TOWN OF BREWSTER MINUTES OF PLANNING BOARD REGULAR MEETING Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 6:30 P.M. Brewster Town Office Building Chairman Bugle convened the Planning Board meeting at 6:30 pm in the Brewster Town Office Building with members Taylor, Barnard and Tubman. Chairman Bugle opened the hearing November 4, 2009 by noting that the Board had only 4 members present and therefore any legal hearing needing 5 votes would need to be continued. LEGAL HEARING will be held for consideration of the Town to undertake a series of temporary road repairs under the Town's Betterment and Assessment Program in accordance with Article VIII, Temporary Road Repair, Section 157-20 of Brewster's Code, for the following road: 1. HAZEL LANE - On Assessors' Map 35. Present: John O'Reilly, J.M. O'Reilly & Associates; Charlie Sumner, Town Administrator; Jim Foley, Selectman O'Reilly: Provided an overview of the plans and the proposed work. They received 3 estimated bids and Mr. O'Reilly provided calculations based on the average cost divided by the 10 lots to equal about $10,000 each. This cost is higher than the home owners anticipated and would like it to be closer to $8,000. Mr. O'Reilly has found that when they obtain the actual cost it comes in lower and the $80,000 could be in line. Sumner: Provided an overview of the process and thought the actual cost could come in line. The risk to the town is that they would incur the engineer cost if the homeowners didn't vote in support after the actual estimates are prepared. If it were not to go forward then the homeowners would need to reimburse the town for this expense. The homeowners would need to have 51 % in favor in order to proceed. Foley: Thought that due to the challenges companies are facing they are really tightening their budgets and the early estimates Mr. O'Reilly has received are probably high. Bugle: Opened to the Public/Homeowners Homeowner: Had heard that there were options to the length of the pay off time on the betterment (5, 10, 15 years). He wanted to confirm. Sumner: Said that the homeowners had to reimburse the town for expenses. Total actual cost divided by number of lots and then that information is provided to the homeowners. The homeowner then makes the decision has to how they want to pay off. Bugle: Opened to the Board. No comments. Taylor: Motion that we send the plan to Town meeting as a betterment for Hazel Lane provided the Selectmen receive a 51 % agreement from the homeowners. Seconded by Barnard.
