RIGBY, GREG- (OWNER of HIDDEN GREENS): INFORMATIONAL: INTERESTED IN SELLING LOTS AT HIDDEN GREENS: Tax Map #77.00-3-various lot numbers; AR Dist.
(Taped session)
Mr. Rigby presented the plans for the subdivision of Hidden Green Development for a potential buyer of a piece of property he owns. Mr. Rigby is requesting three changes to the property.
First change: The Town of Brutus has passed a resolution to accept the change in the formal road, terminating the existing road and create a new road for access into the new proposed lot; waiting on the Town Attorney to accept the meets and bounds description of the road then it will be completely tuned over to the town.
Second change: Merge the following five lots # 9, 10, 11, 17 & 18 and turn into one lot (one tax map) of less than 20 acres. Mr. Rigby has a buyer for this property. These lots to be sold will have a restriction covenant in order to maintain property value and the quality of the neighborhood.
Third change: Eliminate the retention pond on lot #18.
Discussed the correct lot frontage for the potential lot; Mr. Rigby reviewed the code laws for frontage and in the code law it only states mandatory lot width size not depth size for frontage. He is going to discuss this with Code Enforcement Officer, Tim Ganey.
Mr. Rigby will return to the planning board to review with the Planning Board more maps and documents requested by the board for further discussion.
Member Ostrowski would like the board to seek legal guidance regarding the specification on the road as well as reach out to the Town Engineer regarding the retention pond.
7:40 Mr. Rigby left meeting.
