Administrative Business:
Nancy Harriman called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM.
The October 17, 2005 minutes were read and approved.
The October 22, 2005 Korpi Sitewalk and Public Hearing minutes were read and approved.
Old Business:
SDI: No new information. No paper work has been received from Mr. Howard regarding a bond or a check to be placed in escrow, so no CUP has been issued. Nancy Harriman will notify CEO Jim Roberts.
KORPI SUBDIVISION: Board members started going over the checklist for major subdivisions. Mr. Korpi indicated that he would move the existing driveway six feet to the left when it becomes a road to accommodate underground utilities. The second driveway to the home on Lot 2 will be eliminated. The Korpis were advised that final approval couldn’t be given until the Board has a final plan. It was also determined that the application has not been completed. The Korpis were asked to complete the application and return it to the Board with seven copies of the final plan and a mylar copy as well. The Korpis are on the agenda for December 5, 2005.
After the Korpis left, the Board members asked Jim Roberts for clarification on whether or not a duplex is allowed in the subdivision and what the lot size should be. It was determined that the wording should indicate the number of dwelling units, not the number of lots. Members noted that Mr. Korpi will need to commit to a certain number of units and that the issue will need to be addressed if the Korpis indicate that they will be building duplexes. It was suggested that Nancy Harriman contact the town attorney also.
LINDA STILPHEN, GARDENS OF ATLANTIS HEALING ARTS CENTER: Linda Stilphen and Marie Reidman appeared before the Board to request a date for a sitewalk and public hearing. This will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2005 AT 9 AM. Ms. Stilphen currently plans to rent out four rooms for the purpose of conducting massage therapy, reflexology, homeopathy and yoga. Nancy Harriman explained that the Board would need to look at egress and will need to go into the house as well. The driveway currently has two entrances; no new entrances will be needed. Ms. Stilphen plans to create 11 parking spots. She has also indicated that she plans to replace a 500-gallon holding tank with a 1000 tank. It was suggested that the local Fire Department be advised of the sitewalk. It was also noted that Ms. Stilphen would need to address
handicapped accessibility issues. Ms. Stilphen is on the agenda for December 5, 2005.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Nancy Harriman received information from the SPO regarding reasons why the Comprehensive Plan was found to be inconsistent at the state level. It was decided that the Comprehensive Board members would work on this at the November 17, 2005 meeting.
CLARIFICATION OF ZONING MAP: Members noted that the boundary between the village and farm/forest zones are not clearly mapped. This matter was mentioned to the Selectmen. No new information.
New Business:
NO MEETING ON DECEMBER 19, 2005: Members voted to cancel the December 19, 2005 meeting. It was noted that, being a week before Christmas, there would probably not be any items on the agenda. The next meeting will be January 16, 2006 as January 2 is a legal holiday.
RICK AHERN, SENIOR CITIZEN HOME PARK: Mr. And Mrs. Ahern and daughter Jody approached the Board to get information on building a proposed senior citizen home park. The Aherns own many acres in Dayton and Hollis and are considering opening up 50-60 acres for a home park. This would accommodate 100-150 units and a community building. The homes would be mobile units on slabs and would be owned by the residents, who would pay taxes on the buildings to the town. The Aherns would retain ownership of the land and would pay taxes on it. Residents would be 55 or older. There would be two entrances to the home park.
Jim Roberts noted that a water supply and sewerage system would need to be installed. Board members and Selectman Ed LeBlanc felt that this would potentially be a good fit for the town, although it was noted that this is in an area that has been designated by the Comprehensive Plan as Commercial/Industrial. Mr. Ahern indicated that he was going to do more research before approaching the Board again.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 PM. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 17, 2005, 7:00 PM at the Town Hall.
