3. Map 211, Lots 11, 14 – Cooper Street Partners, LLC, Subdivision/Annexation, 1106 Rte. 11: 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 falls under the requirements of 6.04 of the Subdivision Regulations subject to waivers that are allowed in 6.05 (b), the mapping of existing contours, existing utilities, plans for storm water drainage and plans for water supply. The lots are both over 5 acres so there is no need for state subdivision approval. M. Marquise stated that with the waivers, he believes the application to be complete. Motion by Philip Porter to accept the application as complete with the waivers as recommended
by M. Marquise. The motion was seconded by Derek Tatlock. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
The subdivision/annexation was presented by surveyor Wayne McCutcheon. W. McCutcheon explained that the property owner owns 5 lots that abut each other. These are located on Map 211, Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. A discontinued road abuts all five lots and runs through the property. The plan asks that the Board allow the owner to annex 13.33 from tax map 211, lot 14 and reduce the lot to 5.25 acres. Parcel A is going across the discontinued road and will become a part of tax map 211, lot 14. W. McCutcheon stated that it was hoped that at the next meeting of the Planning Board, a merger application will be before them to merge all of the lots excluding the 5.25 acres together. Cooper Street Partners has the opportunity to sell the 5.25 acre lot. Motion was made by Derek
Tatlock to approve the subdivision/annexation. The motion was seconded by Barbara Hollander. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
CONSULTATIONS
1. Map 203, Lot 7, Robert Bell, Subdivision, Prospect Hill Road: Robert Bell was present to discuss changes in the construction of his road on his Prospect Hill subdivision. He explained how the grade was improved and the road extended from 1,425 to 1,475. The grade at the top is down from 11.6% to 10%. R. Bell stated that Tony Bergeron was very much in favor of these changes. Michael Marquise stated that he feels the Board should have no problem with the changes as long as the Road Agent and Fire Chief approve them. R. Bell furthered explained the progress of his project. He stated that there is an issue with the common land. He is scheduled to meet with the Conservation Commission to speak with them about accepting ownership of the common
land which consists of 36 acres. The realtors have advised him that buyers are not interested in ownership of common land because of the taxes, maintenance and liability issues. The common land would be accessible either by frontage or easement. The land could be put into current use, but R. Bell stated that he would not know what to do with it.
