meeting to discuss stump removal and identify grading to protect neighboring properties. The <br />Chair requested that a meeting take place next week. Mr. Fudala confirmed that complaints had <br />been received from the neighbors regarding runoff onto their property adding that something <br />needed to be done since the land would be left all winter. Mr. Haney stated that there was no <br />water up and downhill from the subdivision and stumps were located off the side of the travelling <br />way and would not be an issue, but that it would be monitored. Mr. Fudala added that the road <br />was beat up from work vehicles and Mr. Rowley responded that potholes should be graded with <br />temporary material and would be appreciated by the neighbors. Mr. Haney responded that he <br />would have the roads regraded when the stumps were being pulled. Mr. Balzarini recommended <br />hay bales and W. Rowley responded that there remained a good buffer at this point. Mr. <br />Rowley noted that a curb cut permit was still needed from DPW Director Catherine Laurent if <br />they planned to use Degrasse. Mr. Haney stated that he would use wood chips for a staging area <br />and Mr. Rowley recommended a stone apron so that material did not flow out onto Degrasse. <br />Mr. Rowley will meet with W. Haney on Monday, October 10 at 12:30, Mr. Balzarini will also <br />attend. Mr. Fudala stated that illegal dumping of wood chips had been reported. Mr. Haney <br />stated that they had not, but will follow up with Ace Landscaping, <br />Blue Castle resident Timothy Dorsey inquired whether there would be a traffic detail for stump <br />removal since there were access issues when the trees were being cut down. Mr. Haney stated <br />that it was complicated with the trees because it was a single lane road. Mr. Haney felt that there <br />would be plenty of space for trucks to be located in the layout, rather than the road, so there <br />would be no issues. Mr. Dorsey stated his preference that there be a traffic detail. W. Haney <br />stated that if there was a problem, he would take care of it. The Chair requested that Mr. Haney <br />stress with his contractors that they need to have the smallest amount of impact to the <br />neighborhood, even if it means the addition of flagman. <br />Ernie Virgilio, resident on Blue Castle, expressed his disgust in the way that he and his <br />neighbors' lives had been disrupted. Mr. Virgilio had been in contact with the phone company <br />engineer and confirmed that no one other than Verizon does Verizon's work. Mr. Virgilio also <br />stated that Mr, Haney had not attempted to reach Verizon initially. Mr. Virgilio stated that he <br />cannot control runoff onto his property and requested that the situation be settled. Mr. Virgilio <br />asked if the Planning Board could overrule the decision and the Chair responded that another <br />entity could appeal the Board's decision but that the appeal period had passed. The Chair stated <br />that the engineer would be meeting on site with the developer on Monday. <br />Eric Lubrano of Blue Castle was also frustrated with the process that has dragged for over a year, <br />with a road that looked bad. It was clarified that the construction plan was requested within the <br />year. <br />Great fi-ustration was expressed and the Chair requested respect for the Board. Mr. Balzarini <br />stated that the developer was the problem and needed to step up to the plate with no further <br />excuses. Mr. Weeden inquired about an extension if the permit if the schedule was delivered and <br />Mr. Fudala responded that the schedule had been delivered, but had not been followed. The <br />Chair requested that following Monday's meeting the schedule be finalized in a way to minimize <br />the impact to the neighbors, prior to contacting Town Counselor to identify other options.
