Call
to order: 7:15 P.M
Dana
Roscoe Chairman of the Planning Board brought forward a request from several
abutters to a proposed Cell Tower on Clark Mtn. Rd. next to the water
tower. They are requesting that the
road be gated to eliminate late evening traffic. The petitioner must improve the road in order to give
construction equipment access to the cell tower site. The board took the matter
under advisement and requested that the TA provide information for September 8th
meeting.
Loren
Belida and Scott Pray updated the board on the progress on the school
reconstruction over the weekend, rigid insulation is started, floor tiles are
going down, ventilation system has been cleaned, all fiberglass has been
removed, 75 to 80 people working on site. Technically feasible to open on
September 3, 2003 however with all the testing required for all the systems,
September 8th is the unanimous recommendation. Parents need as much
time as possible to adjust their schedules to the delayed school opening. The
scope of the reconstruction has changed significantly since the start of the
project that the roof trusses on the Kindergarten and the roof on the gym need
to be replaced before they can be occupied. All of the contingencies in the
budget have been accounted for. The board should declare an emergency under the
provision of C44§31 to continue the project to include the kindergarten and
gym. Motion Mr. Kelley Second Mr.
Fydenkevez Vote 2-0 Requirements for
occupancy are unimpeded use of the class rooms, library, cafeteria and office
space.
