OTHER:
Member Dadak spoke of a seminar being presented by DOT=
on
September 29th in
Chairman Gagnon is currently involved with Planning Di= rector Jeff Gowan and Planning Board member Tim Doherty in putting language togeth= er for a warrant article that addresses more flexibility for sub-division desi= gns that will include more open space. The warrant article will define new zoning and would allow developers to meet a= new set of criteria called “conservation sub-division”. A developer has already come in wi= th a proposed conservation/sub-division plan. The problem is, said chairman Gagnon, is that we haven’t put the language together and we haven’t put it on the ballot as yet. Townspeople have not had a chance = to vote on it. This particular developer is “ahead of their time” said chairman Gagnon. The developer wants to have a joint meeting with the Conservation Commission, Zoning Board and the Planning Boa= rd to discuss their proposal.
A letter was read by chairman Gagnon that had been rec=
eived from
Joe Maynard of Benchmark Engineering.
In brief, the letter states that Mr. Maynard cannot attend the meeti=
ng
this evening but makes reference to the attached copies of a sub-division t=
hat
he is working on for Mrs. Stadtmiller.&nbs=

The letter goes on to say they are working on a 12-lot sub-division =
on
approximately 29 acres of land, that at the August 6th, 2007 con=
ceptual
planning board meeting and showed the board two proposals: (a) A conventional sub-division wi=
th
approximately 2, 400 ft. of road; and (b) An open space sub-division with
reduced roadway frontage. The
open-space sub-division has the same number of lots on approximately 1,500 =
ft.
of road and preserves approximately 14 acres of open space. Benchmark Engineering will be seeki=
ng a
variance for reduced frontage on 11 of the 12 lots. The lots meet all other zoning
regulations. The joint meetin=

OLD BUSINESS:
Member Loosigian announced that she had been involved = in a 2nd water testing on Long Pond with one more planned for the beginning of September. Phosphorus are the nuisance in ponds and lakes said Lisa and a te= st came back and looks pretty good. All the results were average and one was low she said. There were 4 phosphors tests done.= The results were compared to last = year’s readings and were much better this year and could be attributed to a low ra= in fall this year whereas before heavy rains washed into the pond. Some people were suggesting that p= ersons living around the pond might be doing a better job by using low phosphors products. The beach was not c= losed this year. Lisa was in contac= t with the Parks and Recreation Department with their concern of bacteria at the p= ond as one of the swim instructors had a rash.= The state came down and tested the water and was unable to find anything. Lisa had been conta= cted by Parks and Rec after the state did their testing and she in turn contacted DES and they said they didn’t need her that they would do it themselv= es. Lisa said she would contact DES fo= r a copy of their findings. Recent correspondence from the state said that there was substantial improvement of the water quality over last year. They attribute it to the homeowners being more aware of the products that are safe to use near the water. The Long Pond Water Association put out a 3-way folded brochure to lakefront owners said chairman Gagnon.&nbs= p; There is a copy of the brochure in the planning office.
Member MacKay was concerned that just because the water tests were more favorable this year, that pond front residents not become complacent for next year as it could be a case that the low water/rain fall might have been the contributing factor in the quality and nothing that the homeowners had done and therefore become careless next year. Long Pond has a continuing severe = infestation of milfoil according to member Dadak
Member Loosigian says that there are some typing error= s on the wetlands brochure that had been passed out at the last meeting. She will contact the chairman by p= hone to point out the problems so that the brochure doesn’t go to the prin= ter that way.
