The Planning Board met at the site on Old North Road to determine which trees should be saved when the subdivision is constructed. The Board walked the site and realized that it was difficult to assess which trees should stay and which should go. The Board indicated that all trees within 5 feet of the property line may possibly be saved. The Board will condition the approval to require a subsequent visit to walk the site when the road has been cleared.
The Board also looked at the area of detention basin construction. The Board determined that because the detention basin is above several homes, SEA will inspect the basin during installation of the drainage.
Dan Entholt, 17 Old North Road asked whether the road could be shifted more toward the property lines across the street. Mr. DiPersio stated that shifting the road 18-ft. to the left would encroach on the wetlands. The Board asked Mr. DiPersio to shift the paved road as far left as possible to the right of way.

Bob D’Amelio, seconded by Dirk Underwood, moved to adjourn at 6:00 PM.
