COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Members informed the Selectmen that the Board has not had time to work on the Comprehensive Plan, and suggested that the Selectmen find a committee to work on it. The Selectmen noted that Jim Roberts plans to start working on changes.
SDI: No new information. A letter was sent to Mr. Howard informing him that the Planning Board cannot consider his proposed mobile home park until the gravel pit is reclaimed. The Board has offered to refund his $100 deposit. A copy of the CUP was also mailed to him.
PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES AND MORATORIUM: Selectmen will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 22, 2006. Members discussed the changes that have been proposed and felt that they could not support the 1000-foot limit on dead end streets. Several members plan to attend.
535 GOODWINS MILLS RD SUBDIVISION: Selectmen and CEO suggested that the Board contact the applicants and require them to pave the road and add an additional 5-foot extension in lieu of sidewalks. The extra 5 feet would make the road 32 feet wide. After discussion Board members decided that all roads in subdivisions should be consistent and from this time forward all roads should be paved and have a 5-foot extension that is also paved. The 5-foot extension shall be designated by a line to indicate that it is a walking area. Dick Hall motioned, Rick Shaw seconded, all members voted in favor.
Dick Hall asked if the Board had the authority to determine that roads could be town roads if they are built to spec. Jim Roberts noted that it was not automatic procedure and that the Selectmen may not approve this. Nancy Harriman talked with the Selectmen and determined that this procedure would have to be voted in by residents.
PAT FRASIER, SUBDIVISION: Mr. Frasier would like to build his 13-lot subdivision in two phases. Phase 1 would stop at the brook; Phase 2 would be started at a later date on the other side of the brook. Members noted that a hammerhead would be needed for Phase 1 and that the road will have to be completed and tarred to the brook before Phase 1 is considered complete. Mike Lord of the Fire Department noted that he would like to work with the Board on the turn-around issue. Mr. Frasier asked if he could dig a fire pond near the front of the lot in Phase 1 instead of having a cistern. Mike Lord stated that having a fire pond is a liability and the Fire Department prefers a covered cistern.
Mr. Frasier asked about the possibility of cluster housing. He would like to cluster the houses in Phase 2 near the brook to keep the back of the property open and would like Lot 10 to be clustered into Phase 1 in front of the brook. Nancy Harriman noted that, with several houses already established there, it might not be possible. Dick Hall asked if a single well and septic system would apply in the cluster housing; Jim Roberts noted that if clustering were used, water and sewer would be consolidated. The soil in that area is partially sand.
Mr. Frasier explained that he would like Phase 1 to include Lots 2, 12, and 10 in addition to the houses that are already there. Clustering in Phase 1would allow him to add one lot to the front of the brook. Rick Shaw noted that more houses could be clustered so that all of the buildings would all be on one side of the brook. After discussion, members felt that the town had nothing to gain from allowing Lot 10 to be clustered, given that the subdivision will probably be constructed in two phases. Board members felt that cluster housing would be preferable for the back of the property but would not support it for the front.
Mr. Frasier asked if a public hearing could be scheduled. Nancy Harriman explained that fees must be paid and final plans and paperwork must be presented before a public hearing could be scheduled. It was suggested to Mr. Frasier that the final plans for Phase 1 should not show Phase 2 in detail yet. Jim Roberts stated that Phase 2 would have to be revisited when Mr. Frasier is ready to start it.
Nancy Harriman explained that the road needs to be redrawn on the plans. The Board determined that Mr. Frasier’s fees, assessed at the previous rate, are currently based on 8 lots, the site walk, and the public hearing. Phase 2 lots will be assessed at the new fees.
Mr. Frasier will be on the agenda for the June 5 meeting. A public hearing will be scheduled at that time if all the application paperwork is complete.
