subdivision on Hunt Hill Rd.'- there was no one present for the
applicant. The long EAF form which Mr. Slater had sent to Mr. Hines,
attorney for Mr. Block, has not been received. A copy of a letter
to Mr. Hines from Mr. Andersen, Tomp. Co. Health Dept., was read.
It appeared that the Health Dept. and Mr. Hines -had not been able to
get together to adequately review the proposal. There were 19 people
present (names on file with zoning officer) who wished to go on
record as being opposed to the proposal feeling that the area has
some substantial problems with drainage, possible well contamination,
and that the proposed subdivision is not in keeping with the character
of the area nor with the defined purpose of the zone in the zoning
ordinance. Moved, 2nd, Carried to not approve the proposed
subdivision. Applicant will have to reapply if he wishes to be
considered again. Members of the public present expressed interest
in the definition of a subdivision, possible zoning changes, and
were encouraged to attend Planning Board meetings and Town Board
meetings and related meetings.
2. Public Hearing on application of Richard and Mary Neff for
modification of their proposed subdivision on North Rd. to allow
2!1 g it into two or more phases. Mr. Novelli appeared with
Mr. and Mrs. Neff. The proposal, originally'designed for 15 lots
has been reduced to 14 lots to allow adequate separation distances
and buffering on what was originally lot 1 (the apartment lot) and
lot 2. The dimensions of the lots on the north side have been
adjusted. Raised fill systems are being proposed. Phase l will
include lots 112,7,8, and 9 to station 8, the most effective
stopping point for installation of utilities. Total length of road
on Phase 1 will be approx. 850' with much of it already started for
the apartment building on Lot 1. Mr. Lavine is still concerned about
the length of dead -end roads. Mr. Novelli has provided Mr. Slater
with some information on national standards which we will consider
at our next meeting. One of the streams, which we had thought
might be a classified stream, apparently is classified only for a
short distance, and that is far enough from the proposed development
to.not.cause problems. Mr. Slater will check and adjust his records
accordingly. There were no comments from the public on this proposed
modification. Moved,2nd,Car*ried to a)approve the development as a
whole in concept and b') to grant approval to Lots 1,2,7,8 and 9 as
Phase 1 subject—'to usual Health Dept approval, acceptance of the
