Jim Bruss, Main Street Conceptual Consultation re: Dodges Store Map 17, Lot 2 & 3:
Jim Goldee represented Jim Bruss regarding the former Dodges Store building on East Main Street. Two parcels are being discussed. The existing block building on Lot 2, is to be retained and renovated in its entirety. The proposal on the wooden structure that is the adjacent building on Lot 3, would be to take it down and build parking for the structure on Lot 2. The storage garages on Lot 3 would remain for the same use. The proposal for the block building on Lot 2 would be to renovate it for a restaurant. There is an existing well which would continue to be used. The existing septic field currently is too close. The proposal would be to build a new septic, back on lot 3. Since a restaurant would seat more than 25 patrons a day, they do seek approval from the Dept. of Environmental Services. The existing well as long as it provides the amount that is necessary and the quality necessary will be utilized. However, a back up plan does need to be considered, just in case, which would be to drill a new well back on the property line between Map 17, Lot 1 and Map 17, Lot 2. Lot 1 is owned by Paul Saxby and Lot 2 is owned by Geoffrey and Sarah Hirsch. Both parties are very cooperative. Question is, is it an easement on both lots, or is a Lot Line Adjustment in order, where about an acre would be taken from one lot and added to the other so the easement would be on one lot only?
The building has also been discussed as being used just as a retail facility per Mr. Goldee, in which case, the back-up well plan would not be required.
A Lot Line Adjustment is being considered at this time, and was discussed at length as the board perused a map presented by Mr. Goldee. This would be considered as two different applications.
The CNHRPC Circuit Rider may be contacted.
William and Jane Lucas,Old Mountain Road, Map 4, Lot 34 & 34A represented by Roger Rodewald, Riverside Design, Lot Line Adjustment:
Roger Rodewald, Riverside Design came before the board regarding a Lot Line Adjustment and will file an Application including the Mylar for the June 8, 2010 meeting. The abutters will have to be notified.
Bob Foley, 111 Massasecum Ave. Conceptual Consultation, Map 11, Lot 13 and Map 11, Lot 47 on 112 Massasecum Ave.:
Sonny Harris stepped down. Mr. Foley is hoping to split off 10 or 12 acres. The tax map was brought up for the board’s perusal. A copy of Mr. Foley’s deed was received. Mr. Foley advised he had discussed his desires with his attorney who advised him to talk with the Planning Board. The consensus of the Planning Board is that they actually have no input in this endeavor, there is no sub-division required.
Gravel pit wording of extension of permits:
This discussion will be tabled until Phil LaMoreaux discusses with Bruce Edwards what he is basing his comments on regarding state regulations for timing.
Other Business to come before the Board:
Marcia Keller, Chair advised she had spoken with the Selectmen regarding updating the CIP. It was thought that perhaps Andrew Pinard could be contacted regarding the projection of programs from the Kearsarge Regional School District to help in updating the CIP. Gary Wall also asked if Marcia Keller, Chair would talk with the Budget Committee regarding the CIP.
Also, there is no report tonight regarding the Mosiac Artiques sign size, the Building Inspector is going to measure.
Existing signs discussed were: Lumber Barn and The Junction.
Jim Bibbo and Sonny Harris attended the Planning Seminar and Marcia asked them to summarize the topics etc at the next Planning Board meeting on May 25, 2010.
Once again, several names were discussed as to being Planning Board Alternates.
Marcia Keller, Chair requested the board members come up with suggestions and ideas in writing for changes for the Zoning Ordinances.
The Planning Board authorized Marge Cilley, Secretary to order a 100 capacity wooden cassette rack in which to store the tapes which we keep for two years.
Meeting adjourned at 9:20pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Marjorie R. Cilley
Secretary
