Old Business:
Bruce Beane reported on the Sept 23rd meeting held to start developing policies for building on private and class VI roads on a road-by-road basis. Some progress was made identifying those roads, but many questions were raised that require legal clarification. Bruce noted that that some of the RSA's pertaining to building on class VI and private roads contradict each other. The Board agreed that Bruce should prepare a list of questions and contact town counsel as Attorney Spector for advice.
Bruce Beane will attend the Oct 17th Fall Planning & Zoning Conference in Lincoln.
The Board authorized the purchase of 10 color copies of the 2007 Master Plan from Staples. The net cost will be $8 each ($16 with 50% Staples rewards back).
An updated draft of the Subdivision Application Checklist will be ready for the next meeting. Lisa Linowes will remove the items not applicable to the Town of Lyman and turn the checklist into a form or table.
Public Matters:
Gardner Kellogg and Ken Mosedale presented a conceptual subdivision and boundary line adjustment plan for Dr. Donald Miller on Under the Mountain Rd involving Map 54 Lots 12 & 30, totaling approximately 310 acres. The Board determined the plan is actually just a boundary line adjustment since no new lots will be created. Abutters will be notified by certified mail that the plan will be considered at the Nov 4, 2009 Planning Board public meeting at 7:30 pm.
New Business:
Planning Board members were encouraged to attend the following meetings:
- The next Hazard Mitigation Plan Committee meeting - Oct 19th at 4:00 pm.
- The next Road Policy meeting of the Planning Board and Selectmen - Oct 21st at 6:00 pm.
- Cartographic Associates, Inc's project debriefing Oct 26th at 6:15 pm during the Selectmen's meeting to explain how the Town's new parcel maps were created, how to deal with problems/questions, and other uses for the system.
Richard & Bonnie Wheatley requested that the approved driveway location for their property on Skinny Ridge Rd be reconsidered as three contractors have indicated the access will have to be quite steep at that site. Bruce Beane will coordinate a meeting with all parties involved. It is the Planning Board's understanding that the sight distance specifications the Town uses are from the NH DOT.
The Board of Selectmen denied a building permit for a garage for David Lahey & Terry Logozzo on Pine Spur Rd as the proposed location did not meet the required setback from the road. They were referred to the ZBA to request a variance.
Adjourn:
Rosemary Colombi motioned to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 pm, 2nd by Roberta Aldrich, all voted in favor.
