Mr. Matteson turned the meeting over to the Vice Chairman, Tom Turner, for this portion of the meeting. Dick Hoenes nominated Bill Matteson as Chairman. There were no other nominations. All approved Mr. Matteson as the Chairman.
The meeting was then turned back over to Mr. Matteson and he

Vice Chairman but Mr. Turner declined.
Mr. Turner nominated Mr. McKane.
There were no other nominations. All approved Mr. McKane as the Vice
Chairman.
Mr. Matteson asked if there
were any suggested changes to the minutes.
Mr. Matteson said that the access to the new lot on the Taylor
subdivision would be in the northeast end of the property, not the south. Mr. Hoenes motioned to accept the minutes
with this change and Mr. Stearns seconded the motion. All were in approval with the exception of Mr. Leonard, who
abstained, as he was not present at the last meeting.
The Planning Commission
received a notice from the Act 250 office concerning the Taylor subdivision at
the Nordic Motel. The Chapleaus,
abutters to the motel, are concerned about the days and hours of operation of the
proposed Waffle House. The Chapleaus
have not requested a hearing.
The Taylor subdivision is on
hold waiting for information from the engineer for the project concerning
waivers requested.
Second City LLC did a
subdivision in Rutland City that is within 500 feet of the Town. They did not include the Town in their
notification process. John Ruggiero of
Tenney Brook Court LLC would like the subdivision brought before the Rutland
Town Planning Commission. Mr. Hoenes
suggested having Mr. Ruggiero come in with a copy of the map and explain what
is being done. Mr. Turner pointed out a
sentence in the letter from Second City that states, “The Town was not in any
way altered, changed or modified by a subdivision.”
Professor John Van Hoesen of
Green Mountain College was supposed to give a presentation on the depth of
bedrock in various parts of Rutland Town.
He did a study for the State and the Town concerning ground water. In
his absence, Mr. Zingale showed the Commission some maps he downloaded from the
Internet. There were several questions
so the Commission decided to have Professor Van Hoesen rescheduled for a future
meeting.
Someone from Fairpoint
Communications will be coming to the next Rutland Town Planning Commission
meeting to discuss some equipment they will be installing.
Mr. Hoenes motioned to end
the meeting. Mr. Leonard seconded the
motion. All were in approval. The meeting ended at 7:37 P.M.
