Planning Board - Town of Dryden 9 /29/88
Caldwell, Friedman, Chase, Rotunda
1Public Hearing - application'of Stephen White /Charles Dollaway for a 13 lot
subdivision at Wood and.Etna•Rd. Engineer D. Herric appeared for developers.
Lots are minimum of 1 ac. Health Dept rept. reviewed. Engineer's rept. received.
The proposed name of Spruce Lane is now Spruce Ridge Lane since we had some
concern over possible duplication of name causing confusion. The Enat fire dept,
finds no problem with the proposed roadway. We had some concerns over certain
drainage issues specifically Lots 7,8,9. The 18" culvert at the SW corner has
had about 72Ac of the watershed area going through it. This has often been closed
off because of apparent problems further downstream. The developer suggests that
this culvert be blocked to divert the water to larger culverts in other areas.
Ken Tillapaugh asked for clarification of the drainage plan which was given.
The hearing was closed.(-The EAF was reviewed and appeared satisfactory. Moved, 2nd
Carried that a Negative Declaration be issued. Moved, 2nd, Carried to grant
preliminary- 'approval.subject to Health,.Dept, approval, a satisfactory drainage
plan, road completion and acceptance, and Highway Dept. approval in writing of
an acceptable solution to the issue of the 18" culvert.
2. Minutes of 8/18/88 approved as submitted(M,2nd, Carried)
3. Sketch conference for Mark Stevens. New proposal - Mr. Herrick representing
Mr. Stevens. ..EAF submitted with maps. Drainage had been a major concern with
this property. A perimeter ditch will be installed behind the homes which will
alleviate the problems. A question had been raised in the previous proposal
regarding a possible designated stream which will not be part of this proposal.
The matter is before the.Health Dept. now so no report is ready yet. Lot #1 well
has 35gpm and there appears to be no prcblem in supply. Road length will be
enough for current proposal with additional length proposed for later building
with possibility of public water. Areas of concern raised with Mr. Herrick are
water availability, drainage with both its impact on the immediate neighborhood and
possibly on a classified stream, the need for a report from Mr. Anderson, and road
information', Public Hearing set for 10/20/88. 8:00PM.
4. Sketch conference for Mr. Heath for lot line change on Cricket Lane subdivision:
Wishes to adjust his lot line to make his lot approx. 5 ac. The issue was raised
as to whether the remaining lot would then become a sub - standard lot. Mr. Heath
will arrange to buy both parcels (Mr. Smith, the owner is his.father -in -law) The
Planning Board felt this was reasonable but felt that a hearing would be required
as it is.a modification of an existing subdivision. Mr. Heath will contact us
about a hearing date after seeing Mr. Anderson and will prepare an EAF.
5. Lott /Lim (Howser Meadows). Members discussed the proposed deed restrictions and
access to the common land by easements (not rights of way). Bylaws of Concord MA
homeowner's group will be used as model and will be given to.Mr. Schlecht for
preparation. Material from Atty. Patte has been furnished to Town Atty, and we
have had no comment. Homeowners group would have right to sell the common area to
the Town or some other conservation group such as the Audobon Soc'y. Heath Dept,
final approval pending. M,2nd,C to grant final approval contingent upon Health
Dept. approval and incorporation of the deed restrictions and homeowners association
bylaws in completed form.similar to the ones presented,
