He reminded everyone that they asked about signs on the back of the building. Mr. Paradis stated that it might be advisable for them to wait as we must address this issue. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS/MERGERS, SITE PLAN FORMS: Mergers: The Merger form was found to be fine as presented. Lot Line Adjustments: Page 1, Frontage, replace “ such frontage” with “required frontage”. A discussion was held as to the statement “will not create buildable lots”. For clarification, Mr. Paradis stated that the Board should look at RSA676:4. Page 2 & 3 = okay. Page 4, Abutter list, in the opening paragraph, along with applicant, agent, etc., surveyors, engineers, or other professionals used as well as an original surveyor of a previous plan that is used for the present purpose. Site Plans: Page 1, it was determined that applicants should talk with Ms. Bonsteel about a Preliminary Conceptual Consultation (PCC) but need to see the Planning Board secretary to set the schedule. Under step 2, 2nd check, insert “written” before “statement”. Page 2, the Board reviewed the sample plan to accompany the packet. The secretary mentioned that she has to throw out a lot of the preliminary plans and suggested that the application be accompanied by 1 preliminary plan (to show interested abutters) and 15 reduced scaled (11” x 17”) copies (10 for the maximum allowed Planning Board members, 1 each for Ms. Bonsteel, the Fire, Water, Highway, and Police Depts.). The applicant would then bring
-3- Site Plans continued: Minor Site Plans: Again, PCC’s to be handled as in Site Plans. In all cases, “Minor” should be added to “Site Plans”. Step 2, 2nd check, insert “written” as sited previously. On page 2 of the Site Plan Process Cover Memo, Ms. DeStefano asked that the Board look over what she has placed in the gray block and get back to her on these. The same configuration of submitted plans as in Site plans will be continued for consistency. Checklist = #6, change to 15 reduced copies and remove #14 & 15. Reconfigure the numbering. Minor Site Plan Application, eliminate “Property Address”. On page 2, last paragraph, change “an/or” to “and/or” (this to be done on the Site Plan Application as well). Abutter’s list to be consistent with that previously mentioned. All abutter’s list sheets will now have a sign-off area by the Town Assessing office. OTHER FORMS: Ms. DeStefano asked if we have other forms besides subdivisions to be revised. Mr. Paradis mentioned Excavations and maybe Cell Towers. Ms. DeStefano shall make the changes suggested this evening and will have the new revisions for our next Workshop meeting. COMMUNICATIONS: A copy of the registered plan for Linda S. Kohn was received. The secretary also had a copy of a survey that was done for Slim Baker Lodge for the Board to look at. REPORTS: SELECTMEN: Mr. Dion was absent and had not submitted anything. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN: Mr. Campbell stated that they visited the Fire Dept. and that they must reschedule their visit to the Police Dept.. NEW BUSINESS: Ms. DellaCroce asked the Board to read Article IV, 4.4 in the ordinance (building heights). This brought on a discussion as to what is meant when exempt for agricultural purposes. Mr. Paradis felt that this would apply to silos, hay lofts, etc. Ms. Bonsteel felt that the exemption would be canceled when an apartment is added as this becomes residential and some thought that this would be so if the apartment is not over the 35’ height. It was determined that this should also be clarified when we make ordinance changes in the fall. -4- NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be June 9, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. On the agenda is the continued Site Plan for It’s All Relative LLC, continued Site Plan for John Messina, continued Site Plan for Mildred Rent, and Site Plan for Paul & Tami Zareas. With no other business before the Board, D. DeStefano made a motion, second by M. Campbell to adjourn at 9:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, |
