Planning Board 07/16/2026

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy)

A town meeting agenda can look routine until you hear what’s actually at stake: bridge construction timelines, subdivision lot counts, wetland buffers, and the tiny measurement fixes that decide whether a plan complies. We walk through the July 16, 2026 Raynham Planning Board meeting step by step, with clear votes on a South Street East alteration plan that supports state bridge work and a candid explanation of what’s changing and why it doesn’t cost the town anything.

Then the pace picks up. The Liberty Way subdivision at 699 Locust Street (11 proposed lots on about 18.9 acres) gets continued after the applicant flags Natural Heritage complications and likely design changes. We also put an important process issue on the record: large plan files never reached consulting engineers, which delayed peer review quotes. If you’ve ever wondered why permitting timelines slip, this is a real-world example of how easily a technical snag can ripple through a public hearing schedule.

From there, we shift into nuts-and-bolts land use work: A and R plans for West Pine Estates, including a dedicated parcel for a centralized gang mailbox and a correction that takes an access width from 49.98 feet to a compliant 50 feet. Two Spruce Street estate lot special permit hearings follow, with practical discussion about routing driveways, staying out of wetlands fill, working within the 100-foot buffer, and matching conditions already applied to earlier approvals so rules stay consistent.

We close with board business that affects how decisions get made going forward: tabling Raynham Preserve releases due to tax issues, debating how to fairly pick an associate planning board member (and inviting applicants to speak), setting the public safety building hearing as an abbreviated site plan approval, and starting the review process for an East Pine Estates road covenant and construction cost estimate that can lead to lot releases.

This is the altering some uh some lots, some parcels on the South Street East and the bridge so that the state can continue uh construction on the bridge. We have the plans in front of us right here. It's all very straightforward to me. It doesn't cost the town anything. Take some from here, give some over there to kind of continue with the with the construction of uh of the bridge.

unknown 2:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 2:02

I'll make a motion that we accept the points.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

I'll second that. All right, but yeah, sorry.

SPEAKER_08 2:11

Any further discussion? All in favor?

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Just for the record, sorry. The people that might be watching, this is all obviously town-owned stuff. There's nothing. Okay, no money or any of the okay. Um, yeah.

Liberty Way Subdivision Continued

SPEAKER_08 5:02

Perfect. Brings us to six oh five, the public hearing on Liberty Way subdivision, six ninety-nine Locust Street, vanilla projects.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Okay, for the record. In accordance with provisions of MGL Chapter 40A, 41, Section 81T and 81U, the Rainham Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, July 16th, 2026, at 6.05 p.m. at Rainham's Veteran Memorial Town Hall, 558 South Main Street, on application for approval of a definitive plan submitted by Paul and Misty Bomilla Ranium Mass for a subdivision known as Liberty Way. 11 proposed logs on 18.9 acres of land at 699 Locust Street. Assesses map 12, lot 233A, Ranium. Plan is prepared by Silva Engineering Associates Bridgewater Mass. Any person wishing to be heard or interested in the proposed plan should appear at the time and place designated. A copy of the plan and application may be viewed in full at Rainham Planning Board or Town Clerk's office at Rainham Veterans Memorial Town Hall.

SPEAKER_08 6:12

We opened it up and uh we have a some correspondence here from Silver Engineering that they request to continue this to the next meeting on August 6, 2026. They are not quite ready tonight, so they requested to continue it. And we will continue that to August 6th, 2026 at 615. Sorry for anyone who came for the public hearing for Liberty Web, but we are continuing. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 6:44

So apparently they're having some problems with natural heritage and not sure what's going to happen with the lot design and maybe some changes to the plan that they submitted. So that's the reason for the continuance request. I also wanted to spell a couple of things that uh I found out today about the review quotes. Uh back on uh June 2nd, I did send out uh a package that was sent to me by Maureen for uh three different review quotes from three different uh engineers. Um I found out yesterday when I reached out to all three of them because they didn't respond to my quotes, to my email, that the um the plans I had sent, the files were too big and none of them were able to be sent. So no one got that original email. So I reached out to all three of those engineers and they all actually kept me back a quote for today's meeting. However, those quotes are proof at this point because the plans may change. So I just wanted to put that into the record because there was some concern that some of these engineers got the plan, some didn't, but it was in fact known that the plans back on the 6th of June. So when we get the uh revision of the plans, uh I'll make sure that they all get them appropriately, the day that I send them. Uh and to answer your question, sir, we we may have plan changes, so I would stay tuned and know if we're gonna have changes, we'll let you know. All right.

SPEAKER_08 8:09

Thank you, Bob. Next on the agenda is 6.15. We have a few minutes until we get to that. Um, take things out of order a

Bonds, Bills, And Agenda Shuffle

SPEAKER_08 8:19

little bit. Invoices, bills, payable are going around. There's nothing else right up. Thanks okay. The account closings, 140 Broadway uh project review insurity bonds.

SPEAKER_06 8:32

The project is 110% complete. So you can send that up.

SPEAKER_08 8:36

Okay. Do we approve that? Do I make a motion to approve that? This is my first time. Okay. I'll I'll entertain a motion to approve uh the the account closing for the 140 Broadway project review insurity bond.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

So moved. Second.

SPEAKER_08 8:53

Any discussion? All right, hearing none. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye.

unknown 8:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

And then we have if I may bring it. For preserve? Yes. For matters out of out of order. Um the uh AR plans, which are in for 620, but they're not, it's not a public hearing anyway, so it doesn't matter what time they are. Um technically, those AR plans should be um approved before the two special permits are heard. The special the alterations to the access roadway to the that has to remain a fifth constant 50 feet, and they the subdivision plan was approved, and they needed some site modifications to do that. So the uh the the request under the special permit shows the plans the way they are after modification through the A and R plans. So the AR plans should actually be dealt with out of before, out of order before.

SPEAKER_08 9:47

That sounds that sounds good. All right, I'm happy to take that one out of order.

SPEAKER_06 9:58

Okay.

A And R Plans And Mailbox Parcel

SPEAKER_08 10:00

Yeah, so let's do the 620 now at 610. AR plans. Gentlemen. We've seen you a bunch, but state your name for the record.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

It's uh Evan Watson, W engineering, um, representing Lumville Holmes and also Tom Carney. So um the first plan is an AR plan for the drainage parcel that is on Pine Street. This is the Pine Street uh West Pine State subdivision, and the um the Postmaster General they no longer give uh mailboxes to individual homes, so we have to accommodate that with a gang mailbox, and um so the spot that we did put it is here along Pine Street for the residents here. Um there's already it's already constructed with a little turn there, but to take that uh under consideration in the homeowners association, we wanted to define that parcel separately so that we can define the different maintenance and things that they're responsible to do. So that's all this is, is just to carve out this little section for the mailbox. They're both just the drainage parcel and the parcel C for the mailbox. And then the other two plans, as Lee was describing, um, basically correct a small plan change. We did get the variants from the zoning board to allow for a state lot on the road before it's approved from the town or accepted by the town. And one of their conditions was to double check that it was 50 feet wide. So what ended up happening when I was drawing the plans, um, I had this line straight, and then when the surveyor did the final um correction or the final determination of the perimeter, there was actually a small angle point here which made this like 49.98 feet or something. So um this plan just corrects that to change that a little thing. So now we have a full 50-foot width for the entire access portion of the lot.

SPEAKER_07 13:02

That's uh is this lot at the end of the pulpit?

SPEAKER_03 13:06

Yes, this is at the end of all the way down the end of the closest.

SPEAKER_07 13:11

Yeah, one goes right and one left. This is the left one. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:17

And this lot is still owned by the um previous owner of the entire property, which is uh Brothers Realty Trust or um Tom Carney. And then this is the other lot which uh was owned by uh Brothers Realty Trust but was sold since sold to Mombill Homes. Uh so the same thing, we made this uh 50.2 feet wide, so it applies as well. So that's it in a nutshell. If there's any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. And we're looking for the board to sign these formate plans, and then when we move on to the special permit, then the the lots will be uh in accordance with the bylaw authority and estate lot. It makes sense to do these out of order this way. Yeah, thanks.

SPEAKER_08 14:07

I I don't have any questions on its widening if it's making it comply.

SPEAKER_07 14:16

Anyone for these lots? I don't know if I should bring it up now or later, but um I know we're getting five grand per lot. And you're gonna five grand to each of these lots too?

SPEAKER_08 14:36

Put the condition on that.

SPEAKER_07 14:37

Uh adds condition to approval. Well, you can't put the condition.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

You can't condition it anyway.

SPEAKER_06 14:45

No, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_07 14:49

Oh I wanted to put it out there. There's water and sewer on both these, right?

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Yeah, as a it's as a parcel. Yep. Yeah, right. Because it doesn't have the frontage or area for a buildable lot, and it goes way down.

SPEAKER_06 15:18

The mailbox is there already? Does it turn off so that people can stop and get the mail? Not as fancy as uh Goldfinch, but uh quite no one is fancy.

SPEAKER_08 15:27

Is this just for West Pine? It'll be a different one for East Pine.

SPEAKER_04 15:32

It's the same for both, right? For East Pine and West Pine. Yeah, it it's for both. Yeah, it is the one exact number for now for uh parcel boxes and mailboxes for both.

SPEAKER_05 15:43

That worked out. That worked out. So that's pine and spruce.

SPEAKER_03 15:47

It'll be for Spruce Street, or uh the lots that are on Pine Street receive a mailbox, right?

SPEAKER_04 15:53

Yeah, you get a mailbox.

SPEAKER_03 15:54

Yes, so all the 4 May lots along Pine Street receive a mailbox, but for East Pine Estates across the street, which isn't shown on this plan, uh they'll also utilize that mailbox.

unknown 16:12

Good.

SPEAKER_03 16:14

Alright, and I think you have the myliars, right?

SPEAKER_08 16:17

So we um we have a lot of my motion separately for each of these, or can I make one for all three? Bob, Maureen.

SPEAKER_06 16:32

You can do a blanket motion and identify each one because five.

SPEAKER_08 16:36

Yes, I would entertain a motion to approve all three AR plans. Okay, yes, the as presented.

SPEAKER_06 16:46

As presented.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

So moved.

SPEAKER_08 16:52

Second. Yep. All right. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye.

unknown 17:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

Sign a good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

I don't know which one.

unknown 18:36

You lost your other time now.

SPEAKER_05 18:38

I think she has.

SPEAKER_08 18:43

We have two, I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 18:44

Yeah, I brought the other one on the problem.

SPEAKER_03 18:51

I meant to bring four Sharpies. I apologize. That's okay.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

I've been there before with with uh mileage plans and no pen to sign it, so it's a special one.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

They have the time zone.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Yeah, I don't think that's I don't think it does.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

I mean, what blue is okay, right? Blue is okay. No, I think it write.

Spruce Street Estate Lots Hearings

SPEAKER_08 20:37

Okay. 615 a little past that, but that worked out. We took things out of order. Public hearing for Spruce Street, Lot 55, estate moment.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

The Rainham Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, July 16th, 2026, 6.15 p.m. at Rainham Veterans Memorial Town Hall, 558 South Main Street, on application for special permit submitted by Brothers Realty Trust, Thomas P. Carney, Trustee, Southeastern Mass, to allow the creation of an estate lot in accordance with Rainham Zoning Bylaws, Section 6.13, estate lots, without having frontage on a public way relative to which the Rainham Board of Appeals granted the lot a variance. Locust property is on Spruce Street, West Pine Estates, off Pine Street, assesses map 13, lot 55, Rainham Mass. Any person wishing to be heard or interested in the proposed plan should appear at the time and place designated. A copy of the plan and application may be viewed in full at Rainham Planning Board or Town Clerk's office at Randham Veterans Memorial Town Hall.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

Thank you very much. Again, it's Evan Watson, W engineering, representing the applicant Brothers Realty Trust. I have both plans. We submitted along with the application a quick little schematic site plan which demonstrates how the lot could be. So it's it's this side of the board. This is the through street. This is uh what the file refers to as the access area, so we just have the driveway and utilities coming up through here. We are able to curve away from the wetlands, and then we get to the upward portion of the lot right back here. Um in this case, I showed a um a typical house with a garage and a little turnaround driveway. Maybe a little extravagant, not sure of what the actual uh buyer or builder would want to do, but I wanted to show um kind of a larger build out just for the sake of uh you know what could be done.

SPEAKER_05 22:48

Now that access road you're talking about, isn't that wetland zone right there? So the wetland line comes right up through here and then comes back down.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

So it's this valley through here. Right along the stone wall, um, there's a gap between the wetland and the stone wall. And we will have to go to conservation uh regardless because we are within jurisdictional areas within the hundred-foot buffer zone.

SPEAKER_08 23:11

But that the roadway you you said you were able to skirt not having to go over it?

SPEAKER_03 23:16

That's right. This this doesn't involve any wetland filling at all. That's weird. As we said earlier, there is uh existing sewer, water, and electric service here, so we can bring it up.

SPEAKER_08 23:32

How many acres is that is that one?

SPEAKER_03 23:35

27 acres, 27 in change. That's huge. It's mostly wetlands, so the upland area is uh 2.6 acres. Okay. You know, in the in this zone. So if on the form A plant shows the lot in its entirety and it goes all the way down um and abuts the Whippoil uh lot and the is that the Bassett Knollbrook, uh, etc. And then wraps around all the way down to um Dough Run. It's a huge lot? It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:10

How close would I know this is just a drawing, but how close is that house to that property line that I think is owned by the same person?

SPEAKER_03 24:17

I show it 20 and a half feet. I said that is 20 so I yeah. Interesting. Again, just showing what the the worst case scenario would be.

SPEAKER_06 24:30

Any any bit with the two variances in place for both these lots?

SPEAKER_07 24:38

Um they both need the bylaw because the bylaw so why don't we uh I'd like to make a motion that we uh grant the special permit with the conditions of uh West Pine estates, same conditions.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

What what what conditions were they?

SPEAKER_06 25:03

All the conditions that you approve. That we approve the route. Yeah, would be just identical.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

At the time this couldn't be considered a buildable lot because an estate lot needs to be on a public road accepted way. So then we we see the variance and now we meet it.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

So I will second that.

SPEAKER_08 25:30

All in favor?

SPEAKER_06 25:34

Is that motion for individual or for both lots?

SPEAKER_08 25:39

We only did it on the first one.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

I get to read again.

SPEAKER_08 25:45

All right, 617 public hearings, Spruce Street lot 55B, SDL.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

The Rainham Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, July 16, 2026, 6.17 p.m. at the Rainham Veterans Memorial Town Hall, 558 South Main Street, on application for special permit submitted by Robert F. Long, Longfield Homes and New Bedford Mass to allow the creation of an estate lot in accordance with Randy Zoning Bylaws, Section 6.13 estate lots, without having frontage on a public way relative to which the Rainhium Board of Appeals granted the lot a variance. Locust property is on Sprue Street, West Pine Estates, off Pine Street. It assesses map 13 lot 55B, Rainham Mass. Any person wishing to be heard or interested in the proposed plan should appear at the time and place designated. A copy of the plan and application may be viewed in full at Rainium Planning Board or Town Clerk's office at Rainium Veterans Memorial Town Hall.

SPEAKER_03 26:45

Thank you. Um again, same person representing now Lumville Homes. Um, this is for the lot on the other side of Spruce Street, the other state lot. Uh similar situation. We have our access area through here along the lot along Spruce Street. And then we get into the back of the nice upland zone over here, and come up with the driveway along the stone wall. We'll have our electric underground, water, and sewer leading up to the house. Again, this house is a typical house essentially that Lombell has been building all along here, so I drew this plant up to demonstrate how one of those houses would look. And this one's a little bit further away from the property line just because we didn't do the you know the fancy driveway and the uh front entrance, etc.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

Alright.

SPEAKER_08 27:46

I do like the fancy driveway. Thank you. Uh Bob, you said both of these meet bylaws when you go. I I think I don't have any issues with it.

SPEAKER_07 27:58

Any I would uh make a motion to uh accept with the same conditions as West Pine as states.

SPEAKER_06 28:12

Second.

SPEAKER_08 28:13

Alright, any further discussion on that?

SPEAKER_06 28:15

So the motion is to grant the special permit with the same conditions. With the same conditions, yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 28:20

We have a second. Uh any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Okay. Thank you very much. Anything else at that?

SPEAKER_03 28:33

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 28:34

I wonder if I got something wrong.

SPEAKER_08 28:36

All right, that does bring us through the agenda.

Preserve Releases And Associate Member Plan

SPEAKER_08 28:39

Oh, you do, I do. Um, yeah, you have the covenant.

unknown 28:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 28:43

We started with the account closings for 140 uh Broadway. We did that. Next on that is the Rainham Preserve and the Rainham Preserve piece. I have a note from town administrator to table the releases. There are some um some issues and taxes that need to be paid. Um Bob, do you have any input on that? Should we hear from Lee first?

SPEAKER_06 29:07

Town administrators on vacation this week. I guess you're gonna try to clean things up and get back to the next week, and then we'll reach back out to you square next week.

SPEAKER_08 29:18

Should we put that on the August 6th meeting?

SPEAKER_06 29:20

Uh it'll be for discussion purposes.

SPEAKER_08 29:22

Okay. All right, so we'll table those ones. Next under discussion, the associate planning board member. So there will be a joint meeting with the select board on July 28th. Uh member of our select board is here with us tonight discussing and voting on the new associate planning board member. We received three resumes from three highly qualified individuals: a Mr. Young, a Mr. Wells, and a Mr. Moynihan. I reviewed them all. Um, in my opinion, out of the three, I I liked Mr. Wells the most. He has shown interest two times now, uh, which means he's very, very interested. He's uh, you know, he's born and raised in town. That's my opinion on him. Anyone else could review those? Have any input?

SPEAKER_01 30:14

No, I didn't review them. I think I got them a while ago, but I I didn't realize those were the only three that we got.

SPEAKER_08 30:22

Yeah, the window had closed by the time we got them.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 30:24

Um two weeks, I believe, right? So I'm not sure you need to make a board consensus tonight because you're gonna have a joint joint meeting with the select board and you'll be able to vote at that time. Um so and I I would do your homework and decide which one we think is uh most appropriate. I think they're all uh qualified. So just basically we wanted to bring that to everyone's attention and make sure that we schedule that meeting with the joint the joint meeting with the select board on July 20th.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

Are we gonna be able to invite them to the meeting to speak to us?

SPEAKER_06 30:56

I know prior to you can do anything you want. I mean it's up to you if you want to invite um all three of them.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

I'm not sure if that's what you want to do, but that's up to the Well, I just yeah, what I'm thinking is that before when we talked about you know how it was going to come out, we talked about maybe giving them the opportunity to like to let them know this is when we're gonna have a meeting or come in and talk to us. Uh and then now I I feel like we're just gone right to a vote.

SPEAKER_07 31:22

Yeah, I read them all, and I think Tim was the best because he's he showed a lot of interest.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

Yeah, I I you know I'm gonna have a different I I don't think you can look at I don't know anything about Tim. I don't know anything, but I don't think you can make a decision based on paper. I mean, I don't know. That's just the reason why I'm bringing it up is because our prior discussion, there was a discussion about not just blindly picking somebody without even talking to them. I think that if somebody puts their name out there, they should be given an opportunity to either come to a meeting and and talk or uh to know that that's what what to talk about. Um, whether or not the select board has any interest in, you know, having them the opportunity. They don't have to come if they don't want to, but I'm gonna go back to a year ago when I said if somebody puts their name out there and they're willing to volunteer their time, I think they should be given the opportunity to to I I just I've interviewed hundreds of people before, and I don't I would never hire somebody without ever speaking to them. I just wouldn't do it. And I I serve on the Commission on Disability in Middleborough. It's an identical situation. It is a volunteer, unpaid position, and anytime that we have a vacancy, any interested applicant gets an email that says, Would you like to join our next meeting and tell us a little bit about yourself and what you think you can contribute?

SPEAKER_05 32:50

I mean, it would be on our best interest to have an interview kind of one-on-one.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

Would you were to would you consider having interviews that same night, or do you think you want to have the interviews done before that joint meeting?

SPEAKER_01 33:10

Yeah, not a formal interview, but I just schedule when there's no. Right, just give just give them the opportunity. I just I cannot in good conscience tell somebody no if I've never spoken to them. I cannot in good conscience say this is the best person for playing board. I'm just looking at four person, it's not the same thing.

SPEAKER_07 33:36

Yeah, no, he's been into C the board before. Yeah, but I agree. I agree with that.

SPEAKER_06 33:43

So why don't you make a motion that we invite all three to that meeting? Allow them the opportunity to produce ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

Yeah, I will make that motion that means that correspondence to the applicants to attend the July 28th meeting 27th.

SPEAKER_06 34:00

I think that's the 28th 28. Oh, is that the 28th? Yeah, that's a two that's a two thing.

SPEAKER_01 34:09

On the 28th, just to give them the opportunity to say a few words. Optional, not required. Some people don't like to public speak, and that's okay too.

SPEAKER_07 34:18

Oh sorry. Any discussion?

SPEAKER_08 34:22

I I think it's very requirement, but all in favor? Aye. I will not be at that meeting. What's the voting numbers on that? Is it okay that I'm not going to be there? Four to five. You still have a meeting whether you're there or not? They shouldn't.

SPEAKER_05 34:42

They shouldn't they should wait for me. Um okay, awesome. I mean we if you wanted to uh if you feel you want to be there, obviously I I I would be interested in being there as well if I couldn't make it in. See if maybe we could reschedule for all of us. I think it's I think it's okay.

SPEAKER_06 34:56

We reschedule with that so at least you want to set that hearing date tonight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 35:04

No, but if we we have a meeting on the I mean we could switch meeting around for a different day that you would be available to actually, I mean you'd probably be on interest to me.

SPEAKER_08 35:18

When is your meeting after the 28th? Is there every other Tuesday? So then that would be the 11th, which is second Tuesday in August?

SPEAKER_06 35:30

Yeah. Would you be available?

SPEAKER_00 35:35

That's what I was then we vote on the 11th.

SPEAKER_07 35:37

Just thinking. Yeah. I think that would be better. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

Okay, so I will amend that.

SPEAKER_06 35:42

Okay, but the selectmen don't want to be part of the interview. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:51

Okay. So I will amend my motion to change the date of invite to the planning board meeting on August 6th rather than the select board meeting on the 20th.

SPEAKER_08 36:02

Second. Any discussion on that? Hearing none. All in favor of that amendment?

SPEAKER_01 36:08

Aye.

SPEAKER_08 36:09

Aye. Perfect. Okay. Moving on.

Public Safety Building Hearing Set

SPEAKER_08 36:22

Schedule the date for the public hearing on the public safety building. Um I have a note here to recommend August 6th at 6:10 p.m., which will be the second item on our agenda for the next meeting.

SPEAKER_06 36:37

Can you guys confirm that you've got all the information through my email? Sent out. Yes, I send out the plans, uh the application, the storm water management plan. Uh we're reviewing this as an abbreviated site plan approval. Uh, so it's not going to go off the third pattern review because it's a town project. Um so I just want to make sure that you're going to have an opportunity to review the plan before that meeting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:02

I'm sorry, Trump, when did you send those out? Because I they had my emails kind of.

SPEAKER_06 37:07

I sent I sent it to you and the rest of the board on the 13th. The 13th? Yeah, the beginning of the week, I think Monday.

SPEAKER_08 37:15

And there was a link in the email that he was forwarding, a link down from a chip. I'm not going to pronounce it last night. Height camp? Hey camp? I'm sorry? How do you pronounce Chip's last name? Chip Heidekamp? Yeah, I don't know. But that's it's in his email. It's a link that's a permanent.

SPEAKER_01 37:35

Well, I have a question. This is an abbreviated site plan, so you don't need four, you just need majority. I'm gonna call ethics about recusing as a being married to a five.

SPEAKER_06 37:47

I think I think if you you make you make it publicly known that you're the two sixty eight A. I don't think you have to yourself, but as long as you make that statement that um it's up to you, whatever you're comfortable with. You can call ethics if you like.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

They're gonna tell me to call a lawyer anyway, so it doesn't, but I'll just do the 268A, but just is an abbreviated site plan not a special permit. So if it what I'm thinking about scheduling and availability, and I don't want to get here on the sixth and be like, no, you can't do it. So if it's only the three that you need instead of the four, we're still covered, even if I can't, which I don't think that will be the case. I think if I'm you need four for the party.

SPEAKER_06 38:26

Chris will be here then, right?

SPEAKER_01 38:27

So you'll have you'll have you have the three. Well, you'll it just in case I can't, which I don't think will be the case.

SPEAKER_06 38:34

Well, you'll have four, because you're gonna be here for the six. You're just not gonna be here for the twenty-eight. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 38:39

So we should pick up the August 6th, 6.10 p.m. Do I make a motion on that? You know better than me, but if you make a disclosure.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

I think it's fine, obviously. Yeah, I do. I I don't have any, but I'm I like to dot my eyes and cross my sound.

SPEAKER_08 38:57

So you won't do I make a mo do I make a motion for that or just uh set it for the on the agenda?

SPEAKER_06 39:01

I don't think you need to make a motion. You just put it on the agenda. Or you can make a motion to accept it as abbreviated and then set the set the hearing date. But why don't you do that? Make a motion to accept it as abbreviated and then put it on the skin on the agenda for the sixth. I'd entertain that motion.

SPEAKER_08 39:18

I'm not making the motion here because I would entertain a motion to accept it as abbreviated and then review it on August 6th at 610.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 39:30

So moved.

SPEAKER_01 39:31

Second.

SPEAKER_08 39:32

So any discussion hearing? No. All in favor? Aye.

unknown 39:36

Aye. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 39:58

It's reviewed.

SPEAKER_08 40:04

All right.

East Pine Covenant And Cost Estimate

SPEAKER_08 40:05

Uh date has been set. Next under discussion is East Pine Estates, the covenant construction cost estimate. Someone representing Wallfire. Okay. State name for the record.

SPEAKER_04 40:16

Lee Castignetti, uh representing uh East Pine Estates, LLC. So I had uh submitted a uh form of uh covenant, um, just seeking your approval so we can get it on record um with respect to uh White Park way uh in East Pine Estates. Which one is that, the longer one or the shorter one? That's the shorter one. The paved one that's already paid, that's paved, correct. And um and then in conjunction with that submitted a uh proposed uh estimate um just to initiate the process, not uh obviously not expecting you to accept our uh proposed estimate at face value, but to send it out to uh whoever you're gonna use as a consulting engineer on it to uh confirm the uh the numbers or modify them or whatever. And I I didn't I I don't take it upon myself to include the contingency. I know that's up to them to do so. We uh we understand that there will be a contingency added, but again I I leave that to them.

SPEAKER_06 41:18

So that process has been initiated, it's sent out. Uh he's gonna use your list as guidance. Yeah, just like he did before. Right. We'll get his hard numbers. Uh if hopefully we'll have them for the next meeting, and we'll take take it up under uh general business. Um and uh if it's done by then, then you'll have something to look at and vote on, uh, and then you can release lots at that point. Yeah. Does that work for you? It does. Fine. Perfect. Okay. Anything about the covenant? Does that cover it? It's the same as across the street. Exactly. Yes, it's no change.

SPEAKER_04 41:53

So literally just change the each five names and change the lot numbers. That and that would that was it. The exact exact same thing. Saving money on duplication. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 42:05

Uh do we need to make a motion on any of this for tonight? I think just to approve the covenant.

SPEAKER_06 42:12

So we have a record of that so that we can get that on record. The bottom out will be uh more information for the next week.

SPEAKER_08 42:20

All right, so I would entertain a motion to approve the covenant for each one for implementing states. Do I need to say any more on that?

SPEAKER_06 42:30

Again, the exact same covenant for number four.

SPEAKER_08 42:42

All right. Any further discussion on this?

unknown 42:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 42:57
