Mr. Carter commented that State roads would also need to be upgraded to handle the traffic impact.

The board discusses the following proposed motion;
Pursuant to Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance Section 4 (T)(3)(C)(1), the Planning Board requires the applicants for the Thompson "open space" subdivision to provide the Board with a "yield plan" with sufficient pertinent information, including but not limited to topographic lines, wetlands designations and steep slopes, showing a subdivision that would comply with the general requirements of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. The Board requires that the "yield plan" address the Boards major concerns of length and "buildability" of the proposed dead-end private road in light of wetlands and slopes greater than 15% frontage per "yield plan" lot, and each such lot having 1.5 acres of land for septic, protective well radius and buildable area. Once the Board has reviewed
this "yield plan" for adequacy and compliance with these elements, the Board will determine the number of possible lots allowed under the open space design standards of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance.
