Landscaping
The Planning Board discussed the issue of a landscaping plan for MLR. The Board recognizes that a landscape arrangement has been agreed to between the Town and the Emins/Jenkinson families. Mr. Osnoss read aloud the landscaping recommendation from PersonNameDavid Handlin, Architect, which indicated using 36 Cedar trees to screen the eastern boarder of the MLR property. Mr. Walton suggested changing the species of tree from Cedar to White Pine; as White Pine is shade friendly. The Planning Board asked Mr. Parker if the Emin families could have the jurisdiction of what plant, where to plant (within a few feet of the property line) and when to plant as long as they stay within the budgeted dollar amount the Town has set for the screening, which is $8,100. Mr. Parker committed to this
arrangement.
Road Associations
The Planning Board discussed the road associations involved with MLR. A road association will be established within the subdivision and all Homesite families and the developer of the rental units will belong to it. There will be another road association for addressStreetMiddle Line Road, which will encumber all persons using addressStreetMiddle Line Road to access their homes. This new association agreement will incorporate language from the existing road association agreement that the Emins presently belong to. The Board asked Christina to provide a copy of the draft Middle Line Road Association Agreement to Diane and Blair Emin.
Fire Water Source
PersonNameChuck Hodgkinson updated the Board stating that he met with Reid Silva and Chief Norton.
