The Chairman opened the public hearing. Bill Campalino developer, commended the neighbors
for attending the meetings, and for pointing out the existing traffic concerns. Mr. Campalino said that based on the County DOT this project would have little impact on traffic, therefore
they do not require a traffic study. Mr. Campalino talked about the drainage concern; he said that if this project goes forward the existing drainage problems will be addressed. Mr. Campalino presented two photos of the National Grid facility next to the property, he said it is very noisy, and not something you would want your house built next to.
The Chairman said the main concern is the traffic and car accidents as well as the difficulty of getting out of driveways and side streets on to Buckley Road.
Mr. Campalino said that in the past two years there were only two reported accidents. The County DOT said at peak times there would be approximately 100 more cars.
He said that if the Planning Board would rather the applicant build town houses, which would be fine.
