7:30 MEET WITH MR. AND MRS. BERG
· Discuss issuance of building permit on Tax Map 15 Lot 03-05: Mr. Parker stated that we need to determine what standard we are going to require them to build this road to. Mr. Methe stated that the problem is if we do not make them adhere to the standards, then does this set a precedence. The road will need to be 16’ wide gravel road with draining, minimum of 6” of crushed gravel on top. From where road comes in from Rhododendron to where driveway starts. The Road Agent will need to inspect at each level. Mr. Parker spoke with the Planning Board with regard to rescinding the remainder of this subdivision. He would like to write a
letter to the Planning Board making this a formal request. Mrs. Thompson will draft this letter for the board’s signature.
Mr. Clukey stated that the board would issue a building permit with the stipulations that the road is brought to standards. Mr. Parker stated that the reason we are allowing this is that this was an approved subdivision created by the Planning Board. Upon consulting an attorney, we were advised that we should issue a building permit. The Bergs will have to sign a waiver to be filed with Registry of Deeds acknowledging that this is not a town maintained road. Mr. Parker explained to the Bergs that the road will need to be a 16’ wide road with drainage and culverts as required, 6-8 crushed gravel on the surface from Rhododendron Road up until their driveway. Mr. Parker also feels that an easement needs to be given to the Pfizer’s to use the portion of this road as access. Mr. Berg stated that he could construct this road prior to the issuance of the building permit. Mr. Methe stated that the Road Agent would need to inspect the road. Mrs. Berg questioned if this was
something the neighbors can appeal. Mr. Parker stated that it is not. Mr. Berg questioned what trees they can cut. Mr. Parker stated that they can cut trees as they wish.
*** PLANNING BOARD: Mr. Parker would like a letter sent to the Planning Board suggesting that we
have Jim Bassett review the tower ordinance.
*** DISCUSS TRASH DUMPED ON TOWN PROPERTY – BALLFIELD: Mr. Methe feels that we should put
a chain across this, there has been dumping of debris. Mr. Methe feels that we need to make a decision
with regard to the status of this field. Mrs. Thompson stated that this became a much larger project then
was originally started. Mr. Parker stated that the money we had at the time he left was sufficient to plant
grass using loam in town and purchasing additional to get the 6-8 inches needed. Mr. Clukey feels that
we should meet with the recreation commission to discuss this matter. The board would like Mrs.
Thompson to discuss with Gene Cuomo the issue regarding installing a gate at this entrance. He will
need to make the entrance smaller.
