PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Mr. James Stuart advised the Planning Board is still debating whether to widen the road for the Ayers property. Half of the committee feels the road should be widened 28-30 feet (?) and the other half want the road to remain the same. There will be about 45-50 more cars on the road when the houses are built. Mr. Stuart stated the widening of the road is probably going to be the decision.

NEW BUSINESS
Mrs. Lillian Burry showed architectural plans for 8 Victorian Way. The property is off of Montrose Road and was purchased by Aspen. The plans consist of brick in the front and vinyl siding in the back and on the sides. The committee members recommend using cedar impressions instead of vinyl. They also recommend having the garage on the side of the house.

Mrs. Burry showed architectural plans for 16 Holland Lane. The house is under reconstruction because it was destroyed by a fire. The fire compromised the cinder blocks so they have to rebuild the foundation. They will use stone to build the new foundation. They will use stucco-type siding.

Mrs. Lillian Burry showed architectural plans for 49 Beaver Dam Road. The plan consists of three additions to the existing house. The additions will be built with stone veneer. Mrs. Peggy Joline stated, “This house has character.” The committee members agreed the plan has interesting architectural features.

Mrs. Burry showed architectural plans for 17 Colts Gait Lane. The addition is one-story high with a basement below, which is actually a lower level. The addition consists of a master bedroom and master bathroom. The addition and the existing home are two different styles; cape code style and town home style. Mr. David Rodetsky stated, “ There is no continuity between the addition and the existing house.” Mr. James Stuart stated, “ The plan is incomplete in definition of the basement space.” The committee members recommend a site inspection.

Mrs. Lillian Burry showed site plans for Block 46, Lot 1.15. The plans consist of a proposed tennis court. Terry and Larry Sorsby are going for a variance. The committee members feel that because this is a site plan there isn’t anything to review from the Architectural Review Committee’s perspective. The meeting was adjourned at 6:40 PM; Mrs. Peggy Joline moved the motion to adjourn and this was seconded by Mrs. Brenda Johnson. The committee member unanimously agreed.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 26, 2002 at 5:30 PM at Town Hall.
