V. APPOINTMENTS
7:30 pm- Alden Way – no show
8:00 pm – Quail Estates – off East Washington Street
Richard Flynn read the hearing notice, abutters list was verified.
Michael Perrault of P.M.P. Associates met with the Board in regards to Quail Estates, a subdivision proposed off East Washington Street and presented to the Board a Plan dated December 15, 2008 and known as Project No. P041.00. Owners of the property are Mr. & Mrs. Jack Vaughn who own a home at 131 East Washington St.-a frontage lot - which is not part of the subdivision. The proposal is for a new road layout which will provide frontage for four new residential house lots. The existing house will have to be razed in order to conform to zoning once the roadway is in.
Two months ago a Conceptual Plan was submitted to the Planning Board. As a result several of the items suggested by the Board have been incorporated into the Plans.
Conservation Committee has held their public hearing and has issued an Order of Conditions and the appeal period has now lapsed, per Perrault. The stormwater requirements have been met and approved by the Conservation Commission.
Perrault discussed in length the placement of the bio-retention basins – two in the front of the property – to the rear of the property three bio-retention basins have been created. A review letter from Land Planning, Inc., review engineers for the Planning Board, was prepared by Steve Wry and delivered to Perrault who stated that he feels most items have been addressed.
Abutters present voiced numerous concerns regarding the retention basins as to potential water problems, location, flooding and maintenance of these basins.
Steve Wry, review engineer for the Planning Board, stated that a lot of superficial items have been taken care of but there is still concern about the stress tests, need more information on soils and has questions on test pits.
David Nagle made the motion to continue the public hearing for Quail Estates until April 27, 2009 at 7:30 pm.
Joan DiLillo– Second.
