3 OLD BUSINESS:

A TWENTY-MILE OVERLOOK SUBDIVISION

Mr. Jason Courbron of Survey Works, Inc. is representing this project this evening. Mr. Courbron addressed the Planning Board and stated that he would like to develop this plan in 2 Phases (due to the state of the economy). Phase I would consist of 2 lots with a common driveway. The proposed road would be built to town specs prior to the development of Phase II. Mr. Maloney stated that the ordinance would allow for this type of development. Mr. Maloney then stated that a common driveway can only service 2 lots and that no lot in Phase II could be sold until the road was built. Mr. Courbron then showed the Planning Board how the lots in Phase I and Phase II would look. Mr. Courbron then asked the Board Members about changing this parcel from Residential II to Village District. The answer was that Mr. Courbron could have this issue addressed at the 2010 Town meeting. There was then a short discussion regarding driveway permits. It was determined that a driveway permit would not need to be secured for a private road, but that said permit would need to be secured for a standard road.

B LINDA RAYMOND-SITE REVIEW BOTTLE REDEMPTION

Mr. Maloney stated that he received a new plan from the applicant. The revisions to the plan showed the proposed parking for the business and personal parking. There was then a discussion regarding the width of Mill Hill Road. It was stated that it was considered a 3 Rod road and that it was 49-1/2 feet wide. There was then a discussion regarding the apparent tightness of the parking spaces. It was stated that 27 feet is needed for parking with 4 spots. The plan shows 3 spaces on the south side 1 in the front. All vehicles must be backed in. There was then a discussion regarding the size of the trucks that will come to pick up the recyclables. There are 2 types of trucks:

<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>An A truck which is a truck that has a 48-foot trailer and a 15-foot cab. Total overall length is 63 feet.

<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>A B truck is a box truck at 28 feet and a cab of 10 feet. Total overall length is 38 feet.

There was then a discussion regarding how many feet from the centerline would allow for which type of truck to pick up the recyclables safely. Ms. Raymond stated that she has told the truck distributors that she wants only B trucks to pick up. Mr. Timberlake stated that the Planning Board wants a letter from the distributors that only B trucks would make the pick-ups. This letter must be on company letterhead. There was then some discussion regarding the enforcement of this issue. It was determined that the CEO could impose a fine if the criteria of B trucks only were not met. There was then continued discussion regarding having only B trucks doing the pick-ups. The reason for this discussion is because A trucks would not be able to safely enter the property and there is also the issue of blocking the road. After additional discussion it was determined that Ms. Raymond would provide the names and address of all of the distributors. Mr. Maloney would then draft a letter to the distributors that would be approved and signed by Mr. Timberlake. The letter would state that only B trucks, at 38 feet overall, would be used for pick-ups and that the distributors agreed that this is the only type of truck that would be sent. The letters would be sent by the town and be registered. The distributors would need to respond to the town in writing as to what their position was. Mr. Williams then commented that he feels this project is going to provoke traffic and parking hazards. There was then a discussion regarding whether Mill Hill Road is considered a State Road. If it is a State Road a driveway permit will need to be secured from MDOT. Mr. Maloney believes that it is not a State Road; Mr. Williams believes that it is a State Road. Mr. Maloney and Mr. Williams will investigate to determine if indeed Mill Hill Road is a State Road. Mr. R. Edward Morris stated that a DO NOT BACK UP INTO THE STREET sign would need to be erected. The discussion of this project will continue in April.

C PATRICIA JACOBS-SITE PLAN REVIEW

Mr. Richard Jacobs is representing his mother, Ms. Patricia Jacobs, this evening. Mr. Maloney reviewed the Application Completeness Checklist for Site Plan Review.

Ms. Imber made a motion to waive Items 11, 14, 17 and 50. Mr. Lavoie seconded the motion. The Board Members voted unanimously to accept the waivers. Ms. Imber then made a motion to accept the Application Completeness Checklist for Site Plan Review as complete. Mr. Lavoie seconded the motion. The Board Members voted unanimously to accept the Application Completeness Checklist for Site Plan Review as complete. Mr. Maloney reviewed the plan for the designated parking spaces. Mr. Maloney stated that the parking plan was adequate. Mr. Maloney then reviewed the Findings of Facts and Conclusion of Law with Conditions 1 through 4.
