The November 5, 2011 meeting of the Building Committee was opened at 9:02 AM. In attendance were Chairperson/Secretary Sandi Boyer, Member Mike Difrancesco, new member Al Kenny, Building Compliance Officer Fran Raimo, and Board Representative Al Cucciniello.

 

The October minutes were approved.  We welcome our new member, Al Kenny.

Old Business  There was discussion concerning the proposed regulation regarding the ‘Letter of Continuing Compliance’, which is still under review by the Board.  Al C. reported that the Board is considering all the legalities involved, such as when WLE’s BCO could enter a house to make an inspection. 

Storm water run-off was discussed: the committee believes there needs to be some expert engineering input, especially with new construction which recontours existing conditions.  It was suggested that a local engineer who specializes in storm water management be consulted as to his price for a review of a site plan with a statement of either ok as is, or will need more to avert problems.  Then the property owner could be required to deal with any problems before they occur.  Any additional cost for this service would be added to the building permit.  The committee believes that something should be done to plan for storm water management with new construction and additions.

The appliances stored in front of a house on Mohican have been removed.

New Business    The colors for metal roofs need to be in compliance with the colors for shingle roofs.

Since our last meeting in October there have been no new house permits (Number stands at 1350).  Also there were 31 non-fee permits, and 16 tree removal permits.

 

Next meeting is April 7, 2012 at 9 AM.  Meeting adjourned at 10:10 AM.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Sandi Boyer, Secretary/Chairperson
