We need to know if the owner of lot 4 can pass and repass motor vehicles over Serenity Lane and if Serenity Lane is a sufficient roadway for those purpose including a fire truck to get up there. Jody Hodgdon, Attorney for Brian Badger, said there certainly is a right to pass over that piece of land, that’s what the access deed was to. I have not been up to examine the road but do know there was a approve subdivision on that road passes by this piece of land here so I assume if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for this lot.

It needs to be addressed how they plan to maintain get to town specs. Chairman Birknes mentioned there are a number of house out there now, who maintains the road? Billy Rines did not know, they were not plowed and did not know how a fire truck would get in there. Chairman Birknes asked how he handled any private roads? If someone builds on a private road it’s their responsibility to maintain the road. Billy says they need to be made clear of that.

Mr. Adams passed out handbooks and proceeded to give a history of the firms involved. Chairman Birknes asked what he thought the time frame would be on the construction. He had heard a few different times. Mr. Adams said they are working with the same concept plan and probable 12-15 yrs before it’s built out. Chairman Birknes explained we only had a part time building inspector, would this increase his hours?
In the concept plan it’s discussed there would be a police and fire station on a 2.8 acre parcel. This will need to be addressed. Mr. Adams said he knows it would be to the home owner’s advantage to have a fire station a short distance because of insurance and they certainly will look into that.
John Sweeney asked what they proposed to do for housing for the staff they plan on bringing in. Mr. Adams said they are looking for local and outside. We are looking at manager level housing but not a large number of people. They usually come in and work but don’t reside here. Mrs. Birknes asked size wise what you are looking at. Mr. Adams said about 450 single family and 50-75 apartments. Mrs. Birknes asked if they plan on building a village. Mr. Adams said they plan on building, retail, Post office, fire station, YMCA, library, restaurants, church and more. Connie Oliver asked what the building would look like. Mr. Adams said they would be beautiful buildings. They have been looking at post card pictures. They are into historical buildings. Mr. Deery said he had heard there would be two more hotels built with indoor water parks. Mr. Adams had no idea where that rumor had surfaced.

Mr. Adams says they may ask to shift a few things but are still planning on working with the existing concept plan.
