The Board read a letter addressed to Paul Halkiotis, from Michelle Belmont, dated 4/20/95, regarding the Argo property.

The letter also contained a request for an extension of the deadline for action on the plan if the fence was not sufficient. The Board also received a memo from Paul Halkiotis, dated 4/24/95 . Said memo reviewed outstanding concerns regarding the Argo Preliminary Plan. It also contained a copy of the Planning Board minutes, dated 12/27/94, when the Argo Preliminary Plan was also discussed. Discussion occurred regarding the easement that the Argos have over the Academy parking lot, and Paul said that accessing a subdivision via an easement is not desirable, and it is up to the Planning Board to make sure that the access, construction, and grade are adequate.

Discussion included the thoughts that the fence does not address the Board' s concern regarding parking and emergency vehicle access . The applicants asked to extend the deadline for action on the plan in order to present another plan to the Board. Paul asked that the PLANNING BOARD 4125195 MINUTES 2 amended plan show existing conditions on both the Academy and Argo property, including grade, slope, pavement, and easement. The plan should also show proposed improvements, including a means of preventing vehicles from parking in the access area. It was suggested that a landscapes island be constructed to separate the access easement for access to the Argo poperty from the parking lot for the Academy. This would prevent cars from parking and obstructing the access to the Argo property. Drainage should also be reviewed.
