In attendance were Mr. Rick Waitt, Mr. Brian Timm, Mr. Gary Larson, and Mr. Adam Christie of Meridian Associates, and Mr. Todd Cataldo, applicant. Mr. Waitt said there was a site walk on Saturday, July 9 with some Board Members and abutters. The plans distributed tonight reflect some changes made based on the site visit and comments at the last public hearing. The road was straightened and moved 6 feet away from the abutter’s property to allow the screening requested by the neighbor. Trees will be moved and relocated and rhododendrons 3-4.5 feet tall will be added. Language was added to allow work outside the limit of work (LOW) for clearing of brush. The applicant plans on donating parcel one to the Town. The applicant requested relief from the three waivers listed and proposed the following alternatives:  Section 175-11A(3)(a)(7): Allow the submission of the plan without specifying the distance between buildings;  Section 175-44C(7)&(8): Allow only newly created lot lines and easements be required to comply with the Bounds and Markers requirements; and  Section 175-55D(6)(b): Allow the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy before installing the finish course of pavement.
