Public Hearing
Clerk Gary Schold read the public hearing notice.
Robert Murphy and Dominic Murgo were present. Applicant proposes to develop a trucking business for the transportation of waste from local collection stations. The facility will be adjacent to the Wheelabrator facility. Access is via the existing access road to Wheelabrator. Approximately 5 acres are to be developed.
Clerk Schold read letter dated March 15, 2011 from Fire Chief Matt Belsito, regarding sprinkler system, fire detection system and hydrant requirements.
Water and sewer lines will be shared with Wheelabrator. The Board will request written authorization from Wheelabrator regarding use of the access road. Mr. Murphy stated that Murgo owns access rights to the road, through the purchase from the Millers.
Mr. Gosselin advised that an easement will have to be created on the corner of the Murgo property, for the water line. Mr. Murgo stated that this was a trade-off, the line is on his property, but he will be able to use it. Mr. Murphy will create an easement plan from Murgo to Wheelabrator for the utilities there.
Mrs. Lewandowski raised concerns with the flow of water, particularly onto residential property on Millbury Terrace and in that area.
Mr. Murphy advised the Board that all issues raised by Tighe & Bond will be met and addressed.
Truck traffic will be heaviest between 4 am and 8 am, and will be staggered. Approximately 300 tons of material will be transported each day.
Mr. Murphy stated that this plan was scaled at 1” = 1000’ due to the size of the property.
Motion by Anna Lewandowski, seconded by Gary Schold, to continue the public hearing to 8:15 p.m. on Monday, April 11, 2011, motion carried unanimously.
Minutes
Motion by Gary Schold, seconded by Paul Piktelis, to approve the minutes of March 14, 2011. Motion carried unanimously.
Ladyslipper Lane
Mr. Mahoney has submitted letter dated March 24, 2011 from Hometown Bank, which indicates that the Bank will hold back funds in the amount of $41,000 until receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy. If Mr. Mahoney fails to complete the project in a timely manner, the Bank would use the funds to complete the project.
The Board discussed the proposal. It is standard to have a roadway go through a winter before it will recommend acceptance, and a Tri-Party Agreement is signed by all parties. Concerns were raised with asking the Building Inspector to withhold the Occupancy Permit, as the inspector could change, and the new inspector might not agree to do so.
The Board will bring its issues to Mr. Mahoney for further discussion.
Adjournment
Motion to adjourn by Jeff Markarian, seconded by Paul Piktelis, motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan M. Dean
