PUBLIC HEARING-GILLESPIE:
OTHERS PRESENT: Mr. David Mott, Mr. Brett Gillespie
At 7:15pm the Chair called to order the public hearing for the Gillespie 2 lot subdivision application.
Mr. David Mott introduced himself and said that he was from Crown Point Survey. He said that Mr. Gillespie's property was on Route 4 and it had 2 acres as well as the minimum frontage necessary for a subdivision. He said that Mr. Gillespie wanted to divide 5.01 acres from his total of 81.65 acres which he said would make a total of 76.6 remaining acres. He said that the buildable area was 255 square feet by 302 square feet. He said that the wetlands were flagged. He said that there would be 676 square feet of wetland impact. He said that the wetland crossing would need to be on the driveway. He said that the house was under construction because Mr. Gillespie's previous residence had been destroyed by fire. He said that the septic system had been approved and there was a drilled well on the
property. He said that the wetlands and dredge and fill permits were still outstanding. Mr. Curry said that the Planning Board either needed a topography waiver request or a plan which included the full topography of Mr. Gillespie's property. Mr. Smith said that the Planning Board needed an impact statement and a letter from the Fire Department. Mr. Curry said that the purpose of the full topography was to ensure that the applicant had a buildable lot. Mr. Gylfphe said that all the new corners needed to have granite bounds. Mr. Mott said that the applicant did not want to disturb the monument which they had found in the process of surveying the property. Mr. Smith suggested that an off set bound could be used or a brass disk could be put into the stone wall. Mr. Seaverns suggested that Mr. Mott could put the surveyors mark on the plan from the cap which they had found. Mr. Curry said that there was no survey of the property on
record. He said that made him nervous. He said that the Planning Board should want the applicant to do a full perimeter survey. Mr. Gylfphe noted that Inland Acres had put in the previous monument. He said that Inland Acres was not known for their accuracy of survey. Mr. Mott said that Crown Point had just been referencing Inland Acres, they had not been using their survey information. He said that he had done the survey for Crown Point. Ms. Bonser read out loud the request for a topography waiver. Mr. Curry said that the applicant needed 911 numbers, a topography waiver request, an impact statement and a letter from the Fire Department. Ms. Bonser said that the Strafford Regional Planning Commission should review the application. Mr. Smith asked if the surveyor could put the numbers of recent recorded surveys for abutting properties on the plan.
Ms. Bonser made a motion to recess the Gillespie application until 7:15pm on January 18, 2006.
Mr. Mott asked the Planning Board to clarify the bond question. Mr. Curry read from the RSA's. Ms. Bonser said that Mr. Mott could put the surveyor name and number from the found monument on the plan. Mr. Smith said that granite bounds should be set on all new corners. Mr. Gylfphe noted the location of the existing bound. Mr. Mott noted that the existing drill hole was 138 feet beyond the monument. Mr. Smith said that the marking had to be either in the wall or in the form of an offset granite bound. Mr. Seaverns noted that the applicant did not want to move what was on the property already. Ms. Bonser suggested the applicant go with the offset bound. Mr. Curry clarified for the applicant why they needed to get a letter from the Fire Department.
Ms. Bonser repeated her motion that the Board recess this application until 7:15pm on January 18, 2006. Mr. Curry seconded the motion. The present members of the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion. The motion passed 5-0.

Mr. Gylfphe said that almost every town banned portable signs. He said that the town needed a simple sign ordinance. Mr. Curry said that he did not want to vote on regulations in a hurry.
