Public Meeting
Hertel subdivision-
Mr.
Voltz contacted PSNH to discuss the power line
easement. PSNH would prefer not to have septic systems encroaching on its
easement, and any area around wells in the easement must be kept cut, or herbicide
will be used. PSNH also wants assurance that none of the slopes or disturbed
areas will be within 20 feet of the poles.
The
size of lot 13 has been increased, and lot 12 pushed back out into the open
area. Well radiuses have been pulled out of the PSNH easement. The culvert at the
entrance to the proposed development has been cleaned out, and the locations of
drainage easements are in place.
Friend
read a note from the Fire Chief, stating that, per NFPA code, the cistern needs
to be in place before any building begins. This is required whenever a planned
development has seven or more houses. During discussion, Mr. Voltz stated that the chosen spot for the cistern is ideal.
The Board emphasized that the road to the cistern needs to be maintained, so
that the Fire Department has access to service the first houses built. The Board
suggested that the Fire Chief may not understand that
the initial plan is to build only 5 houses. Mr. Voltz
will meet with him to clarify.
In
addition to the power line easement, there will be an easement around the
cistern. There was discussion on whether or not a slope easement will be
required for the 3 to 1 slope areas. The Board suggested that once the road is
finished, it won’t be necessary.
Weeks
would like to see a review of the basic design of the road, bringing in HEB to
consult. Stewart would like to have the drainage increase reviewed, also by HEB.
Mr. Voltz will get more information on the drainage
from his engineer, and will correct the plan that currently omits the culvert,
sending it to HEB. Vicki will send HEB one set of plans, as well as a copy of
the stormwater report.
The
project is currently waiting for the following permits: subdivision, driveway,
wetlands, Fire Department, as well as Road Agent approval. Stewart would like
to see some phase delineation on the plans.
The
Board approved the chosen street name,
The
Planning Board review is continued until
Jerry Holmberg-
Stewart
moved to accept the application as complete,
The
project can’t satisfy the acreage requirements of a subdivision, hence the
application as “Condominium”. The area will be divided in two, but with no
change of use.
The
Board reviewed Checklist #2. There was a question as to whether wetlands
delineation is needed.
Weeks
pointed out details needed on the plan.
Mr.
Holmberg was unsure as to whether he was dividing space or buildings.
The
application is continued to December 20. Rick moved, Wright second.
Friend
read the latest letter from Atty. Roger Murray, in which he approved the
current wording of the Covenant.
Weeks
reviewed the reasons given for the waiver request, which was granted August 16.
The Board had received a written request for waiver, signed by Atty. Robert
Varney, and subsequently received the Restricted Convenant.
Weeks moved to sign,
Robert Varney- Greymont/Farm Pond
The
plan now depicts the connector road. An Irrevocable Letter of Credit and
Performance Guaranty have been received.
There
was discussion about the road; Varney has drafted a proposed deed of the roadway
to the town, and will convey fee, roadway to next subdivision, and easement to
fire pond.
Wright
moved to sign plans,
