Old Business:
KORPI SUBDIVISION: Steve and Mary Korpi presented final plans for the Swan Pond subdivision, showing 11 units on eight lots. Lots 1 and 2 are existing single-family dwellings; Lots 4, 5, and 8 are proposed single-family dwellings, Lot 7 is an existing duplex, and Lots 3 and 6 are proposed duplexes. The private road will end in a hammerhead at Lot 6. An easement will be provided between Lots 2 and 3 for underground utilities.
The Korpis’ original application was for an eight-lot subdivision. Town Attorney Maxine Pouravelis has advised the Planning Board to approve or disapprove the original eight-lot application and request the Korpis to re-apply for an 11-unit subdivision. The Korpis were advised that the abutters will need to be notified, another public hearing will need to be held, and there will be additional fees for the increased number of units and another hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for 7:40 PM on Monday, February 6, 2006 during the regular Planning Board meeting.
SDI: Andy Howard and Michael Tadema-Wielandt presented a conceptual subdivision plan to reclaim the SDI gravel pit on Rt. 35. The plan consists of 52 mobile home units for elderly or affordable housing, a 2-1/2 acre lot for commercial use such as self-storage, and an area for a common septic field. The park would have individual or shared wells. The housing units would be leased; Mr. Howard would retain ownership of the land and would be responsible for plowing and maintaining the roads. Mr. Howard asked for feedback from Board members, explaining that he would either put in a subdivision or begin mining below the water table.
Board members noted that the conceptual plan does not meet current town ordinances in respect to density. Mr. Howard was advised that the current Comprehensive Plan emphasizes open space. Ron Wormwood asked if there were any traffic issues. Jim Roberts noted that it is a state road and if there were issues, the state would need to look at it.
Nancy Harriman explained that while the town is receptive to the idea of housing within its guidelines, the issue of the reclamation bond needs to be completed first. After discussion Mr. Howard stated that he would take care of the bond issue.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Members have no new information from the State Planning Office. Selectmen referred the revisions to SMRPC. Nancy Harriman will contact SMRPC and members will plan to work on the Comprehensive Plan at the February 20 Planning Board meeting.
CLARIFICATION OF ZONING MAP: Members noted that the boundary between the village and farm/forest zones is not clearly mapped. This matter was mentioned to the Selectmen. No new information.
RICK AHERN, SENIOR CITIZEN HOME PARK: No new information.
MORATORIUM ON GRAVEL PITS: In December Board members discussed placing a moratorium on new gravel pits retroactive to December 5, 2005, while the Comprehensive Plan is undergoing review. Selectmen advised the Board to contact SMRPC and Maxine Pouravelis to get legal counsel. No new discussion.
New Business:
MIKE POLAKEWICH, BURNHAM ESTATES SUBDIVISION: Mike Polakewich and Brad Lodge approached the board with preliminary plans for a four-unit subdivision on South Street. Part of the property is in Dayton, part is in Lyman. The subdivision would have a private road located entirely in Dayton. Mr. Polakewich noted that the Lyman Planning Board has indicated they would defer the road to Dayton’s Board.
Mr. Polakewich has a Purchase and Sales agreement with the land’s current owners. The owners have indicated that they will sell the land pending approval for a subdivision by both towns. A soil test has been completed. No subdivision application has been filed yet.
By law, the two Boards must have at least a first and a last joint meeting. Mr. Polakewich was asked to schedule a time with the Lyman Planning Board for the two boards to meet.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 PM. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 6, 2006, 7:00 PM at the Town Hall.
Agenda for the next meeting:
Lisa Cole, CUP information/application for a daycare in separate building on her property.
Steve and Mary Korpi, Swan Pond subdivision, second Public Hearing.
