The Fall River Planning Board convened on January 22nd, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. The meeting began with an open meeting law statement. The board first addressed an application for endorsement of a plan not requiring approval of a Form A plan (file number 19-1426) for property owned by Georgiana Monas and applied for by Jacob Game at 0 Tuffets Street, Assessor's Lot 6-15. Planning Board Director William Roth recommended denial, stating the proposed plan lacked frontage to a way road, failing to meet state law requirements. The board subsequently moved to deny the application, and the motion passed. Next, the board considered a request for a covenant release for a subdivision at Driftwood Street and Highland Avenue (file number 16-0208), seeking to replace a GS1A performance covenant with a letter of credit for surety. Director Roth recommended approval, noting that planning and engineering had revised the project's status and cost estimate, adding a 20% contingency to ensure sufficient funds. The board moved to approve the covenant release and accept the letter of credit, and this motion also passed. The meeting concluded with a public input session, which saw no participants, and the unanimous approval of the minutes from the December 17, 2018 meeting.
