SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING 11-08-2006 MTG #47
868
Bill Mason present to represent the Lucas, Mason, Jackowski deep hole tests, proposed
expansions in a CEA. Councilman Strough- Reviewed for the Board the Memorandum
of Understanding that was worked out . Mr. Mason-There was a map that showed the
existing system and two alternative sites for the home and in addition there was a large
area that we engineered in the back that the engineer said this was an amount of space for
thirty two homes three bedrooms, we did perk tests, and he laid out that in the event that
need to go to a common system in the future, that is where it would be. Not only did it
demonstrate that we had room for all of that but there was additional room left. Noted
that the systems have not failed. Councilman Strough-There was comprehensive plan for
allowing some expansion on this unique property, they were coming to us on the
Planning Board one at a time with some of these houses, and some were large proposals,
we had some issues with the docks etc. so we said this was a little bit messy, why don’t
you sit down with us and work out a comprehensive plan for potential future
development of the site. We came up with some agreements as to how much they would
be allowed to expand and that they would not be allowed further subdivide that the
common areas would remain common areas, and that should the septic system fail, or
should it become environmentally the sound thing to do they could go to alternate septic
plans. One was showing alternative sites for the individual septic beds the other was a
comprehensive system that would use the common area. That was only if
environmentally dictated that. Mr. Mason, the only thing we are asking tonight is
permission to use deep hole testing. Councilman Sanford-If you do the test pit data and
the soil conditions are great you are still going to have to deal with the concerns of at
least two of the councilmen, we do not want to give you the approval to do tests unless
we are comfortable that if the results are sufficient that we are going to give you the
green light. Mr. Mason-Noted he did not know that I have to come back in front of this
Board, I thought it was just coming here to ask to do the perk test out of season then I go
to the ZBA. Councilman Sanford-You have to come back in front of this Board to get
your approval to do the test pits. Before we are comfortable with giving you that
approval we want to have a better appreciation for the site which means we want to
review the Memorandum of Understanding. Discussion was held in regard to the size of
the lots and the location of the common area. It was agreed upon by the Board that
nothing will be done until they get a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding and
they have a chance to read it and discuss it.
