Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for Cornwell Road (7:30 PM)
Chairman Carrara read the PCC disclaimer prior to the presentation.
Adele Hale made the presentation on a proposed five lot subdivision on Cornwell Road. Configuration of some lots required easement for two septic systems on one lot. Board advised that she needed to obtain approval from the ZBA on wetlands issues shown in the plan and approval from the Director of DPW on driveway cuts. Discussion closed at 8:04 PM.
Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for Eugene Mitchell Proposal (8:05 PM)
Chairman Carrara read the PCC disclaimer prior to the presentation.
Mr. Nathan Chamberlin made the presentation in conjunction with Mr. Mitchell for property on Sawmill Road. Two conceptual designs were presented –
A traditional development of 37 building lots that contained two separate entrances with no more that 8% grade on the roads.
An open space development of 34 building lots with one section of 9% grade on the roads.
The board favored the layout of the open space development, but the over 600 foot dead-end road would not pass regulation. Discussion of potential two separate lanes (with median space) for 600 feet to the ‘loop’ might be an alternative. Discussion closed at 8:37 PM.
Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for Miner Road (8:40 PM)
Chairman Carrara read the PCC disclaimer prior to the presentation.
Mr. Dennis Rossiter asked a number of questions regarding property owned by Dorothy McAllister on Miner. The Board reviewed the maps and determined the property frontage was in Rural Agriculture zone. Further discussion on survey requirements and process for subdivisions. Discussion closed at 8:57 PM.
Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for Gulf Road (8:58 PM)
Chairman Carrara had read the PCC disclaimer in the prior presentation to participants as part of prior discussion and it was so noted.
