Bruce Edwards, Pleasant Valley Road – Gravel Pit Hearing, Map 7, Lot 26:
Bruce Edwards came before the board regarding the Gravel Pit Application.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised he had discussed with Bruce Edwards that rather than charging fees for noticing two applications, it was done as one, since it was all being done at the same time. Abutters have all been noticed, and the lots are contiguous.
Nothing has changed from his previous application which expires. This does not include any crushing or blasting at this time, but could include some screening. However, he did request two changes:
1. Requested the Saturday hours of operation be changed to be from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Bruce did advise if any of the neighbors complained, he would oblige.
2. Mr. Edwards requested the application for permitting be changed from three years to four years to coincide with the State forms that are required.
Motion was made by Jim Bibbo to approve the Gravel Pit application as complete, with the two requested changes: the hours of operation on Saturday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, and the permitting requirement from three to four years. Barry Wheeler seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair opened the Public Hearing, there being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised the Conservation Commission has to be allowed time to review this information. Bruce Edwards advised they received the information three or four weeks ago.
Mr. Edwards presented a written waiver request for the permit extension to every four years.
Motion was made by Jim Bibbo to approve the waiver permit extension request to four years. Seconded by Barry Wheeler. Motion carried 5-0.
Bruce Edwards was advised his permits will be good until March 9, 2014. The permit will reflect the Saturday Hours being from 8:00am to 5:00pm on Application.
At this time, Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised the above mentioned extension regarding the wording in the Gravel Pit Regulations, changing the time frame for new applications from three years to four, per Variance 16A2, will be on the Agenda at the next meeting, the Work Session on March 23, 2010.
