AMENDED CONDITION 11 replaces the original:
11. The Planning Board and the applicant acknowledge that the land shown on the subdivision plan hereby
approved is subject to the terms and conditions of a special permit which incorporates therein a conceptual
plan entitled “Proposed Site Plan North Campus,” dated July 9, 2002 and amended in 2009, (“Master
Plan”) showing a conceptual network of multi-use paths, bicycle paths and/or pedestrian paths (collectively
“non-motorized use paths”) throughout the Village Hill project. The Master Plan has been modified as the
overall redevelopment of the North Campus of Village Hill has progressed through the Planning Board Site
Plan Approval process with respect to individual development projects comprising part of the overall Village
Hill Project. Nothing in this approval shall be deemed to waive or modify the obligation of the applicant to
provide such non-motorized use paths in substantial compliance with the network shown on the Master
Plan, as it may be further modified by approval of the Planning Board and Citizen’s Advisory Committee-as
necessary from time to time as development progresses. In addition, nothing in this approval shall be
deemed to waive or modify the obligation of the applicant to design and construct each such non-motorized
use path in strict conformity with such requirements for multi-use paths, bicycle paths, pedestrian paths, as
may be applicable, including but not limited to Mass DOT standards, city design policy requiring 10’ wide
paths where combined with on street sidewalks, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. To the extent that
the ways and other infrastructure shown on the plan hereby approved are inconsistent with the obligation
to provide conforming non-motorized use paths in substantial compliance with the Master Plan as it may be
further modified, the applicant proceeds to construct such ways and infrastructure at its own risk and it
shall have the obligation to redesign and reconstruct such ways and infrastructure so as to be consistent
with such obligation to provide non-motorized use paths.
