GCC MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 20, 2005
Attendees: Harry LaCortiglia, John Bell , Paul Nelson, Carl Shreder, Laura Repplier
GEN’L BUSINESS
· Crescent Meadows – When replication is complete (at Cert of Compliance), he wants us to send whatever is left over to him, not the corporation (he’s developer). We can verify if he is applicant.
· Final signoff for OOC on 35 Monroe - 2004-GCC -20
· MOTION: to pay $2,036.35 bill from Oxbow, relating to 197 Jewett - Harry / John / Unam
· MOTION: to pay Classified Connection & MACC bills – Harry / Paul / Unam
· MACC Conference – Register Paul & Laura & one unnamed participant.
· Paul made a pass at the budget & gave it to Steve Delaney. Last year we had bylaw fees but that fee should be going to the town so we will not have that income next year. Salaries will come out of the town budget.
· Jan 13 Minutes – Should also be circ to BOH, Planning, and other depts.
· MOTION: to reappoint Harry LaCortiglia & George Comiskey to Open Space expiring 6/30/2008– John / Paul / 3 approved & 1 abstention
· Shopping Center Certificate of Compliance – There was a large question over whether everything had been completed on this project. Can’t issue CoC if not yet complete. There doesn’t appear to be a letter from a registered engineer detailing the work that has been completed & what the differences are. In the past the engineer has been asked to detail the differences between the approved plan vs the as-built plan. The as-built plan is very large – we can’t sign it off without knowing exactly what the differences are.
We should examine the original OOC before we make a sign-off. This area is technically an endangered species area with turtles. There are still haybales frozen in place. If we sign off now they might not take action to remove them later. A question as to whether this might cause flooding.
ACTION: Obtain a list of differences from the engineer – George Zambouras, Civil Engineer.
CAMP DENISON
· Tom Hand has been voted in & signed off.
· Other members also signed off – for one year?
ACTION: LR to email HL to get documentation.

PENTUCKET POND
Fanwort Treatment 2004-GCC-001
ACT (Aquatic Control Technology) came up with aquatic plant survey & nuisance vegetation plan – copies in file. This is a National Heritage endangered species area – they wrote to say that their records show the presence of Bridle Shriner (a fish) so to protect them the y asked the applicant to collect more data. Needed reassurance that bridle shriner would have an escape area because the treatment is being performed on the whole pond. Until the pond was mapped & surveyed it wasn’t known if there was an escape area for them.. There is no stated retention time for the pond.
The ACT report came to GCC & Nat Heritage. The state biologist emailed to say he’s only starting to look at it.
MOTION to continue to March 24, 2005 at 8:00 pm - Harry / John / Unam
