REPRESENTATIONS TO BOARD:
1. The applicant requested Site Plan Approval to allow the construction of a 13 foot by 63 foot storage and oil tank room to the right side of the club house. The club is located in a Residence AA District.
2. The room will have three block walls with a shingled roof. Access to the room will be mainly from an outside entrance. The inside entrance will have a deadbolt lock.
3. The applicant asked if the board would entertain a request to add a second floor over the new storage area and was advised a new hearing would be required because the second floor was not included in the paid advertisement.
4. The Planning Board had no comment on the proposal.
5. The Board voted to waive the requirements of Sections VII.F.2. and VII.F.3 of the Zoning Bylaw as allowed for unusually simple circumstances.
FINDINGS:
With regard to the Site Plan:
The Board finds that the proposal provides adequate access to each structure for fire and service equipment and adequate provision for utilities and storm
water drainage consistent with the functional requirements of the Planning Board’s Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
The premises is located considering the qualities of the specific location, the proposed land use, the design of building form, grading, egress points, and other aspects of the development, so as to:
a. minimize the volume of cut and fill, the number of removed trees 6” caliper or larger, the length of removed stone walls, the area of wetland vegetation
displaced, the extent of storm water flow increase from the site, soil erosion, and threat of air and water pollution;
b. maximize pedestrian and vehicular safety both on the site and egressing from it;
c. minimize obstruction of scenic views from publicly accessible locations;

h. minimize contamination of groundwater from on-site wastewater disposal systems or operations on the premises involving the use, storage, handling, or containment of hazardous substances.
