Planning Board minutes for Monday November 24, 2014
The meeting opened at 7:06 p.m.
Members present: Alan Salamon, Larry Klein, Barry Karson, Stephen Enoch, co-chair, Roger Tryon, Maggie Leonard, co-chair. Board member Tom Sawyer attended the meeting via phone.
Public present: Attorney Peter Vallianos, and Mike Parsons for Kelly Granger and Parsons.
Vallianos and Parsons presented a Form A plan for Murray Bodin and Laurel Hill Revocable Living Trust to convey 0.797 acres to his abutter, Ahye. The lot being conveyed does not meet zoning minimums and has no road frontage. There is a note on the plan that the conveyed lot is not to be considered a building lot. The remaining land of Boden exceeds zoning minimums and his road frontage was not affected by the conveyance. The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve the plan, which was signed, and a check for $40 was received.
The minutes from 10-9-14 were read and were unanimously accepted as amended.
Leonard informed the board that the ZBA formally submitted their list of zoning bylaw changes to the Select Board on November 10, 2014. The Planning Board must hold a public hearing within 65 days. The board agreed to hold the public hearing on Thursday January 8, 2015 with a weather date of Monday January 12, 2015. The board requested that Leonard email the suggested changes to the Building Commissioner.
The board was informed that Mark Bobrowski, an expert in land use law, charges $250 per hour. The Planning Board would like to consult with Bobrowski regarding the Hume Camp expansion and to discuss non-conforming uses with both him and the ZBA at the same time. We also discussed asking the ZBA to split the cost with the Planning Board.
The board discussed the letter that Bettina Schwartz emailed to the board. Schwartz is a resident of Cronk Rd and neighbor of Hume Camp. Please see letter attached. The board voted to write a simple response to the email with 4 members in favor, 2 members against, and one member abstaining. The board requested that the email be sent to all board members for editing prior to sending it as a reply.
The board continued to work on the 4th draft of the ADU bylaw. We agreed to add: “Only one unit may be rented at any time.” Leonard agreed to print two copies for the next meeting; one with the strikethroughs and one with no marks.
Super-bummer; Barry Karson is resigning from the Planning Board due to a change in residency as of December 31, 2014.
The mail was opened.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Maggie Leonard, co-chair
