PH, CARROLL, 91 GURNET RD., FOUNDATION
Representing the applicant were Attorney William York and contractor Dick Rockwood. Mr. York explained the project which was to reconstruct the dwelling on a new open pile foundation. Mr. Rockwood indicated that the piling design would be finalized after test borings were done to determine what the soil conditions were in the area. Mr. Butcher asked the applicant to clarify whether the project was a rebuild since the Notice of Intent indicates the project is only for a foundation.

He indicated that the applicant may temporarily move the remaining portion of the existing structure while the new foundation
is being constructed. No DEP file number had been issued. Ms Kelley made a motion that was seconded to continue the public hearing to February 20, 2007 at 7:50 p.m. The vote was 6 – in favor; 0 – opposed. Motion passed.
