Review of Gap Mt. Development property – Map 245 Lot 17
Excavation Pit:
Mr. Belletete said that he was unsure of the permitting dates for Excavation Pits in the town
Chair Dubois explained that Ms. Ogilvie (Consultant Planner) was developing a revised document (that would include the renewal process) for the Town of Antrim Excavation Permit and that at this time, a temporary permit would be the best solution for Gap Mt.
The Board discussed Excavation Permits in the Town of Antrim. Some of the items discussed:
- If a permit expires and is not renewed, a full public hearing will be necessary
- All the present pits are grandfathered pits
- The need for Ms. Ogilvie’s revised version of the TOA Permit was reinforced
- Possibly the permit should be issued for the life of the pit?
- The revised document should be clearer
- Two other pits had been granted temporary permits (Jones & Zeke & Mack’s)
Motion: Mr. MacDonald moved to issue a temporary permit to Gap Mt Development. It was seconded by Ms. VanderWende. The Board voted unanimously to grant the temporary permit.
Subdivision:
Mr. Belletete stated that he has the bonds “ready to go”, but that he would prefer to return to the Board on November 1 to discuss the subdivision approval. The Board agreed.
Approve Planning Board Minutes of October 4, 2012
Ms. Vanderwende moved to approve the minutes; Mr. Lazar seconded. The Board approved the minutes as amended.
SEC Update
At the last Board meeting, the Board had approved Atty Waugh’s review of the court decision on the Met Tower. After Chair Dubois received the reply he had determined that the best way to compile the Board’s position would be to compose a letter. He sent the letter to Atty Waugh, received a response, and no longer wanted to send the letter. He will send the thread of correspondence to the Board members.
October 26 – Subdivision authority meeting
October 29 – Beginning of adjudicatory hearing
Knapton Circle/Glover Update
The former Town Engineer, the Road Agent, a Selectman, Town Administrator, and Ms. Chauncey will meet at 8AM at Knapton Circle on October 23, 2012.
Review and edit current Subdivision & Site Plan Review Regulations
Vice Chair Lazar had taken Section V and restructured it. He explained his rationale for the reformat of the structure and consolidation of the content. He reviewed items that still need to be addressed.
The Board discussed the Public Hearing and that possibly the hearing could be combined with a hearing on Zoning Ordinance (ZO) Amendments.
The Board discussed the possible amendment changes: rewording in a portion of the Personal Wireless Service Facility (Ms. Ogilvie should assist) and the possibility of striking the words “public utility” from the ZO.
The Board reviewed the correspondence:
Attorney Waugh Invoice
Southwest Regional Planning Commission newsletter - FYI
State of NH DOT Driveway Permit #04-017-0013 – FYI
DES Management of Septic Systems – FYI
At 9:30PM, Mr. MacDonald moved to adjourn. Vice-Chair Lazar seconded. All approved.
Respectfully submitted, Diane Chauncey, Secretary of the Planning Board
