Mr. Steves opened the meeting at 12:30 PM and announced that Commissioners Smith and Fischer were appointed as voting members by the Board of Selectmen on December 9. He also mentioned that the site visits for today’s meeting took place on December 9.
RFD TROY MACIEL FOR MATTHEW MOORE; AP 25-138: Mr. Maciel summarized the work that is under way and the comments made on the site visit. Mr. Maciel explained that he assumed the work was fully permitted when awarded the job and thanked the Commission for its patience. The Commission thought the hay bales and silt fencing will suffice and asked that they be checked and repaired as needed throughout the winter. After brief discussion a motion for a negative determination was made, seconded and unanimously approved.
GLENN PROVOST DISCUSSION FOR SCHEUER; SE 12 – 552; AP 33-4; 2 CHOCKER’S LANE: Mr. Provost thanked the Commission for its time and explained that his client would like to install temporary planking over the wetland area for the well digging rig – before installing the permanent bridge as outlined in the Order of Conditions. He added that if a well is not successfully installed and approved by the Board of Health the lot cannot be developed and the bridge will not be needed. The temporary planking will have 8” X 8” sleepers across the width of the planned route with heavy planking on top. The goal is to make sure no large ruts are created by the well rig. The Commission asked if a
smaller well rig would suffice to minimize the disturbance. Mr. Provost agreed to investigate this further. After discussion a motion was made to approve the temporary crossway with the conditions that the Conservation Officer shall be on site to supervise the work and they will try to move across the wetland when the ground is frozen. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved.
ADMINISTRATION: The meeting minutes for December 3, 2008 were reviewed. A motion to approve the minutes as presented was made, seconded and unanimously approved.
The fiscal year 2010 budget was reviewed. A motion to approve the budget as presented was made, seconded and unanimously approved.
