Withdrawn application
 

Keith & Sandra Knight - Lot B-39
Ms. Tuomala stepped off the board and presented the application.
The applicants want to subdivide and have a back-lot of 12.030 acres.

NRPC’s recommendations (see file): Item 1 has been fixed but if the home had a septic system built in the proposed location it would be in the setback so the line was moved to solve the problem.
Add to note 14 or add it to 10: Lot B-39-2 shows an area reserved for a NEW septic system when and if the existing one fails.  (It is in the easement)
The surveyor added “CA” to the note in item 11.
EDA: Effulent Disposal Area (new term)

Attorney Little will review the legal language for the easement.  The Board discussed the access and utility easement and septic system.

David E. Blackmer - Lot C-7
Jack Kelley, Meridian Land Services, represented the Blackmers.  This is a NEW application by the client.  The plan he presented is a record on file from July 2001.

Mr. Rockwood asked why the ZBA ruling they obtained regarding Class VI road is not on the plan.  Matt Higgins said he informed Heidi Blackmer the ZBA ruling should be on the plan.  Old County Farm Road is still not classified as any type of road and it should be noted it is a Class VI road.

Ms. Castro said the plan should indicate which section of Old County Farm Road is Class VI and where it becomes Class V, which is at the stone wall.  Mr. Glines stated that in 1933 the stone wall is where the road was discontinued therefore document confirms it.  That is how it is shown on the tax map according to Mr. Higgins.

Changes to plan:
-Item 4: Add “on a class 5 road” after “200 feet”.
-Note 7: Add “The Variance will permit the subdivision of Lot C-7, 242 Old Country Farm Road, into two lots.  One or both of which would not have 200 feet of frontage on a public right of way, Class V or better.  (1) The Board does not endorse the subdivision of any properties with frontage on a Class VI Road; and (2) this subdivision, which has frontage on a Class VI road, stems from a unique situation.  Also, the Board may request to identify Old County Farm Road as a Class VI road on the plan.”
-Note 8: “no further subdivisions will be allowed”.
-Update the owner’s names for Lot C-6, which are now William and Jeannine Gilman.

Abutters William and Jeannine Gilman, 305 Old County Road. The recently purchased the Paige property and wanted to be clear about the activity of the plan.

Other Business
Monadnock Mountain Spring water - Lots 142 & 143
David Glines is off the Board
Kevin McGonigle addressed the Board.
The company has leased space at Pioneer Plastics both inside the building and outside for 10 trailers.  The drivers will park their cars in Greenville and pick up their rigs.

Three changes they added to the plan:
1.  Added 2 more storage trailers on the left-hand side of the plan.  See file for a letter from a structural engineer saying the storage units won’t float away and it falls within the 100 year flood plan.

2.  Moved the silo pad and adding more concrete to add a distiller.  The distiller is 6 ft. wide, 4 ft. tall and would prefer a 5-ft. shed or roof over it.  The pad is 20x30 ft., which is 600 sq. ft.
3.  The original building that was approved was 88 ft. but it will end up being 86 ft. but 12 ft. wider.

Mr. Rockwood said it would change the calculations for proposed lot coverage area and Mr. McGonigle said it would be adjusted.  The building area that was moved over was landscaping and parking.  “

Mr. Rockwood recommended that the plan should be re-noticed and an application filed.  The town will waive the application fee but collect for public and abutter notice fees.

The applicant was asked to provide a picture of the distiller and an amended picture of the new building.  The structure over the distiller can be labeled a “canopy” if the sides will be left open.

Mr. Rockwood didn’t see any calculations for pavement

Mr. Glines asked if the procedures for applying for a sign application were provided with the application so that the process is clear.  (Instruction sheet)
