Appearances:

  • Map 17 Lot 2 Trask Pfeifle- Preliminary Discussion

Trask is trying to relocate a retail digital print, screen printing and embroidery shop from Connecticut to Map 17 Lot 2 in Bradford, NH.

Carol Troy explains a site plan is needed to move forward. Trask asked if the site plan should come from the owners of the building. Katie Olohan states that Trask needs a letter from the owner of the building saying they are accepting the building as a retail business.

Mel Pfeifle states that the site plan application has to be complete as well as fees paid 10 calendar days before going to the Planning board meeting on August 10th, so public notices can be sent out for the next meeting at the end of August 2021. Carol Troy states the abutters to the property need to be notified as well. Mel Pfeifle suggested having Walter Royal the code enforcement officer verify that the building is up to code.

Other Communications:

Richard Mozzetta and Kathy Mozzetta of 232 Cressy Road bought their property 3 years ago which abuts Mike Dillon’s property at 219 Cressy Rd. Richard shared his concerns regarding the noise in the area and on Mr. Dillon’s property. Richard stated he has spoken to Mike Dillon regarding his property and the noise in the neighborhood. Richard stated that Mike was given permission in 2019 for his home business and he does not agree with this ruling. He also stated that at the Select Board Meeting Mike was told that Walter Royal, the code enforcement officer, said Mr. Dillon was in compliance with the Town of Bradford for his home business. 

Mel Pfeifle suggests Mr. Mozzetta contact Walter Royal, the code enforcement officer, to come out to the property to see the impact that Mr. Dillon’s business is having in the neighborhood.

Carol Troy stated that Mike Dillon was furnished the applicable forms to file with the Planning Board for a home business. Mel Pfeifle stated that Richard should attend the next Select Board meeting to express his grievances. Sonny Harris suggested limiting the hours on Mr. Dillon’s business and possibly insulating the building to help reduce the noise.  Richard stated that Mr. Dillon uses his chainsaws outside and that will not help with the noise. Mel stated that the chainsaw noise did not come up in the Select Board meeting. Carol Troy stated that Mike Dillon is a commercial business in a residential area and needs to go to the Zoning Board as well as the Select Board before being brought to the Planning Board. 

Discussion ended at 8:13pm
