Board hears updates on development compliance, solar project trees and broadband timeline
Summary
Officials reported two recent compliance filings including an archaeological find during Bridgeland work, continued follow-up on the Baird solar project's tree replacements, and that the town is scheduled for phase 3 in a county broadband rollout.
Town staff reported two compliance filings since the last meeting: an amendment related to tree clearing and a resubmission after an archaeological investigation turned up an unspecified finding. "They had to go back out and do an archaeological investigation and then something was found," a staff speaker said; the filing did not specify the nature or location of the discovery and the town is awaiting further details.
The board also received an inspection sheet for the Baird solar project and is still awaiting a reply on when dead trees will be replaced. Staff discussed timing for water-line work on Poussey, Delano Seal Road and other civil-construction tasks, and the cement-plant work likely starting next spring. Broadband rollout (North Shore Network) was reported to be a three-phase project; Barre is planned for phase 3 and may not receive service until later in the grant timetable, with the grant deadline at year end.
Board members asked staff to continue monitoring consultant and contractor activity, follow up on the archaeological report and confirm tree replacement plans for the solar installation.
