- Pickman Map 03 Lot 102, New construction/ Site Plan. Walter Royal emailed Pam Bruss and stated that there was no need for a site plan based on the fact that it is a garage for personal use. The setbacks were discussed regarding the wetlands and it was determined that Walter Royal (Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer) needs to go out and measure the setback to determine if new construction is within them. A new Site Plan is also required with the shared driveway to the adjourning lot. Mel Pfeifle also stated that Pickman may need a new Deed description as well to include the access and shared driveway in case of future sale of the property. Pam Bruss stated in order to move forward Pickman needs to review requirements for a new deed description, description of use, verify the wetland setbacks, determine the buildable acres and have an updated Site Plan submitted.
- Motion: Carol Troy motioned to send a letter to the Selectboard asking for more clarification on the wetland setbacks, buildable acres and to require an updated site plan showing driveway access and the decrease in parking in the adjourning lot.
