Old Business:
A. Continued hearing for subdivision application PO6-SO1, located on Hermit Woods Road, map 8 lot 86 to create one new building lot, in the Agricultural and Recreational Zones, Chieko Vilas owner.
Bryan Bailey gave a brief presentation. He explains that the applicant got a variance from the ZBA for the minimum frontage requirement. The ZBA also denied Mr. Westergrens (abutter) request for a rehearing.
Dick Gardner makes a motion to grant subdivision approval for application PO6-SO1, from map 8 lot 86 identified on the plan entitled "Subdivision Plan Land on Hermit Woods Road, Sanbornton, NH" designed by Bryan Bailey Associates, with the waiver request not to survey the entire parent lot. Carmine Cioffi seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
B. Subdivision application PO4-SO7 to create 17 new residential lots from both Map/lot 15/64-1 and 15/64-2 located on Route 127 aka New Hampton Road, John and Donna Thompson and Christine and Pet0er Thompson owners, in the General Residential zone.
Don Bormes, Acting Chairman, excuses himself and Dick Gardner is appointed Acting Chairman.
Dave Merkwan, DMC Surveyors, presents the board with a new yield plan showing a decrease in lot count to 15 and not the original 17. Attorney William Philpot says that this plan has reduced the density with minimum wetlands impact. The new plan presented by Dave Merkwan, was never received by the Town Planner. The board had not seen this new plan prior to tonight’s meeting. Dick Gardner opens the meeting to the public at 7:40 PM. Katie Surowiec states that there is no way that this would fly. To get the proper road grade of 8%, the road would have to be cut 100' to 200’ which would also alter all the wetlands. Roger Roy, MJS Engineering states that the plan meets the maximum slope requirements on the grade of the road. Stuart Dement feels that this new map shows no significant changes from the map shown on
November 15, 2005. Stephan Surowiec says that as of 3:00 PM on 2/21/2006 this new plan was not in the Town Office. He also states that the rd. for Conventional subdivision would not be approved by Environmental services and that two driveway cuts on a State Road would not be approved by DOT. Peter Thompson asks if the planning board has a written policy on guidelines as to how far in advance of a meeting a plan has to be submitted. Dick Gardner answers that there is nothing in writing, but that the general rule has been 10 days. The board is also concerned that the new map does not show curb cuts or road designs. Attorney Philpot states that the applicant is not going to show any more on the map until the plan is accepted. Attorney Philpot calls the question. The public hearing closes at 8:00 PM. Dick Gardner suggests that he would like to take this plan under advisement. Attorney Philpot states that the applicant is calling the question on the density plan. Carmine Cioffi
makes a motion to deny acceptance of the standard subdivision yield plan to do further study as the board was just presented with the new plans after the start of tonight’s meeting and there are only three members present tonight. He would like more members input. Dick Gardner seconds the motion. Vote: 2 for and 1 against. Motion passed. Mr. Philpot requests a continuance to time/date certain. The board continues to March 7 - 7:00 PM Workshop Meeting. Dick Gardner steps down as Chair. Don Bormes steps in as Chair.
C. Subdivision application PO4-SO6 to create 9 new residential lots from map 8 lot 17 located on Mountain Road and owned by Morrison Reality, LLC. in the Agricultural and Forest Conservation zones. Conditional PB approval given in 2004 needs to be modified.
Mr. Morrison presents to the board some of the changes and improvements that he has worked with NHDES Wetlands Bureau and NHDES Site Specific Bureau on. With these changes Mr. Morrison is asking the board for a waiver on lot 3 road frontage requirement, which is short due to the deeding of conservation land. Cindy Merchant asks if the remainder of the Class VI Rd. will go onto the warrant article to be voted on as a town maintained rd. Mr. Morrison states that only lots 1 and 2 can be sold as they are the only two on a Class V Rd. The remainder of the lots can not be sold until the rd. is upgraded. Carmine Cioffi makes a motion to accept the waiver and the modified plan for subdivision application PO4-SO6, Morrison Realty, LLC., owner. Andrew Livernois seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion
passed.
New Business:
A. Subdivision application PO6-SO2 to merge 3 lots and resubdivide to create 4 new residential lots from map 3 lots 1-4, 1-5, & 1-6 located on NH Route 132 across from Drake Road and owned by John Suldenski, in the Agricultural and Recreation zones.
Andrew Livernois makes a motion to accept application PO6-SO2 as complete. Dick Gardner seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
Colin Brown, Central Land Surveying gives a brief presentation. In August 2005 these parcels were part of a 7 lot subdivision of which 3 lots were sold to an abutting land owner and the remaining 4 lots were sold to Mr. Suldenski. At this point he wishes to merge 3 of these lots and resubdivide to create 4 lots. Bill Litchfield inquires whether the new lot will have the same deed restrictions that were placed on the old lots. Mr. Suldenski explains that nothing will change. The deed restrictions will be the same. Carmine Cioffi makes a motion to accept subdivision application PO6-SO2, John Suldenski, owner.
