Suzy has been qualified before as an eligible purchaser in WT and will provide application to the Chilmark Housing Committee for approval as an eligible purchaser, once qualified by DCRHA. Once there is a plan, the applicant will come back before the PB for approval of subdivision.
Kauff Residence:
John Keene is in the process of creating a road for the Kauff residence at Map 31, Lot 9- 3. He asked to postpone the installation of the final road surface until after the building phase of construction is complete, so as to not have to do the road more than once. After review of the original document approved by the Planning Board on March 24, 2008 allowing for one year to finish road surface and with an amount of $39, 892.60 in escrow securing the finalization of the road process, the board asked for a letter from the applicant asking for extension.
