New Business:
SHANNAN LABRECQUE, DAYCARE: Shannon LaBrecque of 1001 New County Road would like to start a family childcare center at her home. The center would be for no more than 12 children. She has been cleared by the Fire Department and Plumbing Inspector and is awaiting state approval. Mrs. LaBrecque presented letters from the Fire Marshall and the Plumbing Inspector. She also presented a lot plan but it did not show where the house is located; she was asked to locate the house on the lot plan and then presented a smaller sketch. She will not be adding on to the house; the business will be located in the basement. The house is 110 feet from the road and has a horseshoe driveway. Mrs. LaBreque noted that she has had as many as 20 cars in it at one time. She would like a sign no larger than 2x3 feet. She has space for more
children but plans to stay with the family group home plan which specifies no more than 12. She plans to have no employees, but her mother may volunteer. Her daughter would be included in the numbers.
The abutters have not been officially notified. The play yard area is fenced in and has a buffer between her yard and the abutter’s horse farm. There is a pop-up pool that will not be part of the daycare.
Members discussed whether or not a site walk and public hearing is necessary; neither were scheduled. It was noted that the approval could be granted with the conditions that the Board receives a copy of the state license and a copy of the liability insurance.
Derrick motioned to approve the CUP application on the condition that the Board receives a copy of the daycare license and a copy of liability insurance. Dick seconded, all voted in favor.
BRIAN PLOURDE, LINWOOD ACRES: Brian Plourde (dba Easy Living Homes) is in the process of buying the approved subdivision Linwood Acres. He would like to build the road in three phases, anticipating serving three lots per year over three years. He proposes an $80,000 letter of credit for the first phase and a $75,000 letter of credit for each additional phase. The first phase would include the cistern and drainage. Phase 2 would depend on where interest lies as far as lots that are selling.
Jim Roberts thought that it would change the plans. He advised a written estimate with the letter of credit. Rick noted that a turn-around with sufficient room for fire equipment would be needed in Phase 1. Dick said he would like a written statement regarding the cost from Steve Sterns and a written plan of the three phases. Derrick noted that he would like a detailed plan showing the phases, what lots are included in each phase, drainage, the cistern, and the temporary turn-around.
Jim noted that it may be necessary to do an amendment to the plans, and this decision would be up to the Planning Board. He felt that a base coat of pavement would be necessary to keep down dust during construction but the final coat of pavement should have a completion date. Mr. Plourde said he would be willing to commit to a three-year completion date. Conditions could be set so that no occupancy permits are granted until certain criteria are met. Mr. Plourde was asked to provide the following for the next meeting:
Detailed, color-coded plan showing phases, lots included, drainage, cistern, temporary turn-around
Letter of credit detailing completion date for the final coat of pavement (three years)
Written costs of each phase
Dick noted that the Lyman Planning Board should be notified. The secretary was instructed to notify the Lyman Board that Mr. Plourde will be on the agenda for the next meeting on August 20.
DEARBORN BROS. GRAVEL PIT: Selectmen have discussed the issue. Apparently a resident asked if the road could be bonded because of the potential for damage by the loaded trucks. The town attorney says it can't be done, so the $10,000 that is held in account is considered sufficient.
WATER LAWS: Dick received a letter from a hydrologist who is writing water extraction laws for Lyman; the hydrologist suggests that Dayton should have similar policies so as to be in alignment. Dick will ask him to attend a meeting.
ZONING ORDINANCES: Jim mentioned that zoning ordinance changes will be coming up for vote in November and will deal with temporary structures such as farm stands. He also intends to put together a new ordinance book.
Dick motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:03. Derrick seconded, all voted in favor. The next regular business meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 20, 7:00 PM at Dayton Town Hall.
