Mr. Matteson gave an
overview of the Commission’s recent site-visit to the Decandio property off the
East Pittsford Road. Mr. Matteson said:
Mr.
Matteson cited the fact the Commission has no jurisdiction in whether Mr.
Decandio is allowed a second curb cut. He said the Commission is involved
because the Select Board requested an opinion from the Commission.
Mr.
Leonard moved to recommend to the Select Board that the new driveway
application be denied and that Mr. Decandio be allowed to relocate his existing
driveway to the location of the proposed driveway. Mr. Burgess made a second to
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Burgess cited the fact it was difficult to see when leaving the existing driveway on the Decandio property following the site visit. Mr. Burgess said he had to listen to hear if any vehicles were coming since he could not see.
Mr. Vajda questioned Mr. Matteson regarding a scheduled meeting involving the Select Board and Mr. Mark Blucher from the Rutland Regional Planning Commission. Mr. Matteson said he is aware of the meeting and that the purpose is for the Select Board to question Mr. Blucher regarding items in the proposed zoning regulations.
Mr. Matteson said he had asked not to attend the meeting.
