The fact sheet, newsletter, and handout try to put in simple terms a very complicated law (RSA 483-B). Copies of all three (3) documents are available at the Antrim Town Hall for distribution.
Punch Lists for Homes at High Hill and Pierce Lakes Estates II Subdivisions: Mr. Houseworth explained that the punch lists had been developed by the Town Engineer, Mr. Peter Pitsas, based on inspections and site walks that occurred with the Road Agent, Planning Staff, and Board members on May 12 and 13, 2008. The list includes items that need to be addressed by the developers of both major subdivisions, including tasks that need to be completed before final paving begins.
Construction Services Budget Overruns:
Homes at High Hills Subdivision - As stated by Peter Pitsas, Town Engineer: "The main reasons for the overrun are the extended duration of the project, easement related issues, and work related to the previous Work-to-do List." The developer, Kateco Developing, LLC, has been notified of the status of the budget.
Pierce Lake Estates II Subdivision -- As stated by Peter Pitsas; "The main reasons for the overrun are the extended duration of the project and the erosion issues that have developed over the past year which still have not adequately addressed." Don Glover, Glover Construction, Inc., has been notified of the status of the budget.
Correspondences:
Status of the Marlene and Jerry Schultz Appeal to the NH DES Retaining Wall Denial - A Certificate of Service was delivered to Jerome and Marlene Schultz on May 19, 2008. This is another step in their appeal process to NH DES to erect a retaining wall on their property on Gregg Lake. The retaining wall was denied by NH DES last fall.
Breezy Condominium Association's petition for declaratory judgment - Public Access Issue - The Town of Antrim's public access to Pierce Lake is being challenged by the Breezy Point Association. At this point, it is in the hands of Town Counsel.
Code Enforcement Letter -- Fairfield & Dorothy Whiting - Derelict Equipment and Junk
This letter was another notice of violation sent to the Whitings.
Code Enforcement Letter -- Collette & Andrew Ryan -- Placement of Dock w/o a Permit
The Ryans are apparently in violation for illegally sitting a dock without a NH DES permit and placing it on a portion of the neighbor’s property.
Conferences, Trainings, and Workshops:
NH DES Weed Watcher Training at Gregg Lake Beach on Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 9 AM -- This will be a hands on workshop concerning invasive species.
