II. Review application submitted for
completeness
B. Clair Whitcomb
Trust Minor 3 lot subdivision located in the Rural Agricultural District on Rte.
12, Map 7 Lot 19. Ch. Miller designated
Ms. Aslinger to replace recused Mr. Dill, he felt with former and future
relation to the property it would be inappropriate for him to remain on the
Board during the review. Sec. Aslinger
reported the application was received complete as of the required deadline, all
abutters had been notified, notices posted, fees received.
She
said the Board has received a letter from abutter Mr. Schupack, each member was
given a copy at the meeting. Ch. Miller called for a motion to accept
the application as complete, it was so moved and seconded, with no further
discussion the motion carried unanimously.
III. Meeting closed/Public Hearing Opened
B. Clair Whitcomb
Trust - Joseph
DiBernardo presented for Mr. LaHaise describing the basic lot configuration,
road frontage, access and private driveway locations, all lots meet the Town
requirements. He showed where each lot
has access from a 50ft. ROW off of North River and Webster Lane via a private
drive.
Mr.
John Hansel, audience member asked for a better description of the proposal
location, Ch. Miller obliged, with help from abutter Mr. Schupack. Mr. Miller stated that in the past a proposal
was made for the same parcel, however it was turned down because it included a
dead end road greater than 600ft. in length, the project was for many more
houses.
Ch.
Miller asked for clarification of where the access and ROW is being
proposed. Mr. DiBernardo showed the
location on the map and stated it was at the end of North River Rd. across the
private road Webster Land entering into the 50 ft. ROW servicing all three of
the lots. Each lot would have a private
driveway stemming from the 50 ft. ROW.
Ch. Miller asked where the houses would be located. It was determined they would be on the top of
the lots where the better views are.
Preliminary maps showed proposed sites.
Bob
Anderson abutter asked if the proposal did infact have frontage on Rte.
12. He referred to the deed stating the
State of NH has all rights of access to the property. He went to the Highway Dept. where they
agreed the property cannot have any access via driveways to Rte. 12. He is concerned if you can not have access
off the road, would the road be considered “frontage”. Ch. Miller said access to the property is not
on Rte. 12, but on a Town maintained road, he said frontage must be on a Class
V or better road, Rte. 12 is better than a Class V road, so the frontage is
met. Mr. Anderson felt without direct
access for each lot from Rte. 12 they did not meet the frontage requirement. Ch. Miller said they had met the access requirement
by putting in the 50ft. ROW, the access is not required to be off the frontage
although he could see Mr. Anderson’s point.
Mr.
Steve Horton abutter, said in a related issue to access, the beginning of the
ROW at Webster Lane ie; a shared driveway between he and Mr. Schupack ,needs to
be guaranteed a covenant or have
conditions provided to them as owners of Webster Lane of who would be
responsible for repairs and maintenance once the traffic from the proposal
begins to effect the access area.
He
said he did not see anything provided with the application. He said they weren’t completely sure if the
proposal actually has access. Ch. Miller
asked if he agreed they had a ROW over Webster Lane, Mr. Horton said he did see
the designation on the map but wasn’t sure it had been granted.
Mr.
Mel Schupack said he had talked to Mr. Fish at DOT who said while Mr. Schupack
and Mr. Horton have ROW over the State owned portion of Webster Lane the
Whitcomb property did not have a ROW at this point but the State would not deny
it so long as the Town approved the subdivision. Mr. Schupack’s concern is if the subdivision
contains the ROW what conditions get attached to the ROW for expansion of the
project for three more houses. He
wonders if the
adequacy
of the private drive will be sufficient for the new property owners and if the
subdivision process would provide for it and whether Webster Lane needs to be
improved.
Walpole
Planning Board Minutes 10/10/06 page 3
Mr.
Horton asked if he could show the Board where the Whitcomb property bisects
Webster Lane, Mr. Schupack showed where the State owned all the direct access,
he had a ROW across the State property.
Ch. Miller asked if the Whitcomb’s have a ROW, Mr. DiBernardo said he
thought they had the State ROW in place.
Mr.
Miller said he thought an agreement was needed between the Whitcomb property
and the Webster Lane property owners describing who would be in charge of
maintenance and repairs.
Mr.
Schupack was concerned about the adequacy of the road within the property. Mr. Miller said it was a private driveway,
the Board would not have any requirements on the driveway. The Town has a driveway permit process only.
Mr.
DeCoste asked Mr. Schupack for clarification on their ROW over the state
portion. Mr. Schupack said they do have
a ROW from the State but did not think the Whitcomb property did, but would be
granted a ROW if the Town approves the subdivision.
Ch.
Miller said he gathered that one of the concerns of Mr. Schupack and Mr. Horton
was the traffic on Webster Lane would be increased by three and how would the
new property owners provide their share of the maintenance, it should be
equitable and formalized.
Mr.
Anderson said he did call the DOT Bureau of ROW’s. The State did give a ROW across the State
land to the property long before this subdivision was proposed. They did mention it is for a driveway, not a
road. Mr. Miller agreed it was for a
driveway only.
In
answer to Mr. Anderson’s original question regarding “frontage”, Ms. Aslinger
read the definition of “Frontage” from the Zoning Ordinance and also the
definition of “Public Street”. She said
she was quite certain the plan did have the required “frontage”.
Ch.
Miller called for further discussion, being none closed the Public Hearing and reopened
the meeting.
V. Action on the Whitcomb 3 lot subdivision
Ch.
Miller called for further Board review.
He said he thought it would be respectful to the abutters to have the
applicant check with the ROW and come up with a formal agreement before the
Board takes final action. Members
agreed. A motion was made to delay action on the application until the next
meeting (11/14/06) and to notify the applicant the Board is requiring further
information related to the State ROW approval and a maintenance agreement over
Webster Lane with the existing abutters.
Motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
II. Review application submitted for
completeness
C. Marvic
Management Minor 4 lot subdivision located on Rte. 12/118 Church St. in N. Walpole in
the Industrial District Map 27 Lot 1-1.
Mr. Dill returned as designated alternate for the Board. Sec. Aslinger reported the application had
been received complete within the required deadline, fees, abutters notified,
notices posted. Ch. Miller called for a motion to accept the
application as complete, so moved and seconded.
Motion carried unanimously. Ch.
Miller noted a Site Visit had taken place on 9/16/06. (minutes on file)
III. Meeing closed/Public Hearing opened
C. Marvic
Management - Mr.
Joseph DiBernardo presented for the Castellano’s.
He
described the subdivision, showing the lots and their accesses. He said the ROW off of Rte. 12 is
pending. He said there is no frontage or
minimum lot size requirements in the Industrial district. Mr. DeCoste said Lot 3 also shows a pending
approval from the Town for access. Mr.
DiBernardo
agreed, they were currently working with both the State and the Town for access
permits.
Mr.
John Foster abutter, said there is a problem with the Connecticut River that
borders the west side of this proposal.
In the last 40 years over 60 feet of the bank has eroded, there are maps
showing the erosion. He believes that if
the trees are removed from the property there will
Walpole
Planning Board Minutes 10/10/06 page 4
be
even more erosion and the property is also an old dump with lots of buried
waste. He said the soil is poor and once
the trees are removed it will create extensive erosion especially on Lots 3 and
4. He said the road known as Marshall
St. was originally just a driveway that was paved to service a few houses and
is not up to specs, the Town maintains it and it is a Town road given to the
Town by the property owners but there is no sewer only a dry well, no street
lights, and a very bad drainage problem.
Mr.
Miller asked if the new lots are to be served by Town water and sewer, the
answer was yes.
He
asked if anyone from the North Walpole Zoning or Village Precinct was present,
there was no one present.
Mr.
Barry Sharkey abutter said the Town had barely put in the dry well two years
ago, it did not function in heavy rain situations with much of the surrounding
property catching the overflow all the way to the River. It freezes in the winter and floods basements. He said the Town had talked about bringing up
the pitch of the road, right where the new proposed driveway is.
Ch.
Miller asked Mr. DiBernardo if they had talked to the Water/Village
Commissioners. He said they had been
talking to them including the Road Agent.
Mr. Castellano said they had spoken with Mr. McCormick today, he was
aware of the meeting and not happy they weren’t notified. Mr. Castellano said Mr. McCormick was happy
with the plan as proposed. Mr. DiBernardo
said they were working with the road agent about the access off Marshall St.,
he thought the drainage issues would be addressed at that time.
Ch. Miller suggested the
Board delay action on the application since these issues and others have been
raised. He suggested the North Walpole officials be
contacted and invited to come to the next meeting for their formal
recommendation since the issues impact their jurisdiction. Mr. DiBernardo felt enough was underway for
the Board to act tonight with a conditional approval.
Mr.
Castellano didn’t feel they needed to go back to the Commissioners. Mr. Miller disagreed saying he thought it was
only considerate to have their formal recommendation before the Board makes a
final determination.
Abutter
Mr. John Foster said the State will not allow anyone to put in rip rap on the
river, he sited a few instances up the river where development had added to
erosion and the State put up some plastic netting that was ineffectual. Mr. DiBernardo thought the Charlestown River
Corridor Protection agency works with the Army Corp of Engineers regarding the
River bank and could be contacted.
Mr.
DeCoste agreed with Ch. Miller to include the N. Walpole Commissioners
recommendations. Mr. DiBernardo asked
who’s responsibility is it to let the Commissioners know of land use changes,
the applicant or the Planning Board?
Ms.
Aslinger said it was a good question for the Board, they would have been
properly notified the same way the Public is notified with the publishing of
the notice, the availability of the maps hanging in the Town Hall lobby, and posted
notices. Mr. DiBernardo said it was very
confusing for the applicant to think everything was in place and to be delayed
because North Walpole wasn’t included at tonight’s meeting. The Board agreed, Ch. Miller said most of the
time the Commissioner’s did participate either by communication or attendance
on subdivisions or site plans. Sec.
Aslinger said this meeting was the first formal review of the application, the
Board goes through its process in a manner that allows for issues to be raised
during the Public Hearing. If issues are
raised the Board needs to make sure everyone is satisfied before the Board
makes it final decision. She said most
of the time applications are cut and dry, they come and go,
but
for the first time she can remember, there are two applications at tonight’s
meeting that action will be delayed until the next meeting.
Ch.
Miller said the Board would send paper copies to the N. Walpole Village
Commissioners and hopefully they will respond with a recommendation.
Walpole Planning
Board Minutes 10/10/06 page 5
Ms.
Sharkey asked if the abutters would be involved in the continued review. Ch. Miller said to attend the next meeting,
the hearing has been closed but the Board’s review will be continued until Nov.
14, 2006 at 7:30pm without further notification.
Mr.
Dill wanted it clear that this review would be continued until the next meeting
without another notification, all agreed.
Mr.
Dill clarified if the other three Rte.12 frontage lots have Town sewer, answer
was yes.
Mrs.
Castellano asked if there was anyway the Boards could better coordinate with
one another on applications that involve both North Walpole and Walpole,
perhaps through the written procedures, it is very confusing. She said she didn’t think it should be one way
for people in Walpole and another way for those in North Walpole when someone
from North Walpole has to appear in Walpole.
She said the delay is creating a problem for them since they are trying
to sell the building, they would have done the extra legwork to move the
application forward at tonight’s meeting.
Ch.
Miller said some confusion is created over the two separate Zoning Ordinances
for Walpole and N. Walpole. The
differences create separate procedures.
Sec.
Aslinger said if the Board instructed her to do so, she could make an explicit
effort to notify and invite North Walpole to be a part of any application that
involves them, to avoid this situation in the future.
Mr.
Dill asked if the Board could approve just one lot. Ch. Miller said it would not be possible.
Mr.
DiBernardo asked if they could get a conditional approval since most of the
issues are simply awaiting already discussed permitting. Ch. Miller said he thought some of the issues
prevented the Board from doing a conditional approval.
Ms.
Aslinger said having attended the site visit, she was still concerned over the
erosion, she said she wasn’t comfortable giving a conditional approval without
more information. Members felt that was
more of a landowner’s issue, that a lending institution might be more
interested.
Ch.
Miller said years ago a gentleman wanted to start a commercial auto repair
business but he couldn’t get financing because of the erosion factor, the
lender felt he couldn’t pay the loan off before the building eroded.
Mr.
DeCoste wanted input from the Commissioner’s before a final decision is made.
Ch. Miller called for final
comments, being none he announced that the Public Hearing would be continued as
well as the Board’s review at the November 14, 2006 meeting to be held in the
Town Hall at 7:30pm. He said the Board
will send maps and ask for formal input to the Commissioner’s, if we do not
hear from them, then we’ll assume they agree with the proposal as submitted.
Mr.
Dill said the applicant should be prepared to answer questions from Selectmen
Sawyer regarding the access off Marshall St., he was concerned at the
preliminary review about drainage issues.
II. Review application submitted for
completeness
D. Walpole D &
D, LLC Minor 2 lot subdivision - It was announced that the street location was
incorrect on the hearing notice and agenda, however, the map and lot number was
shown correctly. Sec. Aslinger said she
felt the Board properly noticed the application. Mr. Dill recused himself, Ms. Aslinger was
designated in his place. The subdivision
is located on Hooper and Wentworth roads in the Residential A District, Map 8
Lot 15. Sec. Aslinger said the
application
had been submitted complete prior to the required deadline, fees received,
abutters
notified,
hearings posted. Ch. Miller called for a
motion to accept the application as complete, it was so moved and seconded, the
motion carried unanimously.
III. Meeting closed/Public Hearing opened.
D. Walpole D &
D, LLC - Mr. Fred Dill presented the
plans showing where the farm house is being subdivided from lot 2 and the
surrounding parcels. Mr. Hansel asked
for a
Walpole
Planning Board Minutes 10/10/06 page 6
location,
Mr. Dill described the location for him.
Ch. Miller asked about the land south of Hooper Road, why was it being
shown on the plan. Mr. Dill said there
were actually 3 lots on that side, bound by a stonewall, they were in 3
separate lots of record he has purchased all three to make one large lot. Ch. Miller asked if the septic system for the
farmhouse was across the street. Mr.
Dill said the septic is across the street but they will relocate it to be on
the same lot as the house behind the garage, test pits have been dug. It was noted the zone changes to Residential
B on the other side of the road.
Mr.
Dance abutter, asked about Hooper Rd. it is maintained by the Town, he asked
about future development on the south end, whether the road would need to be
upgraded.
Ch.
Miller said it was a good point, the road being very narrow and in fair condition. He said if the area is to be developed on a
larger scale, then the road would need to be brought up to a higher standard to
handle the increased traffic. Currently
the road is “paved”, top coated with a recycled pavement and has drainage
problems which have led to potholes.
Mr.
Dance asked about Lot 2 being very wet.
Mr. Dill said he does not know if it would be considered wetlands, test
pits have been dug and could handle one or two homes. Mr. Dance asked if Mr. Dill was planning on
further subdivision of the lot, noting it has the frontage? Mr. Dill said it does have frontage for 4
lots. Mr. Dance said he was criticized
about the development of his property being the cause of increased traffic on
Wentworth Rd., if Mr. Dill develops this area, how will that effect increased
traffic? Mr. Dill said in a snapshot,
they are planning to build 10 homes on the entire 40 acres, although they are
allowed as many as 40 homes. Mr. Dance
asked what the building standards would be?
Mr. Dill said they would be at least 2500 sq. ft. homes with attached 2
car garages, by deed restriction. He
said they would be similar to the homes he has built on Old Keene Rd. Mr. Dance said he was concerned as an abutter
about the potential for cluster housing noting the Boards recent
discussions. Mr. Dill said he was not
planning a cluster development, the Town does not have a cluster development
ordinance and he did not agree the Town needed a cluster development option and
emphatically does not propose or support it.
Mr.
Dance said his property is up for sale, although they would like to stay, he is
concerned that 300 to 400 thousand dollar homes built nearby would effect his
property value. Mr. Dill said the lots
alone are likely to sell for that amount without the homes.
Mr.
Dance said his biggest concern is the increased traffic and condition of Hooper
Rd. Ch. Miller said it was a good point
and would be addressed. Mr. Fletcher
asked if Lot 2 was going to be further subdivided. Mr. Dill said if they do, it will be part of
the final proposal including all the lots to be subdivided. They would come in all at once. He is mainly concerned with subdividing the
house so it can be sold immediately. Ms.
Aslinger noted the importance of a developer to come in with their entire plans
rather than many minor subdivisions.
Without knowing the entire scale of a development the Town cannot
properly plan for its potential impact on Town services such as Road upgrades. Ch. Miller agreed with the Dance’s point
about the road condition being a matter of safety, the potential upgrade costs
should be borne by the applicant since they will have the most benefit from its
upgrade. Some felt a passable road
should be part of what you get for your taxes, noting the upgrade may be offset
by the tax revenue generated.
Mr.
Anderson said he lives in one of Mr. Dill’s built homes and would like to be
assured Hooper Road would not be changed to Dill Rd. All agreed it was not a change that Mr.
Taylor would be likely to allow.
Ch.
Miller called for final comments, being none he closed the Public Hearing and
re-opened the meeting.
V. Action on Walpole D & D, LLC minor
2 lot subdivision
Ch. Miller called for board
action on the application. A motion was
made and seconded to approved the minor 2 lot subdivision as proposed. Motion carried unanimously. Ch. and
Walpole
Planning Board Minutes 10/10/06 page 7
Vice Ch. Miller’s signed the
maps and mylar. Mr. Dill agreed to
record the plans at the Registry of Deeds.
VI. New Business: Preliminary Conceptual Consultations
A. Mr. Eric Frink
- Merriam Rd. Class VI Road Resoultion. Mr. Frink was present with
his grandfather. He stated he would like
to build a house on a piece of land that is 500 - 600 feet down Merriam Rd.
from where the Town maintenance ends, he said he wanted to fix up the road just
to meet his needs to get in and out. He
asked what would be needed. Sec.
Aslinger said Sheldon Sawyer had requested this be added to tonight’s
agenda. It is a Class VI Road
“Resolution”, if the Planning Board could make their recommendation the Board
of Selectmen would hold the public hearing.
She asked Mr. Frink if he had brought any drawings for the Board to
review, he had not. Ch. Miller said to
come back to the next meeting, to bring a survey, the meeting date is November
14th. Myra Mansouri asked for
clarification on the distance in.
Ch.
Miller asked if they owned all the land along the 5-600 feet. Answer was no.
B. Bensonwood Homes Site Plan Reivew for a 56 x
100 ft. storage shed. Mr. Randall
Walter presented. He submitted plans,
fees and an application. He described
and showed where the location is, stating it was going to be used for storage
of about 2 homes that are not completed in time for construction prior to
winter. He said the building would look
similar to the new building at Fall Mountain Building Supply. He said it meets all the set back
requirements. It is about 30 feet high,
being shorter than the building ahead of it.
They’ve done the physical layout and he invited anyone to come and see
what it looks like. He said the building
is very screened with trees and is barely visible. He said they included in the design
provisions that could lead to a covered loading area in the future. Mr. Dill asked what the size of the property
is, answer was 11 plus acres. Mr. Walter
said he did not feel they were going beyond what was allowed for the property
indicating they had allowed for a large portion of permeable surfaces, a
community garden and outdoor area. Sec.
Aslinger provided them with a copy of the Site Plan Review regulations asking
they include the “Check list” with their application submission by the 10/30/06
deadline for the Nov. 14, 2006 meeting.
She said if they were requesting waivers this would be required to be
included with their application. There
was a comment made about a previously granted special exception because it is
in the Rural Agricultural district and there were Current Use issues. Mr. Walter said the property is very limited
and more expansion is unlikely. He asked
about the procedure, was told the Board would review the application at the
next meeting and hold the Public Hearing.
From there they would apply for their building permit with the
Selectmen, Ch. Miller reminded the Board
would be meeting in the upstairs of the Town Hall due to ballot counting.
Sec.
Aslinger said if they are submitting their application tonight, they still need
to look through the Site Plan Review Regulations for conformance and submit the
checklist within the deadline for the next meeting. She said if there are any changes to the
plans, they also need to be resubmitted by the deadline. Myra Mansouri asked if Bensonwood’s prior
special exception, plans and applications would be brought to the meeting for
reference. Mr. Walter said they would
bring their plans, the Planning Board can also bring up their records on
file. The Board
agreed to add their Site
Plan Review application to the November 14, 2006 agenda pending receipt of the
application materials on or before 10/30/06.
C. Jim Mort 2 Lot Minor Subdivision located on
Brewery Rd. Mr. Mort submitted an application for review
at the Nov. 14th meeting. He proposes to
subdivide 2 lots from his parcel Map 14 Lot 11. The existing northern house is
already on it’s own lot 11-1 from a previous subdivision. Proposed subdivided Lot 1 is 16 acres and
includes all of the existing cabins.
Proposed
subdivided Lot 2 is 15 acres includes a pond and existing house. Both lots have
Walpole
Planning Board Minutes 10/10/06 Page 8
frontage
on Brewery Rd. with access for both lots at the end of Brewery Rd. along a
shared ROW. Sec. Aslinger asked Mr. Mort
to renumber the lots on the plans to reflect the subdivision
proposal
and to resubmit corrected maps by 10/30/06.
A motion to add the application
to the agenda for Nov. 14, 2006 and schedule the Public Hearing pending receipt
of the corrected maps was made and seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
D. Brendon Honey - Mr. Honey was asked to
appear by the Selectmen to clarify that the project he is working on, formerly
the Irish property on Main St., is not an apartment. Mr. Honey said it is a building similar to
what was taken down, houses a half bath, a loft and a downstairs, no one will be
living in it. Ch. Miller thanked Mr.
Honey for appearing.
VII. Communications and Miscellaneous
A. Other - Sec. Aslinger said member Ben Daviss in an earlier
e-mail, thought the Board should consider a work session to go over potential
zoning amendments and Master Plan review since tonight’s agenda was so
full. Myra Mansouri said she was
concerned about potential changes affecting the existing ordinance making it
less cohesive. Ch. Miller said he wasn’t
aware of any specific changes and doubted whether there would be anything
substantial enough to hold work sessions on.
He said in response to Ms. Mansouri’s concern that changes go through
the Public Hearing process allowing for input before they are proposed.
Members
did not schedule a work session for October.
Sec. Aslinger mentioned the Zoning change proposed by the Dearborn
Circle petition, Ch. Miller asked to have it added to the November agenda.
I. B.
Minutes of 9/12/06, 9/16/06, correction to 7/11/06.
Sec.
Aslinger asked to have the minutes of 7/11/06 corrected to include a missing
discussion on the Cellco’s tower request to have be taller than the regulations
allow. She said Mr. Daviss had relayed
the discussion via e-mail to her when she asked about the meeting she did not
attend. She thought it was important
information to include since it specifically indicated that towers greater than
100 ft. are not allowed in the Telecommunications Ordinance. The discussion specified, while the waiver
was granted for this application, it did not set a precedent for applications
in the future. She read Mr. Daviss
message to the Board.
Members
who were in attendance at the July meeting agreed the discussion had taken
place and agreed to have Mr. Daviss’s e-mail response added to the minutes.
A motion to approve the
minutes as presented for 9/12/06 and 9/16/06 was made, seconded and carried
unanimously.
VIII. Meeting Adjouned at 9:10pm.
Added Note: Ch. Miller received a letter of resignation
from Alternate Member Ray Boas, while this
was not brought up before the meeting adjourned, he asked the record reflect
his receipt of the resignation.
