(Parsons - Seifert, all in favor) VOTED 4) The Board met with James Hughes who explained that he wants to build a house on Jewell Street Extension. He showed the Board a plot plan and noted that there is a 37 foot right=of.way to the property. He wants to put his house about 700 feet from Balcom Street. He would have an acre of land along the right-of-way. The lot on the plan shows a total area of 19.08 acres. Planner Parsons noted that the road would have to be paved because this would fall into unaccepted street regulations. It was noted that there is a house at the end of the right-of-way that was built before zoning. Mr. Hughes noted that he has 91 feet on Balcom Street that he could use for frontage if they did not subdivide the lot. He noted that the entire parcel currently is owned by his in-laws. He was told that he would have to get a variance from the Board of Appeals to build on the lot with 91 feet frontage but it would be easier than to dor everything required to build on an unaccepted street. It was also noted that the lot could not be subdivided at a later date unless the requirements for an unaccepted street were complied with. 5) It was noted that nothing new has been received on the Ash Gravel Removal application, but that Whitman and Howard started their seven day test today. It was noted that possibly the permit could be acted on with the condition that they stay away from the 400 foot radius. Town Manager Maurer came before the Board and told them they should have the results from Whitman and Howard within two weeks. He noted the test wells would not be a problem. He stated he would like the Board to hold off on a decision until the report comes in from Whitman and Howard so the proper conditions can be put on the permit. No action was taken on the application. 6) John Risser appeared before the Board with a preliminary subdivision plan for land on Balcom Street owned by Howard Brown. The applicant is Robert McLaclan. Planner Parsons noted there is no corner easement on Balcom Street and they will have to get an easement. Mr. Risser told the Board there are ten lots in the subdivision, and the street is 800 feet long. Mr. Risser noted he piped the catch basins, but the new thought is to try to get the water back into the ground and they would like to think about making structural pits and pipe to leach into the ground. Planner Parsons noted that the houses on the street all have water problems. He stated that other developers have put in catch basins near the end of the street to help catch drai.hage from the street and that would be helpful in this Minutes September 24, 1980 Page 3 case. It was decided to have the plans reviewed by'the Town Engineer and Board at the next meeting. 7) The Board discussed the Form A - Approval Not Required Plan submitted by Richard Morse for two lots on Elm Street by Oak Street. Motion: To endorse the Approval Not Required Plan submitted by Richard Morse for two lots on Elm Street by Oak Street. (Seifert - Parsons, all in favor) VOTED 8) The Board discussed the Form A - Approval Not Required Plan submitted by Poni Corp. for lots on West Street. The plan was previously signed by the Board but was not recorded within the six month time period allowed by the Registry of Deeds. Motion: To re -endorse the Approval Not Required Plan submitted by Poni Corp. for lots on West Street. (Seifert - Kaufman, all in favor) VOTED 9) The Board discussed the proposed gravel removal application submitted by Home Developer's Inc. for land on Franklin Street. The applicant asked the Board to indicate where they would like to see monitoring wells installed so they can place them properly. Motion: To have the Town Engineer review the request of Home Developers, Inc. to help the Board locate the test wells for the proposed gravel removal operation on Franklin Street. (Parsons - Seifert, all in favor) VOTED 10) Margot Jellinek told the Board she asked the Finance Committee if they would transfer funds for the Board to hire a secretary when their secretary it out and they said they would. 11) The date for the next meeting was set for October 1, 1980 at 7:30 P. M. It was noted that a workshop session will be scheduled for the next meeting with the Town Engineer on reading plans. 12) Clerk Kaufman noted that there are issues in the By-law and Subdivision Regulations to be looked at in a work shop session. It was decided that as problems came to light a list would be made of them for the Board to look at during work shop sessions. The first item to go on the list is the size of the locus on Form A - Approval Not Required plans. 13) It was decided to send a letter to Frank Allen, Jr. inviting him to the Board's meeting on October 8, 1980 to discuss the status of the streets in his Beachwood Estates Subdivision.
