PLANNING BOARD
MINUTES OF AUGUST 12, 1986

Building was called to order at 7:38 p.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Uhrig, with
members Cripps, Klauminzer, Sorensen, Wood, and Assistant Planner Rawski
present.

the minutes of July 14, 1986 as amended.
***************ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS*************
203. Mason's Hollow Cluster Development: Proposed landscaping and lighting
plans were presented to the Board by the Assistant Planner, Ms. Rawski. The
Board members were satisfied that the revised landscape plan addressed all
of their concerns and provided an appropriate residential character for the
proposed cluster development. Mr. Sorensen expressed a preference for
bluestone paving as opposed to brick pavers for the sidewalk material as the
bluestone pavement would be more appropriate to the development.
The draft Certificate of Action was reviewed and all changes from the
previous document were discussed. On the motion of Mrs. Wood, seconded by
Mr. Cripps, it was voted unanimously to approve the Certificate of Action
as amended.
204. Development Regulations: A draft of the development regulations were
reviewed by the Board. There were no comments on Section One. Several
recommendations were made for the improvement of Section Five. Mr. Sorensen
felt that the regulations were unnecessarily complicated, redundant and
should be condensed where possible. He also felt that it was not desirable
to incorporate the state statute into the documents as part of the Board's
own regulations. He suggested that rather then include the text of the
statute, it should be incorporated by reference, either by footnote or in an
appendix at the rear of the document. All Board members were in agreement
with this suggestion regarding treatment of the statute. Mrs. Klauminzer
suggested that charts, diagrams and time lines clearly setting forth time
periods and procedures should be included in the document for ease of
reference. All members were in agreement with this suggestion.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
Martha Wood
Clerk for the Planning Board
