Request for Approval - Proposed new layout of Wayside Lane — Fred Geisel, PE, Civil Environmental 
Consultants LLC 
Mr. Friel made the Board aware that this request is to amend the layout of a street to provide access to 
a new development. This amendment to the layout has not been approved by the Planning Board and 
the BOS office received a letter from the Planning Board asking that the BOS not take action until the 
Planning Board has had a chance to review the new layout. 
The developer, Pat Considine, and Fred Geisel, PE, Civil Environmental Consultants LLC showed the plan 
to the Board and explained the layout. They explained that this amendment to the layout had been 
approved by the DPW Superintendent and the Town Engineer but varied from what had been presented 
to the Planning Board originally. Mr. Considine was asking for a decision to be made as he had waited a 
long time for approval of this development and wanted to get the project under way. 
The Board discussed the matter. They were generally in support of the DPW Superintendent and Town 
Engineer's decision, but did not want to ignore the Planning Board's request to review the layout. They 
discussed holding a special meeting so that the developer would not have to wait much longer to begin 
his project. 
Motion was made to hold a special meeting on December 6, 2013 at 4:15 p.m. to vote upon the new 
layout of Wayside Lane, after the Planning Board has had a chance to review the plan and make 
comment on it known to the BOS.
