Farmhurst, Section 5, Off Bridge Street: PUBLIC HEARING: Chairman Smith opened the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. William Hamilton and Edward Hearns, engineer with Hayes Engineering, represented the applicants. The Planning Direc- tor reported that the plan had been reviewed by the staff of the Planning Depart- ment and of the Engineering Department and they were essentially satisfied with the technical features of the definitive site plan. Mr. Hamilton explained that lots 114 and 115C were to be retained by the owners and that the three retention areas on lots 19 2 and 115C were to be the subject of a conservation restriction granted to the Town. The owners will also place a maintenance restriction on the island in the turnaround. The Board and staff questioned leaving lots 114 and 115C, which are undersized, as separate lots within the subdivision. Potential problems of an absentee owner ' not maintaining those lots were identified. Questions were raised about the owner's future development intentions for those lots and whether they were to be combined with some other lots. Donna Hooper and Gerard Patrick, who are residents of the area, questioned the use of the small lots as presented on the plan. Mr. Patrick questioned the effect of the construction of an elevated subdivision road on surface water drainage from the west. The hearing was closed at 8:16 p.m., at which time the Board indicated it would discuss the subdivision further at a future business meeting. 74.
