ANRS: Mark Elbag, Jr. presented 2 ANRS. The first one was to reconfigure Lot 1 on Princeton Road to make it larger. The board reviewed the plans. Dick moved to endorse the ANR. Shawn 2nd, all in favor. It was requested by Jeff Bagg that in future ANR plans to have a plan showing the current lot configuration and one showing the proposed lot configuration so that the board can easily see what the changes are.
Mark presented a second ANR to create Lot 1 on Glenwood Road. This is creating a non-buildable lot to be conveyed to the abutter to have some land to build an addition. The map incorrectly shows Brintnal Drive labeled as Brintnal Road and Campbell Street labeled as Campbell Road. It was requested that this be corrected when filed at the registry of deeds. Marilyn made a motion to endorse the ANR. Dick 2nd, all in favor. Both ANRS were signed.
Check #1181 in the amount of $800 was accepted from Elbag Brothers, Inc. for the 2 ANRS.
Public Hearing – Pleasantdale Estates, LLC to create an estate lot at 10 Wheeler Road:
Opened: 7pm Closed: 7:55pm
See public hearing minutes. Note: There was discussion of the 2 ANRs on Main Street during the public hearing because they are on the same plan.
Wheeler Road: In reference to the Wheeler Road estate lot, Tim O’Connor asked where the sewer connection would be. He wanted to know if it affected his easement. Clea said no, it will not.
ANRS: The discussion returned to the 2 ANRs Lots E and F. Shawn and Marilyn both feel they meet the requirements. Marilyn finds the issue on Bonnie Brae concerning, but does not see how it relates to the ANRs. Norm agreed with Marilyn. Dick is concerned about who will own Bonnie Brae Circle in the future. Currently it is owned by the Blair. Blair says he has no intention of building that road.
Marilyn made a motion to endorse the ANR portion of the proposed plans. Shawn 2nd. Marilyn, Shawn and Norm voted favorably. Dick opposed.

Public Hearing - CB Blair Development Corp. application to create 6 estate lots on Glenwood Place:
Opened: 8:04pm Recessed: 8:10pm
See public hearing minutes.
Glenwood Place: Silvia questioned if there was a draft of the new trust for her to have a copy of. Norm explained that it is still a work in progress. Silvia asked if it would be finished by the next meeting. This is unclear at this time. It was requested that further conversation regarding Glenwood Place be held until the public hearing at the next meeting. Silvia requested minutes from previous meetings. She was told that she needs to submit a request in writing for public records.
Grizzly Drive: Clea got in contact with his construction company who put in the drainage in that area. They claimed the missing catch basins were put in. They investigated with a metal detector and the catch basins are not there. Clea said they will be put it in. Tom Galvin asked when. Clea said he believes around July 25th. Clea stated that they did not get put in due to an error. The plans dated 5/6/2010 showed the basins greyed out as if they already existed. This was an error as the basins were not put in. Clea said this will be corrected and that the town will not accept the road unless the road is built as shown on the 2/5/04 which was the Definitive Plane of Bear Hill attached to the Galvin’s deed (book 825 plan 6).
Revised Application Forms: Jeff is working on revising the application forms. Dick asked that Jeff add check number to the form. Jeff is going to have one page for instructions and one page for a fee schedule. Scenic road permits do not have an application. Jeff will create one. Jeff was not sure what the fee would be. Norm said abutters’ notices are required for scenic roads. Jeff is combining all special permit requests into one form. Norm asked Jeff to revise the language of common driveways. Norm said it might be useful to have checklists of bylaw requirements.
Review Wachusett Street Solar Project Application: The board reviewed the site plan review plans. Dick found it odd that it seems to be on the backside of a hill facing north. The developer is Nexamp. The projected nameplate capacity is 2.0 MW / AC. The board wants to do a site visit. Jeff recommended this be before the hearing on a separate date. Police, fire, DPW, conservation committee should have copies of the plans for review. Jeff will reach out to the applicant for an electronic copy. Check number 37224 in the amount of $715.68 was submitted for this project. We need to check on the abutter’s list. The public hearing will be set for August 22nd at 7pm.
Plans for Addison Redfield: Tim purchased the gift and submitted the receipt. August 2, 3, 9, or 10th are still the potential dates of the party. Norm will reach out to Addison once he finds out the availability at the tavern.
Shawn moved to close the meeting. Marilyn 2nd, all in favor.
Closed: 9:52pm
