Erin Moore of Clark Engineering and Bill Clarke of the Carmelites appeared before the board with approval from Columbia County Health Department for the public water supply system located on the grounds. They also provided copies of the wastewater submission, which was not substantially changed to what was presented previously. This project for a memorial chapel is going to be done in phases. The concrete may be poured next month and the septic installed. Copies of the map will be stamped and a copy will be submitted to Columbia County Planning.
John Fieser sent a map to the Planning Board of a proposed two residences on a single lot on the former Kline Horse Farm on County Route 6 by Ann Spiess. The board discussed wetlands on the property and any proposed expansion of ponds on the property. They would also like to see a driveway permit showing the fifty-foot right of way for the proposed lot if subdivision is needed at a later time. The likely place for a driveway entrance is on a curve and they would like to know that there is adequate site distance. A motion was made by Aldo Dusman, seconded by Clayton to send a letter to John Fieser requesting a driveway permit for the site distance so that it will be legal if they were to subdivide at a later time. All in favor. So carried. A letter will be written.
A motion was made to adjourn by Jennifer Phillips, seconded by Brenda Case at 8:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Helen Shannon
