Mr. Brehm stated that he wanted the Board to discuss property located on Dover Road known as the White Birches Condominiums Corp. The project is at a point where the Town Engineer needs to go out to inspect and they are looking for guidance as to exactly what needs to be inspected.
Fire pond- The consensus of the Board was that Chief Quimby and the Fire Department should go out to approve the pond to make sure what was agreed upon was done.
ESMI soil- In accordance the letter from DES and the notes listed on the plan, the ESMI soil needs to be inspected to check if it has been properly mitigated. If not the Board would like a report of what kind of coverage is there currently.
Private Road- The Board would like to know whether the road has had any compaction tests completed. If so, they would like to see the reports. The engineering firm that worked on the project in previous years has since closed and no reports were found in the property file. If no records can be found, the Board would like two foot holes dug every 100ft(or how engineer sees fit) to show what is there and also elevations. The Board would also like to be sure that the under drain has been installed.
The Board has a tentative date to have a meeting with the engineering firm to discuss the inspections to take place.

Mr. Brehm apprised the Board that he had spoken with Mr. and Mrs. Andersons Soil Scientist about going to the Zoning Board of Adjustments for a variance due to the slopes on the property.
