take it down also i'd like to remind you all that if you are seeking status as an interested person in any project which means you would have you would say something and you would have the ability to appeal it if that would ever come across your mind you need to speak app that on that application at the meeting keep that in mind first on the agenda tonight will be for my guess a stones application twelve desh one twenty six for condition don't use rude review p richwood zoning regulations six point eight two install new underground natural gas line service within the special flood hazard area for the following parcels two or three bridge street two forty two bridge three one twelve s put odd one seventeen esplanade one thirty seven esplanade in the residential commercial district and high density residential districts so on your monthly visit to  described all underground pipelines from existing mains that have been installed onto the dell letters anything at all different in this installation the previous installations now you  is there anybody in the public that has any comments questions thoughts wishes to speak the road right before the curb cut so just so there's no confusion crippling this access permit that they have this is for which driveway it's for the new  approved i believe that's the case but we can certainly talk to you guys about it that says there already are two houses on that driveway and the same number of houses will be using that to be sure it was covered and covering up anything that we wanted he cut he did it so for the fido why don't you yeah that's no problem decrease the size of that and i think if you do that that  you are you do you have decent communication with those others yeah but if you would try to get together with them and come up with some shared language we would like that you'll probably mean you should speak to your jerry are probably going to need to do it in a separate document since it's dealing with land that's not yours so you probably need some sort of a shared driveway agreement my immediate response to that was that's all well and good but that doesn't tell you anything the end to the subdivision it's just the letter that we got to serve discussed the importance quality of life to be includes being able to enjoy peace and quiet and to enjoy reading a book on her porch and to enjoy walking on the land in the road and i feel another house within the perimeter of the three neighboring of properties would bring more people more traffic and more noise just one example on monday when i started making putting these thoughts on paper at about two in the afternoon on in their bid but very persistent barking began sometimes involving two dogs going back and forth and this was still going on at seven twenty and evening and this is not an exception it seems to occur quite frequently throughout the week the sound balances off the cliffs and experience says this sound will stop for the day when an owner finally arrives home another house we can meet it could mean another dog quality of life and for the watching listening to and finding evidence of wildlife it's abundant back here and especially in the area near to the base and up to the top of the cliff and beyond an area that extends all the way along the back of all the properties aforementioned during the day i can watch fox and ravens right into the updraft confront of the cli go on our barn roof with its wings spread in the breeze near dusk we can sometimes hear of sighted coyote pops up on the ridge and they suddenly grow quiet when the food arrives at night one can listen to the bard out and there's at least two of them in the woods just to the south near the cliffs and in winter you can walk through the snow at the base of the cliff follow various tracks speculate on the destinies of the critters that made them the box last the hawks the owls they wouldn't be there if there wasn't any food it's really an ideal place and they may not stick around if another deal we all might peaceful repose and yet we keep taking away from each other we do this all around the world but we're here to talk about and i moved here  him to mine ours was shortly after we we all purchased these what was originally twenty eight point two acres and within i think it was three years it was chopped up chopped in half so it's already been subdivided into two fourteen parcels at the time of that division and the approval w cool ranted with the stipulation that there be no additional curb cut some time a few years ago when new owners moved in and they put a new driveway in and they went before the select board but no one can find the records of that they're lost in the somewhere in the bowels of the select board minutes long ago but there they did raise a number of concerns about safety and the advisability that driveway and so i understand that i guess just two years after stalling a number two years ago that the driveway was approved but in any case i am one of only two people of the original owners and now i'm watching a proposal for another chipping away at the land and i know it's easy to do it's a easy way to make money but adding house adds noise it adds light it in its people and it's an injury to the environment and to humans and even if we can't see it we hear it it disturbs our peaceful repose people i know you probably are aware of some of the studies on noise and how noise affects us every noise we hear is a bit of a strain on us every new ways that we hear is it and is interpreted by our bodies as a bit of a threat and noise increases blood pressure increases heart rate it increases it interrupts concentration and this wears on us i've spent my life trying to earn the time and space i could have and develop the temperament to be a thoughtful person and this is no innocent thing and it wouldn't be innocent if it were happening to the people who are favoring this i know that our civilization doesn't quite appreciate it but i was thinking a lot about this and it feels to me like it's like secondhand smoke we don't know that it's harmful until we finally understand that and develop a sensitivity to it but at some point we it's serious this is a community richmond is a community and everyone around to one part of the community is a wound to the town and i ask that we just think about what we're doing we have to i can't be the only one hit to include the area within the building on the open back because that is the best of us in like a logical place for a home and the minute you go west from there it's extremely steep so i think you'll have additional knowledge of the p gets so yeah because i don't quite understand i mean i do have some vague notion that these things have to and it makes sense that they have to material things have to make sense in terms of the grex and i understand that mine is it's not considered you know my plea is it's more of an emotional thing which is why i tried to talk about the science of noise because when you add more people all right david i'll ask you to ask right so no matter where the house is isn't it going to affect the animals and the birds and the important because it's actually part of that shouldn't uplands project the clip and view i c c all that land it goes all the way up to jericho and the ball that whole piece that many people including right have worked so hard against encompasses the correct well it's right to the top of the cliff ok it's i think as i understand it's like a flood or yard or something in the clip because actually the elliotts and we technically own you know first and foremost this is absolutely not for financial gain you know nine or nine billion that's just because there's another line here this is purely because we love living our right by our own roads so much if financially doesn't work you put more money into your house and then the house would be worth at the end by quite a large amount so we said wow what else can we do and you know we could do it might go that myself and so on i don't really have a lot of time i have i work a lot of hours so we said can we still can we still do this another way so we knew about that you know the matter was there and it seemed like that was an attention so we've taken a closer look at this as a way for us to do that was funny my wife and i were sitting there in our living room and we were saying you know it just kills us to do this in a way because i always feel like during the you know many times encroaching on nature and you're stating things over and so we definitely feel this i mean we the existing house so be consistent with with what was there because we had to think about that too same off we're going to rent this our other house or or sell it you know it has to be appealing to someone and we also want to be happy with being close to their house right how we feel about it and we're standing there and so we thought long and hard about this this is something we've been on there for three years and you know it's this thing that's been going back and forth for us and you finally just got to wonder is that all let's just go ahead and geographic feature in richmond and it's very very special and very precious and one of the neat things about them is that the army i guess was the army but some military groups trained there in world war two and when my kids were growing up they found p taunts and stuff in the rocks there so some of the troops that went over and the military actually practiced there so that's really quite a history provided as part of the final that emotion or flight would reflect that but i just mention that so that the matter what you decide if you want initial information then you wouldn't post the hearing but you would continue to get the additional information block residential subdivision original a lot to be used for i'm going to purposes in twelve new residential lots located at nine hundred twenty five jericho road within the high density residential southern district are some minor changes and a lot sizes in regards to general discussion number three lot well we do believe that a lot does from me coming off enough town land fifty foot piece of land and he bought a right away from me he says that you see i'm out there that goes into his  you find guidance for that or authority for that ok so but there's nowhere to the water and wastewater design right which under state laws would be good for you can do a deferral of the state i have read probably that read i just don't know where you are ordered as you can do it for all and we've we've discussed this before and guess i guess i'd like to be treated as a lot and i think that that is easier to go through our ordinance with than to leave the sort of i understand why you're why you're doing what you're doing action so the question is what information what's the minimum information and b or b needs to be conflict comfortable that you have a developer a lot here well we could leave that for our discussion  boxes with the driveways opposite the units we feel it's more aesthetically appealing for the potential buyers we do realize that the regulations to only allow for one perk for the driveway we put it that way just because of how it would look  documents and and you've given us nothing it has to do with how the ownership of the owner of the duplexes will be who'll own what whether they'll only common or and there was nothing building then split directly down the center of that waited to shows which unit will be required to maintain the water line the water right over here the water we are showing just one well per unit but will you have two pipes coming out of that well into each of the duplexes it to read these things over twice but i didn't look for that so do you feel that you have language regarding if you like the sharing of water is higher so in other words unit of water is covered within the state jurisdictional i understand that yes but then you're going to need some discussion in your comments about maintains what if you have one pipe going in to each building come back to the board if and when that lot is to be about on shore we we have applied for the state storm are discharged from and they're actually currently in the process of moving offices again so they're a little fac was where it is intended to soils on site are highly infiltrated so it's the intention of the system for it to just drain to directly back into the groundwater but we have provided emergency overflow still device the rest of the system and the new pervious area will be captured the roadside swells and rust channels where it will eventually all flow mention one thing to just bear in mind and that is that statistically i believe each household adds on the average one point nine children to the school and probably our school system can absorb that because i think the population has gone down some but i just think that that's something we in general to keep in mind about subdivisions is the cumulative effect people having access to capital anyway you should have been aware that when you purchased your property and the request for the making the pathway was a safety concern for children anything that i can do to i guess i'm just concerned because i really don't see the need to have increased folks coming through that area i just no one ever goes here and you wait and now you're inviting people to  have this is a home that location is just a premium beautiful parcel that the family has and so you know do you have discussions that will come in front of you later on how we're going to do this driveway properly  i guess the other area that we ask you need to consider revising is the plaque because the plaque doesn't show for anything for lots one two three or four the common land
