Case # P07-08-SUB: (continued) Little River Realty Trust, Lucille Howard, Trustee – Stage Road – Map 17 Lot 25 – Application for a 6- lot Subdivision (acceptance, compliance review, and final approval)
Case # P07-09-SUB: (continued) Leonard Giles Revocable Trust, Leonard Giles, Trustee – Gebig Road – Map 17 Lot 31 – Application for a 23- lot Subdivision (acceptance, compliance review, and final approval)
Point of Order: The Board has agreed to hear these projects as one. Each project depends on the other.
Chris Albert; the surveyor on this project gave the Board an update of the progress of the project. Everyone has received copies of both Compliance Review memos from Jack Mettee, dated Feb. 1, 2010. Mr. Albert noted that both projects have been submitted for the State Subdivision Approval. Mrs. Sears noted that we have received approval for the Howards but not Giles. Mr. Albert noted that the Howard’s project didn’t have any wetlands impact.
Mr. Howard noted that the State still has the Site Specific approvals; they are not approved but have been accepted. The Wetlands permit will be submitted to the State on February 4th. He also noted he is still trying to get the third party, Bear-Paw regional Greenways into the project to manage the conservation easement part of the project.
Mr. Albert briefly reviewed some of the main points discussed in Mr. Mettee’s compliance memo. Discussion again came back to old regulations and the new regulations and where this project fits in in regards to allowing wells and septic systems in the setbacks. Mrs. Sears left the meeting to get a copy of the June 26, 2007 memo of the Planning Board on the topic. It was noted that Mr. Mettee was aware that this project has been ongoing and falls under the old subdivision regulations.
Chair Canney asked about all the curbing in the project. Mr. Albert asked if using a different kind of curbing would require a waiver for it. The Board did not answer.
Mrs. Sears returned and read the memo in regards to wells and septic systems in setbacks.
The Board reviewed the plans on the lots suggested by Mr. Mettee that have similar issues. Mr. Albert stated that the wells that went over the boundary lines were minor and he could adjust them. Mr. Albert stated that he had not reviewed each individual lot. Mr. Albert agreed if it was appropriate that he could request a waiver for this but if needing to go to the ZBA was an issue then he did not want to have to go do that. The Board made no decision on this topic. The Board would like Mrs. Sears to ask Mr. Mettee for his opinion on the topic.
They also discussed Mr. Mettee’s point in regards to the Board receiving the proper legal arrangements/documentation to ensure that both subdivisions get constructed simultaneously. Mrs. Sears doesn’t believe a waiver would work. It was suggested that it could be a condition of approval or a separate legal document.
Mr. Albert explained that to meet the drainage requirements they are now at 13,000 sq. ft. of wetlands impact. He noted that he will get the Board a copy of the drainage report.
The Fire Dept. has sent their approval for the locations of the retention ponds on the latest plans.
Ms. Mooney suggested that Mr. Albert return to the Conservation Commission for an updated presentation.
Mrs. Sears wanted to follow up, that the Road Agent had requested that vegetation on Gebig Road be cleared for better site line. Mr. Albert stated he understood where he was referring to and agreed to take care of it.
