[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Ashland: Art. I, May 1993
Special Town Meeting. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted May 1993 STM]
The Ashland Planning Board may approve or approve with conditions
or disapprove a subdivision based on its review of the projected traffic
impacts and the proposed methods of mitigating such impacts. During
the review process of a subdivision plan, the Planning Board shall
make a written finding with supporting reasons therefor that the traffic-carrying
capacity of the intersections and streets likely to be directly affected
by the proposed development will be adequate, according to accepted
ITE traffic engineering criteria for level of service, to handle the
existing and projected traffic. Such finding shall pertain to the
entire proposed development, including any off-site improvement proposed
by the applicant or required by the Planning Board as a condition
of its approval.
The conditions which may be attached to the approval of an application
under this Article include the following:
A.
Controls on the location and type of access to the site.
B.
Requirements for off-site improvements to improve the capacity and
safety of roads and intersections which are likely to be directly
affected by the proposed development.
C.
Allowing of payment of a fee into a separate interest-bearing
trust fund for transportation network improvements which are directly
related to alleviating impacts of the proposed development. These
fees shall be equal to the prorated costs of offsetting the impacts
of the development as determined by the Planning Board, proportionate
to the entire costs of such improvements. The Planning Board may waive
the requirements for off-site traffic mitigation measures for developments
which include low-moderate-income housing.
