Developer, association at odds over striping as board enforces May 15 deadline and schedules sitewalk
Summary
At the Fairway View Village hearing the developer reported detention pond and paving progress; the homeowners association asked the board to delay a decision on parking striping until a sitewalk, but the board said it lacked authority to cancel striping without a site plan amendment and reminded the developer of a May 15 deadline and a $5,000 penalty for unmet conditions.
The Planning Board heard extended discussion of the Fairway View Village subdivision, focusing on detention ponds, finishing work, parking‑area striping and a deadline imposed by a prior approval.
Ken Woods, the applicant’s engineer, and Walter Woods, the developer, reported the detention ponds at the end of Phili Lane were being finished and that guardrails and other punch‑list items were scheduled. The developer said he planned to finish paving and striping in the coming week to meet a May 15 deadline tied to the project approvals.
A representative identified herself as the association president and said several residents asked the board to postpone any decision on striping until after a sitewalk so the community could be heard. The developer and board clarified options: the board may approve a site plan or amendment but cannot unilaterally cancel striping; absent a timely amendment the recorded plan controls and the May 15 deadline (and the $5,000 penalty for unfinished conditions) remains in effect.
Developer Walter Woods stated in the meeting, "I'm going to accept the fine because I'm not going to be able to get those two items complete," noting he preferred to work with the association on a fix. The board scheduled a sitewalk for May 16 and said any amendment or relief would be considered after that inspection; otherwise the developer faces the existing enforcement condition.
What happens next: sitewalk scheduled for May 16 to inspect the finished ponds, striping and other items; the board indicated it will consider any proposed amendment after that sitewalk and reaffirmed the May 15 compliance expectation unless an amendment is approved.
