Ralph Carter makes a motion to review application PO6-SO4 as a Design Review and not as a subdivision application.Don Bormes seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
Steve Cummings, consulting engineer, gives a brief presentation of what is proposed by Mr. Craig. Mr. Craig would like to create 8 new building lots on Prescott Rd. and 3 new building lots on Brook Rd. The lots would each be approximately 3 acres with 220 ft. of rd. frontage. Mr. Craig would be requesting an easement which would leave each lot with 1.5 acres of buildable land and the other 1.5 acres would be used to expand the golf course to 18 holes. Ralph Carter expresses concerns about the intersection of Prescott rd. and Brook rd. He feels that the Y intersection that is there now, should be changed to a T intersection.
Public Discussion- Nancy Tibbetts expresses concerns about the runoff on Brook rd. As it stands without new lots, the runoff drains into her front yard and washes out the corner in front of her home. Also she states that the rd. conditions on Brook rd. are terrible and would be a lot worse with the extra added traffic. Mrs. Tibbetts says that she moved from the city, to the rural setting on Brook rd., for a better quality of life for herself and her family.
Don Bormes has concerns with the last two lots shown on the map as proposed lots 41-8 and 41-9.
Jude Hamel supports the proposed development.
Helmut Busack feels that we are looking at a subversion of a cluster development.
Patsy Wells suggests that maybe Mr. Craig should consider 4 lots on Prescott rd. and 3 lots on Brook rd.
Mr. Jenkins questions the property tax issue with the proposed easement.The owner would being taxes on 3 acres, when in actuality they would only be using 1.5 acres.
The board also discusses Brook Rd. as being a scenic rd. RSA 472; 6- Stone wall removal or alterations require two public hearings. The board also discussed the need for a cistern. The board will contact Town Counsel on the question of zoning for this proposed subdivision. Helmut Busack will draft the question to be sent to Town Counsel.
Ralph Carter makes a motion to continue to May 02, 2006 for a non public meeting to discuss Town Counsels answer to the zoning issue and to continue public meeting for design review to next regular meeting on May 16, 2006. Don Bormes seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
Other Business:
A. Conceptual review of a proposed 3 lot subdivision on 355 Stage Road aka NH Rt. 132.
David Collier- Granite State Surveying, presents. This is a 13.7 acre lot located on Rt. 132. The river which drains Hermit Lake and flows into Cawley Pond bisects the lot. Much of the land is wetland. The plan proposes 2 new lots and 1 lot with the existing home. A Wetlands Scientist will be looking at the property. Mr. Collier is requesting a waiver to do detailed topography on the east side of the brook as that land will not be developed. There is also some question as to whether the property is located in the Aquafir Protection Area.
