Board informed Mr. Bouvier that the house lot, existing driveway, sewer and septic locations will need to be put on final plat drawings. The total acreage to be disturbed will need to be indicated. Mr. Bouvier was also informed that in addition to the 2 paper copies of plats, 2 mylar copies are also needed for the public hearing date to sign off, and complete this process.

Mr. Bouvier informed the Board that the water test was taken approximately 2 ½ weeks ago, and he is awaiting an official letter from Albany County. He will submit this letter to the Planning Board Secretary as soon as it is received.

Planning Board Secretary presented Mr. Bouvier with his letter of classification for the application, as well as abutting land owner letters for certified/return receipt mailings. Secretary will place legal notice in Altamont Enterprise for public hearing date.

Sherri Pine presented paper copies of the window screens used by the Town of New Scotland software to track building lot changes. Sherri indicated that this software was believed to be very similar to what our CEO, Mark Overbaugh currently uses. Perhaps we could utilize this software, rather than purchasing something new. Kathy Wank will investigate this option with Mark Overbaugh, and bring results to the next meeting.

Motion made to adjourn meeting at 8:01 PM by Dorothea Cotter, seconded by Alfred Stettner. All in favor, none opposed.

Respectfully submitted, Kathy Wank, Planning Board Secretary
