Meeting with Mr. Haithcock of White Pine Builders:
Mr. Haithcock met with the board and presented us with a Proposal for Greenfield Planning Board. He asks that we recommend to the Building Department that a permit be issued so that he can build a house on lot R9-3-1. He wants us to confirm that the 40 acre lot is deemed a conforming lot. He has met with the DOT and Mr. Leishman of the railroad who have agreed that he can have a crossing over the tracks. There is no frontage on Forest Road but he would like to put in either a right of way through lots R9-3-3 and R9-3-4 or annex 60 feet of frontage from R9-3-3. The board voted unanimously that this lot is a non-conforming lot, although it is a lot of record, and needs to go to the ZBA.
Hearing for Changes or Additions to the Zoning Regulations:
On September 27 we will hold a hearing at 7:30 p.m. on changes to the Zoning Regulations which we hope to place on the November ballot for the town to vote on. The two items to be discussed are a Steep Slopes Ordinance and changes to Section III. Districts. We made slight revisions to the drafts and agreed that these were ready to be presented to the public.
Hearing for Changes or Additions to the Subdivision Regulations:
On October 18 at 7:30 p.m. we will hold a hearing on changing the Rules of Procedure for the Greenfield NH Planning Board as well as adding an ordinance on Driveway Regulations. The proposed lot dimensioning ordinance needs more study and has been tabled until a future date. After minor changes the board agreed that these were ready to be presented to the public.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
