7:55pm
The PB discusses the email from Catherine regarding lot numbering for Sawmill Estates. She questions if a subdivision should trigger a new tax map. MSteere asks if there is a cost associated with initiating a new tax map. The PB enters into a general discussion regarding the town maps process. JAdams will look into what costs may be associated with adding a new page. BMarshall suggests checking with other towns and possibly adding this to the subdivision regulations, with the added cost being born by the applicant. The consensus of the PB is to keep the tax map lot numbering the same, as a record of its subdivision history. Secondly, the PB will look at what other towns do and potentially add criteria to the subdivision regulations for next year.
8:20pm
The PB is rescheduling the May 25, 2009 regular meeting (due to the holiday) to May 18, 2009. KO'Connell will notice a new public hearing for the site plan review for the Cingular PCS tower for May 18, 2009. KO’Connell will also notice all the surrounding towns.
KO’Connell will try to notice a public hearing (the deadline for the Ledger was today) for the NEW 783 Forest Road Properties, LLC (formally known as DeLay’s Market) site plan review for May 11, 2009.
8:38pm
Preliminary Conceptual Consultation for Bob Marshall.
BMarshall is acting as a member of the public for this portion of tonight’s meeting. GMorris reviews the procedures for a PCC. The Marshalls are interested in starting an internet book selling business. BMarshall would go out and purchase inventory and then sell it through the internet. He would like to know if he would need to request a site plan review for this business. This plan would not require any additional structures. There is a planned addition of a 2-car garage to replace the barn that is lived past its usefulness and this has nothing to do with the business. MSteere feels that this will not disturb the neighborhood or change anything in the area thus it does not require a site plan review. The PB discusses establishing a specific criteria regarding home based business and/or
change of use regarding site plan reviews. MSteere suggests that to inspire people to register a home based business, there should be some sort of form or application of record issued in instances of home based businesses that do not trigger a site plan review. The PB discusses this option. A letter should be generated or language should be recorded as ‘xxx has permission to operate a home based business as outlined below’. JAdams will ask the BOS if a numbering system for Home Based Businesses should be developed.
The board feels that BMarshall’s current plans do not trigger the need for a site plan review. BMarshall will prepare a formal letter for the PB.
9:18pm
GMorris asks if the PB feels that Carol Ogilvie should be consulted for the Cingular PCS, LLC cell tower site plan application. The PB feels that Ogilvie should look over the plan. JAdams asks if the PB needs to notice the abutting towns.
9:20pm
The PB discusses updating of the Greenfield Master Plan. GMorris states that only certain areas need to change. BMarshall suggests that the chapter titled Future Land Use Plan be updated as well. JFletcher states that the public needs to be involved in the updates in some way. The PB vehemently agrees.
9:34pm
BMarshall discusses the cleaning up of the meeting area, BMarshall offers to clean up the space working with Deb Davidson. The PB agrees and voices their appreciation for BMarshall’s offer.
9:37pm
GMorris discusses the agendas for the next two PB meetings, May 11, 2009 and May 18, 2009.
9:41pm
MSteere moves that the meeting be adjourned, JFletcher seconds, no discussion, all in favor, the motion passes.
