7:20 Sawmill Estates request for subdivision extension
Gene Mitchell addressed the board requesting an extension of the time in which he has to complete conditional items for final approval of the subdivision plan. He received a six month extension on Sept 10, 2008 and has not received state approval of the subdivision to date, which he needs for final approval. His extension would expire on March 10, 2009 and he would be required to begin the entire process again. The subdivision ordinance allows a second extension at the Board’s discretion. Following a brief discussion, Mr. Mitchell submitted a written request, as required by the ordinance.
M. Borden moved to grant the extension. BMarshall seconded the motion. The vote was 3 ayes (MBorden, BMarshall, KO’Connell) and 1 abstention (JAdams). The motion carried.
7:45 Preliminary Conceptual Consultation with Peter Davenport-Delay’s Market
After Chairman Morris described the non-binding nature of the Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for both parties, Mr. Davenport proceeded to give an overview of his vision for improvements to the property. He proposes to expand the size of the store by (2000+ sq ft.) with most expansion being toward the back of the property on the Town Septic system side. He realizes that he would need a variance to do so. In addition, he feels that he needs to clarify the parking issues at the store which are confusing and not well defined. He suggested that he might be interested in a potential use of the adjacent lot to the west of the parking lot, which could include self storage units. He also suggested that he might use part of the store for an Ice Cream stand. The Board expressed a strong interest in resolution of the parking issues and suggested
that a real opportunity existed to expand service to the public and enhance the downtown area aesthetically with this proposal, in light of the recent town investments in downtown infrastructure. Following a lengthy discussion, a Site Plan Review Hearing was scheduled for April 13 at 7:30 p.m.
