TOWN OF CHICHESTER PLANNING BOARD MINUTES OF MEETING 7/7/05 PAGE 2
Tracy Sweeney, from Richard Bartlett and Associates, presented the plans for the subdivision. The Board reviewed a letter from the towns’ attorney and Bill Rollins, town engineer was present.
Mr. Rollins felt that Steve Pernow presented the town with a traffic count not a traffic study, Volmer Associates focused on a traffic study and feels that the amount of trips a day will be closer to 300 and Andre from Volmer (traffic engineer) feels that a lot more trips will be heading west toward Concord. Volmer is in agreement with the Board in regards to the traffic moving toward Hillview Drive and will not choose to go out onto Route 4. The discussion consisted of the impact on these roads in Five Hill Estates, Smith Sanborn is a scenic road and it has several site distance issues along with areas that would need widening. Hillview Drive has some very sharp curves and the road in some areas are narrow.
Epsom Planning Board would like to work with Chichester to move forward with this subdivision. Chichester Planning Board is in agreement and would like to make sure all of Chichester’s issues are addressed and solved before final approval is granted. The Selectmen in Chichester will have the final say as to if the two roads will be attached or not and that takes a public hearing.
The Board was in agreement that the developer should contact State of New Hampshire, Department of Transportation, District 5 in Hooksett again concerning the traffic entering Route 4 at Smith Sanborn Road and at their proposed new enterance onto Route 4.
This proposed subdivision can have 6 house lots if no connection is made to Hillview drive in Chichester, but if the connection is made then 26 house lots would be created by this proposal.
Questions and concerns of neighbors and abutters were heard.
Canterbury Cove is willing to work with Chichester on the infrastructure to assure that the roads will adequately service the increase in traffic.
Further discussion will take place after the town engineer has reviewed the surrounding roads.

The Merrills are interested in the discussion on Conservation Open Space Development for this property. The configuration of the road system is pleasing to the fire department.
