7 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order.
The public notice was read, introductions made, and
interested persons sworn in.
There was discussion regarding a quorum of the Board
for an eventual deliberative. It was
suggested that an alternate who was present at the site visit and the Sketch
Plan hearing could review the files and
minutes from the Final Plat Hearing and participate in the deliberative, allowing 4 members to deliberate. Lee Pfanstiel concurred.
Michael Averill explained a proposed Boundary
Adjustment between the Pfanstiel and Spaulding properties, moving Lot 3 West 75
feet, adding that distance to the Spauldings West boundary.
A curb cut has been granted by the Town for Crosby Rd.
The site plan included a25-ft. access easement on the
north boundary of Lot 4 giving access to 2 septic areas on Lot 4 and the
Spaulding lot. The lines for Lots 4 and
5 were also straightened, making the lots more rectangular in shape and Lot 4
slightly larger.
There was discussion regarding wetlands and language
on the map, added leach-fields, and well locations on each lot, in addition to
the 25-foot septic easement. Additional
discussion included power lines and an easement from Crosby Rd. to Lot 1 for possible
future development, which has been eliminated.
J. Heyer asked about a building envelope on Lot 4. C.
Rainville asked for clarification on the 25-ft. easement to the
leach-fields located on Lot 4.

Jere Johnson presented a petition signed by 5 of 7 neighbors (total
11 signatures) to stop further development.

development. Both
documents were submitted. Mr. Johnson
claimed that 2 neighbors (not abutters but with septic systems on Lot 4) were
not notified of the meeting. There was
discussion regarding State statute requirements on notification. Skip explained Town practice and that a
reasonable attempt was made and was not materially misleading. It was also explained that the sign with the
red P was posted by the applicant for all to see. There was additional explanation about public notices and
reasonable effort, leaving the decision up to the Board as to whether to continue. The Board agreed to continue. Mr. Johnson disagreed with the Boards
decision and is noted.
