Discussion with Dan Giroux and Ron LePlume Re: Sale of Vehicle at 119 Newton Road
Mr. LePlume and Mr. Giroux were present at the meeting. They discussed the fact that in order for Mr. Giroux to obtain a broker/retail dealer’s license from the State of NH, he must have the business located in a commercial district. Therefore, Mr. Giroux is proposing to utilize a portion of Ron LePlume’s property located at 119 Newton Road (Route 108) to display one vehicle at a time. He will also be adding a sign to the existing pylon advertising the car sales business.
The Planning Board instructed Mr. Giroux to prepare a minor site plan application and a modified site plan showing where the vehicle will be displayed and notes on the plan regarding this new business. Mr. LePlume and Mr. Giroux agreed to meet these requirements and will come back to the Planning Board with the information for approval.
Review of Written Request to Send Applicant to the ZBA for Property Located at 22
Witch Lane Totaling 7.10 Acres.
The Planning Board reviewed the letter and plan excerpt included in their packets with regards to the request to be sent to the ZBA. The procedure is that this will be handled as an administrative appeal of the decision by the Planning Board.
Peter Bealo made a motion, Charlie Lanza seconded, to deny the development proposal at 22 Witch Lane as a Planned Residential Development (PRD) based on the failure of the project to conform to the Article VI, Section 220-47, General Requirements, Letter A., which specifically requires that the land being proposed for the development be at least 10 acres.
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY THE PLANNING BOARD (4-0-0).
Bob Gray specifically asked that the applicant come back with a Preliminary Plan Application showing more details of the development.

He will be a junior next year at the University of New England. He is helping with the preparation of the presentation and associated arrangements for the June 16th Master Plan Update Forum.
Leigh Komornick said that a notice had been posted as a Legal Notice with the Eagle Tribune and that a separate newspaper article fully disclosing information on the meeting and the importance of having good attendance was also going to be included in one issue of the Eagle Tribune.
A staff assignment sheet was reviewed by Tim Moore regarding what sections each Planning Board member will be presenting to the public. Specifically, the Goals and Objectives and the Recommendations for each section included in the 2004 Master Plan will be reviewed and assessed for their relevancy and level of importance.
