Meeting called to order.

1st Order of Business:

- Allen informed the Board of a MMA sponsored Planning Board/Board of Appeals workshop in Augusta on November 29th. He will remind everyone again at the October meeting.

- Allen announced that Buzz is resigning from the Board. The vacancy has been advertised by Lloyd. Buzz will attend the October meeting.

- The Board scheduled the next Planning Board meeting on October 24th due to Halloween.

- The Board approved the minutes of the previous meeting.

2nd Order of Business:

- Charles Cromwell was present regarding the proposed 9 lot Sanders North Subdivision. He is attempting to obtain an easement abolishment from Verizon. He is also in the process of researching the following water supply options for the proposed development:

a) He has contacted Harry C. Crooker & Sons, Inc. to obtain an estimate for providing public water to the proposed subdivision.

b) He has contacted Jacques Whitford Company about obtaining a hydro geological study. He received back a 5 page proposal of various studies that can be performed ranging in price from $12,000 to $40,000.

c) He's inquiring about the possibility of installing drilled wells and performing water quality tests on each one.

d) He's also considering testing all the existing wells located on the road for water quality.

- Buzz and Gregg voiced that they would prefer to see public water provided. Allen is not only concerned with water quality, but also that there will be a sufficient amount of water for all of the proposed lots.

- Bill mentioned that perhaps Mr. Cromwell should find out how the vehicles at Geroux's Auto Graveyard were prepared for storage (were all fluids removed, etc.).

- Clark commented that public water supply would be a good back up if drilled wells went poor in the future.

- Mr. Cromwell will keep researching his options and return to the October meeting.

3rd Order of Business:

- Ken Desmond mentioned that he is reviewing a home occupation application for a daycare. He also said he had been contacted by Atlantic Mechanical regarding the possibility of an expansion in the Woolwich Industrial Park.

Meeting adjourned.
