Chairman Hess opened the public hearing. James Trasher representing Alberici and sons was present to discuss the proposal. He stated that they are proposing a stockade fence with a planting of trees along the fence to shelter the maintenance equipment. He states that the two dumpster sites will remain the same with enclosures. The metal gate with breakaway feature for emergency vehicle use will be maintained. Trees along the fence will be used to block the view of trucks from neighbors. Trees to be planted about 20 feet apart. The standing rocks will be moved or placed on outside of fence.

Neighbor Martin Golanka spoke. He stated that he resides directly across the road from entrance. He stated that entrance is used very frequently. He stated that he is concerned about rollaway dumpsters. He states when they are moved that his house shakes, and the roads are getting beat up. He states the roads are dusty when dry and muddy when wet. The use of cedar fencing concerns him, he feels something more is needed that would be easier to maintain. He is wondering if driveway is to be paved. Is a dead end sign or no outlet sign to be installed? Other Regular Meeting Planning Board October 9, 2013
