Middle Line Road Community Housing Form B Subdivision
Rich Osnoss read aloud Blair Emin's letter to the MVC dated March 30, 2007. All Planning Board members had a copy for reference. Blair Emin voiced his concern that the Middle Line Road Subdivision entrance crosses his and his brother's property. He added he would prefer the road go around his property. He also was concerned about the placement of septic systems in relation to his property.
The members noted that the MVC was concerned about the egress onto Tabor House Road and has assigned someone from their staff to do a traffic study. Once complete, the projections will be forwarded to the Planning Board.
Billy Meegan explained the history of Middle Line Road Community Housing Program.
Jonathan Mayhew commented that his mother's property goes to the middle of the Middle Line Road and he was concerned about a stone wall on her property. He stated he would like this wall preserved and undisturbed. He was also concerned about his mother's land abutting the right of way (765') and the possibility of the Town taking that land by eminent domain.
The Planning Board expressed a concern for the need to determine the location of the 40' right of way. A question was asked if the Town could use the Cossutta property for the right of way? Planning Board reviewed Map 13 Lot #41 and discussed the 40' right of way in relation to the property lines and stone wall. Janet Weidner requested that the board plan a site meeting to view the road. The meeting was scheduled for Sunday,
April 22, 2007 at 1:30 p.m.
PB Meeting Minutes - 2 - April 9, 2007
The following is an outline of the issues and concerns regarding the Middle Line Road Community Housing Subdivision.
1. The Access Road - From Tabor House Road to development
2. Right of Way - Stone wall on the Mayhew property to be undisturbed.
3. Is it legal to use Cossutta owned land (48.4 acres of conservation) as part of
the Middle Line Road Project? Could Cossutta use this property in the future?
4. Nitrogen system. Need to research alternative septic systems.
5. Review set backs. Would like to see discussions on screening of homes.
6. No Cut issue along Holman Road
Planning Board requested to see a map illustrating the full acreage of plan; 21.4 acre lot (Map 13, Parcel 43) plus the 48.4 acre lot (Map 13, Parcel 24).
Rich Osnoss read the memo from the Board of Health. It stated the Board of Health accepted the engineer's representation of the soils and that septic systems and wells need to be presented in their actual locations for final approval.
The Planning Board thanked the public for their concerns and for attending the meeting.
They emphasized how important it was for the public to get involved and encouraged their attendance at the Public Hearing on Monday, April 30, 2007.
