JOACHIM -  FINAL PLAT REVIEW

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

Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA; D. Bell, D. Joachim

 

7:45 PM             J. Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. D. Bell, Engineer and D. Joachim made the presentation. S. Jones mentioned the hammerhead. B. Murphy questioned the area for trash that was showing on the plan.  It does not seem to be large enough.  Mr. Joachim hopes the town goes to private trash contractors.  Mr. Joachim stated he wants the development to be attractive and does not want to provide a large feeding area for pests.  He mentioned areas in town that seem to be safety hazards on trash pick-up day.   A letter from Clean Green was previously submitted, but the Town now has a different trash hauler.  The DRB members would like to get clarification from the Selectboard as to what direction the town will be heading as far as trash pick-up is concerned. 

 

S. Jones asked about the Covenants – they will be refined.  S. Jones also asked about the size and style of available homes.  Various options will be available to potential buyers to choose the style they want. Each lot will get to share the view.  It has not been determined if the lots will be improved before they are sold. 

C. Rainville made a motion to close the hearing to public input and move to deliberative.   B. Murphy second.  All in favor.
