Maria Massucco: The Board discussed a memo from Assistant Planner Nordby dated December 7, 1989, containing a draft motion based on the Engineering Department's recommendation on what should be required to bring Valley Road up to adequate grade and construction insofar as would be required to provide frontage for lot 18A. They noted the previous determination (CUS 87-3 for Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Massucco to provide frontage for Lot 29 on Town property map #79) , required that the unpaved portion of the road be regraded and that 1" to 3" of crusher run material be applied, and that these improvements had not even held up for two years. On the motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Sorensen, it was voted 4-1-0 (Mrs. Klauminzer voted in the negative) : to determine that in the opinion of the Planning Board, Valley Road, insofar as it provides frontage for Lot 18A as shown on Map 79, is not now of adequate grade and construction. If the improvements, as specified below, are made, and are considered adequate upon inspection by the Town Engineer, then the part of Valley Road to which the Planning Board required improvements would be of adequate grade and construction. 1. The improvements shall be made from the end of the existing pavement, for a length of 300 feet at a width to match the existing pavement. The work is to be done to Town standard. 2. Prior to the initiation of any work, a plan, which has been prepared by a registered engineer, shall be submitted for approval.
