The OCPB 57 <br />will make every effort to uphold a vision of responsive governance and quality public services 58 <br />during our deliberations, decisions, and recommendations. 59 <br /> 60 <br /> 61 AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 62 63 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If you are on the Planning Board, you need to be at the public hearing. 64 65 66 AGENDA ITEM 7: MAJOR SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT: To review and make a decision on a Major 67 <br />Subdivision Preliminary Plat application. Pleasant Green Woods, Phase IV, located off of 68 <br />Pleasant Green Road. The plan is consistent with the Concept Plan Flexible Design Option 69 <br />reviewed and approved by the Planning Board in February 2014. The Plan calls for 16 single 70 <br />family residential lots on a 46.34 acre tract. 16.53 acres (35.6%) of the site is reserved for 71 <br />primary and secondary open space. 72 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II. 73 <br /> 74 <br />Patrick Mallett reviewed abstract. 75 <br /> 76 <br />Paul Guthrie: It is an acre and one half? 77 <br /> 78 <br />Patrick Mallett: Yes. There is a 100 foot perimeter setback so that setback would go further down. 79 <br /> 80 <br />Terry Boylan: That is one of those properties that between the setbacks and the stream buffer and there is no 81 <br />suitable soil for septic, it is above and beyond what is required for the open space. It is not developable. 82 <br /> 83 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If the person that bought the lot didn’t want to buy the land, it would be space you could not do 84 <br />anything with unless the residents got together and agreed upon something to put there. 85 <br /> 86 <br />Terry Boylan: Correct. 87 <br /> 88 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: What is the acreage of the fire pond? 89 <br /> 90 <br />Terry Boylan: The lot itself is about an acre and one half and that is ¾ of an acre. It is designed to hold water during 91 <br />the 50 year drought and some depth below that. 92 <br /> 93 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: You want it to be at least 4 feet deep preferably 5 feet which would give you 44,000 gallons. 94 <br /> 95 <br />Patrick Mallett: We will make sure the fire marshal is satisfied with the volume. 96 <br /> 97 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Is Paper Birch a DOT road? 98 <br /> 99 <br />Patrick Mallett: They have submitted an application and the right of way has been dedicated. 100 <br /> 101 <br />Terry Boylan: There are some items being taken care of in terms of BMPs. 102 <br /> 103 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: So you are still moving in that direction. The road to the development will be DOT standard. 104 <br /> 105 <br />Terry Boylan: Yes. 106 <br /> 107 <br />6
