OTHER BUSINESS
- Brought to the table by the Board. We have found that we requested a site plan but not an original review process and who is responsible for the payment to Bob Faunce. Tim Morin understood that he just needed to have an update in the file. Chairman Duchette suggests that we bring it to the selectmen for advisement on who is responsible for the payment. Input from Bob Faunce that the project stands as can not be approved with the front setbacks filled with merchandise. Change in use needs to be addressed. Chairman Duchette asks if a legal opinion may be warranted on whether the setbacks/buffers need to be maintained or does the board have the right to change. Advises we ask for MMA’s opinion on all this.
- Change in uses being asked for on Route 26. Chairman Duchette questions whether we should address a different use chart. Bob Faunce is asking for approval to go ahead and make some adjustments to the use chart. If and where the uses might be allowed once we expand. Member Greenwood makes note that we need to make a better definition of the uses. Uses on next agenda for a workshop. Devote next meeting as a workshop… no meeting.
- Member Porter
questions expansion at fire station, we should make things a stream protection district rather than a setback of 200 feet. Motioned to add into the workshop. asks that we add stream protection review to our workshop schedule.
