Minutes

 

In Attendance:  Alice DiPaolo (WPB Chair), Lori Blier (WPB Secretary), Eric Gagnon (WPB Co-Chair), Lyndon Spaulding (WPB), Brian Johnson (Wales Resident), Paul Ruopp (Surveyor), Bill Austin (Road Commissioner), and Jim and Kristen Glazier (Wales Residents)

 

 

Ø      The meeting was called to order at 7:05.  Lori distributed the minutes and agenda.  The minutes were reviewed by board members and accepted as written. 

Ø      Bill Austin, Brian Johnson and Paul Ruopp were invited to the table for the final subdivision application review of the Wales Station Estates Subdivision.  Bill Austin was invited to the discussion to give his findings on the K-9 Trail Road off from which the Beechnut Lane subdivision road will gain access to the Bull Run Road.  The board discussed the requested waiver for the road width at the stone box culvert.  Bill recommended that reflectors be added to the stone box culvert area to show the narrowing of that section.  After discussion, Board members approved the waiver.  The culvert needs to be replaced/ extended.  Other than that, Bill feels the road meets our specifications.  The board would like to add that K-9 drive be inspected by the Road Commissioner along with the new subdivision road prior to the sale of any lots.  That, along with the waiver and reflector requirement, will be stated in a letter to be registered with the plan at the Registry of Deeds.  Lori will draft that letter and try to get it out by weeks end.  It was moved to approve the plan with the stipulations listed above and seconded.  Board members voted unanimously to approve the plan and signed the plan.

Ø      The board invited Jim and Kristin Glazier to the table to present their final application for the Pine Knoll Subdivision.  They have changed the name of the subdivision to Valley View Estates.  This change has been reflected on the plan and in the covenants documents they brought with them to this meeting.  Board members reviewed the phosphorous and erosion control plan and determined it met the subdivision ordinance requirements.  Members went down through the final application review checklist and determined that all requirements had been met.  Alice motioned that we approve the subdivision as presented, the motion was seconded.  The plan was approved unanimously by the board and the plan was signed by board members.

Ø      Board members continued last meeting’s discussion on the Roger Ouellette Route 126 development.  Bill Austin also joined the conversation to provide what information he could on the DOT entrance permit and waiver documentation.  Based on the information the board currently has, it appears Mr. Ouellette will need a new permit for both the entrance and the building as well as a site plan.  There was some discussion on “process” when the board was trying to determine how Mr. Ouellette was able to obtain a plumbing permit in light of the apparent violations and lack of proper permits and approvals.  It is expected Mr. Ouellette will come to our next meeting, since he missed this one.

Ø      Next regular meeting will be on December 10, 2007.  The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Lori Blier, Secretary
