Murphy was concerned about taking advantage of PUD rules.  M. Varney wished to know the size of the lots. The board agreed that this would be a revision hearing.   S. Taylor, ZA to tell Dragonfly Valley owners they can come back for a revision of the project.

Members Present: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, J. Beers, C. Rainville, M. Varney

Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA; Gary Mills

 

7:15 PM    Introductions were made, the Public Notice was read, and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. Gary Mills, made the presentation. 

 

B. Murphy asked G. Mills if he was alright with C. Rainville and M. Varney sitting on the board for the remaining portion of his project.  He was in agreement.  The road name that had previously been rejected, Alden Road, had been since okayed by town.  S. Taylor also showed copies of the warranty, prospective deed, declaration, and bylaws to the board, and entered them into the file.  B. Murphy questioned Gary about the building restriction on his property and whether it had been lifted.  The League of Cities and Towns had been consulted and it had been cleared.  B. Murphy wanted any mention of it on comment #8 on the project map removed.  S. Taylor, ZA suggested that a note be placed on the mylar referencing the documentation that proves the removal of the building restriction.  B. Murphy questioned where the worksheet of density count was.  The density sheet was shared and all lots came out different than just 2+ acres but all did end up above the required 2 acre amount.  Discussion surrounding town standards for A76 roads ensued.  S. Taylor shared that the State provides needed guidelines.  Questions continued as to what materials the shoulder portion could be constructed from.  S. Taylor received the State wastewater plan and permit. It was accepted and filed with the town.  G. Mills explained the phone and electric lines and poles on the road area of his project had been corrected.  There were no public comments.

 

 

 

B. Murphy made a motion to close the hearing to public input and move to deliberative. J. Beers second.  All in favor.

FLANDERS – SKETCH PLAN REVIEW

50 FLANDERS ROAD

               

Members Present: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, J. Beers, C. Rainville, M. Varney

Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA; K. Boutin; J. Thompson; Dorothy Heartson; Roy Heartson;  Vinnie Jiwatram;  William Bowman

 

8:00 PM    The public notice was read and attendees signed in. Interested parties were sworn in. Dorothy Heartson  made the presentation. 

 

D. Heartson explained that Ernie Jr., a relative, would like to build on the family land.  The project shows Lot A for Ernie Jr., Lot B for D. Heartson, and the remaining, Lot C, for her parents.  The ages of the current home and converted camp were discussed.  It is wondered if a permit for the camp portion was ever obtained.    An investigation by the applicants and the Town is underway, concerning how far the town maintains the Town owned portion of Flanders road.  It needs to be confirmed that Lot A would have 200 feet of road frontage, regardless if it is on the Town road or private ROW.  B. Murphy wanted the applicants to know the road that Lot A has frontage on needs to be built to A76 standards. The need for a survey of the land was disused by all.  There is an area of Lot C that is in question as to correct ownership.  The arrow shaped portion of Lot C may be owned by the power company but no solid evidence as to ownership was provided.  J. Beers discussed the need for accurate density calculations to be done.

 

Discussion was opened to the public.  W. Bowman wondered if this project should be a PUD.  W. Bowman also wondered if statues of limitations came into play in this situation, considering the age of the structures. 

R. Heartson stated that it was of no benefit to the applicants to have 2 acres, or any at all.  It was shared that the family would much rather not have to subdivide if it was within the law to continue the family arrangement that they currently have, only subdividing off the new lot for the new home for Ernie Jr.  V. Jiwatram left early with the comment that he was there only for moral support for the applicants.

 

Applicants questioned the DRB and S. Taylor as to recommended engineers.  The DRB and S. Taylor said it was not up to them to recommend but that the applicant should get one, then a surveyor.  The applicant also shared that no other siblings are interested in building in the near future.

 

This project raised some issues that S. Taylor will look into;  whether the applicant has to subdivide Lot B and C, or if they can only subdivide Lot A off from the family plot.  The DRB looked through their bylaws too and concluded that this was an issue for S. Taylor to look into further.

 

Discussion continued about road frontage and if the existence of an old Class 4 road, Ledge Road, would have an impact on road frontage for Lot A.  S. Taylor wondered if only Lot A needs to be divided off, without subdividing the remaining land, whether he would  be able to conduct an Administrative Review.  It was recommended to the applicants to contact Don Pigeon to review the road length and towns responsibilities in relation to Flanders Road.

 

J. Beers made a motion to recess the Flanders project to April 7, 2010 at 7:00pm, B. Murphy seconded.  All in favor.  S. Taylor to call applicants with news from his findings.
