Norman & Stephanie Russell re-submitting a pre-application for a 10-lot subdivision located off Mary Jane Road; Tax Map 1, Lot 174. Lawrence Humble of Tooth and Associates presented the plan for Norman & Stephanie Russell’s 10 lot cluster subdivision. The property is located within 3 zoning districts (Village, Rural and Residential) located off the Mary Jane Road. The lot density calculates out to 19 lots. An out parcel located in the village zone has the potential for future development.
Dennis supported the plan for a cluster subdivision, but is uncertain of the calculation process of the 3 zones. Keith questioned why a cul-de-sac verses a hammerhead. Mr. Humble stated that its purpose is to gain road frontage for the lots. Cullen applauded the applicant for choosing the cluster plan also. Wanda asked if the out parcel was calculated into the net density calculations. Mr. Humble did include the out parcel in the calculations. Underground power is required in section 11.6.B.15. The Board is requiring that more information be submitted.
Richard & Mitzi Kuniegel are requesting a Conditional Use permit to raise Alpacas at 49 Woodman Road; Tax Map 10, Lot 84A. The Board last met with Mr. Kuniegel at a site walk on October 22nd. Wanda specified the area looked okay with a slight slope in the back yard. She would like more information on the manure storage. Mr. Kuniegel said the manure would be recycled for other uses around the yard. He is looking for a quiet, park like environment. Fred stated that the manure should be stored on a concrete or impervious bed with a cover to keep the rain from washing the nitrates onto abutting properties. Mr. Kuniegel will have more details for the next meeting.
