1.      6:30pm Public Hearing

 

a.      Cont. Street Acceptance-Corporal Patten Way

(Article 24 on the Town Warrant)  The remaining issues for this street are the guardrails, Nelson Northern has a contract with a fencing company to get this work done.  The seeding of the pond work is scheduled and the drains are in good shape.  The only outstanding is the “CV Lot”, which was deemed conservation land to be donated to the Town.  It is pretty much marshland, if the Town wants this land, Nelson will give to the Town, but this was not a required condition of the subdivision.  DE-We still need a separate meeting to release the bond. 

 

RS motions to recommend to Town Meeting for the road acceptance of Corporal Patten Way

DH seconds

Vote on motion 5-0, motion passes.

 

b.     Cont. Street Acceptance-Palis Drive

(Article 23 on the Town Warrant)  Matt Palis was in attendance.  The metes and bounds verbage is incorrect, in lieu of verbage, just referencing the plan in article and not metes and bounds and to the new revised plan.

DL-the issues that needed addressing were: removal of the dead trees, trees have been cut and Matt says that he will be in to pick them up, cul-de-sac sign is being made and will be installed, the post is already there and the street light that remains on during the day, Matt Palis contacted National Grid and this issue is being resolved.  DL recommends that street gets accepted.  DE asks about the flooding issue.  LP states that it was trenched and stabilized, trenching was extra and was done.  LP also mentions that the silt fence on Lot 8 needs to be removed, Matt Palis-OK. 

 

DE motions to recommend to Town Meeting the road acceptance of Palis Drive article as amended.

RS seconds

Vote on motion 5-0, motion passes.

 

 

 

c.      Cont. Adopt corrected changes of Zoning Bylaws

(Article 5 on the Town Warrant)  Subsection 17 is addressed regarding the renumbering of the zoning, correcting a typographical error.  JK suggests to return to the 1994 zoning as approved by town meeting with the “**” BC Res 90 and “***” BC Comm 100.  LP checks with Kopelman & Paige attorney Debra Eliason, who stated that that the “**” BC Res 90 cannot be addressed tonight but can be done at a future meeting. 

DE Motions to amend subsection (14) by DELETING the word “and” before the words “Office Park”; INSERTING a comma after the words “Office Park” and by INSERTING the following language after the words “Zoning Districts”:  “and Commercial IV (C4)”
