(decision deadline — extended to 09/27/06) and HIGHLAND ESTATES MODIFICATION DISCUSSION Agenda items were discussed simultaneously. Town Counsel Hucksam reviewed his opinions(June 7,2006 Town Counsel correspondence)relative to the 10 questions forwarded to him by Planning Board. Planning Board agreed with Town Counsel's opinion that Highland Estates modification and Castle Hill continuation should occur simultaneously as long as Castle Hill agrees to extensions so the two can progress together. Town Counsel will draft letter stating such to applicants via their attorneys. Town Counsel also felt the burden to submit evidence of having sufficient rights to use the King-Taylor fee interest of Castle Road should be placed on Mr. Deligiannidis. John Modzelewski asked who signs application: do Deligiannidis and King-Taylor both sign as two parcels(one owned by each) are involved? Town Planner Harrington stated that the applicants need procedural guidelines and asked if Town Counsel opinions (in June 7,2006 correspondence)can be released to applicants. Planning Board set July 26 h as earliest possible date to target for Highland Estates modification and Castle Hill continuation hearings (allowing notification and advertising deadlines). Administrator will send these dates and advertising dates to applicants. Planning Board Meeting 2 of 2 June 14,2006 8:40 P.M. OX PASTURE LANE—ROAD COMPLETION,RELEASE OF LOTS Peter Baytarian came before Board to explain that all site work has been completed and all required letters have been submitted with the exception of electric,gas and phone company letters. Since all existing houses have all these services (indicating the servicees exist),Baytarian requested a lot release. He has been trying for weeks to obtain these letters to no avail. John Modzelewski confirmed that all work has been done and only the utility letters are missing. Member Moore stated that lots would not be released until all paper work is submitted. Modzelewski suggested swapping a lot release for a lot that is ready to be built on. Neil Murphy noted that the utility companies are entities that the applicant has no control over in terms of obtaining the paper work and also suggested releasing lot 7 and holding lots 2 and 3. Member Ivimey suggested voiding previous approvals, stopping all further development on the subdivision and not allowing Noranda Construction to conduct further business in Cohasset as he feels they have intentionally disregarded timelines for completion. MOTION: by Member Westcott to withhold further lot releases until the applicant completes his responsibilities including but not limited to: obtaining copies of written approvals from gas,electric and telephone companies and,showing a 15' easement around detention pond on the plan. Once these items are submitted to the satisfaction of the Board,Form 6 will be signed and lots will be released. SECOND: Member Ivimey VOTE: 2- 1 MOTION CARRIES 9:10 P.M.
