· Pierce Lake Estates II Status Review : Mr. Moore gave a summary of Pierce Lake Estates – an approved subdivision (File #2004-14PB) located in the Rural/Lake Front Residential District, Map Lots…on a cul-de-sac off of Pierce Lake Road. Several of the lots have been sold. The road has had a first and second coursing, which the former Road Agent had said was somewhat bumpy. In May of 2008, Peter Pitsas (Town Engineer – Underwood Engineers) had developed a 3-page punch list of items that required attention. As of May 10, 2010, not all the requirements had been satisfied. The bond for the road was about to expire.
The Board discussed the road acceptance policy. The Planning Board will determine whether the road requirements have been satisfied - using the punch list and the conditions of approval noted on the Notice of Decision. The Road Agent would also be asked for his opinion. The Selectman are then petitioned by the owner, and the Selectboard will determine the road acceptance.
The Planning Board would like Mr. Moore to call the bondholder (Westchester Fire) and review the situation.
Mr. Webber (Selectboard ex-officio) will research the road acceptance policy.
· Green Ridge Road LLC, aka Kateco, aka High Hills Status Mr. Moore summarized the status of the approved subdivision – File #2005-05PB on Map Lot on a cul-de-sac off of Ashley Road which is off of Elm Avenue and in the Rural District. A punch list had also been developed for this subdivision – many requirements have not been satisfied. There was a long discussion about the road and the complexities involved with a subdivision that is not built out in a timely way. The Planning Board requested that Mr. Moore discuss the situation with Mr. Pitsas.
· Master Plan – Review “final” edits, as of 5/1/2010 The revisions were viewed by the Board using the projector. After each revision was discussed, it was determined that the revised Master Plan will be posted to the web. Mr. Moore will set up a date for Missy Taylor to present the Master Plan in a Public Hearing in either mid June or early July.
