7:15
PM J. Heyer called the meeting to
order. The applicants were notified that there was not a full board. The
applicant agreed that
the
3 Board Members were sufficient. The
public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in.
W.
Palmer gave the presentation. Lot 1 has
an existing house in disrepair. They
hope to remove the existing house and construct a
new
home, using the existing access, drilled well and electricity. Access to the new development will be from
the south. They hope to build 4 homes
in that location each with a well and septic.
They are not sure if each lot will individually support the well and
septic, or if some may need to be located in the common land. The developer would like to have 1/5
interest in the common land deeded to each lot, keeping this as a 5 lot
PUD. It was brought up that the State
of Vermont Engineer agreed that he would not treat the open space as a lot,
provided that he receives assurance, usually in the form of a Deed, stating
that this open space can never be developed.
J.
Beers asked about easements. It was
difficult to determine from the map just where the property lines were. There was discussion about the property
lines brought to the center of the road.
This is not a requirement. Mr. Palmer asked if the road could be
closer to the property line than the required 50 feet due to the expense of
moving a power line and due to ledge.
It would also allow better egress from the development. Mr.
Couilliard stated he does not want the road right on his property
line. S. Taylor asked if there would be
trees between the road and the property line. Right now it is an open field.
D. Billado asked for a deviation to the Bylaws to
allow the road to be closer to the property line. G. Wendell asked if
the proposed hammer head was subject to the same set back requirements. The intent is to leave trees in that area. R.
Couillard also asked how close the houses would be to the property line.
D. Billado said they will respect the neighboring property
owners. W. Palmer said this stage was just for conceptual ideas.
R. Couillard was also concerned about his well water.
G. Wendell talked about a land dispute in the past. D.
Billado stated a survey has been done since the dispute. J.
Galluge requested that the trees be kept in the new development. He suggested that the Covenants reflect that
trees should not be cleared in the common land. He also asked about test pits on the new development. The area near Mr.
Galluge
will not have septic systems. The project was declared a minor
subdivision.

1.
Draft copy of Covenants for maintenance of common land including the

D. Soutiere
7:15 PM J. Heyer called the meeting to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. S. Taylor had done the Administrative Review and made the presentation. There is property on both sides of Plains Road, but this Project in only on the west side of Plains Road. Each of the two lots will have approximately 8.32 acres of land. After subtracting out steep slopes, etc, there will be over 2 acres of developable land for each lot. Driveway applications have been submitted. Lot two needs a ditch to channel water to the stream instead of to the road. S. Taylor stated that the project meets all the requirements for both Sketch and Final, including set backs, wells, septics, density, etc. S. Taylor recommended that the DRB approve the project with Conditions. D. Soutiere said that some of the land does not directly go to the Westford line. Mr. Soutiere requested that the approved Road Access Permit be removed from the file due to the inadequacy of the proposed culvert. After much discussion, S. Taylor agreed to add a Condition to the Project to require a 24 inch culvert across the seasonal stream. J. Beers made a motion to approve the Zoning Administrators Recommendation for the Baillargeon Project. C. Rainville second. All in favor.
