Public Meeting:
Chair Willeke called the meeting to order at 7:16pm. He explained the procedure for the meeting. He introduced himself, Board members and Planning Staff. He then asked for the applicant to present his proposal.
Public Meeting - #2010-05PB - Application request of Marshall W. Gale, Jr. & Vivian L. Gale for a minor subdivision of properties located at 354 & 358 Clinton Road (Tax Map 220, Lots 24 & 24-BG0) in Antrim, NH, 03440, located in the Rural District.
Public Notice read by Ms. Chauncey. Notice was advertised in The Villager on August 5, 2010. Mr. Moore stated that all abutters had been noticed by certified mail. One abutter (Mr. Bernier – Map 220 Lot 45) had come to the counter – he was not in opposition to the proposal, just wanted clarification – he had thought that five acres was needed in the Rural District –Mr. Moore had told him that 90,000 square feet is the acreage requirement in the Rural District.
Mr. McKenney (Surveyor for the Applicant) explained that the proposed subdivision was situated on Clinton Road (Route 31). He outlined the proposal on a plan that depicted the parent tract and the tract of his sister-in-law and brother [now deceased]. The former lot was non-conforming. The proposed application would create two conforming lots. The 2.8-acre lot has a recently constructed septic approval (NHDES #CA2009098895). The larger lot has an older septic system. The idea is to create a tract for Vivian Gale that would be in her name. Mr. McKenney stated that it was a simple straight forward subdivision.
Chair Willeke asked if the Board were prepared to accept the proposal.
Mr. Robblee motioned to accept the application. Mr. Webber seconded the motion. With a roll call vote, the Board accepted the application, unanimously.
Chair Willeke opened the Public Hearing:

The application is approved. A Notice of Decision will be completed in five business days. The Mylar and decision will be sent upon receipt.
Business Meeting:
Ryan Storro explained his situation.
· Commercial variance has been granted.
· Mr. Robblee said that his thought would be that until a tenant comes in and wants a commercial business, the rentals would remain as is.
· Site plan review is in the works
· Mr. Moore mentioned code problems.
· Mr. Robblee wanted to simplify things
· Mr. Moore said that the building inspector wanted a change of use for multi family use
· Mr. Burnside said that it was a gray area and could go either way
· Mr. Storro explained past use. He wanted to put it back into two apartments and the smaller building into an apartment but it could be a either – either could be a business
· New septic for both buildings – for Shoreland protection
· Understood that if a business were to come in a site plan review would be necessary
The Planning Board members did not understand what the reasoning was for the upcoming site plan review. David Dubois tried to explain what he knew of the project.
Chair Willeke would like the Building Inspector to attend the next meeting. Mr. Willeke did not understand the site plan review - if it always was - why does Mr. Dupuis have to come in now.
Mr. Moore will ask Mr. Hopkins to attend the September 2, 2010 Planning Board Meeting.
Ken Raymond – Conceptual Review for 46 Main Street (Map 103, Lot 098)
Mr. Raymond presented his proposal for the building and the parking lot. (46 Main Street had a major fire on February 8, 2010 that resulted in the demolition of a large portion of the building)
Existing building houses the Trends of Fashion Salon and Bakery 42. Mr. Raymond would finish a portion of the street level to add space to the Salon. The lower level is proposed to have a new entrance from the proposed parking lot (which is where the former building had stood). The new entrance would allow a friendlier access. There is a possibility of six potential units. He said that the two existing businesses have handicap access.
Parking Lot – The footprint of the demolished building is proposed for a larger parking lot that he felt would be a more desirable parking area. The number of spaces would depend on various factors. The possibility of combining the parking lot with the Town of Antrim was discussed.
Mr. Moore asked what the PB would require.
Mr. Raymond thinks it is a non-issue because it was always a rental space.
The Board is supportive of Mr. Raymond’s ideas. He will need to talk with DES and Shoreland Protection; and Department of Transportation for the curb cuts, as well as the possibility of combining the lot with the Town of Antrim. Mr. Webber will bring-up the concept of a combined parking lot at the next Selectmen’s meeting, to see what might be required to make it happen, if deemed feasible.

The letter to Mr. Glover and emails to and from Mr. Pitsas were discussed.
