The Plainfield Planning Board found no violations of Marsh Excavation's approved permit during a site visit at 105 Cutler Road. Travis and Avery installed wood for the Cutler Road bridge wearing course, and magnesium chloride was applied for dust control. Avery Marsh will submit trucking logs to the town office. Betsy and Patrick Duany expressed concerns regarding traffic levels and road width near the gravel pit. Board members noted that if the Marsh on-site business adds employees, a Zoning Board review would establish operational parameters. Regarding the subdivision at 14 Route 120, LLC, Donnie Goodwin withdrew the project on Zoning Administrator Halleran's recommendation. The project will return for board review once compliance with NHDES and the NH Division of Forests and Lands regulations regarding wetland concerns is confirmed. The next meeting is scheduled for October 5. Source: https://www.plainfieldnh.org/docview.aspx?doctype=minuteDoc&docid=13365
