Old Business
ANDY HOWARD-SDI: Mr. Howard of SDI and Mr. Stinson of Sebago Technics came before the Board to request permission to extract gravel below the waterline. Rose Hill, a gravel pit owner, stepped down temporarily from the Board. Handouts included a cover letter explaining the expanded conditional use permit, a copy of the project plan, a copy of DEP approval for excavation, a corrected copy of letter of Credit No.195, and a copy of a DEP summary regarding the use of “Reclaim” material. Mr. Howard notified the Board in writing that he intends to use “Reclaim” material as part of his reclamation program in the near future. As there was no quorum, he was advised by the Board to wait until there were more members available for discussion. Members felt that more research was needed into the use of “Reclaim” material.
Mr. Howard indicated that the mining would create a pond of roughly 9.7 acres that may be as deep as 100-feet. Mining activities would not include pumping or de-watering. Excavation would be accomplished by a method called skyline excavation involving a cable and a clamshell dredge. The banks of the pond would be sloped and eventually reclaimed. Mr. Howard has a zero-setback agreement with the neighboring Shaw Brothers pit and plans to dig through to the shared boundary.
Board members discussed whether the letter of credit provided by Mr. Howard would suffice in lieu of a bond, and it was decided that the matter should be discussed when there are more Board members present.
A site-walk was scheduled for 7:30 AM on Saturday, August 13, 2005 with a public hearing to follow at 7:00 PM on Monday, August 15, 2005 at the Town Hall. Following Mr. Howard’s departure, Rose Hill returned to the Board.
JOE BENNET: Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Brown, accompanied by Mr. Libby of BH2M, appeared before the Board to present a sketch plan of a proposed 3-lot subdivision on Hight Road. As there were no driveways marked on the sketch plan, Mr. Libby was advised to draw up plans with the driveways included for the Road Commissioner and to complete a subdivision application. A combined sitewalk and public hearing were scheduled for Saturday, September 10, 2005 at 8:00 AM. The application will be on the agenda for 7:30 PM on September 19, 2005. (Secretary’s note: sitewalk and public hearing later rescheduled to Saturday, August 13, 2005 at 9:00 AM. The application will be on the agenda for Monday, August 15, 2005 at 7:30 PM.)
MORSE SUBDIVISION: Lisa and Steve Morse appeared before the Board with a revised sketch plan for a proposed four-lot subdivision on Dyer Road. It was noted that the final plan needs to have test pits and the lot sizes included and clearly marked, as well as the signature of the person drawing the plans and a place for Board members to sign. The Morses inquired whether the required road frontage could be a combination of Dyer Road and a private right-of-way. After discussion, they decided to adjust the property lines so that all of the required frontage will be on Dyer Road. A combined sitewalk and public hearing were scheduled for September 10, 2005 at 10:00. The application will be on the agenda for 8:00 on September 19, 2005 at the regular meeting. (Secretary’s note: sitewalk and public hearing were later
rescheduled for Saturday, August 13, 2005 at 10:00 AM. The application will be on the August 15, 2005 meeting agenda at 8:00 PM.)
BLAINE BENSON: Mr. Benson filed an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a gift shop on Runnells Brook. Rose Hill contacted Attorney Maxine Pouravelis to discuss the subdivision’s restrictions on businesses and is currently awaiting more information. Mr. Benson did not attend the meeting. The Secretary was instructed to contact Mr. Benson by mail to see if he intends to pursue a CUP.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Rose Hill gave the Selectmen a copy of York’s Growth Ordinance concerning elderly housing.
TAYLOR SUBDIVISION: No further action.
New business
No new business was discussed.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 PM. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 15, 2005, 7:00 PM at the Town Hall.
