Public Meetings/Hearings:
Case #P11-07-SIT (continued) Application from James S. & Linda R. Fernald for acceptance, compliance review, and final approval of site plan review to allow the leasing of .5 acre for commercial propane tank to Rymes Heating. The property in question is located at 240 Stage Road and is identified as Tax Map 29 Lot 8-1.
Chair Stockus opened the first case and noted this case was continued to allow the Town Attorney to give his opinion on whether the applicant would need to apply to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for a variance. Chair Stockus read the Attorney Teague’s opinion letter dated December 22, 2011 stating that he believes they are required to go to the ZBA because this new use, of LP Gas, is not an accessory use of the original business.
MOTION by Ms. Mooney to refer this case to the ZBA for their review.

Chair Stockus acknowledged the receipt of Mr. Sherman’s response (dated December 7, 2011). Chair Stockus also commented on how SFC had stated that they believe they are a retail facility and are not required to submit an EPA analysis (items 25-30). Chair Stockus noted that this is a bulk plant operation that only Rymes employees will have access to therefore that is not a retail operation. He asked this issue be addressed further by SFC and or provide the EPA report as Mr. Sherman originally requested.
Chair Stockus acknowledged receipt of the Fire Chief’s letter (dated December 28, 2011). Mr. Fernald noted he would come in the office to get the ZBA application in the morning. Mrs. Sears confirmed with Mr. Fernald that he would address the need for more escrow funds upon the results of the ZBA case.
Chair Stockus acknowledged the receipt of email with a question from a resident on the Lamprey River Advisory Board. It asked: Is this site within a 1/4 mile (1,320 feet) of the North River? ~If so any impacts to the watershed need to be addressed. Chair Stockus acknowledged that this issue was raised by Mr. Sherman too and noted that they would need that answer from SFC as well.
MOTION by Ms. Mooney to recess this case (P11-07-SIT) until February 22, 2011 at 7:15pm.

Gerrior Lane Trust- release of surety
Mrs. Sears noted this was on the agenda prematurely. She gave a brief update of this project and the procedures noting that she is waiting on more information from the engineer before she can ask the Board to release these funds. She added that at the time of the posting of the agenda she had hope to have everything from the applicant but she does not.
Rocky Hill Subdivision-end of 90-day extension approval
Mrs. Sears noted that the project had been extended until Dec. 21, 2011 pending state permits which the applicant had submitted on Dec. 27th. She noted that she has all the plans, mylar, recording fees, copies of all permits but doesn’t have the money for the escrow account that is required before she can have the Board sign and she can record the plans.
The Board discussed and noted that a letter to the applicant stating that the town needs the escrow account set up and funded before any plans are recorded was all that was required at this point. They agreed that the applicant had met their deadline for approval.
Other Business
The Board briefly reviewed their up coming meeting schedule/agendas. Mrs. Sears will contact Mr. Mettee to see if he can attend the February 8th meeting. The Board will have public meetings on January 18th and February 1 for the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance. They will review the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) at the January 25th meeting. They will review four Master Plan Chapters at the January 11th meeting.
