OLD BUSINESS: Tabled projects.

NEW BUSINESS: #SD2009-05 ~ Paul & Doris Frey proposed 2-lot subdivision. Applicant’s were in attendance to explain their project. They are owner’s of 4.1+/- acres of land located just north of Stone Bridge Road on State Route 9, in the Hamlet of Pottersville. They plan to subdivide the property, which has a 25 ft. ROW to the rear of the parcel, keeping the existing dwelling on a ½ acre parcel, and leaving the proposed rear lot, which is vacant, at 3+/- acres. Applicant also owns a small parcel in front of the proposed 3 acre parcel, and running along the ROW, which has a separate deed, and also a drilled well on it. The water from that well will be shared with any purchaser of the property for a five year period, after which, if the municipal water line does not extend to that property, they will have to drill their own well. On a motion by Mr. Dutcher, seconded by Mr. Bump, a motion was made to schedule a public hearing for the December 21st meeting. Motion carried 7/0. Applicant has already relocated to Pennsylvania, and stated that they have obtained letters from their immediate neighbors, none of which have any problem with the proposed project.

#SD2009-06 ~ Mildred West proposed 2-lot subdivision. Applicant was present and project was presented by her son. Applicant owns approximately 117+/- acres off East Shore Drive, Loon Lake, and proposes cutting off 4.61 +/- acres of a non-shoreline parcel that will be conveyed, presumably for construction of a single family dwelling with related on-site wastewater treatment system and water supply. Although not contiguous, the property has a little over 250 feet of road frontage. There are no wetlands on the 4+ acres, and applicant has received a non-jurisdictional determination from the Park Agency. Following brief discussion, motion was made by Mr. Thurling, seconded by Mr. Dutcher, to schedule a public hearing for the December 21st meeting. Motion carried 7/0.
