The Board decided to go on to new business first.
New Business:
Bill Cutillo: The board to consider a proposal to rezone the Steele Hill portion of town to a resort zone.
Mr. Cutillo gives a presentation to the board on Steele Hills property and family history. In this presentation he states that the resort has in excess of 500 acres, of which approximately 360 acres are presently in some form of conservation and approximately 155 acres are available for future development. It is also stated that Steele Hill has been an on going resort operation since it opened in 1941. In order for this resort operation to expand Mr. Cutillo would like to see a proper zoning description as future development will be that of a related vacation type usage as described in the proposed zoning- hotel, timeshare, condohotel, age restricted housing etc.(no kids in the school system). He also feels that future development to the resort will not add a burden to town services as they provide their own water, sewer
systems, maintain their own roads, operate their own fire sprinkler system and is willing to help with the possible needed fire station expansion. Steele Hill will want to shift some conservation area for this development, but will not reduce the amount of conservation area. The resort would like to create a multi-use community within the community, which will contribute to the tax base and not require excess burden on town services. Mr. Cutillo is asking that the Planning Board recommend the zoning change and ask the Selectmen to write the warrant for Town Meeting.
Don Bormes- had some questions about some of the proposed permitted uses and how they would fit into the resort zoning plan.
His questions were followed by some board discussion. The board would like more background information on the proposed zoning change. They decide to have more discussion at future workshop meeting.
Peter Thompson (public)- feels that the town needs development like this. He feels that the town needs to diversify and is property rich and cash poor.
Old Business:
Subdivision Application PO5-SO3, 401 Pound Rd., Yvonne Del Pozzo owner continued.
Bryan Bailey- representing Mr. Del Pozzo, returns with a new subdivision map showing 2 lots instead of 3. The map also shows a road slope, construction, maintenance easement in perpetuity to the town, as the planning board requested. The new map shows 2 lots, Map 21 Lot 18 with 1.53 acres and Map 21 Lot 18-01 with 3.53 acres (showing no further subdivision of this property).
Don Bormes makes a motion to appoint Dick Gardner Chairman for the evening. Jim Wells seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
