(Aye) Thomas Ellis, Member Mike Long, Planning Consultant invited the Planning Board Members to attend the Comprehensive Plan Meeting on Wednesday, December 12, 2014 @ 7:00 PM in the Town Hall to listen and view the findings on the Transportation portion from the Connect Design- Committee. Mr. Long has been provided with a Draft of their findings which will forwarded to all the Planning Board Members. Mr. Ellis encouraged the Members to review the Draft and come prepared with any questions they may have. Discussion-Thaler, 1 Flag Lot, P/O Tax Parcel 40.-3-2.12, Warren Road Lynn Day, Zoning Officer offered the following history thus far for the Thaler Project. According to Lynn, the Planning Board was given a presentation on a proposed 30 lot subdivision which the Board was in agreement with. Engineer, Larry Fabbroni returned again to the Planning Board with a proposed 9 lot Subdivision which included the above Flag Lot # 7. The Board approved the Sketch Plan, however, Mr. Thaler has a perspective buyer for Lot 7 who would like to get started on a new residence in February. Engineer Fabbroni would like to have this approved prior to full approval of the other lots. Mike Long, Planning Consultant states T.G. Miller’s have done their preliminary review of the Stormwater practices and have determined that this particular lot has been included in the overall practices at which time each lot would have their own onsite stormwater garden. Mr. Long states the Board already knows how the 30 Subdivision is going to be laid out. Mr. Long indicated Mr. Fabbroni is very close to bringing the entire Subdivision back to the Board. He has done his soil borings for all of the sites and all he needs are a few sets of numbers for the Health Department. Time is of essence and the Developer would like to move this flag lot along. Larry Sharpsteen inquired from other Members to whether they thought the Board would be setting precedent by approving this one lot out of the 30 lot subdivision. Al Fiorille felt this is similar to the Sunpath Subdivision and the Board made that Applicant go through the formal procedures. Lynn Day states this is very similar to Lake Forest Circle Subdivision when the Rieger 1 lot property was approved by this Board. The Planning Board did not see the overall plan at that time. At least with this proposal, you have seen the overall plan. Lynn further states in the approved Resolution it did say that the Applicant could not move further without seeing the overall plan. A condition similar to that could be placed on the Flag Lot approval. Thomas Ellis, Chairman stated he spoke with legal representation this afternoon and was advised in legal’s opinion, this is segmentation. 6:45 PM Richard Prybyl excused from Meeting. Chairman Ellis enacted the voting privilege for Alternate Member, Deborah Trumbull due to Mr. Prybyl’s exit.
