ABSENT: STAN HART Informal discussion with Attorney Chris Miner regarding property own by Mrs. Margaret Allard, Quanset Road, Map 8, Parcel 1636. Attorney Miner met with the Board in order to obtain a preliminary reading of the Board' s position with respect to subdividing the above-mentioned parcel into two lots pursuant to Orleans Zoning Bylaw Section 164-22 (5) . Panhandle Lots . This lot consists of 4 . 15 acres with 192 ' of frontage, and Mrs . Allard wishes to divide the one lot into two. It is likely that the applicant would propose to divide the property in a way that would create one panhandle lot with 42 ' of frontage, and another lot which would have 150 ' of frontage. Approximately 2/3 of this entire lot is located in the Rural Business District. After some discussion it was the consensus of the Board that, if the panhandle subdivision were to be submitted and approved, the lots should be restricted to one dwelling each. ************************************************************* Continued hearing John O. Tovrov, Blue Rock Road, Assessor' s Map 29, Parcel 2382-1 This hearing is continued from 3/22/94 . The Town Planner noted that there had been some outstanding concerns regarding this plan. One pertained to the turn-around area. This area was addressed in a revised Plan and Profile dated 3/15/94, prepared by Peter Soule. Mr. Soule noted that this turn-around area would be cleared of trees and brush and hardened. Another concern pertained to the adequacy of the leaching drainage system. Paul had visited the site with engineer Stephen Haas, and Mr. Haas indicated that the proposed drainage system would accommodate drainage. The third concern pertained to the adequacy of the lot to accommodate a reserve site for an on-site disposal system. A variance from the Board of Health regulations to eliminate a reserve area may be required. The Board of Health has scheduled discussion on this subject the first week in May. Paul Halkiotis recommended that the hearing be continued until the Planning Board receives comments from the Board of Health. 4/26/94 Planning Board Minutes 2 The Board discussed the adequacy of the access way, Blue Rock Road, and it was decided that the Board will plan to go out on a site inspection to that road on 5/4/94 . Near-by resident, Arch Johnston, said that Blue Rock Road is ideal the way it is, and that it is adequate to serve the proposed lots . Vince 011ivier, there on behalf of the Orleans Conservation Trust, said that the number of bedrooms in the potential houses should be considered when determining if Blue Rock Road provided adequate access . Mr. 011ivier also said that there may be an endangered species in Duck Pond, and if there is, then he will ask for an environmental review. After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to continue this hearing until 6/14/94 at 7 : 15 PM, in order to allow time for the Board of Health to communicate with the Planning Board. ***************************************************** Planner' s Report Paul Halkiotis told the Board that the Public Hearing for the Conservation, Recreation and Open Space Plan will be held on 5/12/94 at 7 : 00 PM in Orleans Town Hall, Meeting Room A. *********************************************************** Public Hearing - Scenic Roads Act - Fisher Way and Barley Neck Road, Bill Marsh, Applicant. Clerk Tom Yonce read the legal ad, which appeared in both the 4/8/94 and 4/15/94 issues of The Cape Codder, and the Public Hearing was opened. This tree hearing was for 2 5" DBH cedar trees that have already been cut down. These trees were mistakenly cut down last fall. They were removed to improve clear site distance, an issue that the Town Planner had raised last fall when discussing the subdivision with Mr. Marsh. Tree Warden, Richard Gould told the Board that he would have recommended that these trees be cut down. Mr. Gould also noted that there is no curb-cut application necessary when building a subdivision. Curb-cut applications come with a list of scenic roads - subdivision approvals do not; therefore, the subdivision applicant is not informed as to whether or not a road is scenic. He suggested that applicants of subdivisions be issued a list of scenic roads . MOTION: Nick Muto moved to authorize the removal of 2 5" cedar trees from the corner of Fisher Way and Barley Neck Road. Tom Yonce seconded the motion. VOTE: 5-0-0, unanimous . ************************************************************* APPROVAL OF MINUTES 4/26/94 Planning Board Minutes 3 MOTION: Alan Conklin moved to approve the minutes of 3/22/94 .
