- Mr. George Lussier question on Estate Lots on Campbell Street:
Mr. Lussier is seeking advice from the Board. He has 6 estate lots and 1 ANR that were approved about 2 years ago. Some of the lines now would change to give Mr. Gasparoni (abutter) more land to ensure privacy. This will be a modification only (land will not be subdivided, just reconfigured).
Chairman stated that as long as all lots meet the estate lot criteria it should be okay. He will however call Attorney Cranston to seek advice.
A motion was made to not require a public hearing because this is a minor modification. Chairman will obtain an answer from Attorney Cranston for October 8th meeting. If he is okay with this the board will sign at the next meeting.
Addison referenced the document he gave to the Board for review a couple of meetings ago. He would like to see it get on the November18 town meeting. Deadline for submission of warrant is 10/3/13 which is before the next Planning Board meeting. The Board will revisit for Spring.
Chair questioned whether the Board would need additional language as to some entity. Who is going to determine that if its appropriate (Planning Board and/or Building Inspector)? He will obtain clarification from Attorney Cranston.
- Rutland Heights Hospital zoning change and road acceptance:
Chairman stated that he spoke with Mr. Michael Sullivan. He informed him that the property was going to be on the upcoming town meeting warrant.
He was looking for verbiage on public hearings on road acceptance and zoning changes.
Chairman thought Mr. Sullivan would be present at this evening’s meeting as he has the as builts. The Board is waiting to receive correspondence from Gary Kellaher, DPW. The zoning part will fall on the Planning Board however the Selectmen will need to hold a public hearing on the road acceptance. The Board, however, is not sure what they are trying to zone as they have not been in the loop.
The Board will wait to hear from Mr. Sullivan. Selectmen’s meeting is on 9/30.
