· ZBA – Met Tower Update
Mr. Moore summarized the May 18, 2010 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting of the Appeal of the Administrative Decision made by the Planning Board on March 18, 2010 ((#2010-03PB). He said that the ZBA had voted unanimously to grant the appeal. Antrim Wind Energy, LLC has thirty (30)days to file an appeal. The Rehearing of the Height Variance for the met tower was continued to July 20, 2010. Both lawyers had requested that the Rehearing not occur on the same evening as the Appeal. The Planning Board members discussed their decision and the appeal. The majority
of the Planning Board members were disappointed with the ZBA decision.
· Pierce Lake II Update
Mr. Moore said that the bond for Pierce Lake II had been renewed until May 11, 2011. Mr. Glover had reviewed the Punch List developed by Underwood Engineering in May 2008. Although nothing has been done as of the meeting, Mr. Glover had promised that he would amend the deficiencies. The Board was interested in which pieces had been sold.
· Green Ridge Road LLC, aka Kateco, aka High Hills Update
Mr. Moore said that the bond would come due on August 27, 2010. The Road Agent (Chip Craig) had inspected and reported the following issues: drainage problems, deterioration of road surface at shoulders in some locations, driveway entrances - too narrow, final paving needed.
· In-Ex Homes Update
Mr. Jack Belletete has become the owner of In'Ex Homes. The Planning Department has not heard from him.
After discussing the above subdivisions, the Board determined that they would like to do a Site Walk to review the approved subdivisions. The walk will occur on June 3, 2010. Mr. Moore will drive the bus. The Planning Board, the Planning Department staff, and the Road Agent will view Mighty Oaks, Green Ridge Road LLC, Valley Lane, and Pierce Lake II Estates. Mr. Moore will write to the subdivision owners to apprise them of the upcoming Site Walk.
· Master Plan – Public Hearing – July 1 – Procedure Discussion
The Public Hearing for the Master Plan will occur on July 1, 2010. The Public Notice will be placed in The Villager on June 4 and June 18. The Master Plan with the revisions will be on the website (the Master Plan has been on the website for the past year - as changes were made - updates were made to the website).
· Southwest Regional Planning Commission – Report from Diane
Ms. Chauncey had a discussion with Lisa Murphy, Senior Planner at SWRPC and had requested that Ms. Murphy attend a PB meeting to explain the services that the Planning Commission provides for its members. Ms. Murphy had suggested that the Boards (PB and ZBA) should have specific questions for her - to make the most of the meeting. After some discussion, the Board decided that they would like to have a combined meeting on June 17, 2010.
· Continue review of proposed new Antrim Subdivision & Site Plan Review Regulations - no review occurred
