7:00
PM The warning was read, introductions
were made, and interested persons were sworn in.
Mr. Lynch proposes
to subdivide two 2-acre lots from 41 acres.
Lots 1 and 2 will front onto Buck Hollow Rd. The remaining lot will be Lot 3.
Separate mound systems for Lots 1 and 2 will be located on Lot 3.
(Copy in
italics indicate Mr. Lynchs answers to the Boards questions.)
B. Murphy asked if there would be access
easements for the mounds (a service road
is planned to get to the mounds; need to check with CVPS and VELCO if it is
okay to go through their easements to access the two mound systems.). Have driveway permits been issued? (no). Will there be shared driveways for
the 2 lots to reduce road cuts? (Would
prefer individual driveways). Referring to the gap of land between Lot 2
and the Luman property (which remains part of Lot 3), why leave this gap of
land? (To reroute the VAST (snowmobile)
trail through the property, moving it from where he intends to build his own
home on Lot 3).
M. Casey asked if the CVPS line would be
moved. (Yes, the poles will be moved
closer to the road). What will be the distance of the driveway to the house
on Lot 3? (approx. 600 ft. Dont know the exact route yet). Have
density calculations been done yet. (No). Are there any streams on the property? (a seasonal run-off by the old barn on the
property). Does the VAST trail have
an easement? (No. Properties crossed by the VAST system are at
the hospitality of the landowner).
C. Rainville requested that the total acreage
and density calculations be included on the map, in addition to locations of
proposed septic systems, driveways and wells.
PUBLIC INPUT
C. Vallett asked about the location of the
seasonal stream. S. Taylor explained that after the snow melts the engineer will
identify the exact location of the stream, so that the building envelope can be
adjusted accordingly..
D. Vallett commented on the safety concerns
of putting additional driveways in that area of Buck Hollow Rd. due to a blind
spot. Skip explained that driveways
need 200 ft site distance in each direction.
The road foreman will make recommendations.
Three
driveway access applications will be needed.
Skip asked that the locations of the driveways and lot corners be marked
after the snow melts. A site visit for
the DRB will be scheduled on the same night as the final hearing. B.
Murphy requested a
letter from VELCO with approval to cross their easement.
7:35
Hearing Closed.
