would be completed until the spring. He further stated that Robert Our would be completing the having but would not be hired until the spring. Mr. Hansen stated that, before Mr. Rowley and Mr. Balzarini arrived, Mr. Haney indicated that his arborist was identifying additional trees to make way for the water line, but left prior to Mr. Rowley's arrival. Mr. Rowley reported that the road was clear today, though was strewn with potholes and in need of grading. Mr. Rowley stated that it was not appropriate to blame Robert Our when Mr. Haney needed to access the area to remove tree trunks long before Robert Our would be paving. Mr. Rowley stated that Degrasse needed protection with the temporary stone entrance of 1.5-2 inch stones to remove dirt from the tires of the truck. A curb cut was needed from the Town in order to install the temporary entrance. Mr. Fudala stated that Mr. Haney responded that he was not working in the right of way of Degrasse Road and Mr. Rowley responded that Degrasse needed protection and Carriage Road was supposed to be used for access for vehicles and equipment. Mr. Balzarini echoed Mr. Rowley's thoughts that Blue Castle should not be used for the trucks. Mr. Rowley stated that Carriage Road had been rough graded, but that Degrasse Road was a Town way needing protection. Mr. Fudala stated that as landowner, Mr. Haney should be able to apply for the curb out, Mr. Rowley had requested that Mr. Haney follow up with Ms. Laurent to discuss the issue. Chairman Waygan inquired who at the Town would enforce damage to a Town way. Mr. Rowley stated that an initial complaint would likely come from the DPW Department since they were responsible for Town ways. Mr. Rowley stated that Mr. Haney agreed to contact the DPW regarding the curb cut last week and to install a 1.5-2 inch stone for a temporary entrance on Carriage Road where it intersects with Degrasse, wide enough for turning trucks and extending 50 feet. Mr. Rowley reiterated that Degrasse needed to be kept clean and the road edge needed to be protected. In summary: 1) Site inspection occurred to examine tree stumps. It appeared that erosion would not be an issue for the stumps to be removed. Stump removal was authorized for the area that had already been cleared/trees cut. The area of discussion was approximately 100 yards and 50 feet from the existing Blue Castle. Mr. Haney stated that stump removal was the only work to be done, by the end of the month, and flagmen would be present during the work. 2) Once stumps were removed, Mr. Rowley would re -inspect the site to identify any areas that could be potential problems for erosion during the winter months and hay bales would be installed as necessary. 3) Mr. Haney was urged to apply for a curb cut permit with DPW and install a 1.5-2" stone entrance on Carriage Road, approximately 20 feet wide and 50 feet in, where it intersects with Degrasse. The Planning Board needs to confirm the process for the application for the curb cut because the project proponent has stated that it was the responsibility of the contractor. Mr. Fudala has stated that the homeowner could apply for the permit. 4) Mr. Rowley visited the site again today, noticing that additional trees had been removed for the purpose of installing the water main to the individual lots. Mr. Fudala stated it was a concern because abutters had contacted the Town Planner to state that Blue Castle had been blocked by trucks and equipment.
