PUBLIC HEARING: Mark Drew
Subdivision
Map 1, Lot 26, Shortfalls Road
Abutters present: Steve Grafton, Joseph Wherle and Jeff Andrews.
Mr. Andrews property is within 200 feet of Mr. Drew’s property, therefore he has been sent abutters notices and is present at this meeting.
Mr. Drew presented the Board with final plans. The Board had requested specifically to have: Set Backs, Soil Types and Water Courses. The property to be subdivided seems to all be in the RDA (old soil types) 547B Walpole (new soil types) both types are classified as wet lands. Several members of the Planning Board walked this property on October 10, 1998 and confirmed that the lot contains substantial wet lands, Chairman Scott notified Mr. Drew of this review by letter dated October 14, 1998.
Mr. Drew feels that people in town are trying to control his piece of property without anything coming out of their pockets. Mr. Scott informed Mr. Drew that no one was trying to tell him what he can and cannot do, what the Board is trying to tell Mr. Drew is that this land is wet land and is not buildable. Mr. Scott on several occasions placed Mr. Drew out of order, he was asked to leave and at such a point Mr. Drew could return to the Board in a civilized manner. Mr. Drew handed the members notification of injustice. Mr. Drew stated he had not received notice of Public Hearing on Map 4, Lot 167 the certified letter had not been returned by the Post Office.
Motion was made to table this meeting.

Zoning issue, sign at Abundant Life Plaza
Dover Road
Mr. Lincoln and his partner didn’t understand the zoning and felt that they need this sign to stay at that property. Mr. Lincoln was advised that their sign was in violation of the zoning. The Board suggests they go to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, also suggest they write a letter to the Selectmen to postpone any action on the sign until the issue is resolved with the ZBA. They will also need to go thru a site review for the new business located at the Abundant Life Plaza.
