Discussions
GRAZ Engineering, 20 Paddock Road
There was an existing cart path and culverts. The culverts were replaced and the crossing was updated. A new company is looking to update the area, and are taking over for Quinn Engineering. The only change to the old Order of conditions would be to add silt fencing, and they are filing a new Notice of Intent. Joe told him we would like to do a site walk. Bryan MacEwen from GRAZ Engineering would like to do the flagging first so the site walk will be scheduled on October 11, 2017 at 10:00 AM. Hearing will be October 17, 2017 at 7:15 PM.
Ian Duncan, 38 River Road
Needs a new roof on the covered bridge, and needs to do the under pinning as well. He would like to know what he needs to do to get all correct permits, etc. Joe told him he needs to do a Notice of Intent and submit it to the Board. Joe also told him that he could call Jeff Lacy at DCR to see what they require. Ian spoke to Jeff who told him that the DCR won’t need to be involved for the roof.
