Planning Board minutes for Thursday April 26, 2012
Members present: Maggie Leonard, Alan Salamon, Stephen Enoch
Public present: Eugene Bounous
The meeting opened at 7:05 p.m.
Mr. Bounous inquired about logging permits in order to move forward with clearing for the wireless telecommunications tower sited on his 31 Main Rd. property. Board referenced the Town Bylaw with regard to logging operations and discovered that he needs a permit from the Director of Operations. Enoch cited the Wireless Telecommunications Bylaw section IV. F. 17 to remind Mr. Bounous about the bond that Florida Tower Partners (FTP)/Atlantic Towers must post as per below.
§IV.F.17. Performance Guarantees:
- Applicant shall, as a condition of the Special Permit:
- Post an initial bond in a reasonable amount determined and approved by the SPGA. This bond shall be in force to cover the costs of the remediation of any damage to the landscape which occurs during the clearing of the Site; and to cover the cost of the removal of the Tower or Facility or Repeater from the Site, and remediation of the landscape, should the Facility or Repeater cease to operate.
- Post a maintenance bond for the access road(s), site(s) and tower(s) in amounts approved by the SPGA.
The minutes from April 12 were read. There was no quorum so the minutes could not be approved.
The board reviewed an application for a special permit from Kutcher’s Sports Academy (KSA). The application is a new set of conditions that KSA has reached agreement on with their neighbors/abutters. Board member Alan Salamon suggested that the board obtain copies of the original Special Permit in order to make sense of the proposed changes. The finding is due May 23, 2012.
The board briefly looked at the special permit application from Jeffrey Lombardo of 62 Worth Lane. The property is in the Lake Buel lakeshore district. Lombardo proposes to demolish an accessory building in the 15’ setback.
The board discussed the upcoming Annual Town Meeting and the Zoning Bylaw revision article therein. Enoch said that we should provide a short history of the impetus from the ZBA and the $11,000 appropriation. Salamon said the Leonard should say as little as possible and turn the floor over to Bobrowski.
The board opened the mail. Other than the aforementioned special permit applications there were two newsletters from BRPC.
There were no reports from Board members.
Meeting adjourned 8:30 p.m.
