PRESENT: Chairman Doug Allen, members Mert Bartels, Brian Gagne, Mark McEwen and Kevin Rooney. Also present were Councilman Ken Nawrocki and Town Engineer Scott Allen. Absent were members Tom Ferreri and Tom Morrison.

Chairman Allen called the meeting to order at 7:22 p.m.

 

BOARD DISCUSSION:

Murphy Lane/Route 31F – Rural Opportunities, represented by Brian Convery and Amy Casciani, would like to amend the site plans for two previously approved corner lots on Murphy Lane/Route 31F. Houses are planned to face Route 31F, and they would like to have both houses face Murphy Lane. This subdivision was originally approved in 1976, and all but the two corner lots (Lots 56 & 64) have been built upon. Turning the houses to face Murphy Lane would be more in line with the existing houses. Setbacks, possible variances, driveway placements and septic systems were discussed. In reviewing the details of the original site plan, it was decided the setback required at that time was 50 ft. from Route 31F, which would allow the houses to be turned to face Murphy Lane. Board consensus was 50 ft. setback from Route 31F is acceptable, driveways should be moved to the south end of the properties and the septic system for Lot 64 should be moved to the rear of the house, requiring another perc test.
