Northbrook Four-Lot Subdivision. Michael Pia, Jr. was present to request direction from the Board regarding the preference for on-site sewage for the proposed four lots, versus public sewer service. The Board requested more information from the area residents on their perceived need for public sewers, including the eight parcels located in the triangle between Doe Run Road and Route 926. Additionally, we need information regarding the maximum amount of flow that both the existing line from Longview Lane as well as the pump station at Traditions could accommodate. There was also discussion about the developer’s willingness to front the cost of line installation to the properties adjacent to and north of his property, in the event that those residents do not connect immediately.
Request for Relief from 100-foot Buffer in Traditions. Stuart Stabley, of 468 Larkspur, requested relief to accommodate a deck extending twelve feet from his deck, and encroaching slightly into the 100-foot perimeter buffer area. By unanimous vote, (4-0), the Board approved locating the footers 9.5 feet from the Stabley house, with the deck extending 11.5 feet from the house.
