Meeting called to order at 4:31PM
Bartlett Woods Road Association Discussion:
- Chair Thompson summarized the Bartlett Woods road topic with assistance from Road Agent, Mitch Posin. Chair Thompson read the conditions of the Khedouri subdivision plan, approved in March 2013. Condition #4 stated, “Formation of road association of the newly created subdivision lots filed with the Planning Board.” It appeared that the condition for the formation of a road association for the newly created lots requires only Mr. Khedouri’s signature, owner of all new lots in subdivision.
- With regards to condition #8, Chair Thompson reviewed a letter from Wayside Farms, an abutter, dated March 11, 2013. The Chair read the letter. Mr. Demers stated that Wayside Farms is happy with the work so far. Mr. Fischer suggested that a written agreement might be developed among the owners so that later on there would be no misunderstandings.
- It was clarified that Ms. Cini will be notified to provide a road association agreement, signed by Mr. Khedouri, and then the Demers will alert the Road Agent who will check the road in advance of a lot release, tentatively scheduled for August 26, 2013.
- Mr. Silva noted that the road was not placed in the original planned location and was built at the westernmost edge of the easement.
Bijah’s Field Subdivision Lot Release #7:
- Discussion occurred regarding no record of a lot release being requested or issue of a release of Lot #7.
- The Board asked Ms. Christy to ask the Board of Health for the septic and well plan to confirm those were filed and approved.
- Ms. Weidner made a motion to release the lot pending verification that there was an approved septic and well plan filed with the Board of Health. Mr. Osnoss seconded the motion. All ayes.
Chilmark Nominee Trust Form A Application, Map 30, Lot 76:
- Mr. Abbott presented the plan.
- Mr. Wiesner described the history of the subdivision. Mr. Flender inquired whether the lot had been a previous subdivision. Mr. Osnoss read aloud sections in the Town of Chilmark Rules and Regulations for Subdivision of Land to confirm that the Board could endorse a Form A in this case.
- Mr. Wiesner stated his understanding that he would need to visit the Martha’s Vineyard Commission since the subdivision was already designated a Development of Regional Impact (DRI).
- Mr. Flender moved to refer the plan to the MVC with a recommendation that it be approved. Ms. Weidner seconded the motion. All ayes. Ms. Christy will investigate how the MVC will be informed of the referral and the process that Mr. Wiesner should follow.
Update from Subcommittee:
- Chair Thompson noted that the subcommittee met on August 5, 2013. Ms. Weidner stated that no special permits have been reviewed by the ZBA as yet as far as she knows from her seat on the Site Review Committee.
- Chair Thompson noted the subcommittee is also working on a permanent file for the new bylaws.
- Ms. Weidner noted a discussion with a ZBA member regarding the satisfaction of green energy requirements, in terms of heat for swimming pools, using Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). She noted it might be something the Planning Board may need to review for the Zoning Bylaws.
- Mr. Fischer asked if RECs were used by any other towns to satisfy green energy requirements. Ms. Weidner stated she would look into the issue of RECs.
Minutes:
- July 22, 2013 Minutes were reviewed and amended. Ms. Weidner moved to approve minutes with changes. Mr. Greenbaum seconded the motion. All ayes.
