Mr. York submitted the following: added frontages to each lot, along with the total length of the roadway to be paved and note #18 stating “all construction complies with Flood elevation requirements of Article 14.6 of the Buxton Ordinance”. All the fire pond data has been added to page 2 of the plans.
Questions from the Board: Keith states the Town attorney submitted a response to the Board questions on most distant terminus and Right, Title and Interest. The distance to be paved on the length of the road is the only item left.

Nichole & Scott Tracy have submitted an application for a conditional use permit to operate a Yoga & Wellness Center at their home located at 332 Chicopee Road; Tax Map 2, Lot 18. A site walk was held on October 8th. Keith informed the applicants that the fire code stated at the site walk was incorrect and they do not need 5/8th sheetrock but suggests to check with Code Enforcement Officer during the permitting process. Sue said the paving of the parking lot, can be waived according to 10.7B. Modify section 10.7F to say they are mature trees and the adjacent properties are fully screened. Sue made corrections to 10.9, 10.10A & B and 10.11A. Cullen suggests solar lighting along the driveway.

Would like to have a maximum of 6. Will submit a new sketch, to show that trees have been cut. They are used for their fleece and not for eating. They are a very gentle and docile animal.
