FORM A/ANR – WINTER and E. WASHINGTON STREETS
The Board met with Rick Vayo to review a transfer of land located at the above address. The Subdivision Plan of Land was prepared by R.L. Avery, Surveyor, dated June 4, 2013. Unbeknownst to Vayo, the Town combined the parcels currently up for approval into one lot.
When Mr. Vayo put his property up for sale he planned on giving the two parcels to his sister (Lots 1A & 1B). What he was presenting to the Board this evening was the re-separation of the lots with the exact same boundaries, setbacks, etc., just transferring to his sister.
Before the Board reviewed the checklist, Ms. Muncy explained that the first checklist, submitted with the Plan, was incomplete and returned to the engineer, Mr. Avery. He took the Plan back and made the revisions. The Board reviewed the revised Approval Not Required Plan checklist and found it to be acceptable.
Motion made to accept the Plan as presented: Patricia Glenn
Second: Joseph Gamache
Vote: 4-0
Report of the Zoning By-law Committee
The only members present were Robert Overholtzer, Donald Ellis and James Egan. As there was not a quorum, no discussion took place. Future meetings will be July 10, 2013 at 7:00 pm and July 24th, 2013 at 7:00 pm.
Ms. Muncy indicated that the hardhat walk through of the All American Assisted Living facility will take place on June 27th, 2013 at 3:00 pm.
Board Member Joseph Gamache indicated that the driveway at the All American Assisted Living facility should be reviewed. It looks like they have paved all the way around and not with crushed gravel.
Ms. Muncy and Mr. Ellis did a walk thru visit to Stonebridge Commons to review work that needed to be done. The controversial gate was located in a grass strip and needs to be raised up. The catch basins need to be rebuilt and adjusted for top coating. Behind some of the units the soil needs to be stabilized. The Association is to be responsible for cleaning of the basins.
A walk through was done on Azalea Way, also. Residents would like to see sidewalks, street lights addressed and subdivision to be cleaned up. It may be best to have Town Counsel attend a meeting to talk about the pending issues and lack of response from the Contractor.
Board Member Joseph Gamache informed the Board that there are 115 acres adjacent to the Industrial Park –near Holmes Street– up for sale at a reasonable price. The CPC committee is trying to get this property on the Warrant. The land would be used for open space.
The next Board meeting will be June 22, 2013.
Motion to adjourn the meeting: Joseph Gamache
Second: Patricia Glenn
