PUBLIC HEARING
WOODS OF OLD LYME (OLD LYME HEIGHTS) – PLACING A NOTICE OF RESTRICTION ON CONVEYANCE OR TRANSFER OF TITLE OF PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE PROPOSED WOODS OF OLD LYME SUBDIVISION
McCarthy noted that during the review process of the proposed subdivisions even though the application was never approved several engineering reviews, site meetings, and legal fees were incurred.
Ross asked why the term Notice of Restriction was used rather than lien. McCarthy stated it is a restriction on transfer or conveyance of title. Ross asked why the amount of outstanding fees was not put in the Notice. Groves noted that legal fees will still be incurred until the issue is resolved. She also noted that the amount currently due was approximately $16,000.00. Kerr stated the amount should be left open to avoid any further notices being required until the issue is settled.
Ross stated he felt the notice should be more explicit stating that these fees must be paid before any property can be conveyed or transferred. Groves also noted that a final document will prepared for both the Chairman of the Planning Commission and the Inland Wetlands and Watercourse Commission to sign and then will be recorded on the land records in the Town Clerks office.
Chris Kerr made a motion to close the public hearing. Steve Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
