Planning Board Meeting Minutes 6/16/2011
Members Present: Maggie Leonard; Chair, Larry Klein, Alan Solomon and Bridget Krans
- Previous meeting minutes: May 12th, 2011 minutes approved as written. May 26th, 2011 minutes approved as amended.
- Greenway Subdivision road construction extension request: Maggie stated that she tended to agree with town counsil on whether or not the agreement should be extended. In other words what does it matter if we grant them the extension? Why would it bother us if it never got done? Maggie also noted that there is some movement in legislature to change some subdivision rules and regulations. Perimeter plans and lot line changes are some of the examples. The board voted on granting the extension conditioned on the owner complying with any new town or state or applicable governmental requirements which are imposed prior to the completion of the road with respect to such work. The board voted unanimously to approve the extension with the above listed condition.
- Cell Towers: The board discussed again the point that Larry made at the last meeting which was that all towers within an 8 mile radius of Monterey have to be researched an reported on as part of the application process for putting up a cell tower. Maggie felt that we could have an opinion about it but ultimately it is the decision of the ZBA. Larry felt that we were responsible for making the new bylaw and as a result we should stress to the ZBA that we feel that the research should only need to be cell towers and a relief should be given. Larry stated that it was not his intention to make things easy for people but it was certainly not his intention to make it debilitating hard either. Maggie spoke with Richard Haapanen and asked him if we could walk the site and he stated that would be fine. Alan suggested
that Maggie send an email that Monterey has passed the Telecommunications bylaw and all submissions should be made according to the bylaw. At this time however the Attorney General has not approved the new bylaw.
- Report from Board Members: Mark Bobrowski, the man whom is doing the over hauls of the bylaw has been in contact with Maggie in regards to setting up the first meeting about redoing the bylaw. Legally it is only the planning board that is allowed to change anything in the bylaws. As a result the planning board will be having most of the contact with Mr. Bobrowski.
- Open Mail: aHh Regional Planning has a meeting on Monday the 20th of June.
- Bridget stated that she will not be at the next meeting. Although the board had not heard from Stephen, Bridget stated that Mrs. Enoch mentioned that Stephen would not be at the next meeting either.
- Meeting adjourned: 8:30
- Submitte by Bridget Krans
