Regular Meeting #06-06

The Regular Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Wayne Addy

Members present: W. Addy, G. Rockwell, R. Tanko, M. Sanders, R. White
Also present: Enforcement Officer C. Jefferson

Members absent: J. Himmelman

Visitors: Raymond Sanford, Don Carlson, Warren Schumack, Charles Elias

Engineer Charles Elias submitted a revised plan for the Sherwood Forest Subdivision proposed for Route 81. A Planning & Zoning review of the plans resulted in some changes required by other town agencies. The proposed entrance to the subdivision has been changed to meet DOT requirements, resulting in the road being a little farther away from the wetlands. Also, a box culvert, rather than a bridge, is now proposed to cross the wetlands. A motion was made by W. Addy and seconded by R. Tanko that the set of plans “Final Subdivision Plan” Subdivision of land to be known as “Sherwood Forest”, Tax Map 37-Lot #3, dated August 30, 2005, with revisions dated September 8, 2006, September 22, 2006, October 7, 2006, October 25, 2006, February 16, 2006, February 28, 2006 and March 10, 2006, be accepted as amended plans for the current permit; with the condition that the work be done in the July 1st through September 30th construction window as recommended in the March 28, 2006 letter to the commission from Joseph M. Dillon, P.E., Nathan Jacobson & Associates, Inc. The motion carried unanimously.

Minutes: The minutes of the March 14, 2006 Regular Meeting were approved by a
consensus of the members.

Enforcement Officer’s Report: Cathie Jefferson provided information on the following:

She received a call from Michael Fraser. He will get a permit application and apply for an After-the-Fact permit.

Seven new Request for Review forms have been submitted.



OLD BUSINESS

B. Notice of Violation to Michael Amato – 92 Parker Hill Road
Maurice Woodworth has been hired to draw up a plan. It has not been submitted to the commission yet.

C. Discussion of IWWC Attorney selection
Discussion was tabled.

D. Town of Killingworth permit application - relocation of Transfer Station and new access road – Route 81
Raymond Sanford, P.E, from TPA design, representing the Town, reviewed the plan for the first phase of the Town Center project. A site walk was conducted on March 25th. Members learned that the proposed pond was designed to the prior best management practices, not the current ones. Members questioned the location of the pond and the road and felt there might be alternatives to the plan that was presented that have lesser impact on the wetlands. Mr. Sanford will discuss the commission’s concerns with his committee and the Land Use Committee. The commission would like to find out if a detention basin is allowed in the wetlands. The DEP (on another project) and the Corps of Engineers (on this project) seem to have differing opinions.

E. Classic Country Homes, LLC (owner), Dennis Bozzuto (applicant) permit application – 142
Little City Road
Members inspected the site on March 25th. Cathie Jefferson informed the members that a permit for this activity had been issued in 2004 to a different property owner. W. Addy moved, seconded by G.
