Discussion with Paul Folkman Regarding Beaumont's Pond Modification Paul Folkman asked the Planning Board for assistance in working with Mr. Penney to settle an agreement for an easement on Mr. Penney's property to construct an access road to the Beaumont's Pond subdivision without having to construct a retaining wall. Mr. Folkman referenced a letter that he has recently sent to Mr. Penney regarding terms of the easement. Planning Director Burke referenced the George Fram Estates public hearings in which he worked with the- developer and abutters in order to settle easement agreements. Mr. Burke also stated that he does not want the modification hearing to get constructive approval because of expiration of the time frame for filing the decision due to lack of an easement agreement. A consensus of the Board was if Mr. Burke feels it would be in the best interest of the Town to work with both parties than he may. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, then the retaining wall will have to be built. Mr. Folkman will update the Board at its meeting of June 10, 1992. 8. Adjournment - 9:00 P.M.
