Two projects were scheduled for August 20, 2008 – Sketch Plan for Horr, and Final Plat Revision for Covi/Jones. The Mylar for Pam Supernault was reviewed. There was no box for the DRB approval or for the Town recording information. The Board would not sign the Mylar. The paper map and Mylar for Rene Boissoneault was reviewed. The Board questioned the line that was shown from the 10 acre lot that was never recorded. The line gave the appearance of a three lot subdivision.

CASSIDY ESTATES –
FINAL PLAT REVIEW
DRB Roll Call: J.
Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Rainville
Alternate
Present: S. Jones
Public Present: J. Beers, J. Caissy, R. Greenough, B. Superneau, C.
Collins
7:30 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. J. Beers recused herself from the hearing due to interested party status. B. Murphy questioned the width of the ROW. She also asked B. Superneau if any units would be qualified as “affordable” housing. VHFA guidelines would be used, which means a price point of $275,000.or below. The project will have homes below that price. Warranty Deeds and Covenants were also discussed. B. Murphy asked if sidewalks would be considered to connect lots 1 & 2 to the rest of the PUD, and for access to the common land. This was discussed in length. R. Greenough said a sidewalk easement would be too close to his house. He also questioned the maintenance of any sidewalk. J. Beers said a sidewalk in the location near Fletcher Road would look strange and uncharacteristic for the neighborhood. It would cut into the duplex properties. There is access to the common land on the backside of both lots 1 & 2. B. Superneau mentioned snowmobiles would use the sidewalk as a path for their vehicles. C. Rainville concluded that a sidewalk on the front of the property would have no benefits.
There was discussion on the violation that was created by selling the duplex lots without the required amount of acreage. J. Beers understood that the Planned Unit Development Subdivision will resolve the violation. If the PUD was not approved by the DRB, then the Duplex Units would require 4 acres of land. J. Caissy talked about the speed of the traffic along Fletcher Road. J. Heyer suggested that a letter be sent to the Selectboard requesting a reduction of the speed limit. There was more discussion about the Covenants. B. Murphy asked about the blank page with the title Description of Land. Since the Attorney drafted the Covenants, the applicant was not able to answer that question. J. Beers mentioned her main concern with the Covenants and Bylaws was how they functioned and clarified responsibilities.
The ROW and the logging road were discussed. B. Murphy asked if will be cleared. B. Superneau said it will be clearly marked as a trail. B. Murphy was concerned that people will cut through private property. There was more discussion on lots 1 & 2 being part of the PUD. C. Collins said a large portion of the development will be left undisturbed, and all the lots are on one side of the property. The layout would have been different if the duplex was not already built. C. Rainville made a motion to close the hearing to public input and move to deliberative. S. Jones second. All in favor.
