Subdivision – Barrett Mountain LLC 7:44-
Bill Davidson from Meridian Services, stepping in
for Chad BrannonBRanner,
Basically an updateHe explained , working on legalthat Meridian’s attorney, Carolyn Owen and Town
Council have been passing
papers back and forth with minor changes and s, Silas got
back to the ateornry, she made his revisions and sent
them back today, monir stuff, he imagined that the issues would be resovledresolved by the next Planning
Board meeting. He noted
that he added , on this
plan added Note 19 with reference to , last time
here looking for an industrial use
only and Note 16 was expanded as requested to address Spencer Brooks’ concerns
about note, Spencer
had an issue on the a pedestrian easement. , Note 16
was expanded to take that into account,He stated that
the plans had been reviewed by received review from Steve Wagner who, mentioned the
issue of an of obond foffsite improvement
agreement with the Selectman however he, did not know what those
improvements would be. Bill, assumed that theseis would be dealt withone when the individual
site plans were received since, each one of these lots will
come back with whatever site plan is required depending
on by the end user. , Dan Donavan agreed with Bill’s plan of procedure and stated that he, does not
think that esn’t see
that there would be anyany off-sitesiute improvements will be needed as the
properties are s due to it
being oon a state road but suggested that a , maybe note statingthat says that offsite improvements will
be assessed upon site plans might be
appropriate., Bill
questioned the procedure for the
Rroad boand estimate and the
Board stated that traditionally it comes , planning
on putting it together and , board says traditional comes
tthrough the board and is then is reviewed by the Sselectman and the Ttown Eengineer. Bill stated that they will rr
Road bounds, set the corners
and then set the road bounds after the road has been constructedion all of which, would be included in the road
bond estimate., once set
lot corners would be done by before approva from this board, They also
discussed that even though
Steve Wagner made has a mention of filing NOI and SWPPPSWIFT plan before construction on his review there , does not need to be aa note on the plan.Co-Chairman
There was no further discussion
on the matter.
Still some back and forth with Silas, yes but will
be taken care, seem minor, done by next meeting for sure, Carolyn Owne &
Silas,
Steve- leave that the board walks the bounds or put
a note for a surveryour,
Leave that the board walks the bound and leave into
the
Will note the bounds after
Bounds are not in but will call the board, After some
discussion about where
the bounds meet the
river, Bill stated that Meridian will put permanent
markers up where the properties meet the
easement and grade stakes in between
the permanent marker so that Conservation Committee will be able to place their
placards.
Dan Donoavaan suggested
that Bill - might want to verify with Peggy
about the Warrant Article as the , The Sselectman revieweds warrant articles the other evening and he and he
doesn does not ’t remember the article
in question.it
Spencer, someone from WCC should be there to walk
the bounds, concerened that the future owners of the property will not know
that there is an easement there and , would need to put stakes on the bounds
and then the conservation committee could but there signs 10 feet in,
He can put stakes on the property lines and then
make sure that Spencer will be able to locate with the
Alec MacMartin volunteeredwill to walk the bounds and call
Spencer when they are ready. when he
calls saying that the bounds are in call, board will call SpencerSoencers
Discussed grade stakes versus grade stakes – he
will put permanent markers where ewach of the properties cross the easement and
put grade stakes in between so Spencer can follow for his signagre,
The floor was opened for public comment. There was
none.

Faiman and Dan Donoavan stepped
off the Board as voting members.
FaimanFariman and
Donavan resigned,
Bill Davidson, of from Meridian, reappeared
before the Board with passed out revised plans and explained that the, last two times he was before the Board they had there was
discussiondiscussed
the best about density for this
site, noting that his firm
had, decided
that the density for th decided on two 36’ by 36’
units.is lot is
two units, 36’ by 36’, probably larger footprint then what is going to be built
for He explained that, he is unsure of the actually
foot print of the units at this time. He also noted that , adjacent to the
units will be a is a four bay garage with, two bays for each unit and , added additional parking space at the existing house.e,
He noted that about 75’ in from the road there
is a pavement line where the pavement would end and the , propoased
pavement would end, driveway and parking would be
gravel. He noted that this revised plan would include the, same culvert, the still have
a retention
basin, a , reduced amount the
of landscaping that had
originally,, and now would
include an 8%$ impervious cover. The Board discussed different options for the
parking including an island between
each unit’s parking spaces.,
Seems like
a lot of parking spaces, basically the 36’ feet long, storage will be a
premiumum because there will be no basemwent, Sullivan likes the idea of an
island for two spaces between the two units parking,
Bill and the Board discussed the
amount of review that would be necessary
for this site due to the fact
that it is a split zone lot with both commercial and residential zones. The
Board noted that outside review would probably be necessary
with concern to the runoff and
drainage issues only.
The Questioned
because it is a split zone lot between residential and commercial, problem in
the commercial zone states that anything besides a single family has to come
before the planning board, what does the board think about that and to what
extreme would the site plan process be, hopin not to go through outside
engineering review for this plan, first paragraph of 7.0, board noted that this
district has had problems and whatever is done on the site needs to deal with
the runoff issues in the area, he is wondering to what
degree of review is needed, board MacMArtin concerned that needs to be reviewed
because of the drainage issues, need outside review maybe just for the
drainage, Fish, worried that this would intentisfy the run off from the BRagdon
property
MacMartin
don’t know that we need a full blown review but do need a review of the
drainage issues,
Bill there
was a problem because there was an 8” pipe that was crushed and not taking on
water, John put in a 12” culvert that ends in the same spot and regarded the
swale, therefore the back up has been dealt with,
MacMArtin,
on the Bragdon property there is a twelve “ culvert under the drive and need
someone to look at the flow between tBRagdon and
Board stated that
they would send send the
materialsthe materials out to the
outside firm whom would then produce an
estimate and then Meridian could set up an escrow fund.get an
estimate and an escrow plan will be set up, make sure to get revisions done
first, It was noted that Bill should
do his final revisions before provided plans to be sent for outside review.
Spencer –
gravel impervious? – Stever after
gravel is compacted it becomes impervious,

Applicant is proposing a 25 unit cluster subdivision. 8:45
Donald Sienkiewicz, member of First Light
Farmthe
applicant,
introduced Carl, his wife Katea wifeKatea, Ray Shey ,
of Sandford Survey , Lucia Kitridge, and David ElyEaley and Ellen KambolCambpell from Windy Hill Aassociates. Lucia
explained the
proposed site plan noting that there are ,
Lucia,
property is 40.576 acres of land, which
includes 1.2 acres of wetland, steep slopes on the East side and, but a large area of level terrain at
the top of the hill. She explained that this, proposal includes
aning access road up
the slope from Isasac Frye which will
, proposinglead
to a a loop road with several clutersclusters
on it for a total of 25 homes. She noted
that there will be 28 acres, or , 75%, of
open space, 28 acres
open, after allowing an for exclusive area for each houses.
She explained that the proposal
includes a , sited with
solar, large green in clarge green in the center which would serve as a
community center and community gardens and also
they are, proposing that some of the more
gentle slopes would be cleared to create views and creat meadows. Lucia explained that they are , proposing that the snow mobile trail would be
rerouted and open for non motorized traffic.
She explained that the loops, perimeter buffer of 105’ which is
double the cluster ordincace, proposing selective clearing on the 15-25,
Hhomes would be
primarily detached single family
homes with the possibility, possible a
of a few duplex homes and attached garages for each home, however, she noted, this is
subject to change., subject
to change, showing homes with attached garages, could change, intent is to
provide attached garages, proposing community bulding which would be available
for everyone livingin the community,
David ElyEaley, architect at Wwindy Hhill Aassociates, explained
that he had only designed one type of home so far out of the four or five
proposed types of homes. He noted that they are trying to make the most of the
natural elements including solar exposure and that they are trying to create a
community with houses close together and screened in porches, desgined
one home so far, looking to blend with traditional homes of new England and
also the Pine Hill school, unique because trying to
create a community, siting homes very close together so people can interact
with their neighbors as they walk by, screened in porch, possible solar panel,
southern exposure with lots of windows, views from the sight means views to the
sight, tried to keep profile low to blend with topograohy, lot of thought going
into it while keeping the housing costs
low.,
In response to a question from
the Board retaining to lot size, Fish seems
difficult to blend such nce housing with lower income housing,
ElyEaley,
proposing to do a mix,
Fairbank?

Ray Shea stated
that they – have notnt done a lot of engineering at
this point., right now not
looking at lots rather limited common area, about 1100 feet East of Abbot Hill
and Issac Frye, to 10 acre lots from Four Corner
He explained that this site is made up of six lots that abut Four Cornerss Farm, made up
of 6 lots, access road is the exact location of the private drive which served
the four lots at the top of the hill, 8% grade to the top of the hill,
with the access road being the o originally private way that leads to the property. He noted that he needs to discuss
with the Board if there is any relief to be found from the standard widths needed for a public access road. designed
in terms of width, need to discuss if there is ant relief from the standar
He explained that they were planning to use three or four septic tanks and two
common wells as well as
two cisterns , looking
to break up seewarge into every ¾ hours, 2 common wells, fire chief looking for
2 cisterns at the top of the hill have
pipes running down and attachinged to hydrants as
requested byut the
Fire Chief.that he can
pull from it, open space, eliminated
road area and 50 feet from houses, will provide alternate areas for septic but
have not yet,
The Board then had a discussion
about density with a final determination being that the applicants probably
would not be able to put any more
then 22.5 homes on this site, maybe less.
The Board also discussed the issue of the road width
explaining that for a public road,
which fire trucks need to be able to get in and out of, an absolute minimum
width is 18 feet is needed but
with careful geographic planning a country look could be retained. The Board
also suggested that the applicants review the Riverwalk subdivision minutes.MacMartin:
#9 look at what was there in 1989, which was one lot, so there is already
development on the original parcel, if it had held together as a large lot it
would have been 25% density but now since it has already been subdivided the
density is 12.5%, the original subdivision would have supported 6 houses, but
this proposal would mean a 400% increase. The idea of the ordinance was that if
you were to keep the original plot intack one received more of a bonus, it
would be a consolidation of lots and then it would be a condimunimum complex,
Fairbank –
seems that this would be in the spirit of the cluter ordinances,
Open space
would be available to everyone in the town, the central green would be mostly
for residents but all the open space and foot trails would be open to the
public
Issues –
read through the cluster regulations and the subdivision regulations, road
should be 600’ but is 1100’ , would like to keep the roads as narrow as

Craig Checani – Site Plan Review
- F017 40 West Intervale Road
requesting a waiver on a site plan,
This applicant is requesting
that the Board approve the application for a one man office with no more then
three cars for sale at a time. The Board discussed that this site is in the
aquifer district and that the applicant
may have difficulty
getting the application approved due to the possible leakage of car fluids. The
applicant noted that he is attempting to get a minor dealers
license
from the state. The Board explained that they could easily approve the
application without the cars present but they were unsure if this would meet
the applicant’s
needs for the state. They
did however state that they would be inclined to accept the less formal plans
as long as he included the nature of the business and hours on the drawing and
had a separate
application for the signage.
Smack down
in the aquifer district and worries about car leakage,
Questions
of vehicles on site? Only three cars to public at any given time, not going to
wash the car, doubt he would have more then one vehicle at a time, needs
approval to use it as a base, not planning on opening a auto shop and washing
and waxing cars,
\
If all you
were asking for was to have your office in that building then that would
probably be okay, but your asking to have cars on the property, the department
of safety requires that you are approved for zoning
Could turn
in a drawing 22 days before next months meeting ans state what you are going to
be doing in that office, and state that you will not have cars for sale on
site,
The
regulations do not say anything about car sales, however it would require a
closer space,
The board
stated that the board would be inclined to accept the less than professional
application,
Nature of
business, and hours on the drawings, separate application for signage,
