Minutes of Meeting – August 4, 2009
The Hudson Planning Board met at the Town Hall, 78 Main Street, Hudson, Massachusetts.
At 7:30 p.m., Robert D’Amelio called the meeting to order.
Present: Robert D’Amelio, Rodney Frias, Dirk Underwood, Charles Freeman, and Jennifer Burke, Planning Director
Planner’s Report
Lauren Heights Update
Present were: Christopher Yates, Atty at Law
Atty. Yates reviewed the progress to date with the Board. The Board was pleased with the ongoing work. Mr. Freeman noted that he had just driven through before the meeting. Everything looked good. He did notice children playing on the slope near the rock crusher. He would like the developer to install an orange safety fence along the slope to prevent people from climbing on the rock pile. Atty. Yates saw no issue with this.
Ms. Burke reminded everyone that the November town meeting warrant closes on August 24, 2009. The Board has steered away from the practice of putting unfinished roads on the warrant for acceptance. The Board could make an argument for exception in this case due to the special circumstances surrounding the bankruptcy and foreclosure. The Board agreed to proceed as is suggesting that the developer complete as much work as possible prior to the next meeting on August 18th. It was also suggested that Atty. Yates speak with Tony Marques regarding what is specifically needed for street acceptance plan submittal.
The Board would like a punch list of remaining item for the next meeting but no later than Monday August 17, 2009 at noon.
