Laurie will file with the town clerk on 6/27/18 and send out abutters notices.
Blair Projects: There was general discussion about the fact the Blair has many projects and the board feels they do not have copies of the latest plans of these various subdivisions. The board would like to make a request for digital copies of the latest plans for Bear Hill, Bear Hill II, Brice Lemon, Noble Hill, McAllister, and Brintnal Estates. The board wishes for this request be honored no later than August 31st. Dick made a motion to send a letter to Blair request an update on plans for the above mentioned subdivisions in digital form no later than August 31st. Marilyn 2nd, all in favor.
Bear Hill II Surety Reduction: There were 2 Quinn Reports labeled Bear Hill II Surety Estimate. The one dated June 19th was for the entire subdivision and was not discussed at this meeting. The one dated June 26th was for the section of Bear Hill II from +-15+00 to the westerly access to Clealand Circle. Norm viewed the turnaround that was constructed at the end of Arrowhead. He feels with the driveways that are in close proximity that it is a sufficient turnaround. Craig Bacon said he will be up there on 6/27/18 to clean up the construction debris on Bear Hill. Dick made a motion to lower the surety for the portion of Bear Hill II from +-15+00 to the westerly access to Clealand Circle to $4,300.00. Shawn 2nd, all in favor. Laurie will send a letter to Clea for the
reduction of both this Surety and the Bear Hill Surety that was voted on in the previous meeting.
Bear Hill: Dick is concerned with the number of E1 pump hookups up the hill from Pommogussett. If the check valve breaks he is concerned with the sewerage backing up into a house. He questioned if the town would be liable at the Selectman meeting. At the BOS meeting Margaret Nartowicz said it is the homeowner’s responsible to maintain the E1 pumps.
Brice Lemon: The Quinn Report from 6/26/18 was reviewed by the board.
Town Planner Position: The position has been advertised. They plan to post the job in a few more locations. Ron Barron’s contract expires at the end of July and, if the town planner position is not filled by this point, the board will look into extending his contract.
CMRPC Growth Management Stage 2 Steering Committee: After some discussion, Dick agreed to be the representative for the planning board and Shawn will be the ConCom rep.
