CONCRETE PRODUCTS OF LONDONDERRY:
Mr. Stratis said that he was representing Concrete Products of Londonderry.
Mr. Gylfphe made a motion to extend the Concrete Products of Londonderry Phase I time limit until March 15, 2011. Ms. Jones seconded the motion.
Mr. Booth asked what the plan would be for Phase II. Mr. Stratis said that they needed to reseed the first phase before they did the second phase. He said that Phase I had not been completed yet. Mr. Smith read the original conditions that had been set up by the Planning Board when the plan had been approved. Mr. Stratis said that the company had built the berm with material that was on site and he said that there was a gate in place. Mr. Smith asked if the bond was going to be valid. Mr. Gylfphe said that the performance bond was a part of the extension.
Mr. Gylfphe restated his motion to extend the Concrete Products of Londonderry Phase I time limit and performance bond with the original bond amount until March 15, 2011.
Mr. Smith emphasized that the original bond amount would be the amount extended until the new date of March 15, 2011. He also stated that no new mining should take place until the Planning Board got confirmation that the bond was in place. Ms. Bonser asked if there were safety concerns at the pit. Mr. Stratis said no. Mr. Stratis asked if the company needed to put up any signage. Mr. Smith said that it might be a good idea for them to put up a "No Trespassing" sign. Ms. Bonser noted that would be a shame for hunters. Mr. Smith said that the original bond had run out on October 15, 2005.
The present members of the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion to extend the Phase I time limit and the performance bond with the original amount for Concrete Products of Londonderry until March 15, 2011. The motion passed 5-0.
Mr. Smith suggested that the company have 1 "No Trespassing" sign located on their gate. Mr. Stratis said that a sign there in the past might have fallen off and he would put it back.
Mr. Stratis said that he had another question. He said that Concrete Products of Londonderry had a plant on Route 4 at 160 Old Turnpike Road and they would like to put up a sign. Mr. Gylfphe said that they could put up one commercial sign that was 32 square feet. Ms. Bonser said that the maximum height should not exceed 15 feet.
OTHER:
Mr. Smith said that the timing and phasing ordinance should go with the subdivision regulations as an attachment.
Ms. Bonser asked if someone wanted a lighted sign whether they would need to go to the ZBA. Mr. Smith said yes. He said that the area which wanted a lighted sign would need to be zoned commercial.
The Board discussed when they could have a public hearing about cistern regulations. Mr. Smith said that the suggested time table was to ask the Fire Department to speak with the Planning Board on April 5, 2006 at 7:15pm and then plan the public hearing for April 19, 2006 at 7:15pm. The Board noted that was only a suggested time table and might be changed based on the needs of the Fire Department.
Mr. Gylfphe made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:45pm. Ms. Bonser seconded the motion. The present members of the Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Kelly Tivnan
Planning Board Secretary
