3. PUBLIC HEARING/FINAL HEARING
1. Map 137, Lot 14: Baker Boyce, et al, Two Lot Subdivision, 77 Burkehaven Hill Road: Michael Marquise informed the Board that the application was filed three weeks in advance, the fees were paid, abutter’s notices sent and the notice was posted. The application meets the requirements of 6.04 of the subdivision regulations subject to waivers that are allowed in 6.05 (b) for boundary line survey, contours, utility lines and storm water drainage. M. Marquise believes the Board should reserve the right to review the septic system. He believes the application is complete. Motion was made Allan Davis to accept the application as complete. The motion was seconded by Derek Tatlock. The vote was unanimous and the motion
carried.
Baker Boyce explained that the lot currently contains two buildings. This subdivision would allow each house its own lot. Derek Tatlock asked if any new buildings were planned. Mr. Boyce replied that there was not. The only thing planned is remodeling. There are two septic systems on the lot. Michael Marquise explained that lots under 5 acres are required to have state septic system approval, but because the two systems already exist he doesn’t know if that applies. He has put in a call to the DES, but has not received a return call yet. Also one of the lots is within 200 feet from Town sewer and could be hooked up if the owner wanted. Peggy Chalmers questioned how much that would cost and wondered if it would be a burden on the land owner to require
hooking up to the Town system. Allan Davis suggested that a letter be received from the Water and Sewer Department stating that the lot could be hooked up to Town sewer. Michael Marquise agreed and suggested that the Board also obtain confirmation from the State that the lot can be subdivided without State approval. M. Marquise also pointed out that the lots are shown as Lot #14-1 as 1.00 acre and Lot #14-2 as 1.10 acre. The square footages of both lots are also on the plan, but one does not match the acreage and shows it as less than one acre. The Zoning Regulations require that lots be a minimum of one acre in this zone. M. Marquise has already spoken with the surveyor and the square footages will be removed from the plan. Motion was made by Derek Tatlock to approve the subdivision with the conditions that a letter is received from the State of NH DES stating that the property is exempt from receiving State septic system
approval, a letter from the Town Water and Sewer Department confirming that Town sewer is available and a certification from the surveyor that Lot #14-1 is a one acre lot. The motion was seconded by Allan Davis. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
Mr. Boyce will bring in the corrected mylar and the letters as required by the Board.
A cake was served by Peggy Chalmers to celebrate the up coming January 6, 2007 marriage of Michael Marquise.
