Vote: 4-0-0, Unanimous
Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land, Storm Water Amendment
Mr. D’Amelio convened the public hearing.
Max Kamel, Assistant Director of the DPW made his presentation to the Board. He explained that the Town has a 5-year period in which to comply with new regulations regarding discharge permits for subdivisions. These sub-division control regulations are mandated by the EPA and the DEP. Mr. Kamel stated that if a section was inserted into the Planning Board’s regulations this would bring the Town up to compliance. The regulation would state that in order to perform any work on an area over 1 acre the applicant must appear before the Board.
Mr. Vereault asked whether outstanding water resources (ORW’s) could be defined by the Town not just the DEP. Ms Burke said that at a later date a local ORW list could be complied and the Planning Board could then review it.
There was no input from the public.
James Vereault, seconded by Tom Collins, made a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: 4-0-0, Unanimous
