T. Moore explained that the Board would skip ahead on the agenda to Items 3, 4, 5 & 6 as there were people in the audience here for them.
Item Three:
Continuation of a Public Hearing on a 3-Lot Subdivision Plan application for property located at 22 Witch Lane, Tax Map 42, Lot 23, totaling 7.10 +/- acres with 188.83 feet of frontage in the Medium Density Residential District. The proposed 3-lot subdivision involves the construction of 590 feet of new road and will be suitable for single-family or duplex units. The owner(s) of record is Arthur K. Wicks.
Item Four:
Continuation of a Public Hearing on a Lot Line Adjustment as a result of a 3-Lot Subdivision Plan for properties located at 20 and 22 Witch Lane, Tax Map 42, Lots 22 and 23, totaling 7.10 +/- acres with 188.83 feet of frontage and .58 acres with 152.04 feet of frontage respectively. Both properties are located in the Medium Density Residential District. The lot line adjustment will result in the addition of .49 acres to Tax Map 42, Lot 22. The owner(s) of record are Arthur K. Wicks and Glen and Heidi Peabody.
Present for the applications was Kevin Hatch, owner of Cornerstone Survey Associates. He distributed plans to the Board and explained that they are for the 3 lot sub-division and the lot line adjustment. K. Hatch gave the Board an overview noting the following:
- The property is located on Witch Lane
- It has a proposed road with three residential lots off a cul-de-sac
- The lot line adjustment taking place is the Peabody property (he points on the map were the lot line will be).
K. Hatch explains that since the last time he met with the Board, they sent plans to the Town Engineer, CLD, and has received a review letter from them. He added that the letter was a punch list and that he would not go through it all, just what they need to discuss tonight to get the Boards input, noting that they are still sending and getting the plans checked again by CLD.
S. Ranlett asked if K. Hatch had cleaned up everything on the list.
K. Hatch replied yes. He said the first item on the list they need to discuss (PSR 235-9.B.) is where they state the first lot is only 96% of a lot. He added that they were using different soil calculations tables because they were not included originally with the regulations. They are working with the same table now and so all it took was a tiny adjustment in one lot line which changed the lot line just slightly and solved the issue. He continued on with the next item to be discussed (PZO 220-131), the applicant has stated that the buildable area is not in the aquifer protection district; however, it appears that the site is within the district and that the applicant should review. K. Hatch stated that in doing that they went back to Plaistow’s Zoning Regulation and looked at what it calls for in an
Aquifer Map. He explains that the map was made by USGS back in 1990/1991, and that it was a large groundwater study done in the area between Londonderry and New Castle. (Leigh – is this the spot you”d explain?? Thanks, Laurie)

Discussion with McGregor Smith regarding proposed Used Car Dealer at 2 Danville Road.
Mike: Can you jot a few notes down regarding the legal/technical issues you noted, i.e. our zoning/regs versus what you quoted from the RSA's:
