PLANNING COMMISSION
1. Regular meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at 7:35 P.~{.
on April 28, 1981. Those Commissioners in attendance were: Mr. Rosso, b{r. Stiano,
Mr. Baccaro, Mr. Dobson and Alternate Mr. Paskuszak sitting in for Mr. Piskorski.
Also in attendance 5~organ Seelye, Town Engineer.
2. Agenda Item #1. Sketch Layout - Longview Acres, Phase II, Bruce Barlow,
developer. Mr. Rod Hewitt, engineer, presented map entitled: "Map Showing Property
of Albert O. & Esther L. Nilsson to be conveyed to Carol Ann Barlow, Trustee" Hewitt
Engineering, P.C., Berlin, Conn. Dated October 1, 1980, Scale 1"= 80'. Mr. Hewitt
explained they would like to change the layout from the originally approved layout.
The Nilsson lot lines were along the back but Mr. Barlow plans to include the excess
land as additional lot size; they propose to eliminate the first cul de sac and to
eliminate the sloping. Mr. Seelye said underground utilities, sidewalks, etc. will
be required and they must provide safeguards against erosion and siltation. Mr.
Stiano said we had grades of over 9% and we should stick with this. Mr. Hewitt said
the elimination of the cul de sac should help that.
3. Agenda Item #2. Discussion- Pine Tree COurt- Gary Gallo. Mr. Gallo of 13 Pine
Tree Court, presented a petition from 100% of the residents of Pine Tree Court, that
the Planning Commission call the "Performance Bond" of Pine Tree Builders, Inc.
They state that due to the incomplete road (curbing), the road has not been accepted
by the Town. Because of this, they are compelled to pick up their mail at the Post
Office. This unfinished curbing has threatened their landscaping which has resulted
in heavy ground erosion, and heavy financial expenditure. Mr. Gallo advised the
PLANNING COMMISSION cont. April 28, 1981
Commission that he has reviewed the minutes of the Planning Commission meetings
of June 24, 1980, August 19, 1980, September 23, 1980, October 28, 1980, November
13, 1980 and March 10, 1981. He feels Mr. Oliviero violated the Building Code
because of broken bench markers. Mr. Oliviero dug up two and Mr. Gallo feels
there is one more broken one. He did not see all the bench markers put in the
ground. They are 4x4 slabs of concrete 42" into the ground and if one of these
monuments heaves, it could break a lawn mower. Mr. Gallo requests that Mr.
Oliviero pull them all out to be inspected. He also mentioned that Mr. Oliviero
created a four foot hole when he pulled out the bench marker. Mr. Gallo said
all the residents of the street feel this type of work should be stopped and
Mr. Oliviero's bond called. He added, because the curbing is not in place of
the Farmington Avenue side, the landscaping on Warren's property is being eroded.
Mr. Seelye said he met with Mr. Oliviero and members of the State in April to
get his schedule of completion and he indicated he would have all his work done
by April. He has done some minor work but there has not been activity on the
State highway which is a substantial part-- about 1,000 feet of curbing. As of
last week there hadn't been any activity to Mr. Seelye's satisfaction. He sent
Mr. Oliviero another letter stating all work must be done by April 30, 1981.
Mr. Seelye advised that the $11,000 bond is more than sufficient to do the work
that is necessary. Mr. Raymond Warren of 6 Pine Tree Court said we cannot get
mail at the house because there is no curbing. He (Mr. Oliviero) promised
he would get it done by a certain date so he should do so. Mr. Gallo reported
that when they flushed out the fire hydrant it washed out all the work that had
been done. Motion was made by Mr. Baccaro, seconded by Mr. Pastuszak to call
the bond in as of May 1, 1981. During discussion that followed, it was pointed
out Mr. Oliviero cannot complain about the weather. Members did not wish to
make any conditions to the motion; however, Mr. Seelye pointed out if Mr. Ollviero
has Horbal Bros. in on May 1 and we call the bond, it would make a mess; however,
if there is no activity on his part then action could be taken; the process of
calling the bond is a long procedure. Mr. Gallo said Mr. Oliviero was told it
would be November, 1980; he is just putting on a display and going through the
motions which is just delaying the matter. Mr. Seelye said he is not trying to
defend Mr. Oliviero. Messrs. Baccaro and Pastuszak withdrew their motion.
Motion was then made by Mr. Baccaro, seconded by Mr. Dobson that if the work is
not started by May 1, 1981 we will call the bond at the next Planning Commission
meeting. During discussion of the motion Mr. Stiano suggested if work is started
by May 1 but not completed it will be brought to a vote at the next meeting. It
is favorable that work should be completed by the next Planning Commission
meeting. Mr. Dobson reminded the Commission that if we call the bond it may be
some time before the work is completed. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Seelye said he
would call Mr. Oliviero as well as send him a letter. Mr. Gallo asked if Mr.
Oliviero would be required to take all the bench markers out. Mr. Seelye said the
ones that were damaged would be replaced. Mr. Stiano suggested that on a general
inspection, Mr. Seelye could pull one of the monuments. Mr. Rosso agreed we should
take a look at it.
4. Agenda Item #3. Other Commission Business. 1) A contingent of Blue Ridge
Heights residents were present with the request that the Commission accept a
petition they wish to present. During the discussion that followed, it was agreed
that it would require a vote by the Commission to accept anything they may want to
present. Mr. Ralph Andreachio of 54 Spicewood Lane stated he has 100% of the people
in the Spicewood Lane and Brooke Meadow Road area that are opposed to the sidewalks.
He asked if the Commission would put them on the agenda to be heard. Mr. Baccaro
said he would rather not discuss it as the Commission already made a decision on
this. Mr. Andreachio said all he asks is that the Commission read the petition
without discussion; just acknowledge receipt of the petition. Motion was made by
Mr. Baccaro, seconded by Mr. Dobson to acknowledge receipt of the petition from
the residents of Brooke Meadow Road and Spicewood Lane. MOTION CARRIED. The
petition, signed by all residents in the subdivision, reads: "We,the following
residents of the back section of Blue Ridge Section of Kensington, do hereby request
a change of ordinace requiring that sidewalks be put in our neighborhood. This
list represents 100% of our neighborhood, and we feel that this entitles us to
a hearing on this matter." Atty. Charles Williams of 305 Brooke Meadow Road
asked to place a letter along with the petition; there is one factor that was not
brought up last time. Mr. Stiano objected. Motion was made by Mr. Stiano,
seconded by Mr. Baccaro to abide by previous decisions on this subdivision as put
before and voted upon by this Commission that we require sidewalks. Discussion-
Mr. Stiano said the motion had nothing to do with the request to change the ord-
inance which may never be, so he would recommend that the Commission go along
with it. MOTION CARRIED
Mr. Piskorski arrived at this time (8:20). Mr. Seelye recommended that
Corporation COunsel be informed and asked what action, if any, must be taken.
Motion by Mr. Baccaro, seconded by Mr. Dobson to refer the petition to Attorney
Harry Jackaway.
PLANNING COMMISSION cont. APRIL 28, 1981
2. Mr. Seelye presented map entitled: "Brickyard Road Connector Sewer for
Town of Berlin Water Control Commission Berlin, Connecticut, Hewitt Engineering, P.C.,
dated March 27, 1981, Scale: as shown". He advised this is a sanitary sewer
proposed by the Town for the interceptor on the old railroad right of way near
the Kensington Fire District pump station. This will provide an outlet for Tuffak.
The money has been previously funded by the Town on the interceptor program.
Motion by Mr. Stiano, seconded by Mr. Baocaro to approve the proposed plans for
the Brickyard Road Connector Sewer. MOTION CARRIED
3. The Commission discussed the condition of the gravel bank on Norton Road
and asked that Mr. Emil Carlson, Zoning Insepctor, look into this. Also, on
another zoning matter, the "mess" near the corner of Farmington Avenue and
Worthington Ridge, just below the Post Office, should be checked out.
4. Mr. Baccaro read a letter to Mr. Leonard Abrahamson dated April 23, 1981
concerning the installation of sidewalks in the Blue Ridge Heights subdivision.
5. Mr. Seelye reported we have received a letter of credit from Earl H. Wicklund,
Inc., for the excavation of gravel from the Dunham Drive subdivision. Motion
by Mr. Stiano, seconded by Mr. Baccaro to refer the letter of credit to Atty.
Jackaway for his approval and that Mr. Seelye report back to the Commission at
the next meeting. MOTION CARRIED
6. Letter received and read from Atty. Dennis L. Kern requesting a meeting
with this Commission to obtain recommendations as the Drainage COmmittee prepares
a final set of regulations for the Executive Board.
7. Letter received from Atty. Kern, dated April 21, 1981, concerning the zone
change request regarding Kristopik Acres and requesting that he be notified
when this matter will be heard by out Commission.
8. Mr. Rosco requested the members read the proposed changes in the zoning
regulations and be prepared at the next meeting to point out anything that should'
come to our attention.
9. Mr. Rosco announced, with regret, that this is Mr. Piskorski's last meeting.
Mr. Paskuszak has agreed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Rosco said we appreciated Mr.
Piskorski's work and that we will miss his legal advice. Everyone concurred.

propose a two story addition to the office area which will be of brick construction.
The manufacturing addition will be of c{nderblock to match the existing building.
Mr. Kirejczyk said they plan to conform to the recommendations from Design Review
Committee. They suggested the planting of two tall hemlocks against the two-story
panels at the front. Mr. Seelye recommended relocate the catch basin to where
the existing pavement ends and take it directly out to the street. It may mean about
a foot of fill and putting curbing along the front parking lot. Mr. Kirejczyk said
dumpsters will most likely be placed alongside the dock. Mr. Seelye pointed out
the Town has required that they be screened. MOTION by Mr. Stiano, seconded by Mr.

screening of dumpster 2. relocate the catch basin 3. plantings as pointed out by

NEW BUSINESS - BUDGETS 1981/82
Board of Educat'on
Mrs. Delaney suggested that we consider Increasing the allotment to the Board
of Education by $45,000 along with the $40,000 requested for Blue Cross-Blue
Sh~e~d insurance as this is a fixed amount that must be considered, She stated
that in any budget of this size there are items that could Re decreased and it
is possible to arrive at a lower request.
Chairman Bernardl stated that the one thing that would sway him one blt is the
statement made By Mrs. Boscolo: the element of time to make the decision.
Mrs. Delaney stated that to me that is the important thing but it doesnt
determine the amount. She stated that she still does not Know if $125,000
is right; perhaps It should be less.
Mb. M~)/er stated that he feels that we discussed thls here at great length and
>ard of Finance
;eting of April 28, 1981
he believes that we arrived at a reasonable and equitable budget. The Board of
Efucation is going to do what they want to do regardless of what we do.
Mr. MacKenzie stated that he feels that the Board of Education really needs
m, re time to close a school. It-is' unfortunate that the Boa rd of Education
d n t look atth~s problem before and t IS difflcu t for h m to e~press his
r~ial point of view. He stated that as he has looked at the Berlin ~chool system
ht is very pleased about a ot of things but when he notes that the~school,
er rollment has been drOppi!ng over the years he does not understand why they have
n(t looked at thls problem before now. He stated that you need time to close a
slhool but quality education is not equated with dollars and cents. He stated
tier when I see the Board of Education budget rising at a rate of $600,000 and
I realize that we have already given you $500,000 over and above last year, I
h~ve to say that I think that is reasonable. I will feel very, very sorry If
yc chose to close a school.
Dr GiandomenTco expressed hls appreciation of the effort and work put into
budget with respect to this Board. However, he has costs which include:
,000 increase in transportation; he has reduced eight positions at the high
s, hoot and thereby saved $132,000; the fuel and electricity has increased by
$ 30,000 and so has special education. He has prepared a fJYe year projectJon
e,'ery year, however, the birth rate is up one year and down the next. He cited
tie unpredictability of St. Paul's and special education. He stated that you
h~ve been giving us a fair, modest budget. He stated that he does not waste
~ney in staffing; he doesn't waste any money at all. He stated that you are
st not fair with me because you don't trust me. We are honest~ straight-
f( rward, and we need what we are asking for.
'. Miller stated that you have an alternative plan; we are not forcing you to
ose a school.
MacKenzie stated that it Is not a question of trusting you. School budgets
re not scientifically designed; they are your best guess.
r. Giandomenlco stated that It ls fair to ask for reasonable class sizes --
1-22 children in K-2. The upper levels will do well with 30 youngsters, We
)ed the sma))er c)asses. Eighty percent of the budget is'number related.
~struction expenses are 9-12~. We dld everything as fair as we can. We have
[ne people that put as much time into their budget as you put into yours.
~alrman Bernardi stated that If the budget is defeated you may be looking at a
)rger cut.
'. Skorupsk) stated that the timing for closing a school may not be right but
we.are talking about one percent of the Board of Education budget.
D~. Mclntosh stated that we don't make cuts; we added $567,481
to
your
budget
this )s an increase.
D~. Giandomenico suggested using a new budget format for the Budget Hearings
next year.
Mis. Boscolo stated that they cut the superintendent's budget before we came
t( the Board of Finance. Their Board voted 6-3 to adopt this budget. The three
aEainst felt that it was too low. What we should have done was to add 7~.
Cfairman Bernardi questioned if they restored the money to the Board of Education
ard the budget went to a referendum and was defeated would they be willing to take
at gamble knowing full well that the red~ction could be $200,000.
s. Bosco)o replied yes. I would certainly like to have the townspeople say
w, would like a year. We'will be closing a school in the next year or so. We
d{ not wish to do it in haste.
S, san Sullivan requested that the taxpayers decide. She stated that you seem
ti be making the choice for us. I think we deserve the opportunity to go
ot and fight.
Tf Board of Education group then left the meeting.
irman Bernardi stated that what we do for them we do for the general town
bcdget -~ )00~ restoration. He stated that I do not want to slight anybody
ar if it'is defeated let it go that way.
Mr Ward gave his thoughts on the proposed surplus and the bonding of Norton
R~ad, Bicentennial Park, Berlin High School Roof and Pasco Hill Br dge. He
s~ggested leaving the surplus for thls year at $350,000. He stated that if
tt~e town must spend a million dollars more to finance the town it should be
r~flected in the mi]l rate.
Board of Finance
Meeting of April 28, 1981 -4-
Dr. Mclntosh suggested~th~t, we stick with our guns and go with What we have
done.
Chairman Bernardi stated that he is not saying we are right and he Is not saying
that we are wrong. What we don't want to do is turn this town upside down 'n
turmoil because of certain things we have done. We should not be concerned with
the mill race. We do not want to sllght anybody. There are approximately eight
accounts caat are requesting additional funds.
Mrs. Delaney stated that she believes that it is aecessary to do something,.
The education group will work to pass the budget.
Chairman Bernardi stated that.he would vote for it only from the point of passing
the budget on the government side. t is purely Dolitlcs.
Motion was made by Mrs. Delaney, seconded by Chairman Bernardl, to restore
a total of $120,000 to the Board of Education budget. This includes the
insurance figure of $39.302 ano is a net reduction of $45,000 off the
