That the granting of the application will not, under the circum- stances of the particular case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant, and will not, under the circum- stances of the particular case, be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood. 4. The granting of the requested variance will be in harmony with the general purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. 5. The requested variance is necessary to prevent practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships, and results inconsistent with the general purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. 6. The requested variances are supported by the steep terrain of the subject building site~ and the resulting, substantial limitation on the buildable area thereof. 7. The terracing of the rear yard of the subject building site to a 5% grade would be both impracticable and impractical. 8. Considering the physical characteristics of the land in question, the proposed development would manifest sound site planning."

Callan to Amend the "Zoning Map" of the Westborough-West Park No.3 Planned Community District, and the "Site Plan" of the Westborough-West Park No. 1 and No. 2 Planned Community Districts, and to thereby Redistrict (Rezone) 'the 1.28~ acre Parcel of Land at the Northeasterly corner of Westborough and Callan Boulevards from Planned Community Commercial (PC~C) to Planned Community Duplex Family (PC~DF), and the 1.28-acre Parcel of Land at the southwesterly corner of Callan Boulevard and King Drive from "Multiple Family Zone" to "Commercial Zone" Secretary Pass read the following reports and letter into the record. Report of City Planner Daniel M. Pass "1. The petitioned amendments would effectuate the recently~amended General Plcm, entitled "Orderly Growth," and would not increase the total commercial acreage of the Westborough Community. 2. The petitioned amendments would remove excess commercial acreage from the periphery of Westborough's nascent civic-school complex, and place it along an off-ramp of the future Skyline Freeway. This trans- fer would improve the land~use pattern of the Greendale Neighborhood without substantially eroding the use pattern of the West Park Neigh- borhood." 3. Since the proposed residential and commercial sites would be developable only through the planned-unit process, and the use-permit procedure, the Planning Commission's control over the urbanization of the said sites would continue." "Recommendation: The Planning Department respectfully recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached, preliminary resolution, and thereby recommend to the City Council that the petitioned amendments and redistrictings (rezonings) be enacted into ordinance. It is further respectfully recommended that the petitioner be instructed to provide a design solution to the traffic problem inherent in his proposed development at the northeasterly corner of Westborough and Callan Boulevards. This solution must be incorporated in any plans submitted for the establishment of a planned unit development at the said corner. One solution could take the form of a 30 '-wide frontage road along the easterly line of Callan Boulevard. This frontage road should consist of a 4'-wide landscaping strip, and an adjoining 26'-wide travelway. The aforementioned frontage road could be established on land recouped through the reduction of the width of the easterly right-of-way of Callan Boulevard, and the depths of the proposed front yards, patios, common greens, and building pads of the proposed duplexes." Report, dated April 13, 1971, of City Planner Daniel M. Pass "While the Office of the City Planner endorses Mr. Callan's rezoning requests, it cannot recommend blanket approval of the precise land use patterns and building elevations submitted with the RZ-18 petition. - 2369 - RZ-18 April 26, 1971 lithe following requirements, therefore, shall be prerequisite to the Planning Office's recommendation that any planned unit development be established on the subject lands. 1. The townhouses, duplexes or condominium units at the northeasterly corner of Westborough and Callan boulevards must meet the developmental and aesthetic qualitative standards of adjacent Westborough. 2. The traffic problems created by the proposed development at the Westborough and Callan site must be resolved by the petitioner. 3. The proposed commercial enclave at the southwesterly corner of Callan Boulevard and King Drive should be town and country in character and serve as a village shopping precinct. The architectural and environmental characteristics of the enclave shall be compatible with adjoining West Park. The Planning Office is of the opinion that these standards would preclude the establishment of a 7-11 market on the lands in question. 4. The petitioner shall submit professional evidence that his proposed planned unit developments are seismically safe." Report, dated April 15, 1971, of Landscape Specialist John E. Hoffman "I have reviewed the submitted site plans and the City Planner's I.O.M. of April 13, 1971 and his Special Memorandum of April 13, 1971 on the same subj ect. I believe that the City Planner has covered the problems inherent in these site plans, as I see them, in his recommendations. Therefore, I endorse his recommendations which will provide the needed changes in the plans and the controls for development through the Planned-Unit process and Use-Permit procedure." Letter of traRsmittal, dated April 7, 1971, from Michael C. Callan "Dear Mr. Pass: Please find enclosed an application for an Amendment to Planned Community Ordinance No. 511 and No. 575, identified as "Westborough - West Park Unit Nos. 1 & 2" and "Westborough-West Park Unit No.3", respectively. Accompanying this letter are the elements of the application: Verified Petition, General Development Plans and General Development Schedule. The areas proposed for amendment are located on the (a) southwesterly corner of Callan Boulevard and King Drive, and ~) northeasterly corner of Westborough Boulevard and Callan Boulevard, as indicated graphically on the Location Map attached hereto. We wish to respectfully request that (a) the southwesterly corner of Callan Boulevard and King Drive be amended from (P.C.) "Multiple Family" to (P.C.) "Commercial", and (b) the northeasterly corner of Westborough Boulevard and Callan Boule- vard be amended from "P. C. Commercial" to "P. C. Duplex Family". We believe that this proposed amendment is in harmony with the Planning Commission's desires as presented in their Resolution No. 2113, adopted on December 14, 1970. Very truly yours, /s/ Michael C.
