The subject property is owned by applicants and is located on 220 R Raymond Road.
Mr. Gylfphe discussed his site visit noting that the bounds have not been set as it states on the plan. He also noted that there is a letter from McEneaney Survey Associates, Inc. (dated January 14, 2011) stating that the monuments will be set in spring once ground conditions have improved, followed by a letter certifying its completion. Ms. Sears asked Mr. Colby if a completeness or compliance review was done for this case as requested via email. Mr. Colby stated that he had not done one but that it meets all the town requirements for a lot line adjustment.
The Board reviewed the plans and discussed briefly. Chair Stockus called for questions from the Board. There was none. No abutters were present.
MOTION by Mr. Gylfphe to approve this application for a lot line adjustment for case P11-01-LLA for Sherman Intervivos Family Trust with the condition that bounds are set by May 1, 2011.

Mr. Coronati updated the Board with the latest on the engineering review process. Mr. Coronati reviewed, with the Board, in detail, the second letter with findings from Edwin Minnick from Rockingham County Conservation District (RCCD) dated January 31, 2011. Issues noted were:
- Amount of traffic during construction and the estimated amount of time to take to complete the driveway/roadway. The Board made no changes or suggestions on this issue.
- RCCD’s suggestions for drainage and slope/grade conditions, plan corrections (drafting details), etc., that Mr. Coronati agreed to statisfy.
- Driveway/roadway maintenance – Mr. Coronati agreed that the maintenance of this will be that of the Home Owners’ Association (privately owned) and not the responsibility of the Town. A note on the plan reflecting such will be added.
- Mr. Coronati is still working with the Department of Transportation (DOT) for the Driveway permit.
- Mr. Coronati agreed that after conditional approval and before final approval and the recording of the plan the lots will be merged and that will also be noted on the plan.
Chair Stockus asked Mr. Colby to discuss his previous completeness review. He noted that all of his suggestions from his review (memo dated January 11, 2011), were completed and that he recommends approval. Outstanding permits were discussed. Mr. Coronati noted that only the DOT permit is still outstanding. Ms. Mooney confirmed that the drainage for the driveway on Unit #9 flooding the unit. Mr. Coronati explained and confirmed that it wouldn’t be an issue.
There was a brief discussion of ownership of the property. Mrs. Sears noted that the ownership had changed in the middle of the application process but that she tried to keep the old name on the notices so that the public could still follow the case. The applicants have not changed they are still Jeff & Marilyn Cole. The timing of the voluntary lot merger was discussed.
