- Gary MacLeod (email dated 8/24/15) from Horn Hastings Associates, Inc. Princeton, MA
Mr. MacLeod is an appraiser who has been asked to perform an appraisal on Nobel Hill Estates property for a bank. He would like to receive confirmation that the approvals for the open space subdivision (signed 1/27/09) have not expired and what date they are good through. He also asked what the general process was if the developer wished to go to individual on-site wells in lieu of municipal water, given that the zoning specifies sewer and water. Would they be required to increase the lot areas of the lots?
Tim stated that he believes Noble Hill has been approved more than 2 years.
Chairman Anderson believes that entire zoning is no longer based on water and sewer which is no longer part of zoning except for open space subdivisions.
This could be a Board of Health issue. Also, is there a 1 acre minimum lot size for water and sewer? Rutland now only has R-40 and R-60 now. Open space is still in effect. An extension may be needed if permits have expired. Town of Rutland Zoning Bylaw was referenced. Discussion ensued
Chairman Anderson will phone Mr. MacLeod.
Of note: Only Chairman and Marilyn have revised 2011 zoning books. Susan will contact Anita to obtain the latest revision with amendments through 2011 for Tim, Addison, Dick and herself.

Addison, Marilyn 2nd, all in favor.
