GENERAL MINUTES
Members Present: J.
Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Streets, J. Beers
Alternate
Present: L. Hayes
Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA
7:00 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order. The General Minutes for 08/19/2009 were reviewed.
B. Murphy made a motion to approve the General Minutes from 08/19/2009. J. Beers second. All in favor.
The Billado PUD Project on Goose Pond Road was scheduled for Oct. 7, 2009. The paper map for the Nichols
Road, LLC (Wiggins) project was reviewed. C. Streets made a motion to accept the paper map for the Nichols Road, LLC project, B. Murphy second. All in favor. In the future, for Plat Revisions, the Board would like to have a Survey Map prepared for the Site Plan Review, so the Board can use it to compare the paper map. The alternative would be for an Engineer to certify all changes on the Final Plat from the original hearing.
S. Taylor, ZA brought up a request by Jeff Clokey regarding the recently approved animal composting business.
A condition of the project is to put up a five foot high screening, either a fence or hedge. Mr. Clokey asked
S. Taylor if the Board would allow a temporary round bale fence covering only the areas he disturbs, while the
longer hedge is planted and grows to the required height. B. Murphy thought a hearing should be required for
neighbor’s input. J. Beers was concerned about the timing of putting in the hedge, and possible delays in having the hedge completed. The Board agreed that if this proposal was brought up at the previous hearing, they would have considered it then with the public present, but to make any changes now will require a revision hearing.

MILLS – SKETCH PLAN
REVIEW – 4 LOT SUBDIVISION – 220 SAM WEBB ROAD
Members Present: J.
Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Streets, J. Beers
Alternate Present: L. Hayes
Public Present: S.
Taylor, Z.A.; G. Mills; J. Lovell
7:20 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. Gary Mills gave the presentation. B. Murphy wanted confirmation that the density for each of the lots will be at least 2 acres. The Plat can not state “plus or minus” for lots that were just 2 acres.
The property will be re-surveyed and the exact acreage and density calculations will be shown. G. Mills asked If the new road could be shortened on lot 4, due to frontage on both sides of the road. There was discussion on frontage, and it was determined that the road could be shorter than shown on the submitted map. The hammerhead could be moved to face a different direction. The problem with the Deed to the property was brought up. That is a legal issue and not a Town Issue. The problem has been resolved. B. Murphy was
uncomfortable with developing “spaghetti” shaped lots. The location of the road and driveways were discussed.
A trash collection area has already been determined. The Board agreed this project can go to the next step, a
Final Plat hearing, after all the requirements have been reviewed by the Zoning Administrator.
EXHIBITS RECEIVED:
1. Letter from Brad Ruderman, Engineer, requesting the proposed road be shortened, and asking if the
hammerhead could face a different direction.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Road Access Permit to be submitted to and approved by the Selectboard.
2. Road Name Application to be submitted to and approved by the Selectboard.
3. Correct acreage and density calculations to be shown on Plat.
A site visit was scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 6:30
PM.

LOVELL – SKETCH PLAN REVIEW - 4
LOT SUBDIVISION – 41 MAPLE HILL ROAD
Members Present: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Streets, J. Beers,
Alternate Present: L.
Hayes
Public Present: S.
Taylor, Z.A.; J. Lovell
7:15 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. J. Lovell made the presentation. This property was owned by Murray, and was brought
to environmental court for a subdivision that was denied by the DRB. The Court Ordered the Board to approve the original subdivision. Mr. Lovell now wants to subdivide the largest lot. J. Heyer asked about the pavement on the road. Mr. Lovell had to re-do the road base and pave the road. Frontage requirements were discussed.
A suggestion was made to move the property lines to the center of the road, so the frontage requirements could be met.
B. Murphy asked about erosion. There is some sand and ledge on the property, but erosion should not be a problem. A Storm Water Permit from the State will probably be needed. B. Murphy asked about trash containment. The site has been identified, and something should be built to contain the cans and keep the area safe from animals and wind. The Board agreed this project can go to the next step, a Final Plat hearing, after all the requirements have been reviewed by the Zoning Administrator.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. All lots to have required 200 feet of frontage.
2. Move property lines to center of roadway.
3. Plat to show contour lines in 5 ft. intervals
4. Verify density calculations for each lot
5. Confirm with utility company regarding ROW easement on property.
6. Plat to identify site for trash pick-up.
A site visit was scheduled for Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 6:15 PM
