3.      Old Business:

 

LC  when Beach Overlay Zoning was passed, it was discussed with Coalition Developers from the beach how the infrastructure for water, sewer and particularly power would be handled.   Presently there is a huge power problem down at the beach area now.

 

LC would like to send a letter to Town Manager asking him to put the power problem on the front burner.  He was the point person who was going to coordinate the Towns end and the Coalition end.  They had talked and had an elaborate plan to form a Corporation and borrow the money to do the infrastructure work.  So that when the construction of the new buildings were complete, it would look better to sell the condominiums.  This situation has come to a head because the two buildings that we have approved on Ocean Front South have elevators and the need 3 phase power.  Three phase power is only available on Ocean Front South outbound towards the ocean.  The only way the power company can give them that power is by hanging 3 transformers on each pole outside the front of these buildings.  This is not a good solution, the power should be going down Atlantic Ave.  With the boards concurrence we’ll have Leah draft a letter (we will review and add comments before) sending it to the Town Manager asking that we get the infrastructure program for the beach moving forward.  He’s going to be hiring an Economic Developer in a couple of months.

 

 

4.      7:30 PM Public Hearings:

 

a.      Special Permit – SPR for 163 Elm Street, Mark Cardillo – Brian Knowles of Apple, was present representing applicant.   First application for a planned office development.  LC briefly read purpose at the beginning of the Zoning article.  “Too provide  land for office research and development,  product assembly purposes in the office park C3.” Etc.  LC stated before you present, be aware that we are shy two members and under the law for a special permit, once you open a public meeting, no matter what is said, it knocks out the other two members who were not present.

 

DH motions to continue the opening of the public hearing until September 27th at 7:30 p.m. due to lack of quorum.

5.      Other Business:

 

a.      Request for Certificate of Completion – Harold Nabhan, 5 O’clock Club project –

25 Broadway.   Jim O’Leary, Atty. was present representing applicant.    He stated that he is reporting on the work that has been done; the exit signs on the deck have been installed and lighted, the emergency lights have been installed on the deck,  the exit doors on the north side of the building are complete with push bar hardware, the south side door also has push bar hardware.  Both doors now swing in, direction of the doors has been reversed in accordance with the architect’s recommendation.  The handicapped exit ramp on the south side of the building has been completed with two hand rails upper and lower.  The Town of Salisbury building inspector has been made aware of these changes. 

 

LC only thing left is the pilings.  Atty. O’Leary stated that Mr. Magnifico, DEP is on record as stating that the pilings are not a safety issue. 

 

LC would like Planning Board to send a letter to Mr. Magnifico, of DEP having him state in writing that the DEP has taken responsibility about the pilings and that the pilings are not considered a safety issue.
