Board members said that the reference to the fence and propane tank on an abutter’s property should be removed from the notes to the plans as well as the reference to a one-year warranty on trees. Board members also said that both Parcels A and B should be conveyed to abutters.
Nicole Gorman of Captain Nathaniel Drive expressed concern relative to the existing trees and proposed plantings in the area of the subdivision that abuts her property. She suggested the planting of white pine and red maple trees and provided the Board with pictures of the existing view from her pool.
