Conceptual Review: Possible Lot Line Adjustment Tax Map 69 Lot 8 & 10, Nelson Sherman
Mr. Sherman presented a rough sketch of the two properties he owns adjacent to each other. One is currently zoned as commercial and is known as the Quimby Gravel Pit. He noted all the details of the properties including the conservation areas that surround them. The Board discussed and questioned Mr. Sherman. Mr. Sherman also discussed the proposed lot line adjustment.
Mr. Sherman added that his reason for pursuing the Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) was to allow for his current home to be residential which would allow him to receive a mortgage on the property to build a garage and porch. He noted that he had been turned down by three banks. Mr. Sherman discussed in detail his reclamation of the property to date, the areas in current use and eventual intentions with both properties. There was discussion by the Board on if a LLA or a subdivision was needed. Mr. Colby read the definition of a LLA in the town’s Zoning Ordinance.
After a discussion, the Board and Mr. Colby agreed that it was a LLA that was needed. It was also noted that both properties have no frontage so it can not be subdivided. Mr. Colby noted that it wasn’t a non conforming lot because it would have a 50’ right of way for both lots, after the proposed LLA. Mr. Sherman explained where the new lot line would go in relationship to the house and keeping all the setbacks into consideration. Mr. Sherman also showed what areas are in current use now and which areas of his property would eventually be put into current use as well. Discussion continued on the large abutting properties that are conservation land or are becoming conservation land. They briefly touched on the water quality and concern for the wetlands next to the river. Mr. Sherman explained that he has
experience in reclamation and reviewed his plan for proper water flow and protection of the existing pond and river. Chair Stockus called for additional comments or questions from the Board. There was none. Mr. Sherman thanked the Board. Mrs. Sears noted a related letter from the DES noting that the 6 year reclamation plan for this commercial property had been properly filed. Mr. Sherman acknowledged the letter noting it was required for the commercial side of the property.

Chair Stockus updated the Board on his meeting with the Budget Committee. Chair Stockus noted there were minor questions but no changes. The proposed Planning Board budget stayed as the Board had discussed with the Planning Board’s total of $34,915.00.
