Discussion:
Lakeview Estates – Extension Request
JK explained that there were letters (dated January 26, 2018) in their packages from Don DiMartino, DPW Director (DD) addressing the 12/28/17 letter from Attorney Beattie, counsel for the Lakeview Estates 40B project for 2018. JK explained that at the December meeting it was determined that the essential infrastructure for phase 1 was not complete in a timely manner. Attorney Paul Beattie has requested an extension to that condition.
BW stated that he would recuse himself as he is a direct abutter.
Attorney Paul Beattie (PB) and Michael Harrington (MH) were in attendance to discuss the letter. DD noted 3 segments: work to be completed on Phase 1A (initial starting point for this project) , work to be completed on offsite sewers and the work to connect the water line at the High School to the water main in the proposed road. The Board, PB and MH discussed each item in each segment as follows:
Phase 1A: Hot Berm Mix, completion of sidewalks, top course of pavement, storm water basin and storm water outfall, and stockpile removals
Offsite Sewers: Sewer Main Center Street, Dupre Road, Silver Lake Road and pumping station Cross Street at Dupre Road.
Water line connection at High School: important when homes are occupied on Celestial Drive.
The Board and applicant reviewed the concerns currently outstanding. After discussing what was required and expected of the applicant the Board asked if the applicant would be in agreement to email them a look-ahead every 2 to 4 weeks so they can verify progress is being made. The applicant agreed. JK stated the DPW will be asking for a detailed construction schedule.
AP motion that they grant an extension to February 1, 2019 with on-going biweekly updates to the staff and board.
BTS second.
All in favor to grant the extension to February 1, 2019.
JK confirmed with the applicant that the Board would expect the first update in April.
