Heyer, S. Jones, B. Murphy, C. Rainville
Public Present: S.
Taylor, Z.A.; C. Steen, M. Day; M. Dickerson; J. Tucker
7:15 PM J.
Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees
signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. M. Day of Trudell Consulting
Engineers made the presentation. The Applicants want to remove two septic
easements showing on the final Plat (one on lot 2 for lot 1, and one on lot 1
for lot 2) due to a change in the State Wastewater Regulations that were
approved in September, 2007. They are
asking for approval of a revised final Plat without the prior septic easements.
J. Heyer asked if the acreage is the same.
There are no changes to the boundary line or acreage. S. Jones asked about the power easement. The
only other change is a note on the Plat indicating that the 40 foot wide access
easement is also designated as a utility easement. C. Rainville made a motion
to close the hearing to public input and move to deliberative.
B. Murphy second. All in favor.

YOUNG – CONTINGENT TO
FINAL APPROVAL
DRB Roll Call: J.
Heyer, S. Jones, C. Rainville, P. Rainville
Public Present: B.
Murphy; S. Taylor, Z.A.; B. Young; C. Steen; J. Tucker; S. Nalepa; A. Haley; T.
Loiselle
7:30 PM J. Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. B. Young asked if B. Murphy should be recused, as she had recused herself from the original hearing. B. Murphy was on the Church Board at the time of the original hearing, but she is no longer on the Church Board. B. Murphy recused herself from this hearing due to the applicant’s request. This hearing was initiated on advice of the Town Attorney to address the issue of approval status only. The correspondence from the Town Attorney could not be presented to the public due to Attorney/Client privilege. C. Steen asked under what Bylaw the Board was reviewing this issue. J. Heyer said it was illegal to grant Contingent Approval to a project. Issues that were brought up included: revisions to the project, minutes from prior hearings, State Permits, State Statute, consistency of following the Bylaws, conditions on original approval, and other topics. B. Murphy spoke as an observer since her name was mentioned by those in attendance. She said that giving the project final approval would make the process clean. State Statute overrules local authority. It is not the Town’s responsibility to oversee State Permits. C. Steen brought up her opinion that what is being approved has been revised. The Board again stated that the final approval is based on what was approved on February 19, 2003 and all the conditions stated then, are still in effect. B. Young stated she will be back for a revision hearing after the Act 250 hearing. Act 250 requires that final approval is in place. P. Rainville made a motion to move the Young/McDonald Project from Contingent Approval to Final Approval.
C. Rainville second. J. Heyer, C. Rainville, S. Jones and P. Rainville in favor. A letter will be sent to the applicant.
