NEW BUSINESS:
PB-03-11 – DeHollander – Chesterwood
Drive – 3-lot subdivision &
residential site plans – Developer Scott DeHollander was present to review this
application with the Board. Mr.
DeHollander began the Chesterwood project in 2005 when he purchased and merged
three existing parcels into a 24.5 acre lot.
Phase 1 was the subdivision of three lots along Pannell Road and a general plan for the
remainder of the parcel (six lots), including stormwater easements, ponds,
drainage and road. In 2006, Phase 2 was
approved for three large lots vs. original six with a town-dedicated rural
road. Since that time the Town has taken
dedication of the road (Chesterwood
Drive), and two of the lots have been sold. Mr. DeHollander now proposes subdividing the
remaining 8.5 acre lot into three smaller lots of 2 acres, 2.46 acres and 4.0+
acres. Each lot will have its own driveway. Water service will be available from an
existing main that extends from Pannell
Road to a hydrant on Chesterwood. Septic systems will be installed for each
residence. Erosion control and SWPPP
previously issued and noted on the plan.
Each lot will drain toward the road.
The existing catch basin on Lot 4 will
be lowered and the swale deepened. An
erosion control sheet has been added to the plan bringing the project in line
with current standards. Board members
asked that at least 30 ft. of existing trees be retained as a buffer along the
southern boundary of Lot 4. Mr. DeHollander stated he will add a note to
the plan. He also said he is working
with a local firm for the build-out of the lots and will be establishing a
minimum price point. The public hearing
will be held on April 11th.
