Vote: 3-0,

Ron Trottier,
Ronald
Trottier appeared before the board to discuss the possibly of creating two lots
on his family property of approximately 12 acres on
SJW advised
the Board that basically, they were looking to create a back lot subdivision
and he was looking for a Planning Board opinion. BJS questioned the agreement concerning the
ownership and maintenance of the drainage easement. Mr. Trottier advised him that it was all
spelled out in the agreement.
Attorney
Joseph Antonellis appeared the applicant’s son, Kevin DiSImone. Attorney Antonellis outlined the proposed
subdivision for the Board. The only waiver asked for was the
changing of plans to 40 to 1 scale.
SJW asked
about the Water Resource District.
Attorney Antonellis indicated that they would not meet the threshold to
require a water resource special permit.
He did not have the figures, but Paul DiSImone had given him the
information. The calculations will be
presented to the Board at another time for their review.
SJW advised
Attorney Antonellis that they should file a notice of intent with Conservation
Commission so that the hearings would be concurrent with the definitive
subdivision.
SJW
suggested that a cluster development be considered. Attorney Antonellis answered that because of
the areas where suitable percs were found the lots need to be larger to
accommodate the systems. BJS suggested a
shared system, but Attorney Antonellis stated they wanted to stay away for
shared systems with the subdivision.
SJW
reminded Attorney Antonellis that the storm water regulations had been updated
since Mr. DiSimone had been an applicant before the board, and he should make
sure that he refers to the new regulations.
Don DiMartino
comments were reviewed and they will try to configure the roadway at 9% it is
steep. And a “bear to plow”. It is below
the legal limit.
The street
is to be considered a lane which allows for a 12% grade. They will however, look at the engineering and
see what can be done. Don DiMartino had
also spoken with the applicant regarding the installation of a water line to be
used for future access.
Dunkin Donuts Noise Mitigation
SJW
scheduled people in 5 minute intervals to present their noise mitigation
requests. BJS advised all present that
they need only to state their name, address and mitigation completed or to be
completed. SJW advised that she would
require the social security numbers of the recipients as the money is
considered taxable income. BJS let the
people in the audience know that this $40,000 in mitigation monies is all that
will be available to residents and that Dunkin Donuts was very generous as they
did not have to establish this fund but did so as part of being a good
neighbor.
