Present: M. Peck, R. Everett, B. Caldwell
1. John Haight of Rowell Assoc. appeared with the final papers as directed on
Cotton Patch II (M. Proulx dev. on Thomas Rd.) which were signed. He
expressed concern over the degree of reliance which we may be placing
on the reports of the Soil Conservation Service although he has found
their reports helpful and reasonable thus far.
2. Attorney Dirk Galbraith appeared with Bernie Cornelius to initiate formal
subdivision procedure on the area known as Ringwood Knolls off Ringwood
Road. The map of 1968 as submitted does not conform t-) subdivision
requirements, either in lot size or road proposal. The driveway currently
used for access to the area may be too steep. It also may be too narrow,
especially at the bottom where there is an additional problem of a bridge
abutment and a very sharp angle where the drive intersects with the road.
We suggested that the attorney check with Dick Case, fire dept., Co. Highway
(re bridge), DEC (re possible stream changes), and redesign lot layouts
to conform to the ordinance before we considered it further.
3. Ringwood Court - siting of house on Cornelius lot - members agreed with ZEO
Stewart that the setback on the turnaround side may be interpreted as
a corner lot in this case.
4. Mr. Van Sickle- appeared with plans for his subdivision (6 -7 lots ) on Morris
Road. Six lots on preliminary testing appear satisfactory but the 7th
may have drainage problems. No new roads will be involved. We would
like an SCS report for our consideration as well as the necessary Health
approvals. The Public Hearing is tentatively scheduled for April 17th'
at 8:00 provided the Health Dept. approval has been received in adequate
time to allow for legal notice.
5. B. Caldwell briefed the members on
tentatively scheduled for March
of the DEC man,
the proposed Fall Creek meeting which is
3,4,19,or 20th depending on the availability
