Subdivision
Map 1, Lot 5, Short Falls Road
Mr. Dumont and Mr. Randy Brown presented the Board with plans for this subdivision. A question arose about the 100-foot setback from any land use change. Chairman Scott explained that we are holding to the wording of the zoning on, “any land use change”, and a septic system is a change, therefore it is considered in the 100 foot setback. We have followed that rule and will continue to follow it until the Zoning can be changed in March 2005.
The existing Short Falls Road needs to be reviewed by the Town engineer.
Wetlands scientists stamp needs to be on the plan as well as a planning board signature block.
Public Hearing set for September 2, 2004, Escrow account will be set at $1,500.00.

DISCUSSION: Paul & Patricia Nicolaisen
Multi Unit Home
Map 3, Lot 38-4, Harvest Road
Mr. & Mrs. Nicolaisen presented the Board with drawings of how they would like to proceed with their property and build a garage with apartment upstairs and attach it to the main house. The Board was in agreement that the property meets the requirement of frontage and acreage.
Concerns about multi unit when this area was intended for single family homes. The Selectmen would have to decide on the impact fee issue and building permit. If this property is grandfathered for a single-family residence do they need to get inline for a permit for the second unit and are they in fact grandfathered on the impact fee for the second unit.

DISCUSSION: Mike Cooney – Concord Motorsports
Map 4, Lot 166, Dover Road
Mr. Cooney was asked to submit a Plan of the existing property for recording at the Registry of Deeds, the plan submitted was just the buildings. The Board requested that his surveyor add the following items: pavement, parking, signage, signature block, dimensions of the buildings and eliminate the line and wording of the proposed addition.
When the plans arrive Chairman Scott will review and they will be recorded.
DISCUSSION: New Items
Driveway permits. Richard will put a draft together for board approval next month.
Motion was made to accept the minutes of the Non public meeting of July 20, 2004.
DeBold/Lawrence (Passed)
The minutes were signed by Chairman Scott to be delivered to the Selectmen for their approval.
Office hours: Should this be something to look into, there seem to be a lot of people around during the day.
Master Plan needs to be printed. The Board thought that Richard was going to have it done, apparently the money in the warrant was only for 2003, Andrea to review her budget and see what can be done, we just might not be able to have as many bound covered copies as suggested.
Again there are lighting issues and Richard will work on the wording to try to correct.
Letter to be sent to the Selectmen, on Avcomm – Cronis property paving and rentals. Martineau paving, temporary signs at Chichester Commons on Route 4 and Holmes Carpets on Route 28.
