DUBE-SUBDIVISION/SKETCH PLAN
Mr.
Douglas Johnson of Brian Smith Surveying, Inc. addressed the Planning
Board. Mr. Johnson stated that this
proposal is for a 13 lot open space subdivision.
Mr. Johnson also stated that there has been one minor change
since this project was discussed at the last Planning Board meeting.
This change is to add more open space.
Lots A and B shown on the plan will be gifted to the
applicant’s children. The open space will contain
a wildlife corridor which all can use.
The open space will be owned by a Home Owner’s
Association. The proposed road will be a
private paved road. Mr.
Johnson stated that that there could be a potential for 50 lots on
this road. Mr. Johnson
then explained where the wells and septics would be located and also
stated that the bog located on the north end would be protected. Mr. Johnson then explained
where the proposed snowmobile trail would be located.
Mr. Johnson stated that the open space design is what the
applicant would like to develop and that this housing would prove to
be affordable, somewhere within the $140,000 to $200,000 range.
This subdivision would be a mix of housing.
There was then some discussion regarding the possibility of a
waiver for front setback footage.
The reason for this is that the project needs a little more
flexibility. It was stated that every lot
has plenty of room and one of the objectives is to leave a corridor
of dry land to walk behind. Mr.
Maloney stated that the Planning Board’s indication is to
proceed with an open space subdivision. Mr. Maloney then read a
document regarding this open space subdivision.
This document will be attached to the Minutes.
There was then a discussion regarding a dry hydrant; which all
agreed will need to be installed.
There was then a discussion regarding the street design
ordinance which requires a connector road for any development over 15
lots. Such a connector road was
