjoy. Walking trails. Okay, I'm just going to clean this up really quick and send it to Jasmine and then the board can see it. One second. >> Okay. And I don't I don't see anyone. Well, I can't see the whole board right now. I can't see don't see anyone out there, but if if anyone who has been lurking out there and has a public comment about the YMCA, we the the public hearing is still open. So, but like I said, I can't see who might be on our audience.
So, I assume no public comment. And then just so people know what's coming, we will if there's no other um >> All right, I'm sending this to Jasmine now and let's see if this works for the board. Jasmine, you should have that in about two seconds. >> Thank you. >> I mean, I can read it while you're waiting for it. >> Sure. Why don't you read it while it shows? >> Yeah. The planning board recognizes the applicant's commitment to preserving the site's natural beauty and topography. The applicant is clear clearly inspired by the location as reflected in several design elements. For example, the applicant is dedicated to maintaining the natural forested buffer wherever possible and has created outdoor classroom spaces in the nature's edge area. In addition, the plan includes outdoor fields intended to highlight the natural landscape along with walking trails. Finally, the project provides areas for the public to picnic and enjoy the space.
>> Great. But but I think you wanna you want to first mention Jasmine that the planning board has reviewed the requirements of section 5.8.1 A a through D believes those have been met and then that language is then our indication how this has been met right. >> Yeah. Yeah. and believes that believes that the um the purpose of the section has been the planning of board has reviewed the purpose of this the purpose of site alteration special permit and believes the and I guess they're not so again they're not conditions the conditions maybe have been met >> the only other thing we might want to add and I don't know Deepa and Trisha what you think as architects and designers but the building itself has what I would describe as a very open to nature aesthetic, right? There's large kind of from what I recall in the design elements, there's very large windows or open space that essentially looks out into nature, right?
And from what I recall, there's also elements of material that's being used as a reflection of the outdoor space. So, we could also add a couple sentences on that if if you are or agree with me. I think it just has less to do with the >> the outdoor space >> alteration. >> Understood. >> Okay. >> So, I was kind of sticking with things there about the site. >> Yep. Okay. >> And and my one small suggestion is where we say has created outdoor classroom, I would say has proposed outdoor classroom >> because that's probably still in part of their phasing. >> Correct. Yeah, I was gonna mention that. Thank you, >> Carrie. Are there other elements you want to add to this? >> Not really as it relates to site. >> Okay. >> Uh not that I can think of. I think those are the those are the big ones.
>> Yep. Okay. Great. >> And one minor uh edit the A through D. I know that's how it came through on this decision. It's actually one through four in the bylaw. >> Good point. >> Yeah. I think it was just a formatting issue. Thank you. So then we but then we still have to say um and believes and feels these conditions have been met or that could be at the end too. The planning board finds these conditions have been met or that the planning board finds this purpose has been fulfilled something like that. Okay. So, any any other comments that anyone has that that we missed or that you want to review, rehash? Okay. Um then I think um it this um Jasmine obviously will will go through and we can we can delete the rest of that red down there. Jasmine can take all that out.
The the actual verbiage from the bylaw. Yeah. So all all that red down there can just come out. Um so Jasmine obviously will get this all formatted. Um which is pretty close to being there anyway. It's just hard to do that final stuff. Um, it'll need to, I believe, just probably have Lisa me um give it a final pass once it's formatted. It seems like it's mostly the same, but I would suggest that um we close the public hearing. So, we need to close the public hearing first and then we can take a vote on this um uh contingent upon Lisa Me's final review. Does that sound uh good with everybody? >> Madam Chair, if I may, I just I want to make sure because the shity issue is still somewhat open-ended and and our team will potentially play a part in that discussion. >> I'm hesitant to have you close the public meeting if that's going to preclude us from speaking at all at the next hearing.
I know some boards witness applicant is forbidden as well once the public hearing's closed. >> Right. So I I might be hesitant to go forward that way in case we need to weigh in on the shity at the final hearing. >> Okay. So um so would you suggest that we we do not close the public hearing? We can't vote until we we can we can take a we can take a preliminary vote if that would be helpful for you as to where we stand. Um and then we will continue till April 9th. is that the preferred route and then Lisa can you guys can um complete those details into something that's mutually agreeable between >> Yeah, I think um Jasmine, have you had any I know you were trying to check with um both Mike Carter from GCG and Lisa about next Wednesday maybe. I just want to make sure we can get that meeting scheduled and get through that.
Um, so I did get some um, feedback from Lisa late this afternoon. Um, but I can share that after the meeting. So we she does not anticipate she's not in the office next Wednesday at all. >> Okay. >> Um, she has something that came up. So, >> and is that like I'm not sure how your arrangement with her works. Like I mean we could do this virtually if if she's working and just not in Ashland. >> She's not available to Ashland on that day. That's her day that she works with us. She's not available to us next Wednesday. >> Okay. All right. So, let us know. I mean, obviously, I don't know if she that means she is available on another day, but we'll make it work on our end if you can get her. Um, we just want to get this close. >> Yeah.
Um, maybe if she's not available that day, maybe she'll make herself available at other times so that we can get this taken care of. >> Um, if I'll certainly follow up after the meeting with an email >> if that's her regular day. So, um, with everything the town has going on, I assume that she's she or someone else at her office perhaps, um, you know, depending on how they distribute, um, the load would be, I assume, would be available. So, um, okay. So, we'll leave the public hearing open. We will not take a final vote until we have, well, we can't until we can close the public hearing. Um but I will just for the uh um for the benefit of the Y I will ask the board members that we will take an informal vote um uh on on um this decision. Informal vote starting with Deepa Deepa.
Anna Tesmanitzki. I I do want to add, however, that the first few pages we did not review with me on this call. So, if there's a way to kind of informally summarize what you guys change about the first >> Oh, sure. Yeah. Sorry, I did intend to do that. >> Sorry. >> So, the blue are the blue is the additions. >> Yep. >> That's fine. Keep going. >> I just want to make sure I'm I'm agreeing to something I'm fully aware of. >> No, you you did I did say that and I forgot. No, that's okay. I have read these ahead of time, but just let me glance at the blue. So, Jasmine, I'm seeing that blue. Keep going. No problem with that. That seems very minor change. Okay, one word there. That's fine. Hold on. Got it. So, these are kind of what I would call cleanup changes.
All right, keep going. Yep, no problem there. Looks good to me. We can keep going. One word. Got it. Okay. And that's what we just discussed. >> Pure verbiage. There might be some after that though. I don't remember when you came in. >> Yep. >> You want to keep scrolling, Jasmine? >> Yep. Keep scrolling. >> Are you stuck? >> Yep. The rest of it I think I we're or we're we're now on the same page >> that you were there. Okay. >> Yep. So, we're good. So, I will stand by my vote of I I guess informally. Is that what we're doing? >> Yep. We're good. Thank you. >> All right. So, I think Red Scott's here. >> And uh Paul Montasino I. >> And because she's here, Angel. >> Angel Cazadian. I >> All right. And Trisha Kendall I. So there you would have it.
If we could vote six, you would have six on our informal vote. Um, so given that looks like this is as far as we can come today, did the does the applicant have any other questions you want to throw at us that we that we need anything else we need to address between besides um besides having town council look at it and the shity >> think on our end that's that's it. Thank you very much. Yeah, thank you all. Good progress. >> Much appreciated. >> All right, then I will make >> Thank you everyone. >> You're welcome. I will make a motion that we um continue 30 Memorial Drive YMCA um to April 9th. Is there a second? >> Okay. And roll call vote. Anna Tespani I >> and Trisha Kendall I. So we're continuing to April 9th and assume we will wrap this up at that time.

Um Mr. He never stops. Um it surprises me sometimes how the how the man just keeps going. But he never stops. He's always working and always looking for ways to move Knox forward to make our schools better.
