Mr. Roesler referred the Board to the staff report and <br /> the staff recommendation that the Planning Board recommend that the Council <br /> adopt the attached resolution (see Attachment 3) approving the application. <br /> The applicant's representative had not arrived. There was no public comment. <br /> The Board discussed the soil conditions in the area and the topography of <br /> adjacent land to the south. Mr. Roesler stated that the proposed subdivision <br /> met the Town's development regulations. • <br /> Referring to lot 114, several Board members stated that they did not like "flag" <br /> lots. Questions were asked about landscape buffer requirements. Mr. Roesler <br /> replied that the "flag" design of lot #4 met Town regulations, and that the <br /> requirements for landscape buffers also met Town regulations. <br /> The necessity of condition 09 requiring a fire flow report was questioned. It <br /> was suggested that a fire flow report was an unnecessary expense for a develop- <br /> ment of this size, particularly in view of the fact that the surrounding <br /> existing development was served by existing hydrants. <br /> Condition #1 was discussed at length. Several Board members questioned the • <br /> need to require this developer to install a sidewalk along his property's <br /> Merritt Mill Road frontage. Questions" were-r iised about whose responsibility <br /> it was to build the sidewalk (the developer or the Town). <br /> my <br />
