- Bigelow Mobile Homes, 57 Maple Avenue Special Permit Modification/Bonnie Besse:
Chairman read memo from Zoning Board of Appeals. They would like the Board to comment prior to their public hearing on 11/7/12. Mrs. Besse would like to eliminate the turnaround. The Planning Board questioned whether she plans to do something different with the roadway so the turnaround is not necessary. Original permit is from 2006. Plan was reviewed.
A letter will be sent to the Zoning Board of Appeals stating the following:
“The Planning Board does not feel the plans received contain sufficient detail for them to make any determination. 1. There is no showing where the sidewalks are constructed, are to be constructed or to be eliminated. 2. The plans do not indicate location of the turnaround to be eliminated? 3. Is the right of way going to be sufficient for emergency vehicles? 4. Will the improved portion of the right of way be sufficient to provide for travel of emergency vehicles during all seasons? If you would forward more complete plans, the Planning Board would be happy to comment further
”

Chairman stated that he spoke with Elise, Board of Assessor’s office. She would like meet with the Board regarding Central Tree Open Space which she believes was turned over to the town in 2006. This has not come to the town for acceptance. Blair owned the property and MDC had rights on this property. She is also upset about Brunelle taxes on open space. The percentage of open space was not put in the deed.
Chairman stated that Mr. Gengel brought deeds for the property and roads (not open space) to the Town clerk awhile ago. Chairman will check with Elise on this.
