Peter Howe from Fay, Spofford and Klondike presented revised plans to the Board. Minor revisions have been made to the plans pertaining to the site. The pavement will be extended behind the building for emergency access; the car wash area will be defined on pavement for proper traffic flow that will not interfere with pump traffic flow.

Several overlay plans were presented to show circulation of different kinds of traffic. Septic system is more than adequate to house the site.  A traffic study has been done and will be reported to State of New Hampshire, Department of Transportation, District 5, at which time the Board will receive documentation of approval of new proposal and driveway permit.

DISCUSSION:                             James McKerley
                                                Lot line adjustment/consolidation
                                                Map 2, Lots 32-1, 62 & 63, Bailey Road

Mr. McKerley owns all three pieces of property and would like to consolidate to one lot. Mr. McKerley has provided the Board with a voluntary consolidation form as stated in  RSA: 674:39. The only thing the Board needs will be a new lot number. The secretary will notify Merrimack County Registry of Deeds after further review and the decision of the new lot number.

DISCUSSION:                             Jim Mullaney
                                                Subdivision – Phase II Malachy Glen
                                                Map 2, Lot 77, Horse Corner Road

Mr. Mullaney presented the Board with two different plans for Phase II one entering Bailey Road and the other entering off of Route 4 between Dexter Shoes and Twomey & Sisti Law Office. This will be either a 17 or 19 lot subdivision. The Road Agent has stated that if the project were to come out on to Bailey Road he would request the road be paved.

There is a concern with the road coming out onto Route 4 with the already dangerous traffic issues in the area.

Mr. Mullaney would be willing to meet a compromise to build the project. There is a limit on development in Chichester and Mr. Mullaney would like to request that the entire subdivision be approved with stipulation on the plan not to be improved until 2003, 2004, 2005 and so forth for each lot over the first allowed per zoning.

Mr. Mullaney would like to complete the road in one process. It is very hard to build a road in phases, he states it is not good for the road and it is not good for the homeowners. Mr. Mullaney would also like to have some type of assurance as to building and something regarding impact fee choices. Chairman Scott made it clear that the impact fees are not going away and the building development zoning would not be comprised unless the developer is willing to mitigate.  Mr. Mullaney stated he would be willing to mitigate. Mr. Twomey would like to be notified of all meetings for this project.

Mr. Mullaney will contact Secretary Deachman when he is ready to continue.
