S.

Sewer, water and State Permits will need to be obtained, but the Board agreed that a public hearing was not required.  They did advise the Zoning Administrator to limit the number of clients when and if he issues a Permit for the business.

DRB Roll Call: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Rainville, C. Streets, J. Beers

Public Present: S. Taylor, Z.A.; P. Palmer, P. Superneault, E. Cormier, D. Cacka

 

7:15 PM             J. Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. P. Superneault made the presentation.  She hopes to subdivide off lot two for a three bedroom house, with an easement from lot one to lot two. B, Murphy asked about utilities.  They are  underground to the existing house, but probably will be above ground to the new home.  B. Murphy expressed concerned about the 200 foot frontage requirement and the very irregularly shaped lot. The Board reviewed the Bylaw sections referencing irregular shaped lots and frontage.  Article VI, Section 604E, of the Fairfax Subdivision Regulations does allow the Board to grant an exception regarding lot layout.    An area for trash pick-up was discussed. There was no input from the public.  The project was classified as a minor subdivision.  A site visit was scheduled on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2008 at 1PM.   C. Rainville made a motion to accept the Sketch Plan with the action items identified.  B. Murphy second.   All in favor.

ROBERT AND SUSAN STRANG – REVISION AND CORRECTION TO FINAL PLAT

DRB Roll Call: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, C. Rainville, C. Streets, J. Beers

Public Present: S. Taylor, Z.A.; S. Woodworth; R. Ross; J. Rogers; S. Strang; A. Morse; R. Strang;

                           C.D. Hill

 

7:30 PM             J. Heyer called the hearing to order. The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. C. D. Hill, Attorney made the presentation.  Surveyors made errors on the survey that was recorded in the Town Land Records on November 29, 2001.  Cleaning up the errors will benefit all parties involved so there will be no title issues. The three errors that were noted include:

            1)  Distance along Fletcher Road was denoted a 491 feet instead of 419 feet.  This threw off several

                 other measurements.

            2)  As a result, the boundary between lot 1& lot 2 is shown in the wrong location.  It should have been

                 located in the middle of the driveway shared by these two lots.  Correction of this boundary line

                 alters the acreage for lots 1 and 2 slightly.

            3)  The acreage for lot 4 was noted as 4.0 acres, instead of the correct 2.0 acres.

 

There was discussion on how the errors were discovered.  State Permits have the correct information.  R. Ross

(lot 3) said it was hard for his Attorney to understand why the dimension of his property line has changed. It appears to be a transcription error.  J. Heyer stated the Board wants the neighbors to be in agreement with the changes. S. Woodworth asked about the back line of her property.  The line itself has not changed, but the math on the Plat has changed.  Attorney Hill said new Boundary Line Agreements will be drawn up for all parties involved.  C. Streets made a motion to close the hearing to public input and move to deliberative. B. Murphy second.  All in favor.

 

ITEMS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE NEW MYLAR WILL BE SIGNED BY DRB:

            1)  Signed Agreement from all four neighbors.

            2)  Adjacent land owners names to be shown on the Mylar.

                       

EXHIBITS RECEIVED:

            1.  Site Plan from Schreib Engineering.

            2.  Letters from three of the neighbors acknowledging and approving the survey correction:

                a) Cynthia and Edward Williamson b) Jeff and Allison Rogers c) Sharron Woodworth.
