TOWN OF CHICHESTER PLANNING BOARD MEETING 3/3/05 PAGE 4
DISCUSSION: David Hartley
Sign Modifications, Lighting
Blueberry Hill Plaza
Map 9, Lot 91A, Suncook Valley Road
Mr. Hartley came to the Board because the internal illuminations for signs states 60 watts of light and he feels that this must be a mistake and would like the Board to review the ordinance. Mr. Hartley makes and installs signs for a living and 60 watts is unheard of, the amount of light emitted from a 60 watt bulb would be unable to illuminate much if any of a large sign. The Board agreed with Mr. Hartley and will review the ordinance.
Mr. Hartley also shared a proposed sign that he would consider constructing if he purchases the property on Route 28, the Board liked the proposal. Mr. Hartley will contact the Board when he is ready to discuss the sign in detail.
DISCUSSION: Jim Tucker/Super Shoes
Lighting
Map 2, Lot 78, Dover Road
Mr. Tucker would like to place florescent lights under the eves of the building for safety and aesthetic purposes. Right now the handicapped ramp has no additional lighting and during the open evening hours it is a concern of the owners that the area is not well lit.
Mr. Tucker is aware of the lighting ordinance and he will remain under the maximum lumens required in the zoning, he will also be required to remove the florescence signs in the windows, and he agrees to this also.
DISCUSSION: Joe Austin
Building Model
Map 3, Lot 68, Dover Road
Mr. Austin has come to the Board for several issues, one is he would like to remove one of the units out of the existing house and add a new building to the plan. No additional units are being added, but a new structure is being added. The Board was in agreement that he must go to public hearing so his abutters are notified. Mr. Austin understands that he must have the new plans and updated abutters listing to the secretary by the 10th of March in order to be on the agenda for Public Hearing in April.
He also will be changing the name of the development and the Board suggested that the new name be on the new plan.

Second he would like to build the model out now, he did state that someone will eventually live in the model after all the homes are built and sold, therefore the Board requests that funds be put in escrow to cover impact fees and stipulation on the building permit that no occupancy permit for a residence will be issued until all homes are sold and the unit can then be converted only if there are residential permits available just as if it were a new home. The occupancy permit issued for the model must state for the model purposes only. The building permit cannot be issued until the Board has seen the Attorney General’s Office agreement and final plans have been signed.
Mr. Austin is still waiting for the Attorney General’s Office on the condo agreement and now with the change in the name the agreement will take longer.
Mr. Austin will let the secretary know when he would like to continue to Public Hearing.
