ORB,LLC - SKETCH PLAN REVIEW

 

DRB Roll Call: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, S. Jones, C. Rainville

Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA; R.A. Rooney, J. Sikora, T. Witt, V. Russo, M. Russo, N. Benoit,

                           J. Padgett, C. Ouellette

 

7:15 PM             J. Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in.  J. Padgett, Engineer, made the presentation. This is a re-submission of a prior project.  The project is now a PUD – Planned Unit Development.  All the lots are surrounded by the common area for the PUD.  All stormwater areas and wetlands are on the common land.  The tax burden for lot 9, which includes all the common area, will be shared by all, as specified in the Covenants. B.  Murphy asked about the pedestrian path and the easements to the common land.  J. Heyer asked about the trash collection.  The applicant will contact the current trash hauler.  B. Murphy asked about Vista Green Lane Road, it will not be utilized, as Pheasant Run Road will now be a loop with both ends on Cherrierville.  B. Murphy said this new project does meet the intent of a PUD. Sidewalks and lighting were also brought up, per C. Ouellette, none are planned. Drainage requirements will be part of the Stormwater Permit. 

 

T. Witt, asked about: a) the easements to the common land; b) the walkway around the perimeter; c) motorized vehicles on the common land; and d) cutting wood on the common land.  Some of these items will be clarified in the Covenants.  N. Benoit asked: a) if the road will be paved.  The road will be gravel. b) If the owners will be in control of the whole area after the lots are sold.  There will be an Association with Bylaws that will be formed c) When the building will start. Per C. Ouellette, the homes will probably not be built this year, however the infrastructure will be started this year. J. Padgett mentioned the State rules for Wastewater will probably change, so they are waiting for a decision. 

 

J. Padgett, Engineer, asked the Board if they would consider the project a minor subdivision.  The Board discussed this option and all agreed they were willing to deviate from the definition of a Minor Subdivision which states it can not have a community septic. The Board is allowed declare a project a minor subdivision at their discretion.  The Board declared the project a minor subdivision.  A site visit was not required, as the Board previously viewed the area.  B. Murphy made a motion to accept the Sketch Plan as submitted with action items and/or changes noted.  C. Rainville second.  All in favor.  The Board agreed to put the Preliminary/Final hearing on the schedule for September 19, 2007, only if the Zoning Administrator determines that all the required materials have been submitted by August 22, 2007.

            1.    Sketch Plan Preview and Checklists by Zoning Administrator.
