Town of Dayton
Planning Board
December 18, 2006
Members Present: Nancy Harriman, Dick Hall, Derrick Vezina, Brian Dill, Rick Shaw, Valerie Cole (Alt.)
Others Present: Pat Frasier, Andy Morrell, Tom Beagle, Jim Roberts, Mike Lord
Administrative:
Rick Shaw motioned to accept the minutes from December 4, 2006. Derrick Vezina seconded. All voted in favor with one abstention.
OLD BUSINESS:
OPEN SPACE: Members had decided previously not to require open space from the present developments, but instead to ask for a donation to the town. Dick would like to meet with Attorney David Ordway to better understand the correct process for accepting donations before another subdivision comes before the Board.
VILLAGE DISTRICT: Amos Gay has a preliminary survey for the Selectmen. It will be finalized soon and then will be presented to the Board.
BRESNAHAN MASSAGE THERAPY HOME OFFICE: Dick talked with JT Lockman of SMRPC. It appears that a permit may not be needed, but the $75 license may be required. There is nothing in the town ordinance that says what is required specifically. For reference, Dick handed out a copy of an old statute from Alfred detailing Home Occupations. Dick felt that the fee for the site walk and Conditional Use Permit is rather expensive for this type of home occupation.
Nancy felt that it is important to acknowledge what the business is and where it is located. Jim pointed out that licensing means inspections as well. Nancy felt that it might be important to differentiate between sole proprietors and businesses that employ people. Jim noted that it is spelled out in the ordinance.
Dick learned from SMRPC that they could be hired to bring the town ordinance up to code for approximately $20,000. Jim noted that they would be hired soon to update the town’s shore land zoning. They are supposedly working currently on the town’s comprehensive plan.
Nancy felt that it may be appropriate to charge Ms. Bresnahan $75 for a home massage therapy license, if she continues with her application. Jim thought there might be a license form available through MMA. He also suggested that the town have a copy of liability insurance on file. If the need for a license is eliminated, however, it would also eliminate the need to have liability insurance on file. He recommended that nothing be done tonight, but instead the Board look into what other towns are doing or eliminate the need for a license for home occupations altogether. Members decided to table the issue and take no action at the present.
PAT FRASIER, HUNTER’S RUN SUBDIVISION:
Andy Morrell noted that the only changes in the plans are the wording “Final Plan” and the hammerhead is now in color. Pat Frasier provided a copy of a letter of credit for the road construction. Mike Lord indicated that the Fire Department had already approved the location of the cistern. Jim suggested that the Board write up a sample letter at some point to be used as a letter of credit.
Derrick started the final plan review. Nancy asked about the open space issue; members decided that they would not require open space. A construction schedule estimate and performance guarantee were also provided. It was determined that the submission is complete. The Road Commissioner has not been notified yet, but will be when the road construction starts.
Members proceeded with the checklist. It was noted that no houses will be built in the flood plain. Currently there is one existing house in the flood plain.
Rick asked if there is a stop sign on the road, Mr. Frasier could not remember. None are shown on the plans. Rick indicated he would like it as a condition on the approval. Nancy asked about trash: Jim would like to see a dumpster or building at the end of the road to accommodate that. It is a private road, however, so it may not be possible to make it a requirement. Rick suggested a condition that barrels be required instead of bags. Mr. Frasier and Jim noted that it could not be required of the existing houses.
Dick motioned for a stop sign as a condition for approval. Rick seconded. Nancy noted that it was not enforceable. All voted in favor.
Rick motioned to accept the latest plan for Hunter’s Run subdivision with the condition of requiring a stop sign. Dick and Derrick seconded, all voted in favor.
SHAW BROTHERS GRAVEL PIT: Tom Beagle addressed the Board on behalf of Shaw Brothers Gravel Pit. Shaw Brothers recently bought the SDI pit, and would like to combine it with their current pit. They would continue to use SDI’s Rt. 35 entrance for the present, but would probably close it in the future. They have a bond in place for their pit and plan to take over the reclamation of SDI. Tom Beagle asked to replace SDI’s bond with one from Shaw Brothers, explaining that former owner Andy Howard would like to get his bond money back. Howard has not yet submitted anything to the Board. The Shaw Brothers pit is approximately 160 acres and has the material necessary to reclaim the SDI pit. The Board asked for proof of ownership, but did not feel the need to have a new bond. Mr. Beagle indicated that he would ask
to be on the agenda in the future to obtain approval for mining on land purchased in 2002.
535 GOODWINS MILLS RD DBA LINWOOD ACRES SUBDIVISION: No new information.
RICK AHEARN AND JODIE AHEARN, MOBILE HOME PARK: No new information.
DEBORAH BEAN, SUBDIVION: No new information. Members noted a For Sale sign on the property.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 PM. There is no meeting on January 1; the next meeting will be held on Monday, January 15, 2007.
