Mr. Longueil stated he is looking to subdivide a 26 acre lot which fronts Cooper Hill Road. He reminded the members of the board that the frontage along Cooper Hill Road is wetlands. He proposes to access two of the lots off of a private road, North River Lake Road, with one of the driveways being in Nottingham and the other in Northwood. His proposal for the third lot was through a shared driveway with an existing residence in Northwood.
Ms. Bonser stated that he would have to go before the ZBA for a variance to Article VI Section A, for the driveways.

Chair Smith informed everyone that he had received some letters to read for the record. He read a new letter from Attorney Teague, stating that Attorney Teague concurred that the road in question from the previous meeting was White’s Grove Road and not Barderry. The other was from the Fernalds, who own Barderry Lane, which stated that they did not want to approve another driveway access off of Barderry Lane at this time.
Mr. Dingman stated that the applicant was planning to apply to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for driveway access. They are going to apply for a shared driveway with Lot 80-1. Chair Smith stated that the Planning Board would need to recess the meeting until the applicant had a chance to apply and appear before the ZBA.
Mr. Dingman inquired as to how the Planning Board will proceed if the applicant is granted a variance from the ZBA. Mr. Gylfphe and Chair Smith noted that the plat looks good as far as uplands and buildable area. Going through issues raised by Strafford Regional Planning Commission’s Completeness Review, Chair Smith asked Mr. Dingman to show the rock walls on the plat, as well as, two test pits within the 4K area. Ms. Beauchamp noted that an iron pin is also missing from the corner of Route 156/Raymond Road and Barderry Lane. Mr. Dingman stated that the pin is physically missing. He found previous drill holes, however, there was no pin. Ms. Beauchamp asked if Mr. Dingman intended to set a new one. Mr. Dingman stated he would if the Board required them to do so.

Mr. Ladd stated that he could do nothing regarding the last outstanding issue of the lot line between proposed Lots 31-11 and 31-12, adding that this is caused by the realigning of the road.

Mr. Gylfphe stated under site plan review, Ms. Anderson should bring in a perimeter survey. Ms. Anderson asked if she could bring a copy of the tax map.

At Mr. Gylfphe’s inquiry, Ms. Anderson stated that she does not have customers come to her house. Her only reason for being here is because she wants to put up a sign.
