 George Duncan – Final Subdivision Plan

George Duncan was in attendance to show changes that have been made to his final subdivision plan.  Mr. Duncan showed proposed areas to be sold to Petkov/Camp Saginaw.  Mr. Ragan said that the Planning Commission would need to see a plot of the parcel and total acreage and both parties would need to be on the plan since both properties are being subdivided and lands are being swapped.  Mr. Ragan advised that he and Ken Crossan met today and he was reluctant to sign off on parcel without a formal survey.  There was discussion regarding add-on vs. standalone parcel, and Mr. Ragan advised the add-on lot would need a perimeter survey, the standalone would not, but a standalone parcel would require a recorded easement.   Mr. Duncan agreed to sell the parcel as a standalone parcel and will have the easement agreement prepared, then have Sam McMichael review before it goes to the Board of Supervisors for their review and then he will come to the Regular November Planning Commission meeting.

 Refuse & Recycling Ordinance

There was brief discussion about loose ends in connection with Recycling and Mr. Humkey distributed a suggested logo, a schedule of implementation and FAQ piece for the newsletter.  Mr. Humkey and Ms. Straus are meeting tomorrow to finalize the newsletter piece.

Park Planning

Ms. Straus showed the Planning Commission the changes she incorporated based on the Planning Commission’s feedback the last time the Park Map was looked at.  Calculations were discussed- mowed v. meadowed, impervious v. permeable.  Mr. Ragan advised Ms. Straus to put the map into CAD and take it to his office and the computer can calculate everything, and she advised Mr. Ragan that her intention is to get the plan to him within the week.  Mr. Ragan advised he will get an estimate from Ken Crossan for the park survey.  Weed control and controlled burns were discussed.  Mr. Humkey will speak with Jim at Wyncote to find out the controlled burn procedure. 

Other Ordinance Work

Mr. Sweet distributed a list of other ordinance work that needs to be done and there was brief discussion about each item on the list.

 Adjournment

On a motion made by Ms. Straus and seconded by Ms. Steel and approved unanimously, the meeting adjourned at 9:10 PM.
