7:15 p.m. Joint Meeting with Conservation Commission
Present from the Conservation Commission were: Dave Boudreau, Ron Stead and Chair Donald Flynn. The Conservation Commission was present to discuss project procedures that involve both the Conservation Commission and the Planning Board.
It was explained that there were no town regulations, only state regulations. Any work done within 100’ of a wetland area is within the buffer zone and would require filing with the Commission to be sure that there was no impact to the wetland or that the impact could be mitigated. Mr. Flynn explained the process their Commission followed.
It was recommended that an applicant file with both Boards simultaneously.
8:15 p.m. 54/56 Canal Street – Ice Cream Barn
Motion by Gary Schold, seconded by Paul Piktelis, to approve the installation of a wrought iron-style fence on top of the retaining wall, as shown on the photograph and email dated March 25, 2012, provided that the black chain link fence with privacy slats is installed around the perimeter of the dumpster. Motion carried unanimously.
8:20 p.m. Tighe & Bond Invoice Discussion
Town Planner Connors advised that the last three project bills seemed excessive, particularly the amount billed for the Hampton Street Baptist Church review. She is not sure if this may be attributed to the new engineer assigned to the town, or the bad economy. Review of the Dunkin Donuts project was also high. She has already requested a review of the Brierly Pond II invoice, and Tighe & Bond has agreed to reduce the amount billed by several hours.
The Board will ask Tony DeCruz from Tighe & Bond to be present at its next meeting for an explanation.
