Michael Holyoak (18 Boulder Way) – Informational Discussion – Mr. Holyoak would like to straighten the Boulder Way right of way where it crosses his property. He presented a plan prepared by Connorstone Engineering for review. Per Mr. Holyoak, Connorstone is reluctant to put their stamp on the plan unless assurance is received from the Planning Board that it is not a subdivision. Properties involved include Hoffses, Scandinavian Social Club, Holyoak and Sydow. Mr. Holyoak stated that all property owners are in favor of having the road location documented. He said that Mr. Sydow would come before the Board if necessary to show his support. He also said that the original structure on his property has been demolished, and he needs to establish the location of the right
of way in order to determine the limits of building envelope for the new house. Mr. Baker said the Sydow property is the site of a two-house subdivision, but Boulder Way is not a town street. It is a private way used by the public. Mr. Holyoak asked about ANR plans. He was told that for the Board to consider an ANR plan, it has to have sufficient frontage, area and access. The Rural Residential District requires 200’ of frontage to qualify. Mr. Baker does not believe the Board can sign an ANR plan showing lots with insufficient frontage. He read the ANR statutory language for those present. There are only two options: it is either an ANR plan or subdivision plan. The possible need for ZBA approval was discussed. If a variance were required, it would involve a Public Hearing. Mr. Manter suggested Mr. Holyoak swap land with the Scandinavian Club to enhance mortgageability in the future. Mr. Holyoak said the
10’ right of way is on the original plot plan. Mr. Baker called on Town Administrator Nancy Colbert Puff for advice. She was asked if the Board could sign an ANR plan knowing there is not sufficient frontage, to which she said yes. Language would be put on the plan stating that the approved plan may not conform to zoning. Ms. Colbert Puff said she is concerned about the pre-existing nonconforming status of the lot and whether it would no longer remain so if the lot lines changed. Town Counsel will be consulted. Mr. Holyoak said that it is the opinion of the engineer that subdivision approval is required. They obtained the information for the plan from the original deed. Mr. Baker said there is no actual layout of the road. Mr. Holyoak was told that since it is a complicated legal question, an expert land use attorney would be helpful. Different options were discussed. Ms. Colbert Puff and Mr. Baker will
research the matter and advise Mr. Holyoak as soon as possible.
Election of Officers, CMRPC Delegates – Elections will occur at the July meeting. Mr. Baker indicated that he was willing to continue as Chair for another year but would like the Vice Chair to be willing to assume the Chairmanship next year. Relating to CMRPC Delegates, he said there is one delegate and one alternate. The alternate is appointed by the Selectmen. Currently, Mr. Baker is the delegate and Howard Drobner is the alternate. He suggested that he and Mr. Drobner continue their appointments this year but would like a member to consider this position next year.
Stiles Crossing Subdivision – Mr. Baker apprised the Members of developments in the ongoing process of the Town's claiming the bond to complete the subdivision. Bids received by the bonding company were higher than the bonded amount. Cost saving measures will be entertained in order to complete the project. It is the opinion of Town Counsel and the Town Administrator that if any changes are to be made, the plan would have to be modified and a Public Hearing held. Another issue is that the developer did not record the Homeowner’s Association until after six lots were sold. Several lots are currently owned by the developer. A Public Hearing will be scheduled for July. A tentative date of July 8 was set, to be finalized after confirmation by the absent members.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
