She passed out pictures and reminded the Board that she was here last fall for the widening of her driveway entrance in order to make it easy for the trucks that deliver the Christmas trees to enter her property. She would like to do the same type of widening of the stonewall entrance across the street that now has an aluminum fence. Her great grandfathers built the walls which run along Elm Street. She would like to widen the opening to make it easier to get the farm equipment in and replace the aluminum fence with a wooden fence. She showed the Board pictures showing how the first wall came out and how natural it looks, like it was never worked on. They will be using the same company to repair and replace this wall, and she highly recommends this company.

Motion Approved 5-0. Next Item on the Agenda (2) LOT 10 through LOT 14 (Stillwater Estates) (ANR PLAN) (Paul Brodmerlde, Site Design; Arthur Borden, Engineer) Mr. Brodmerlde explained they came before the Planning Board a few months ago for a minor modification and relocation of Road "B" to move and lift the road in order to have less excavation than necessary. When this was done, the lot lines changed the fronts of Lots 10- 14. He is requesting that since the lots changed, the applicant needs to record an ANR plan to show the revised lots. This can be done by right and it is a formality to have the Board signed the ANR Plan. A motion was by Chairman Scully and seconded by Mr. Panico to Approve and sign the ANR Plan for Lots 10-14 (Stillwater Estates). Motion to Approve 5-0. Chairman Scully stated that they will sign the plans tonight and Mr. Brodmerlde can pick them up tomorrow, after copies are made.

He explained that the proposed addition will be located on the east end of the existing clubhouse near the entrance on Greenlodge Street. It will include a new accessible entrance with a covered drop off area, a bar, lounge, and future pro shop on the lower level. The clubhouse is on a slope with a walk -out lower level.

This is an 8o -acre site used primarily for a nine -hole golf course; social center; and restaurant solely for its members and guests. The club is only used for members and no public functions are held at this site. 2
