7:30 PM the Planning Board meeting was called to order.

Rick Bates has resigned from the Planning Board after nine years of service.  W. Ritter recommended sending a thank you letter to Rick for his time and expertise, and cc Brian Bullock.  Voting on new officers is tabled until all members are present.

DISCUSSION OF ALDEN WOODS SUBDIVISION:  Mr. DeCillis has refused to permit access onto his lot.  Therefore repairs are on hold.  The Board has a letter requesting $100 of compensation for every square foot of loss equaling approximately $49,200 from CB Blair Development.  Blair has declined this request.  The retaining wall will have to be disputed privately between the two parties.  No storm-water facilities will be accepted by the Town until the wall is satisfactorily stabilized.

R. Ricker recommended no discussion of Alden Woods at this time.  R. Ritter said the Board does have some obligation to see that these issues are resolved and can safely withstand the winter.  P. Harding informed the Board that the detention pond has not been repaired yet.  The slope should be secure and stable.  P. Harding will follow up on the detention pond outlet.  Larry Galkowski, DPW, will review the revisions and get back to P. Harding with comments.
