Stockbridge Planning Board
November 14, 2006

MINUTES

Present:  Chairman, Doug Rose, Barbara Cohen Hobbs, Gary Pitney, Eric Plakun, and Eugene Talbot

Absent: Paul Coates and Robert Bartle

Member Pitney made a motion to approve the minutes of October 24, 2006 as written.  Member Hobbs seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 3-0.

John Edwards presented the board with two permanent sign applications for Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.  The proposal is to replace two existing road signs one located at Interlaken Road and the other sign at the junction of Richmond Mountain Road.  The existing signs are constructed of wood and the proposed signs will be constructed of brushed stainless steel, which is more durable.  

Member Hobbs asked how big the existing signs were.  Mr. Edwards stated that the proposed signs are 40” x 14” but he didn’t really know the size of the existing signs.  The new signs will be two sided externally illuminated and would be bolted to a stone on the property.  

Member Plakun made a motion that the board recommends to the Board of Selectmen that they consider approving the sign application under Section 6.8.2(b) provided that they satisfy and meet the requirements under Section 6.8.1(d) in terms of proximity to the front property line.  Member Hobbs seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Attorney Laurie Robbins presented the board with a definitive plan for their endorsement for a subdivision owned by Haldor Reinholt.  Attorney Robbins stated that the definitive plan was previously approved but apparently Mr. Reinholt never recorded the plan within the statutory period of 6 months.  The board was requested at this time to certify that there were not any changes, modifications, amendments or rescission to the previous plan.  Attorney Robbins testified that there have been no changes to the original plan. Member Talbot made a motion that the plan has not been modified, amended, rescinded, or changed.  Member Pitney seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Member Talbot made a motion to adjourn this meeting at 8:00 P.M.  Member Pitney seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Respectfully submitted,

Jaimy Messana
Planning Board Secretary
