Lin Davidson called the Planning Board Working Meeting to order at 7:25 PM.
Mr. Davidson inquired if there was anyone from the Public that would like to
speak to the Board with issues other than the Agenda items. There were none.
Discussion of Warren Road Planned Development Area, Tax Parcel
# 41.-2-5
Mr. Ben Gustafson, P.E. appeared before the Planning Board requesting to
review the project to clarify some of the issues and to update on the progress
thus far. Mr. Gustafson explained that at the previous Planning Board Meeting a
map was prepared and distributed showing what their Surveyor believed to be
non problematic wetlands and would not hold up the project. Adjustments
without significant disturbances have been made, and the Developer would now
like to divide the project into two different approval phases. The first phase will
be without the official delineation of the Wetlands, and the future second phase
with the Wetland Permit.
Ms. Loncto wanted to clarify for the record that the Developer will be coming
back to the Planning Board for final approval on the second phase, for single
family homes only.
Mr. Gustafson stated they have hired TES, a Wetland Specialist to visit the site
and generate a wetland delineation which they have done and submitted a
certified delineation map to the Army Corps. of Engineers for the entire project.

Ms. Moynihan Schmitt requested that they amend their narrative to clarify for
the public.
Mr. Gustafson indicated that due to the wetlands, some of the lots will have
conservation easements that will prevent people from using the land.
The project will be divided up into 5 construction phases, beginning with the
Townhouses and 2 single family homes and ending with the cul-de-sac area.
Mr. Overstrom advised Mr. Gustafson that they Developer will need to provide a
hammer head turn around for each project phase.
Thomas Ellis still has concerns with not having a bus stop closer to the project
without having to travel to Warren Road. Mr. Gustafson has contacted TCAT
with the Planning Board's request.
With respect to the 239 reply from the County, Ms. Moynihan Schmitt
questioned if the County Transportation Department has been notified for the
Warren Road access. Mr. Gustafson states the information will be going out in
tomorrow's mail to them. Once school begins, the traffic counts will take place.
One other recommendation was for affordable housing and or a density bonus.
Ms. Moynihan Schmitt requested that Mr. Gustafson check with the Developer to
see if he was interested. Mr. Gustafson indicated the Developer does not have an
interest in the bonus.
Due to the Columbus Holiday, it was consensus of the Board to move their
Planning Board Meeting date to Tuesday, October 12, 2010 and place this item on
the Agenda.
Nancy Loncto made a motion to adjourn the Meeting. Richard Prybyl seconded.
