Correspondence.
[6:09]
Mr. Chair, we have two pieces of correspondence today.
[6:12]
Both are informational only.
[6:16]
The first is an email from the NHMA New Hampshire
[6:19]
Municipal Association.
[6:21]
Just letting us know that the new
[6:23]
and latest issue of New Hampshire Town
[6:25]
and City Magazine is now available.
[6:29]
And the other is an email that was received
[6:31]
by our planning director from Michael McCormick,
[6:34]
who's representing SI 61 Crystal Ave.
[6:36]
Here in Derry. Again, this is just
[6:39]
for the board's information only.
[6:40]
No actions required at this point.
[6:42]
That's gonna go to zoning. But there, there are photos
[6:45]
of the property that would represent the roof
[6:48]
and wall colors together at this building at 61 Crystal.
[6:54]
Okay. Thank you very much.
[6:57]
We now have other business.
[7:01]
We have promo promo proposed amendments to the policies
[7:04]
and procedures.
[7:06]
So that is on in your packet, both physical and electronic.
[7:13]
Has everyone had a chance to review those since the last set
[7:17]
of changes at the
[7:21]
last, last reading?
[7:32]
Are there any, we'll give you a moment
[7:35]
or two to look at 'em.
[7:36]
Any any questions or comments?
[7:43]
Okay. If
[7:48]
not, what is the board's pleasure?
[7:54]
We need two clean reads.
[7:56]
So we would have a second clean read
[7:58]
and then a vote at the next meeting.
[8:00]
Yeah. So if there are no changes,
[8:01]
Both would be to move it on to the fifth
[8:04]
or sixth reading, whatever it was.
[8:07]
Yeah. Well this is the first time you had actual changes
[8:10]
to look at, so, okay.
[8:11]
Yeah. So we would, we would do a second clean read
[8:16]
and then a vote on the 20th if the board is okay
[8:19]
with the draft as written.
[8:21]
Okay. I'm,
[8:24]
I have no problems with it Also.
[8:27]
So I guess we don't, we don't,
[8:28]
if there's no objections, we don't need a, a motion.
[8:30]
We will. That's right. Move it to the next reading. Okay.
[8:37]
We have an architectural design review
[8:40]
for sign in the West Running Brook.
[8:42]
District Parcel ID 0 5 0 3 9 1 Scottish Way,
[8:47]
unit one for State Farm Insurance.
[8:51]
Okay. So very similar to any application in the, the TBOD.
[8:55]
The West Running Brook district requires
[8:57]
that the planning board review the proposed signage
[9:02]
before signed permit is issued.
[9:05]
So State Farm Insurance is moving from 10 Manchester Road
[9:08]
to the new commercial building located at one Scottish Way.
[9:11]
And then the proposed signage for
[9:13]
that unit is attached to your memo.
[9:15]
And the recommendation would be to approve it as presented.
[9:19]
Any comments or questions on the proposed signage?
[9:25]
If not, what is the board's pleasure
[9:27]
Mr.
[9:28]
Chair? I move pursuant to the town
[9:30]
of dairy zoning ordinance, article 12
[9:33]
signs section 1 65 dash 1 0 1 12
[9:38]
signs and the WRB to approve the sign designed, presented
[9:42]
for State Farm Insurance.
[9:45]
Possible 0 5 0 3 9 1 Scottish Way,
[9:49]
unit one as presented.
[9:51]
The board finds a sign as compatible
[9:53]
with the surrounding buildings,
[9:55]
meets the regulations contained in the ordinance
[9:58]
and compliments the surrounding architect.
[10:00]
I so move. Second.
[10:02]
Moved by O'Connor, seconded by Maby to accept
[10:05]
the sign as presented.
[10:07]
Mr. Chase? Yes. Mr. Wood? Yes. Mr. Menini? Yes.
[10:12]
Mr. O'Connor? Yes. Mr. Mozzie? Yes. Mr. Pier? Yes. Mr. Maby?
[10:16]
Yes. Chair votes? Yes. Great, thank you.
[10:22]
Next is planning director
[10:25]
and chairman updates.
[10:28]
Okay. So we have not any, any had any TRC recently,
[10:32]
so I have nothing to update you with regard to that.
[10:35]
However, our next meeting on the 20th,
[10:38]
we'll have five applications.
[10:40]
So, because that'll be a little bit more
[10:42]
intense meeting than we've had.
[10:44]
If you are not going to be present, please let me know
[10:47]
as soon as possible because we really need
[10:49]
to make sure we have a quorum that night.
[10:52]
And I also just wanted to remind everyone
[10:55]
that there is a planning
[10:56]
and zoning conference this Saturday.
[10:58]
You can attend virtually
[11:00]
and if you want to sign up for that, please let myself
[11:03]
or Caroline know and we can take care of that for you.
[11:06]
It's really good training put on by the State
[11:11]
Office of Planning and Development.
[11:13]
So you're interested in that?
[11:15]
Yeah. So I'm attending, they have three tracks.
[11:19]
You have to sign up for one of them,
[11:20]
but they don't stop you from skipping from track to track.
[11:24]
New members might want to just absorb all the basics,
[11:28]
but if you've, you know, been to them before
[11:29]
and you want to go look at some special topics, you
[11:32]
on a time slot basis,
[11:34]
you can switch from from track to track.
[11:36]
Yeah. Yeah.
[11:39]
And the only thing I have is, Mr.
[11:43]
Applicant, how you doing on your recruiting?
[11:47]
I'm away outta East. No pressure. Okay.
[11:51]
Oh, but we're the fun board. Come on. Fun. Fun.
[11:54]
Yeah. We we're the board of, yes.
[11:55]
So we're, it's the fun board. I'm, I'm
[11:57]
Working on it, but I can't make any
[11:59]
Promises.
[12:00]
Okay. So that's all I have. Oh,
[12:02]
I have one more item if I could.
[12:03]
Oh. So we were informed this week
[12:06]
that Sylvia von ACH will be retiring
[12:10]
at the end of this month.
[12:12]
She's the executive director
[12:14]
for Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission.
[12:16]
She has been my entire career a mentor to me
[12:20]
and a, she has a, she has a very, she has a way
[12:25]
of making planning fun.
[12:27]
And she has taught me along the way, you know,
[12:32]
you take the job seriously, don't take yourself seriously.
[12:35]
And she's just been a guiding light
[12:37]
and she's gonna be truly missed.
[12:39]
Nate Miller will be stepping into her position and,
[12:43]
and then I think the deputy executive director will be
[12:46]
Suzanne Neighbor, whom you're all familiar with
[12:47]
because she's helped us out on a lot of
[12:50]
our outreach here in town.
[12:53]
They will be having a going away party for Sylvia.
[12:56]
If you're interested in attending that.
[12:58]
It will be during the day, let me know.
[13:00]
But she is,
[13:04]
the commission's gonna be in great hands with Nate,
[13:07]
but Sylvia will definitely be missed.
[13:10]
Okay, great. Well thank you for that update.
[13:15]
So now we have workshop number five
[13:18]
to discuss proposed changes for
[13:20]
Article six District provisions section 1 65 dash 33
[13:25]
Central Business District.
[13:28]
We've seen this several times before.
[13:31]
There are a number of maps that are in your package
[13:37]
and while it might be tempting the fates, I have
[13:40]
the GS system on a laptop here and,
[13:42]
and I'm gonna try to join the meeting and,
[13:43]
and be able to share that screen so
[13:46]
that we can drive it live and look at things in real time.
[13:50]
So I don't know how well that is gonna work.
[13:53]
Every time I try something new with av,
[13:55]
there's always a bug.
[13:58]
So am I allowed to
[14:02]
Yes, Mr.
[14:03]
Chair, you should have received a notification to join the
[14:05]
as a panelist, which will allow you
[14:07]
to share your screen. I'll try that one more
[14:11]
Time.
[14:12]
Oh, there it is. There you go. Okay.
[14:14]
Rejoining a little spinny. All right.
[14:21]
So share and Owen, we trust share this application window.
[14:27]
Okay. Want sound?
[14:31]
Alright, so let's kind of
[14:36]
recap where we were
[14:37]
and what we thought we needed to work on.
[14:40]
Right? Most of the items
[14:45]
I think were, were pretty set on,
[14:51]
but we did want to continue to figure out
[14:53]
what we're gonna do with a couple of items.
[14:56]
And in specific the
[15:01]
preservation of streetscape.
[15:03]
The way that reads now,
[15:09]
let's see if I can find that.
[15:10]
I'll read that for you.
[15:16]
So we have a, a maximum front yard depth similar to
[15:21]
what we have in the TBOD.
[15:24]
And item A says,
[15:25]
when the lot width at the front lot line is 75 feet
[15:28]
or less, the maximum yard depth shall be eight feet
[15:33]
or the average of the existing yard depths,
[15:35]
four 100 feet in every direction
[15:37]
along the street, whichever is greater.
[15:39]
And b, when the lot width at the front lot line is greater
[15:42]
than 75 feet, the maximum yard depth shall be 25 feet.
[15:46]
So we've got two, two sets of, of,
[15:50]
of dimensions depending on the width of the lot.
[15:52]
And it really has to do with aspect ratios.
[15:54]
If you've got a really narrow lot,
[15:55]
you don't want things set back too far.
[15:58]
And what works with that is I parking
[16:03]
restriction,
[16:08]
which, where, where is that?
[16:14]
Okay, the parking is that one
[16:17]
all off street parking areas shall be
[16:19]
provided in such a way that no vehicle will be required
[16:23]
or will be likely to back into the street or access drive.
[16:28]
We talked about that during our district walk about the
[16:33]
dangers of, of vehicles backing right out into the street.
[16:36]
Number two, no parking, storage
[16:38]
or display of vehicles shall be allowed
[16:40]
between the front lot line in line parallel with the front
[16:43]
of the structure closest to the front lot line,
[16:46]
which basically means you can't
[16:48]
park cars in front of the building.
[16:51]
Although in looking at the GIS one of the things
[16:54]
that we don't really
[16:57]
necessarily notice when we're doing a site walk is that
[17:00]
the lot lines are often not where you would think they are.
[17:05]
The paved street is not often in the center
[17:08]
of the public right of way.
[17:10]
And so where those paved sections are a, a bit offset,
[17:17]
we can't really, the the,
[17:20]
the planning board can't prevent folks from parking
[17:23]
in the public right of way off the pavement.
[17:25]
That would be a town council kind of regulation.
[17:29]
But we, we, we just prevent them from parking
[17:31]
heading in, in front of the building.
[17:33]
And then otherwise, as
[17:35]
provided in the land development control regulations,
[17:40]
the idea was to provide some more flexibility
[17:42]
for landscape and layout.
[17:45]
No one suggested that they wanted to see, you know,
[17:48]
parking lots in, in front of a building, like a,
[17:51]
a strip mall style.
[17:52]
So this is where we are at.
[17:56]
Is everyone happy with that
[17:58]
or do we wanna consider some other options?
[18:10]
I would say we'd continue on
[18:12]
with this one here, what you did.
[18:14]
'cause a lot of it came out when we did the sidewalk walk
[18:17]
and we actually saw a lot of the visual there
[18:19]
and it made more sense. So I would
[18:21]
Concur.
[18:22]
So I'm gonna try to drive the mouse
[18:23]
and talk into the mic at the same time.
[18:25]
We'll see how that works. So on the screen
[18:29]
in front of you, the brown, the tan
[18:34]
where, where you see the, the mouse currently that is the,
[18:38]
the, the CBD and it kind of wraps around
[18:43]
the, there's some residential district here, right there.
[18:47]
And then north of it, the TBOD actually extends
[18:53]
down into the core of the CBD.
[18:57]
The CBD goes all the way back to Rollin Street wraps
[19:00]
around down Birch Street, goes all the way down to,
[19:02]
you know, the South Ave and beyond.
[19:05]
And then it comes around the other side down Maple Street
[19:10]
and down Central Street.
[19:15]
So it's kind of a horseshoe shaped.
[19:17]
And I'll notice that the lots that we primarily looked at
[19:23]
were those along here along Birch Street
[19:26]
and along South Ave, which are, are the smaller, you know,
[19:30]
residential conversion.
[19:31]
Lots. I'll, I'll observe that in other parts of
[19:35]
that district there are some much more sizable parcels.
[19:41]
I don't know how many of them are likely
[19:43]
to be redeveloped in any short timeframe,
[19:47]
but if we would like to, you know, consider special
[19:52]
provisions for those, we can maybe try to identify them and
[19:56]
and, and take a look at them on on the map.
[19:59]
Does anyone have any, any thoughts on that?
[20:03]
I'm, I'm happy to go either way, honestly.
[20:06]
I mean I, I think given the redevelopment in Abbott court,
[20:10]
that little triangle of central court, central Street
[20:15]
where 1, 2, 3, 4 or five, six lot like
[20:18]
So in right in Here.
[20:19]
Yeah. Yeah. I think that there's some
[20:23]
existing multifamily there
[20:26]
and some single family 23 central is going
[20:29]
before the zoning board tomorrow night for variance so
[20:33]
that they can redevelop that lot.
[20:35]
That is an area that might have,
[20:38]
we might see redevelopment
[20:40]
or reuse of those lots sooner than we would say
[20:45]
anything further down Birch Street
[20:48]
over near the gas station.
[20:51]
So I could try to zoom in.
[20:54]
This thing's awfully sensitive and I may just
[20:58]
Completely lose It.
[21:02]
Bear with me here. So one
[21:06]
of the things I can do if I'm smart is I can use the
[21:10]
measurement tool that's not the measurement
[21:13]
Tool. Boy
[21:15]
This mouse is kind of sketchy. Alright, let's
[21:17]
Go over the laptop.
[21:22]
So for example, this
[21:26]
lot here,
[21:35]
that's 79 or 81 feet depending on you look at, so most
[21:38]
of the lots over there are gonna be above the 75 foot and
[21:42]
therefore have the, the the 25 foot yes.
[21:45]
Setback. And so I guess the question is in that area, is
[21:49]
that sufficient flexibility for development of those lots,
[21:54]
Mr.
[21:55]
Chair? I would say isn't there that one of the lots,
[21:57]
isn't there a, a site plan coming in front of us pretty soon
[22:01]
regarding the five condos
[22:03]
that they're proposing? Or is that going
[22:05]
That'll, that'll be at ZBA tomorrow night.
[22:07]
That's tomorrow night with them.
[22:08]
Yeah. But
[22:10]
Yeah, so a big chunk of that's gonna have five condos.
[22:15]
Yeah. Right.
[22:18]
And of course that's probably got interior,
[22:20]
interior access drives and, and all that kind of stuff.
[22:23]
Yeah. And I think in that area
[22:25]
the 25 foot setback is more appropriate than the eight,
[22:29]
given the characteristics of that
[22:32]
Part.
[22:33]
Okay. Are there any other parcels
[22:38]
that people are specifically interested
[22:42]
and would like to drive to and,
[22:45]
and take a look at on, on the map
[22:47]
before we kind of try to wrap up on this if we're,
[22:51]
if if we have consensus?
[22:56]
Well, No,
[22:59]
If you really look at that section down through there,
[23:02]
there's only two properties that really have
[23:08]
any kind of a setback to 'em.
[23:09]
All the rest of them are right on the street. So,
[23:15]
Well, I guess the question is when there's redevelopment,
[23:17]
is it reuse, adaptive reuse
[23:21]
or is it a tear down?
[23:23]
Rebuild
[23:25]
23 I believe is gonna be a tear down. That's the, that
[23:29]
Was where the fire Was.
[23:30]
That was where the fire was.
[23:30]
That one's gonna be a tear down.
[23:32]
Yeah, I know it has changed
[23:35]
because the, the variance is gonna be
[23:38]
to eliminate the commercial portion of it, which
[23:42]
goes against what we're trying to do here.
[23:45]
It is. So,
[23:56]
and yes, there are some, some, there's a couple
[23:59]
of larger parcels there,
[24:01]
but if you look at one, that would be
[24:07]
a, if, if the time ever came, if you just to the left
[24:11]
of your arrow, Mr. Chair
[24:13]
Over here, Right there,
[24:15]
that's a sizeable parcel. Alright. So that's,
[24:17]
There's Quite a few buildings on it
[24:19]
and it actually doesn't have any
[24:22]
street frontage to speak of.
[24:25]
It's Not given, they call it, they call it store
[24:27]
of court, but it's really not a street,
[24:31]
it's more of a driveway.
[24:33]
So if they go to redevelop that, I mean that could be a a,
[24:39]
a really nice project in there,
[24:40]
but they really don't have any streets scape for that one.
[24:44]
So that one didn't matter. Oh, you're forbidden
[24:47]
Row.
[24:48]
Okay. We, we'll try, I'm not trying that again.
[24:49]
You could click on the vision link,
[24:50]
it might give you what you need.
[24:54]
So I'm not, I I
[24:59]
I can't say that I'm opposed to the 25 foot setback.
[25:06]
I, I can't get the little,
[25:07]
It just seems to me that we're kind
[25:09]
of piecemealing it from like Burt Street
[25:12]
where we want eight feet to Central Ave.
[25:14]
Which most of the houses
[25:15]
or most of the structures are on the
[25:17]
street except for a couple.
[25:19]
And now you're saying, well it's okay for 25 foot there,
[25:23]
it seems we're working against ourselves.
[25:27]
I can't get to the 0.00 I had it for a second
[25:30]
where I can hit the X to dismiss it anyway, it's gone.
[25:34]
Okay.
[25:36]
That's the only point that I wanted to make there. Oh,
[25:38]
There it is.
[25:39]
Okay. Yeah. So the screen sharing stopped.
[25:43]
So I thought
[25:44]
that if I clicked on the parcel identifier it would give you
[25:47]
the, the acreage, but I guess
[25:48]
It doesn't Oh, under, you'd have to under vision it would
[25:51]
you have to click on vision, go into it
[25:53]
Before you're right. It
[25:54]
Used to be right there.
[25:56]
So I I I guess the, the question is
[26:01]
yes, we could have some that are tear downs
[26:04]
and is is a, is a 25 foot maximum setback Okay.
[26:08]
For, for those people. 'cause I,
[26:10]
I think we still don't necessarily wanna a strip mall kind
[26:14]
of development in this downtown area.
[26:16]
Right? Anyone
[26:17]
Disagree?
[26:18]
No. Correct. Correct.
[26:19]
Okay. Mr. Chair. Yeah.
[26:24]
What about adding to par to
[26:29]
line B or the average
[26:35]
depth of the yard for 100 feet in every direction?
[26:38]
Whichever is less.
[26:39]
So it could be a maximum of a maximum of 25 feet
[26:44]
or whatever the average is.
[26:47]
So we don't have a, someone tearing down Well,
[26:51]
So that, that's for the, the the 70 less than 75,
[26:54]
which is a maximum of eight.
[26:59]
Right? I'm saying for the ones greater than 75, 25 feet
[27:02]
or the average of the average depth
[27:07]
for a hundred feet in either direction,
[27:08]
whichever those is, is less.
[27:10]
So it would be a maximum of 25 feet. We,
[27:13]
We, we could, I think in, in the areas
[27:16]
that we were looking at, I could probably bring this up
[27:18]
again if, if you wanna look at it again
[27:20]
that the parcels are, are regular m
[27:23]
and measuring along the street might be trickier than it is
[27:26]
in the rows and rows of, of sort of uniform lots.
[27:30]
I don't wanna create a a reg that's,
[27:32]
that's difficult to interpret.
[27:34]
But that's a, that's a, that's a good point,
[27:36]
Right?
[27:37]
I just wouldn't want someone to tear down, build something
[27:40]
with a larger setback than the, the items around just
[27:43]
because they're lots a little larger.
[27:46]
And, and I guess that's gonna depend upon
[27:48]
the, the vision of the developer.
[27:49]
If they wanna have that downtown vibe, they'll,
[27:51]
they'll sort of mimic what's around them.
[27:53]
If, if they, if they really wanna be in general commercial
[27:56]
and there's no land there and they're going here
[27:58]
because that's all they got, then that's a different story.
[28:06]
Anyone else think that we ought to make the 25
[28:11]
also dependent upon neighbors?
[28:15]
What's the thoughts on that?
[28:18]
I, I don't think it's such a bad idea.
[28:22]
If you, if you, I mean staying on Central Street,
[28:25]
if you go down Central Street
[28:27]
and once you go past central court on the even side
[28:30]
of the street, all the houses are fairly
[28:33]
even close to the road.
[28:35]
If you look at the odd side of the street, you've got
[28:39]
the garage that's right on the street, then the building
[28:43]
behind it is set way back.
[28:45]
Then the next building is on the street and the one
[28:48]
after that is on the street
[28:49]
and then the one that's gonna be
[28:51]
redeveloped is sitting way back.
[28:52]
And then the next two are right on the street
[28:55]
and it's if you drive down
[28:57]
and it's not the vision that we're trying to have here.
[29:02]
So anything that would get that to what we are looking for,
[29:07]
I'm in favor of if you only go a hundred feet
[29:13]
and the average width of the lot is 80 feet,
[29:16]
that means it's only gonna be the building on each side.
[29:19]
You might wanna consider moving
[29:21]
that up 200 feet on each side.
[29:26]
Okay. Do you have some
[29:30]
specific texts that you kinda think would effectuate that?
[29:36]
I'm sorry, I'm not really paying full attention.
[29:38]
I'm trying to get the GIS working again.
[29:42]
So you wanna say for the, for the wider ones,
[29:45]
go out 200 feet
[29:46]
On each side?
[29:47]
Yes. The average of
[29:48]
Okay.
[29:49]
200 feet on each side.
[29:49]
So when, so when the lot width at the front lot line is
[29:52]
greater than 75 feet,
[29:53]
the maximum yard depth shall be 25 feet
[29:56]
or the average of the existing yard depths
[30:00]
for 200 feet in every direction along the street,
[30:03]
whichever is less.
[30:05]
Yes.
[30:12]
Let's see. And Mr.
[30:13]
Chair, I usually find a baseball bat cures my
[30:16]
computer problems very well.
[30:18]
Well apparently I, I did something that I didn't like
[30:20]
and it and it crashed though.
[30:21]
Okay.
[30:23]
That's unfortunate.
[30:24]
So trying to get back to where we're supposed to be.
[30:36]
No.
[30:59]
So is does everyone like that amendment?
[31:05]
I'm fine with it. Okay.
[31:06]
Okay. So then we can go ahead and and do that.
[31:11]
Yeah, they're composing a motion down there.
[31:14]
Okay. I do have a question regarding the
[31:20]
front lot line
[31:25]
that is always, I know that it says it's the lot line
[31:29]
where your front entrance faces,
[31:34]
sometimes your front entrance
[31:39]
is on a different street than your driveway
[31:43]
and the fire department assigns addresses based on like,
[31:47]
I just wanna make sure that we're clear when we're talking
[31:50]
about what is the front when we've got multiple,
[31:54]
like you might have a lot
[31:55]
that has two streets or even three streets,
[31:58]
Mr. Chair.
[32:00]
Yep. Can I respond to that? Sure.
[32:06]
A few years ago I was in charge
[32:07]
of the whole southern district by doing the census
[32:11]
and we all had it used to be done by paper.
[32:14]
Yep. Similar to looking at some of our paper
[32:18]
and what the census was trying to do was
[32:23]
reposition what was going to be the address
[32:29]
and I'm gonna lean more towards
[32:31]
what the fire department's doing versus the driveway.
[32:35]
'cause the driveway wasn't part of it.
[32:37]
We had to go up to every single front door
[32:40]
and the front door was the main
[32:44]
entrance for the whole thing.
[32:46]
And that was changed in 2010 during that census thing.
[32:51]
So I would go with the fire department
[32:53]
'cause typically I think they addressed the front door issue
[32:58]
to do show some of that.
[32:59]
Randy.
[33:01]
Yeah, I agree with John that to try to keep
[33:06]
everything uniform, that we ought to stick
[33:10]
with another town department if that's
[33:12]
fire department sets the addresses throughout the town
[33:16]
and to stay uniform with that.
[33:18]
I think we ought to say the front is what they give
[33:21]
for the address rather than,
[33:23]
well the fire department says this part
[33:24]
of the house is the front,
[33:26]
but code enforcement says the other side is the front.
[33:29]
It's, it's just too confusing.
[33:31]
I think we need one uniform designation
[33:35]
and the easiest way is, is go with the master authority
[33:39]
that at dish out the addresses.
[33:42]
Yeah. Both the census
[33:43]
and the American census still
[33:45]
follows of the federal government.
[33:47]
Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's polite to look at Mr. Chase.
[33:52]
But you gotta like speak into
[33:53]
The mic.
[33:54]
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought, I thought it was close enough.
[33:58]
So the, the only thing I'll observe is
[34:00]
that on corner lots,
[34:02]
because wherever the frontage is,
[34:07]
whatever the address is that will have a
[34:11]
control on the, on the, the setback in order
[34:15]
to preserve the street scape on, on that street.
[34:18]
But as soon as you go
[34:19]
around the corner onto the adjacent street,
[34:22]
that is now the side setback, which only has a minimum
[34:26]
and could be whatever you want.
[34:28]
So on corner lots, if, if we try
[34:32]
to prevent folks from parking cars in front of the building
[34:37]
where their address is, there's nothing
[34:39]
that stops them from going around the corner on the, on the,
[34:43]
the side street, which is also a frontage setting that back
[34:48]
however much they want and putting cars there
[34:50]
because we talk about the frontage
[34:53]
and so that, that's a loophole.
[34:55]
Yep. I don't know if we have
[34:57]
to obsess about it, but it is a loophole.
[35:01]
There's gotta be compromises and give and takes.
[35:03]
And I think for the main street scape, what we're looking
[35:06]
for is, is we had this with the coffee shop Yeah.
[35:10]
On North app. Yep. That's a perfect example of it.
[35:14]
You maintain the street scape on the front.
[35:17]
You can't not,
[35:19]
you can't necessarily maintain it all the way around.
[35:22]
Right. If you maintained it all the way around,
[35:23]
they'd have nothing for parking, not even on street parking.
[35:27]
So to me
[35:31]
it would be a good compromise and be more building
[35:35]
or friendly, you know, retail friendly to
[35:41]
say the frontage is the address designated
[35:44]
by the fire department and if they do happen
[35:47]
to be on a corner lot
[35:49]
and they get their curb cuts through code enforcement
[35:52]
to have a driveway on that side. Okay. They have it.
[35:57]
I mean I'm not opposed to that.
[35:59]
I just wanted to point out Yeah that is a,
[36:02]
a potentially unintended con consequence.
[36:04]
Right. So
[36:08]
what I hear other than adding the, the toner feet
[36:11]
in either direction along the roadway for the,
[36:14]
the wider lots, we haven't made any other changes so far.
[36:19]
No, the only other change would be to that definition
[36:21]
of front lot line based on this conversation.
[36:24]
What I took away was that
[36:27]
that lot line which directly abuts the street side a lot
[36:29]
except for lots which have multiple lot lines which abut
[36:32]
streets, in which case the front lot line shall be deemed
[36:36]
to be that lot line abutting a street from which the address
[36:41]
as designated by the fire department is located. Okay.
[36:45]
Yeah. Now there is one other thing that I,
[36:49]
I brought up with Ms.
[36:50]
Roberto before the, the meeting.
[36:53]
I do like the idea of taking Mr.
[36:56]
Pier's architectural exceptions
[37:01]
in the district and putting it in the architectural design
[37:04]
guidelines section of the LDCR.
[37:06]
However, he's allowing coupa's
[37:10]
and other structures to be a
[37:11]
above the maximum height specified in the zoning ordinance
[37:16]
for those particular architectural elements.
[37:18]
We can't have the LDCR override the zoning ordinance
[37:22]
unless in the zoning ordinance we say maximum height of
[37:27]
above C level of X except
[37:30]
where a conditional use permit is granted subject
[37:33]
to the architectural design regulations section YYY.
[37:37]
And that will give us the ability to say, okay,
[37:39]
you got a cupula that can go above the maximum height
[37:42]
and we'll grant you a conditional use permit so
[37:45]
that we won't be a follow of the zoning ordinance.
[37:47]
Yeah. Okay.
[37:49]
So that would would be my suggestion to fix that.
[37:52]
That's, yeah. Anyone have any different thoughts?
[37:57]
No. Can you just say that again except
[38:01]
where a conditional use permit been except
[38:03]
Where a conditional use permit is granted pursuant
[38:07]
to section and quote the section
[38:10]
of the LDCR that we're adding that talks about
[38:16]
structures in the, in the CBD
[38:19]
1 70 86 3.
[38:21]
Okay.
[38:23]
I, I don't, I don't have the numbers in front of me so
[38:25]
Yeah.
[38:26]
Okay. So we would amend that item six
[38:31]
and it would be no building
[38:32]
or structure within this district shall be higher than 425
[38:36]
feet above sea level a SL as measured to the highest point
[38:39]
of the roof except
[38:40]
where a conditional use permit, blah blah blah. Yeah. Okay.
[38:44]
Mr. Wood, So the only thing I was wondering is going
[38:48]
back to once again the eight foot 25 foot setback rather
[38:53]
than using a hundred feet
[38:54]
or 200 feet, would it make more sense to just use X number
[38:57]
of lots in any other direction?
[39:01]
If The concern is you might only get one or two lots
[39:04]
and then it could be four.
[39:07]
I mean, I, I guess a hundred feet is always a hundred feet
[39:11]
lots can be, you know, merged.
[39:14]
So the, the, the number of lots could change over time.
[39:17]
I don't know if that is a problem.
[39:20]
It's just something that could happen.
[39:21]
I was just thinking for simplicity's sake rather than
[39:27]
Anyone have feelings one way or the other
[39:30]
and it's kind of 61 half a dozen the other. Yeah,
[39:32]
It really Is. Yeah.
[39:37]
I just wasn't sure because I know the concern was yeah,
[39:40]
with a hundred feet you might only get one lot. True.
[39:43]
So the other thing I'll say is we, we need
[39:45]
to get this like 85% correct.
[39:48]
We, you know, pre is the enemy of good enough so often
[39:52]
and for that 15% that we can't foresee, that's
[39:56]
what variances are for.
[40:03]
Alright. Does anyone have any other
[40:06]
items than the ones we've enumerated they would
[40:09]
like to see in the next reading?
[40:12]
Did we go over the
[40:17]
Oh, the Parking lot?
[40:18]
The parking level We the parking Oh parking lots
[40:22]
and parking structures have now have separate
[40:24]
definitions. Yeah we
[40:26]
Prob we probably should talk about that.
[40:29]
Where is that in the, what page is that
[40:30]
On?
[40:31]
What's your first page
[40:32]
Right after the maps?
[40:36]
Alright, so we have a definition,
[40:37]
multi-level parking facility,
[40:39]
a specialized structure designed
[40:40]
to house vehicles on multiple levels either
[40:42]
above or below ground.
[40:45]
And we changed a parking facility to a parking lot,
[40:48]
which is a surface level parking.
[40:52]
And where do we say you can have one and not the other?
[40:58]
So in on page three you would have, instead of a parking
[41:03]
facility, it would be multi-level parking facility.
[41:06]
Alright, so we're not allowing surface parking lots only
[41:09]
multi-level parking facilities.
[41:11]
Yes. Yes. Okay. I think that's what we intended.
[41:14]
That's what we intended. We,
[41:15]
we didn't want somebody taking down any more buildings
[41:19]
and putting in parking lot.
[41:20]
We, this came up both on the sidewalk
[41:23]
and during, I think it was workshop number three.
[41:25]
Right. And we decided we don't want any more
[41:27]
surface parking lots.
[41:28]
But if somebody wants to
[41:31]
put in a parking garage either ancillary
[41:34]
to their building or if
[41:35]
The abot court garage was compliant.
[41:36]
Correct.
[41:38]
So what we're trying to do is it's, it's, it's retail.
[41:43]
I mean they charge, so it's whether it's ancillary
[41:46]
to their commercial business or whatever,
[41:50]
or they just want a pay parking
[41:52]
garage that would be allowed.
[41:55]
But tearing down buildings to put just
[41:58]
a paved parking lot, you know.
[42:01]
Okay. We, we don't want any more paving of paradise.
[42:04]
Mr. Bel here I fully support
[42:08]
and I like the splitting of the definition.
[42:10]
I just wonder if we should include the last sentence from
[42:13]
the definition of parking lot
[42:15]
and also include that with the multi-level
[42:17]
parking facility definition.
[42:19]
It says such use shall be devoted to the parking
[42:22]
of passenger cars and specifically
[42:24]
exclude unregistered vehicles.
[42:27]
Not sure it's necessarily intent,
[42:29]
but just wanna make sure that someone's not gonna build a
[42:32]
used car multi-level facility or something like that.
[42:37]
I'm Okay with that. You mean like a carvana?
[42:39]
Yeah, something like that. Would would,
[42:41]
would we not want one of those in this area?
[42:44]
I think we would call that retail.
[42:46]
Yeah. Motor vehicle sales. I mean
[42:47]
They're for sale, right? Yeah, yeah,
[42:48]
Yeah.
[42:49]
But I I see what you're, I see what you're saying.
[42:52]
You don't want someone to,
[42:54]
To Yeah.
[42:56]
Yeah. I was, I was gonna say, so could
[42:59]
Someone would maybe quickly pave
[43:02]
a parking lot in order to put junk cars in it?
[43:04]
'cause it's not a big investment.
[43:06]
I can't imagine anyone would go to the expense
[43:08]
of building a parking garage to put junk cars in. Well,
[43:11]
No, and I think what what, where we may
[43:16]
get ourselves into trouble there is,
[43:18]
so let's use the ABBA court.
[43:20]
Part of the spaces in there are designated
[43:23]
to the apartment building.
[43:25]
So somebody has a classic car, whatever
[43:30]
and for, they don't run it for a couple of years,
[43:33]
they're paying for the parking space
[43:35]
but they don't register it for a couple of years,
[43:38]
but they're paying for that parking space.
[43:40]
Are we now telling them you can't do that as soon
[43:42]
as you know, you're going away to Europe
[43:46]
or whatever for a while, the registration runs
[43:48]
out before you get back.
[43:49]
You've gotta get it out of there.
[43:51]
I'm, we Couldn't
[43:52]
Really put, I think that the cost structure of that kind
[43:55]
of environment would be self-regulating.
[43:58]
I think so. And I think we would be intruding on
[44:03]
their rights.
[44:04]
I mean they're paying for that space.
[44:08]
I doubt somebody's gonna go in there
[44:10]
and pay for 50 spaces to put used cars in there.
[44:15]
So to your point, I believe it would be self-regulating.
[44:17]
I just don't wanna get ourselves in trouble with,
[44:20]
with the general public on, on something.
[44:22]
You know, as small as that.
[44:25]
Adding it to that, I agree with it on the, the
[44:28]
surface level parking,
[44:30]
But I really, I would hesitate
[44:33]
to put it on the multilevel
[44:34]
parking facility for those reasons.
[44:37]
Alright. Any other things we, we wanna review or revisit?
[44:42]
The only thing I would just ask if the board could indulge
[44:45]
me and just review the wording of the purpose statement
[44:48]
and make sure that it meets the intent
[44:50]
of why we're doing these changes.
[44:52]
Alright, so Which is right at the top of page,
[44:56]
the first page of the draft.
[45:00]
So the bottom of page one or the top of page one, one
[45:03]
Top of page one purpose.
[45:06]
Alright. So is that part of the ordinance?
[45:09]
Generally, anytime that we do the zoning changes,
[45:12]
we always, it's this one,
[45:13]
especially when it goes to town council.
[45:15]
We always have a thing says the purpose
[45:17]
of these changes is, so
[45:18]
This, this is not normative part of the ordinance.
[45:21]
It's not part of the, this will be, this is a separate
[45:23]
thing that goes with the legal notice and all that.
[45:26]
And it identifies why we're making the changes.
[45:29]
So I just wanna make sure that everyone is in agreement with
[45:32]
that and, and it meets the intent of why we're doing
[45:34]
This.
[45:35]
All right. So the proposed changes recognize the changing
[45:37]
landscape of Southern Hampshire.
[45:39]
We are increased housing density, height of buildings
[45:41]
and commercial market trends require some form of adaptation
[45:45]
to create opportunity for economic growth
[45:48]
and development in the Cory area
[45:50]
of the downtown while maintaining the historical character
[45:53]
of the central business district that changes
[45:56]
recognize the smaller lot sizes
[45:57]
and land use patterns that have emerged in the district.
[46:02]
A question four, does that tie in with our master plan?
[46:05]
It does. Yeah. I think it sounds good.
[46:10]
Okay. I see nodding heads. Okay.
[46:13]
Thank you. Okay. All right.
[46:17]
So we we happy on on the
[46:22]
CBD changes for now until we get to public hearing.
[46:26]
So we'll have a first, well we could do a first
[46:30]
reading under other business
[46:33]
next meeting if you would like.
[46:36]
Okay. And then if everything is okay, we can
[46:39]
schedule a public hearing.
[46:41]
Okay. Excellent. Okay. Alright.
[46:44]
Finding my agenda.
[46:47]
The next item is workshop number one for changes
[46:51]
to the architectural design regulations, which
[46:54]
were proposed by Mr.
[46:55]
Pier. So let's,
[46:57]
that's a separate document, so let's look at that.
[46:59]
Oh, there, it's,
[47:04]
and what, what staff has done is they've, they followed the,
[47:10]
the numbering precedent we have set for,
[47:15]
I think that one is West running Brook.
[47:20]
District two is neighborhood commercial district
[47:22]
and three becomes central business district.
[47:25]
Right. Okay.
[47:27]
So general, in addition
[47:32]
to the requirements outlined above
[47:35]
the following architectural design standards shall apply
[47:37]
for all structures in the central business district
[47:41]
B architectural element exceptions
[47:44]
non habitable architectural features
[47:46]
in a apartments including
[47:48]
but not limited to clock towers, cupolas, steeples,
[47:51]
bell towers and chimneys may exceed the maximum elevation
[47:55]
established by up
[47:59]
to 20 feet.
[48:01]
Provided that such features do not collectively exceed
[48:05]
33% of the total gross roof area.
[48:11]
One of the things I would suggest for
[48:14]
legal cross-referencing is we could add in that
[48:19]
sentence may exceed the maximum elevation limited
[48:23]
established in section blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[48:27]
Which is the, the zoning ordinance where it gives
[48:30]
that number to include that outward reference there.
[48:35]
Okay. And then in the zoning ordinance
[48:38]
where we talk about a initial use permit, we're gonna point
[48:41]
to section one 70 dash 86.3.
[48:47]
So that pointers in either direction.
[48:51]
C, performance and design standards for increased height to
[48:55]
mitigate visual impact of building mass
[48:57]
and preserve pedestrian scale.
[48:58]
Any building or structure exceeding six stories
[49:01]
or 65 feet in height
[49:03]
as measured from the average finished grade at the street.
[49:05]
Frontage shall comply with the following standards
[49:08]
during site plan review, upper story setbacks,
[49:14]
step setbacks, the exterior front wall
[49:17]
of any story located at a height greater than 65 feet
[49:21]
above the average finished grade shall be set back
[49:23]
by a minimum of 10 feet from the primary
[49:26]
exterior front wall of the lower stories.
[49:29]
We, we see that a fair amount in, in current
[49:34]
trendy architecture where, you know,
[49:37]
you've got different roof lines,
[49:39]
you've got different setbacks.
[49:40]
The building is not just a box. Right.
[49:43]
It's funny, a lot of your larger cities did that.
[49:46]
They had a New York city had a, had a formula,
[49:51]
the, you know, setback to the hyper of the base
[49:54]
of the structure across the street, blah, blah blah.
[49:57]
Then they did away with it in the seventies, they put
[50:00]
that in, in the thirties
[50:01]
they did away with it in the seventies.
[50:03]
Now they've gone back to it again.
[50:05]
So that you don't have these, not that we're gonna get any
[50:08]
that big, but you don't have these giant boxes.
[50:11]
I agree with it. I think, I think it adds, adds to the,
[50:16]
So number two, no interrupted length
[50:19]
of any facade shall exceed 150 horizontal feet facades
[50:24]
exceeding one 50 feet in length shall incorporate wall
[50:27]
playing projections
[50:29]
or recesses having a minimum depth of three feet
[50:33]
to reduce perceived building mass.
[50:38]
Just as a scr thing.
[50:42]
The first word facade in that
[50:47]
sentence has the fancy French little descender
[50:49]
on the sea and the second one doesn't.
[50:50]
Oh. The seed
[50:57]
free building designs shall incorporate varied roof lines
[50:59]
utilizing peaches such as gables, hip roofs, stormers
[51:03]
or decorative parapets
[51:04]
to prevent continuous monotonous roof planes.
[51:08]
And for rooftop mechanical screening.
[51:11]
All rooftop mechanical equipment including
[51:13]
but not limited to HVAC units, elevator overruns,
[51:16]
ventilation systems shall be fully screened from public view
[51:21]
from adjacent street level and abutting properties.
[51:24]
I would add to that list of, of not limited to
[51:28]
solar panels having just recently gone there.
[51:34]
Right. And then it's a screening show,
[51:38]
be architecturally compatible with a primary structure
[51:41]
and may utilize parapet walls
[51:43]
or enclosed architectural features.
[51:45]
So all of that sounds, sounds very good to me.
[51:49]
And a couple suggestions for including
[51:52]
explicitly including solar panel farms
[51:54]
and maybe the front forward
[51:56]
and backwards section references.
[51:59]
Okay. Make it easy for people to figure out where the, the
[52:03]
do moving moving pieces are.
[52:05]
I think sounds good to me. Do we need to, any comments,
[52:08]
Questions?
[52:09]
Would you have a height on the solar panels? Huh?
[52:11]
Because would you have a height on the solar panels?
[52:15]
No, I'm just saying you, you screen 'em because
[52:17]
Some of 'em that's on the side, they can be up 20,
[52:20]
30 feet high in, in inside one's yard.
[52:26]
Well this is in the CBD,
[52:27]
so I don't think it's gonna be someone's yard, but, okay.
[52:30]
Okay. Anyone have thoughts
[52:34]
on deletions?
[52:36]
Additions proven. Oh, those all sound good to me.
[52:40]
Sounds good to everyone.
[52:43]
Do we need conditional use criteria
[52:48]
Or Is it just gonna be a way
[52:49]
Of i I Well the intent is that
[52:54]
the criteria is in
[53:01]
1 70, 86 0.3
[53:05]
B, the exceptions.
[53:09]
So I mean, you could even get more specific and, and
[53:12]
and reference paragraph B there for the, the
[53:17]
conditions that have to be found.
[53:19]
Okay. True for, to grant the conditional use permit. Okay.
[53:25]
That works. Mr. Moey, do you have a question?
[53:27]
Yeah, so for the rooftop thing,
[53:29]
I know it says mechanical screening, do we have
[53:30]
to be worried about any sort
[53:31]
of light fixtures at the top of there?
[53:34]
So if they had to work on any of this stuff, would we,
[53:36]
would we be any concerns
[53:38]
of any lighting things up there? Just throwing it out
[53:44]
There.
[53:45]
I don't remember seeing any plans that came to us
[53:49]
with lighting fixtures for maintenance work.
[53:53]
Okay. Just, just a thought.
[53:54]
And if there were, I mean it would only be used
[53:56]
during maintenance, so Yeah.
[53:58]
You can use God as an example.
[54:00]
I mean if you have a a, a roof deck on which you're parking,
[54:03]
you're probably gonna have lighting up there.
[54:05]
But in this case we ended up for Vidor, we ended up covering
[54:10]
that over with the solar structure.
[54:12]
Just a thought. Yeah.
[54:17]
I mean I think there's other portions of the
[54:21]
LDCR that deal with photometrics and light spell, so Okay.
[54:27]
Probably gonna be covered even if someone wants to do that.
[54:29]
That was my only thought. Anyone else?
[54:35]
Okay, so that was just a couple of minor,
[54:38]
almost editorial things.
[54:40]
Okay. And then we're done with that one. Right.
[54:44]
It feels good to be done. Nail bites. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[54:48]
And then so now we're onto board member comments.
[54:54]
Mr. Chase, Mr.
[54:56]
Vy is taking a seat on the Southern
[54:58]
New Hampshire Planning Commission as
[55:00]
A full member.
[55:01]
Oh, nice. And,
[55:05]
and congratulations are, are due to Brian Fishman
[55:10]
and his family because he has a new son.
[55:13]
Excellent. Oh, that's good.
[55:18]
Mr. Chase. If I may,
[55:21]
I was a little discouraged yesterday.
[55:24]
I I had the privilege.
[55:25]
I saw Town Council appointed me as a member
[55:28]
and then today I received my first email from the Southern
[55:30]
New Hampshire Planning Commission
[55:32]
that this next meeting was canceled. And the executive,
[55:36]
The executive Director is retiring.
[55:39]
So I'm putting on a brave face today.
[55:40]
I'm sure, I'm sure they were not
[55:41]
related. I'm putting on a brave
[55:43]
Face, but it's hard to not read between the lines.
[55:48]
Oh yeah. Yeah. Nate will do a nice job. Yeah.
[55:51]
So everyone, I we do have fun here. We do. Yeah.
[55:56]
Any other board member comments?
[55:58]
Thank you for yesterday. Very informative.
[56:01]
Class six wrote
[56:02]
and so thank you to you Elizabeth,
[56:05]
for sending me to that workshop yesterday.
[56:07]
You know what, what I loved was Caroline.
[56:10]
Caroline, thank you Caroline for sending me that
[56:11]
Workshop.
[56:12]
So the attorney was giving the class not only really
[56:15]
knew the term discontinued subject to gates and bars.
[56:18]
'cause I've gotten queer eyes from people
[56:20]
on the board when I use that term.
[56:22]
But she knew the historical agricultural origin of it
[56:25]
and I was very impressed.
[56:27]
Yes. Both attorneys. Was it Christine?
[56:29]
Both attorneys were very impressive yesterday. Yeah.
[56:32]
That was, that was a, that was a very informative workshop
[56:34]
yesterday, so thank you.
[56:36]
Good. Yeah. That's gonna be recorded, isn't it?
[56:42]
It will be good. I gotta
[56:43]
It be, I gotta watch that.
[56:44]
I wanted to watch that one, but I was unable to. Yes.
[56:46]
It's worth your time Mr. Chase. Yes. To watch that.
[56:48]
I they were, as a matter of fact, yes,
[56:50]
they were recording it.
[56:51]
'cause we took a lunch break and they turned off the
[56:53]
recordings and stuff and they did say yeah.
[56:55]
Able to go back online later. You can rewatch it again.
[56:58]
Yeah. It's, you get access to it.
[57:00]
Yeah. Good. Okay. Any other comments?
[57:04]
If not, somebody like to make a motion to adjourn.
[57:08]
So moved. Move Mr. Chair. Second.
[57:10]
Moved by second by Melanie to adjourn.
[57:13]
All those in favor say aye. Aye. Move. Stand. Adjourned.
