Comments As documented by the March 17, 2022, STOP WORK ORDER
issued by City Engineer, Deborah LaBreche, P.E.; the current
owner of the 44 Ruggles Rd. Subdivision, Ms. Eberlein, had not
complied with:
• the Planning Board Subdivision 2020 Requirements for 44
Ruggles Rd,
• the City’s Conservation Policy, and
• the Subdivision Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
As stated in the March 17, 2022, STOP WORK ORDER:
“Applicant failure to delineate no- cut buffers and conservation
areas prior to clearing, cutting, site work, and construction in
accordance with the Planning Board' s Notice of Decision.” On
March 17, 2022, conservation areas were not delineated.
The conservation areas for the 42 Ruggles Rd Subdivision
were discussed in the 2019 Planning Board meeting per the
minutes:
From the May 19, 2019, PB Meeting Re Conservation Area
Mark Torpey, Chairman questioned how to properly delineate
the conservation area.
The agent’s applicant stated the deed and Covenance are filed
with the County Clerk’s office with the plat. We are proposing
standard no cut buffer signage and are proposing six signs
noting the location for the Board.
Mark Torpey, Chairman spoke regarding the signage and
labeling and what is proposed in perpetuity. Approval for this
could be a contingency if we move this application forward this
evening. Also how the rural integrity of Ruggles Road is being
preserved in terms of buffering.
From the December 12, 2019, PB Meeting Re Conservation
Area
Todd Fabozzi questioned the conservation area and how will it
be buffered and denoted.
Mr. Ingles stated over half the area will be preserved. The
applicant will provide signage so it will remain for perpetuity.
Ms. Eberlein only put up the required Conservation Signage in
May 2022. The required signage was based on the 2020
Planning Board’s Notice of Decision.
Since the current owner has failed to comply with these
requirements in the past it should be required that the city verify
compliance in the future.
