PUBLIC HEARING-GILLESPIE SUBDIVISION:
OTHERS PRESENT: Mr. Brett Gillespie, Mr. David Mott
Mr. Mott said that Ms. Copeland had reviewed their application the previous day. He said that the driveway permit had been approved and the number was on the plan. He said that the applicant had gotten a letter from the Fire Department. He said that the bound was offset from the corner and on the lot line. He said that in response to the Board's request that he put recent survey's on the plan he had put the recorded plan numbers from the property across the street and from the area where the cell towers were. He said that those areas had both been surveyed. He said that the proposed lot was completely within the commercial/ industrial zone. He reminded the Board that Mr. Gillespie was subdividing because his house had been destroyed by fire. He said that he had looked on the cell tower road and
he had not found any culverts. He pointed out Note 3A on the plan and he said that the applicant had gotten new 911 numbers. He said that the remaining land owned by the applicant would stay 165 and the new house would be 175. Ms. Copeland said that it looked like Mr. Mott had addressed all the issues in her report.
Mr. Gylfphe noted that the plan did not include a wetlands stamp. He said that it would need to before the Planning Board could approve it. Mr. Caron said that some of the symbols in the legend were not used on the plan. Mr. Mott said that the plan had a standard legend. Mr. Caron said that he did not think the legend should include symbols that were not used on the plan. Mr. Smith read the letter from the Fire Department out loud. It stated that the house had already been built so there were no enforceable regulations for fire protection. Mr. Caron asked what restrictions the Planning Board would put on the remaining land as far as subdivision. Mr. Gillespie said that he had not made a final decision regarding future development of his property.
Mr. Gylfphe made a motion to accept the application for the Gillespie subdivision. Mr. Caron seconded the motion. The present members of the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion. The motion passed 4-0.
Mr. Smith read the request for waivers that the applicant had submitted.
Mr. Gylfphe made a motion to accept all three waivers. Ms. Bonser seconded the motion.
Mr. Caron said that he had an issue with waiving the full perimeter survey. He said that he did not object to either of the other two waiver requests. Ms. Bonser said that the Planning Board had discussed the idea of waiving the perimeter survey extensively. She said that Mr. Gillespie had a very large parcel of land, the full perimeter survey would be costly and the Planning Board was familiar with Mr. Gillespie's property.
Ms. Bonser, Mr. Smith and Mr Gylfphe voted in favor of accepting the requested waivers. Mr. Caron voted against accepting the requested waivers. The motion passed 3-1.
Mr. Gylfphe made a motion to recess the application for Mr. Gillespie until February 1, 2006 at 7:15pm. Ms. Bonser seconded the motion.
Mr. Smith noted that the Planning Board had decided to do a site walk of the Gillespie property on January 28, 2006 at 9:00am.
Mr. Mott ran through a list of things he needed to have prepared before February 1, 2006. The list included a mylar, a wetlands stamp, the closest utility pole and the wetlands permit.
The present members of the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion to recess the Gillespie subdivision application until February 1, 2006 at 7:15pm. The motion passed 4-0.
