The applicant understood that Final approval expires if not filed within 180 days, unless extended by the Zoning Administrator for pending local or state approvals, and that, in the event a subdivision plat is recorded without complying with this requirement, the plat shall be considered null and void.

29. The applicant felt that all comments by the Development Review Board Technical Advisory Committee and attached to the Staff report had been addressed. The applicant stated he would align the intersection of the new road as ideally as possible.

The Chair read the following summary to open the hearing:

Cobble Hill Camp LLC & Camp Holdings LLC, Owners/Applicants, request Boundary Line Adjustment and Site Plan Amendment approval located at 79 Precast Road. The proposed Boundary Line Adjustment would transfer a total of 1.98 acres from Lot 2 to Lot 1 (79 Precast Road). Also proposed is amendment of the Site Plan for a bus depot at 79 Precast Road.

Representing the Applicant was Amanda Raab of Trudell Consulting Engineers and Kevin Camp, hereafter referred to as “applicant(s).” The applicant gave an overview of the proposal: a Boundary Line Adjustment is being requested to expand the size of the parcel in order to accommodate a neighboring, existing bus facility that will be relocated to this parcel. The applicant felt there was no municipal impact, as the proposed bus facility is currently operating nearby, and would simply be moving. The following topics were reviewed:

· Potable Water: will be supplied from neighboring properties owned by Camp Holdings LLC via a Public-Private drilled well (under the jurisdiction of the State of Vermont due to the number of users it serves).

· Easement/Legal documents for access to water will be put in place.

· A Project Review Sheet will be submitted to the Town.

· For the sake of accuracy, the applicant noted an error on page 5 of the Staff Report, under Site, District & Area Information”: the site is located on Precast Road, not Gonyeau Road. Staff acknowledged the error.

· The applicant stated the Landscaping Cost Estimate was just under $2,000 and asked if a surety was necessary. Existing landscaping was discussed. Staff explained that the surety is standard procedure no matter the dollar value of the landscaping. The applicant agreed to this requirement.

· The applicant agreed to include a bicycle rack on the Final Plan.

· Business signage was briefly discussed; none is proposed at this time.

· The group discussed numbered item 6 (within the Staff Report), concerning landscaping islands. The DRB determined that the proposal is appropriate.

· Adequacy of proposed parking spaces.

· Outdoor lighting: the proposal includes new fixtures that match the existing ones, though overall the proposed lighting is minimal, but adequate. The applicant pointed out the locations on the submitted plans.

· Legal Escrow: the applicant agreed to this escrow of funds and the process (numbered items 11-12).

· Final Plat: the applicant agreed to numbered items 13, 14 and 17, concerning the review, revision, and filing of the Final Plat and final plans.

· TAC comments were reviewed.

The Chair felt the numbered items contained within the Staff Report had been addressed. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Chair closed the Hearing at approximately 8:40.
