Meeting recessed for McAllister Estates Public Hearing continuation7:02pm
Meeting 7:05pm
1. McAllister Estates:
Chairman discussed with Board some concerns he has with the new plan submittal.
It appears to him that a significant revision to the definitive plan is being done. If this
is the case the Board should be getting the plan and instructing the engineer to review.
Attorney Kiritsy was asked if this is the plan that Mr. Blair sent to Quinn Engineering (Is it the latest and greatest?). After reviewing several plans the Board found that plans were signed/stamped by different engineers (Hannigan, Kalloch and Cola). Plan was reviewed. Discussion ensued. The Board asked Attorney Kiristy to leave the plan he
presented this evening with the Board to ensure that the “entire set of plans’ are all
together. The Board needs to assure that they are in possession of the “concise set” of plans. Quinn still needs to review the definitive set of plans.
Attorney Kiritsy suggested the Board authorize Quinn to speak with Mr. Blair for clari-
fication to assure both have the same plan.
Time moved that the Board would like to see a compiled, finalized set of plans that the Board could give to Quinn. Dick 2nd. (Not sure that this vote was finalized)
Kevin Quinn informed the Board that Quinn is working presently on the east side which is current but is waiting for the west side. Please clarify
Attorney Kiritsy agreed to bring final definitive plan to the next meeting showing all
addendums and will do a presentation with numbers per the Board’s request.
(Where is the Open Space? What is the percentage of Open Space?).
Continued to 10/26 at 7:00pm.
Fees were briefly discussed with Attorney Kiritsy. According to Chairman, the 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd is only applied to the “consultant fee”, not the “review fee”. Mr. Blair owes
The complete filing fee and 1/3rd of the review fee to date. Preliminary plan came to the
Board with only 4 lots.
Attorney Kirtisy assured the Board that he would contact Attorney Cranston to resolve
invoices once and for all.

4. Discuss Old and New Business:
Quinn will be the Board’s major peer review organization. Discussions ensued with Mr. Quinn to ascertain that everyone is on the same page with reporting, etc. Kevin stated that Quinn Engineering will forward field reports to the board with invoices (on a monthly basis). Kevin was also asked to send these reports on Quinn letterhead. He agreed. Any problems, as they arise, will be forwarded to the Board.
Bear Hill Bridge: Will be discussed at the next meeting.
Pleasantdale Estates retaining wall: The Board has received no details on this.
