DESIGN REVIEW: Jim Mullaney
22 Lot Subdivision
Map 2, Lot 51, Horse Corner Road
Abutters: None
Webb Stout presented the Board with plans on this site. The road will be named Devon Drive. For reference this is the Walter Mobbs property.
Test pits have been done on all of the lots. The road has been changes slightly and they have put in a hammerhead on the end of the road where it meets the other piece of property Mr. Mullaney proposes to purchase. The Board was in agreement that the end of the road needs to be a cul-de-sac, hammerheads are not accepted in our zoning.
The fire department needs to look at this development from a safety point of view, water supply, incase of fire, do they need cisterns or a pond. We need to look at this road as a dead end road, which could happen even though that is not the plan of Mr. Mullaney.
The plan is to have the whole site approved all the lots will be site specific and if the market decreased then the road may only be built half way, Mr. Stout liked the idea of phasing as an option that could be discussed with the Board. The Board was in agreement that phasing of the project was a good idea for minimal impact to the town services. Phasing the Board would be looking at a third, 6 to 7 houses a year. Impact fees were discussed at $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 per lot.
This will be a 2-acre lot subdivision and there will be no room for public open space, Mr. Stout did offer that Mr. Mullaney was looking at some possibilities for recreation area. Pedestrian walk around the parameter of the property, bike path (non-motorized). Looking for a separate piece of property designated to the town for a ball field.
Members of the Board felt it made more sense to build a ball field instead of having a walkway around the development.
An escrow account of $2,000.00 was requested. Mr. Stout will deliver the plans to Bill Rollins at SEA Consultants for his review.
DISCUSSION: Dick Kettenger
His Ferrin Road Property
Map 7, Lot 18, Ferrin Road
Mr. Kettenger would like to sell his property on Ferrin Road; the problem is there is only a 50-foot right-of-way to the property and no road frontage. The Board explained that if the deeded right-of-way was given before 1963 when zoning was put in force it would be grandfathered and he could use it as a buildable lot. He would need to prove the right-of –way was there before zoning in 1963.
