He said they are decreasing the footprint on the lot, and also proposing a 24 x 26' garage, and asking for a set back reduction from 50' to 25' on the road set back. L. Moreau asked about the new covered porch on the plan and was there one there now. Martin said there was a covered porch on the other side of the house. They are removing an existing covered shed, which A. Dunlap said never had a permit, part of the deck on the front, and some existing roof overhang. Martin said on the backside the house is close to the ground and the sills are rotted out. It was discussed that even though the house is A-Frame style it still has rooms upstairs over the kitchen area. Martin said the
house would be rebuilt like a cape. Larry asked if they were expanding square footage in the house. Martin said they decreased the footprint on the first floor that would cause them to gain square footage upstairs. Currently there is no foundation. There are plans to put just enough of a foundation for a crawl space to put a furnace in it. The landowners are looking at Permeable Pavers for the new driveway surface and walkway surface. The Board asked Mr. Chick about the future plans for fixing the other end of Birch Dr. Mr. Chick told the Board that it would take two years to appropriate the amount needed to do the job.
Motion: On a motion by C. Duchette and seconded by C. Finger to approve the Martin Meier SLZ application to renovate the house and grounds as presented.
Discussion: Larry suggested that a few items be put into the approval. That A. Dunlap's recommendation of the use of the Permeable pavers be used for new driveway and walkway. What about having ACSWCD look at buffer area, SLZ Boilerplate and that the Board is allowing the setback reduction.
Carl Duchette made a motion to approve and amended it to include the following conditions and C. Finger seconded it.
1. Androscoggin Soil and Water should be consulted for the vegetating of the entire site.
2. SLZ Boilerplate.
