Preliminary major‑subdivision plan: soil tests, wetlands and May 4 public hearing set
Summary
Erin presented a preliminary major‑subdivision plan with soils profiles and wetland mapping; three lots still require test pits. The board instructed the road engineer to provide profiles, scheduled a sitewalk before the hearing and set a public hearing for May 4.
Erin presented the preliminary plan for a proposed major subdivision, distributing soils profiles and maps showing test pits and a wetland that just touches one lot. She said three lots still needed soil testing and that the test pits were scheduled to be completed the following day. "These here are the ones that failed that are but there still is some on those properties," she told the board while explaining test locations.
The board and the road engineer discussed road profiles and where septic systems and wells would be located. Members asked Erin to bring complete profiles, test results and road engineering when the project returns; Erin said those materials and profiles will be available within a couple of weeks.
The board noted ordinance requirements that a preliminary plan for a major subdivision requires a public hearing. Members agreed to advertise and hold that hearing on May 4 (first Monday in May) and to conduct a sitewalk prior to the hearing so the public can observe the site. The board said the preliminary and final plans are not expected to differ substantially but the ordinance requires the two stages to give the public opportunity to comment.
Next steps: finalize the remaining test pits and road profiles, advertise the public hearing for May 4, and perform the pre‑hearing sitewalk.
