The Board stated to the applicant that he would need to add his sign to the plan. Mrs. Barnouski also stated to the applicant that he would need to apply for a building permit for his new sign and have it approved by the building inspector.
Abutter: David Morey
Mr. Morey stated that he was very worried about the safety of traffic entering and leaving that property due to its location on Dover Road. He also asked about putting restrictions on how close Mr. Mackenzie could park his Trailers to the road. The Board advised Mr. Morey that they were not able to put a restriction on where he parked the trailers, however he would not be able to park them in the State right of way. They also informed him that D.O.T. would be reviewing the applicant’s driveway permit and could address safety concerns.

Continued Conceptual Review-

Owner: Karey Dumont
Developer: Leo Dumont
Engineer: Brown Engineering
Mr. Brehm began the review by stating that this meeting is that of a conceptual nature and is non-binding for both the applicant and the Chichester Planning Board.
Mr. Dumont came back before the Board to discuss his proposed 6 lot open space development with a separate 7th lot on Short Falls Road . Mr. Brehm stated that Mr. Monahan from CNHRPC has had the opportunity to review the plan along with consult the Town Attorney on a few matters. A memo was provided by Mr. Monahan outlining some questions and concerns for the Board. Some of the items he suggested being addressed were:
- How the number of units was derived (seeking calculation).
- Creating a private road to be potentially taken over by the Town
- Creating a Home Owners Association.
- How the open space will be managed and proposed use.
- If the applicant will have to seek a variance for removing road frontage from the open space area.
- If the Board will require upgrades to Short Falls Road.
The Board discussed these issues and Mr. Brehm stated he would set up a meeting with the Town Attorney to discuss them in length.
Mr. Williams read a disclaimer to be entered into the minutes: Jackson V. Ray, the Planning Board approval of a street does not constitute acceptance as a highway or guarantee that the Town will ever take over responsibility for the street.
The Board took a poll of whether or not they would like to see a new road be private or taken over by the Town.
