Board grants extension for Apple Road completion until July 31 after applicant reports exterior work remains

The planning board granted an extension to Bill Chamberlain for completion of outdoor work at Map 37, Lot 1 on Apple Road, setting a new deadline of July 31 and asking for photographic proof of required stabilizing vegetation before that date.

Chamberlain told the board he has completed framing and other interior work but still needs to finish outdoor items — decking, a location for a backup generator and, most critically, the well and ground stabilization — and said, "I don't think I can finish it before winter," then that he was "looking at the spring" to finish full restoration. Board members discussed realistic planting windows and agreed an end‑of‑July deadline for revegetation photos struck a balance between seasonality and oversight; the motion to extend the completion date passed.
