Applicant is proposing 22-unit cluster subdivision. Ray Shea appeared before the Board for the applicant and stated that the applicant has received an Alternation of Terrain permit and the State Subdivision permit is ready to be released pending water system approval. He noted that the wells have been drilled and they are currently waiting for the water testing to be completed. He further explained that he submitted a plan to LaBombard Engineering for review after discussion regarding the water run off issue. Mr. Shea stated that Mr. LaBombard, in his most recent review states that the applicant has done as much as they can to address the water run off issues. Mr. Shea further explained that per Mr. LaBombard the applicant will revise the format of the bond estimate and resubmit it to LaBombard engineering. He also noted that Mr. LaBombard has asked for a profile of the roads and explained that the roads will be left at grade and different gravel will be used at the 10-12% grade areas as requested by the Board. Mr. Shea stated that in previous discussions the applicant understood that the Board was satisfied with the information currently provided on the plan regarding the road profiles. Mr. MacMartin asked that a note be placed on the plan that states that the grading will not exceed a certain amount. After discussion, Mr. Shea agreed to show the finished contours of the road on the plan. Mr. Shea stated that Mr. LaBombard is concerned about the oversight of the installation of the roof runoff downspouts. In response to a question from Mr. MacMartin, Mr. Shea stated that he will do some research to determine whether something will be installed to stop debris from entering into the roof runoff systems. Mr. MacMartin suggested that a note be added to the plan that states that if there are any questions as to the roof runoff system installation then the inspector should refer to the designing engineer at the cost of the building permit applicant. The Board and Mr. Shea discussed Mr. LaBombard’s concern that the well road be bonded. Mr. MacMartin suggested that a note on the plan could be added that states that the road to the well is to be completed before the first building permit is granted and noted that he is not concerned about the road to the barn as the Board has determined that the road to the barn is not necessary.
