Attorney Brian lull represented the applicant. Mr. wall indicated that, following the last meeting, five issues were to be addressed to include revising Special Condition #9 to eliminate the two options, revising Condition #lo to initiate annual maintenance of Blue Castle no later than the sale of the first lot with no lots being released on Blue Castle until the improvements were made to the road, revision of the covenant to tie maintenance of Blue Castle to the Special Permit, notify owners of lot #38 that the improvements would impact their stone walls with no dissatisfaction expressed, and a draft easement forwarded to Mr. Barnes with verbal approval received. Mr. wall also reported.-that a revised plan.had been submitted reflecting the pavement extension of 5-feet to the end of the driveway with an apron as understood from the last meeting but reflected in the minutes as 5-beet beyond the driveway.

Mr. Rowley pointed out that on the other plan the driveway had been adjusted and when the driveway was readjusted, the 5-foot extension beyond the driveway was lost_ Mr. Rowley noted that the intent to extend the pavement beyond the driveway was to protect the end of Mr. irgilio's driveway.

Mr. wall indicated that the applicant would not have n issue with the extension but that it was an honest interpretation from the last meeting by Mr. Costa. In Condition ##9, Mr. wall proposed adding`nth the additional requirement that the pavement be extended 5-feet further to the west.'' Mr. Fudala suggested that it may not be needed for the Special Permit but, instead, approve the Special Permit with a condition that the plan be revised to show the extra -feet using the same May 1 date.
