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, final plans for a

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

He explained the town engineer has accepted the drainage will conform to the Town stormwater regulations and ordinances. Specifically, he noted the design has been revised to include two (2)-leaching catch basins behind the building. In addition, they have included some Exfiltration out of the detention pond in the revised stormwater management calculations. The revised calculations indicate this project will retain the additional runoff volume (and peak rate) on site in accordance with the zoning ordinance and site regulations. He concluded the rear of the berm was included to ensure runoff from the Route 101 side slope and the effluent from the 18” RCP under Route 101 to flow northwards, as it currently does and is not changed by this development.

The Board noted lighting had been added to the plans. They also discussed access for the existing house, which will be improved. Setbacks for the property include residential in the front of the building and commercial in the back. Bill respectfully asked for a waiver of Section 6.3-g High intensity soil survey.

Donald Sienkiewicz, member of First Light Farmthe applicant, introduced Carl, his wife Katea wifeKatea, Ray Shea , of Sandford Survey , Lucia Kitridg and e, and David ElyEaley and Ellen KambolCambpell from Windy Hill Aassociates appeared before the Board. They explained they have acquired Lot F-95-04 and with a lot line adjustment will have their frontage and right of way. They are however, requesting a waiver from Section 1.3 of Appendix 1: Road Design Standards and Specifications for the length of the road. They are proposing at 1,100-foot road with a steady 8% grade. They also would like to determine if this project has a regional impact. The Board concluded there would be a regional impact.. 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? Everyone with a garage?

ElyEaley- right now, discussed having a community garage,

MacMArtin, square footage?

ElyEaley- 2350, second largest in the four different kinds

Fish- lot size

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 possible so people want to drive slowly and kids can be safe,

A MOTION was made by Alex MacMartinNeil Faiman and SECONDED by Dan Donovan to continue this matter to the Board, the road would become the a town road,

Would not qualify for the road right now but foresees waivers needed down the road,

Why does it have to be a public road?

MacMArtin: because of the people running in and out, because

Have to be concerned about a fire truck getting in and out, 18 feet is the absolute minimum, would need packed shoulders, can accomplish a country looking road with geographic planning,

Spencer noted that 84 houses

Delia Windwalk Burns hill road

Currently they could have 20 houses with a potential of 22 houses but there are a number of requirements that havt o be met

Donald confirmed utilities for the road would be underground. He also stated they would be limiting trees along the road side for safety. He hopes to gain the Fire Chief’s support on their request for an 18’ wide road. The Board stated not only would utilities and trees be factors but life safety is also an issue. They suggested the applicants review the Hearthstone ZBA decision. They concluded the Fire Chief’s approval is a top priority.

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.Craig and Sue Checani reappeared with revised plans for their site plan of 40 West Intervale Road. Craig explained RSA 261:103 does not pertain to bonded retail vehicle dealers and that he had included the hours of operation and a parking sketch on the plans.

The Board stated Section 8.2.4 Setbacks would need to be met, therefore, parking area B would need to be relocated to the Northwest back corner of the property.

Craig concluded he had a service agreement with Medlyn Motor, Inc.

The Board asked Craig to revise his hours to be in compliance with the State Guidelines of remaining open for 37.5 hours a week and to include the setback lines on revised drawings with new location of parking area B.

Craig agreed to return to the April 18, 2007 meeting. There was no further discussion on the matter.

7.) Good News Bible Church – Site Plan application Lot F-012-01 – 27 Hutchinson Road in the Industrial, Acquifer and Wetlands Districts. Applicant is proposing an addition to the building and parking lot.

Paul Carideo of TF Moran presented an overview of the proposed addition and parking area to the Church. He explained Good News Bible Church has applied to the Wilton ZBA for a special exception under the terms of section 5.3.3 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance, and for a variance to Section 8.4 of the Ordinance, to permit an expansion of the existing church on Lot F–12–1, 27 Hutchinson Road, which would result in traffic exceeding the permitted number of average daily trips for the lot. He further noted that he would be requesting a waiver of Section 6.3-g High intensity soil survey and Section 9.8.2 Parking Lot Landscaping.

Paul noted the building has downcast lighting and the addition would accommodate 256 (3,525 ft) for the addition and the parking spaces total to 88 (3 handicapped). The existing 300-gallon septic would be replaced with a 774 gallon system.

The Board asked for the seating counts to be checked. Paul asked for the plans to be sent to the Town Engineer, LaBombard Engineering, as mitigation measures would be needed. Conservation Commission representative Spencer Brooks asked that the seasonal stream towards the back parking lot is taken into consideration when Mr. LaBombard reviews the plans. The Board agreed.

A MOTION was made by Alec MacMartin and SECONDED by Neil Faiman to continue the hearing to April 18, 2007.

Voting: 7 ayes; motion carried.

Paul thanked the Board for their time. There was no further discussion on the matter.

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,

8.) 0:10 Provost 1993 Trust – Subdivision Application Lot B-014 Cram Hill Road in the Residential/Agricultural and Wetland Districts. Applicant is proposing a 19-lot subdivision and new public road. Dawn TuomalaToumala, Fish steped back

Matt Fish stepped down from the Board as a voting member.

Attorney Robert V. McKenney, McKenney & Bausha, P.C., appeared before the Board for acceptance and approval for a proposed road and subdivision along the Wilton-Lyndeborough Town line. The Wilton portion of the project is located on Lot B-014 (61.537 acres) and Lot 238-19 (8.692 acres) in Lyndeborough. A new road is proposed off Cram Hill Road and the project proposes 19 building lots. The total land involved in both towns is 70.225 acres. 3 reduced frontage lots are proposed with at least 1 shared driveway. He concluded a 50-foot buffer/easement from the Granite State excavation is proposed to prevent expansion, which borders the west and south boundaries of the project in Wilton.

As the applicant is pending a ZBA special exception for a proposed 9,544-ft wetland disturbance over 3 locations in Wilton and 1 in Lyndeborough, he would like to keep the presentation to reflect administrative issues. He stated RSA 674:53, VI permits the applicant to petition the local land use boards of each municipality to proceed with the application on a joint basis, and, upon such petition, joint hearings or meetings shall be held throughout the application process. Attorney McKenney formally requested the Board consider this.

The Board noted both egresses from the proposed road are in Lyndeborough but go through Wilton. They questioned emergency vehicle and school bus services noting they are major concerns. They also saw limitations with drainage. Attorney McKenney stated LaBombard Engineering had recommended impacts could be reduced with minor road relocation and by using retaining walls in the wetland areas but he was not supportive of this request.

Attorney McKenney informed the Board the Town of Lyndeborough would be conducting a site visit on Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. and invited the Board to attend this joint meeting.

Brendan Philbrick, resident of Lyndeborough and taxpayer of Wilton informed the Board that he had negative input regarding the safe site distances and the lots split between the towns. He asked the Board to remember is the third (3^rd) largest subdivision in Wilton. Matt Balou asked the Board to recognize the issue with two towns servicing one road. He referred to a conservation commission report and asked if it was available to view. Chairman Brian Sullivan reminded Brendan and Matt that at this time, the Board was discussing the administrative issues of RSA 36:54-58 only at this meeting.

A MOTION was made by Neil Faiman and SECONDED by William Condra to find the applicant under RSA 36:54 to 58 Regional Impact therefore, the Nashua Regional Planning Commission and the towns of Milford and Lyndeborough would be noticed as such within a 14 day period.

Voting: 5 ayes; motion carried.
