[14:51]
Yeah, that's true.
[14:53]
So,
[14:54]
no one's online right now.
[14:55]
Okay.
[14:56]
All right.
[14:57]
So
[15:00]
we're having our second, we're starting this evening's meeting.
[15:03]
With the second public hearing public hearing.
[15:06]
On the 27th, 23 capital improvement program.
[15:09]
C I P
[15:10]
projects as presented by the town departments.
[15:13]
Copies of the proposed documents will be available in the planning department office.
[15:17]
Prior to the meeting.
[15:20]
And we, so this is the second.
[15:23]
Hearing for the capital improvement plan.
[15:26]
We haven't read it.
[15:27]
It'll put your sleep quickly, but it's very interesting material.
[15:32]
In that it projects capital improvements over the next.
[15:35]
Five years.
[15:37]
And that happens every year.
[15:38]
So we always.
[15:40]
Move ahead.
[15:41]
To try to help balance expenditures.
[15:44]
And allow it really is the beginning of the, of the bed, meaning pro
[15:47]
making process.
[15:48]
Each year.
[15:49]
So August is that beginning month and Exeter.
[15:52]
So Dave, do you.
[15:55]
Want to
[15:57]
sure.
[15:57]
Thank you.
[15:59]
Yes.At the last meeting you had all the department heads.
[16:01]
Yes.
[16:01]
Present all their proposals and you have the draft capital improvement program.
[16:07]
Mm-hmm in front of you.
[16:09]
And you had a chance to ask questions, the department heads and so forth
[16:14]
Tonight's meeting is for an opportunity.
[16:17]
For the public to weigh in on any of that, historically you've had, you
[16:20]
know, the two meetings you have the department head meetings where they present everything
[16:24]
and then you hold the public hearing.
[16:25]
At the subsequent meeting or this meeting tonight.
[16:31]
And tonight is to hear from the public.
[16:34]
And then if you so choose, take action on.
[16:38]
The capital improvement program, because you are the board that adopts it.
[16:41]
Mm-hmm you do not fund it.
[16:43]
You, that is for others to fund.
[16:45]
Yeah, you're just saying.
[16:46]
Okay, this is what we believe the capital improvement program for the next six
[16:49]
years should, should be.
[16:52]
And you usually write a transmittal letter.
[16:54]
And that's usually the chair, but if you, I, I always recommend if you
[16:57]
have an op, if you want to highlight something in the plan, if you
[17:00]
have something specific that you, you know, if you feel.
[17:02]
Is a priority or multiple priorities.
[17:04]
This is your chance tonight.
[17:07]
To add that to the transmittal letter, because when once adopted.
[17:11]
We send it off to the budget review committee that reviews it and the
[17:13]
select board.
[17:15]
And, and then ultimately the voters and that's who decides what, you know, the
[17:19]
funding on it.
[17:20]
So.
[17:21]
If you have anything to add to the transmittal letter, if not, we just
[17:24]
do the, kind of the generic transmittal letter to say, you know, on, on
[17:27]
this meeting, we reviewed it.
[17:28]
We agree with.
[17:30]
You know, support the capital improvement plan as presented.
[17:34]
That being the case.
[17:35]
Are there any.
[17:37]
Particular items.
[17:39]
That has caught your attention,
[17:41]
Gwen, one really quick question.
[17:44]
In the minutes there was.
[17:46]
A comment about the Clemson pond.
[17:49]
Tide gates and Mr. Cronan was going.
[17:52]
To maybe update us on.
[17:54]
In the minutes.
[17:56]
I don't know.
[17:58]
You said noted, there will be an inspection tomorrow when he would have more
[18:01]
information.
[18:02]
I just wondered if there were any follow ups to that.
[18:05]
I don't know, it's not a big deal.
[18:08]
We don't have that information today.
[18:10]
That's fine.
[18:10]
So we can come back with it if needed.
[18:12]
Yeah, that's fine.
[18:13]
Okay.
[18:13]
I just was curious.
[18:21]
Anybody else?
[18:38]
Quiet crowd here, anybody from the public wish to.
[18:41]
Question.
[18:41]
If I had comments regarding this plan, sir.
[18:44]
Please introduce yourself.
[18:45]
So
[18:46]
we know who's speaking and our viewers at home.
[18:51]
Good evening,
[18:52]
mark Furlong.
[18:53]
24th street.
[18:55]
I wanted to make a couple comments about.
[18:58]
The capital improvement program.
[18:59]
First of all, it's, it's a lot of work that goes into that.
[19:02]
I appreciate the work by.
[19:04]
The department heads and town manager's office and other staff.
[19:08]
I know it's required by state statute.
[19:11]
Glad happy to see that exit.
[19:12]
It takes it seriously.
[19:14]
Not every town does that.
[19:16]
And then the second thing is I, I was one person that spoke up
[19:20]
after last election.
[19:22]
At a select board meeting about.
[19:24]
The rapid increase in property taxes.
[19:27]
Taxes.And one thing I suggested was to.
[19:30]
Pump the brakes a little bit on some items in the, in the C
[19:32]
I P and I, I think there is some evidence of that and I
[19:35]
I appreciate that.
[19:37]
I wasn't here at your last meeting, but I did watch it.
[19:39]
Mm-hmm and I did pick up a copy and I've reviewed it.
[19:43]
And I think it's a, it's a good document.
[19:46]
But the main reason I came tonight.
[19:48]
Is for an item that's not in the C I P.
[19:52]
And I didn't really expect it to be, I guess, this year.
[19:55]
Some of you may be aware.
[19:57]
That we've
[19:58]
formed a
[20:00]
community group, a neighborhood group in the.
[20:02]
Park street, Oak street, neighborhood to advocate for the park street bridge.
[20:07]
Where for the status and condition.
[20:10]
And we're happy to see the, that.
[20:13]
It is starting to get some attention.
[20:15]
We've been doing a lot of research around the bridge.
[20:18]
And one part of that research, I found that.
[20:21]
The
[20:22]
replacement of the park street bridge appeared in the.
[20:26]
2007.
[20:29]
10 year, New Hampshire, D O T.
[20:31]
T highway improvement.
[20:34]
Plan
[20:35]
and it appeared in the next four cycles.
[20:38]
Cycles and my question, and I'm not sure.
[20:41]
This probably predates just about everybody that's involved at this point,
[20:45]
but I.
[20:46]
I'm wondering,
[20:47]
it seemed like, would make sense that the bridge would've been put into the
[20:51]
C I P.
[20:52]
And once it was identified for potential funding.
[20:57]
From
[20:58]
D O T back in.
[21:00]
From between 2007 and.
[21:02]
I think it was 2015.
[21:04]
So
[21:06]
I may be incorrect, but I think the bridge belongs to the railroad.
[21:11]
As the crossings are their responsibility.
[21:13]
That that is up for debate at the moment.
[21:15]
Okay.
[21:16]
They are claiming ownership and that's being research.
[21:18]
Researched by the town.
[21:19]
Yeah.
[21:21]
But
[21:22]
there, there was an agreement for the town to take over the bridge back
[21:26]
in the early two thousands, which was apparently never.
[21:29]
Completed,
[21:30]
but somewhere along the line, somebody got the idea that the state.
[21:34]
Was gonna work with the town and replace it and put it in the
[21:37]
10 year plan.
[21:39]
Then it, and then it disappeared.
[21:41]
So,
[21:42]
I don't know if anybody has any history about that.
[21:44]
So,
[21:46]
no.
[21:47]
Okay.
[21:47]
Thank you.
[21:49]
Keep asking your questions.
[21:51]
.
[21:52]
And thank you for coming this evening.
[21:57]
Anybody else?
[22:00]
All right.
[22:00]
Well,
[22:03]
I think perhaps we're ready to.
[22:06]
Accept and forward the plan.
[22:10]
So now
[22:11]
we need a motion for that.
[22:12]
Yeah, you can move to adopt the 20, 27 to 2032 capital improvement program.
[22:19]
As presented or with the following revisions, however, you'd like, yep.
[22:27]
Well, let's see.
[22:27]
Now I got a point some alternates here.
[22:31]

[22:32]

[22:45]

[22:47]

[22:48]

[22:51]
Mr chairman, I'd like to make a motion.
[22:54]

[22:56]

[23:00]

[23:07]
Not all one second.
[23:08]

[38:00]
65 dash 1 25.
[38:02]
And is planning our favorite buying board case number 26 dash three.
[38:07]
Do you have anything to start us off, Dave?
[38:09]
Because you said you were gonna do some more.
[38:11]
Reviewing.
[38:12]
Yes, I am good that this was reviewed by the planning board
[38:17]
for a while and like, well, similar proposal.
[38:20]
Under a month, but then mixed use the state law zoning changes.
[38:23]
And now they're coming in not under a month.
[38:25]
So those provisions, most of those provisions.
[38:28]
No. Well, they, the MUN provisions do not apply. Mm-hmm
[38:31]
they are going under the zoning under a mixed use.
[38:33]
So they're back.
[38:34]
So it's this.
[38:35]
Similar proposal, they did they'll address it, but they did,
[38:39]
you know,
[38:40]
make some revisions.
[38:42]
In response to the eight, 13 planning board.
[38:46]
And I'll let them
[38:49]
describe what those changes are.
[38:51]
I did, you know, in the event the board gets there.
[38:53]
I do have suggested conditions of approval.
[38:55]
Should the board decide to take action in that way?
[38:58]
This evening?
[38:59]
Okay, thank you.
[39:00]
Okay.
[39:01]
Great good evening.
[39:05]
So we're back after a couple of months
[39:07]
to accommodate the summer schedule.
[39:10]
And the time
[39:12]
we amended our application.
[39:15]
Based on
[39:16]
feedback from the board and also from.
[39:19]
A couple of the abutters that have been.
[39:21]
Here throughout this entire process.
[39:24]
In that time, there was a.
[39:26]
Change in the state law regarding how.
[39:29]
Commercial zones interacts with residential uses.
[39:33]
Uses and I believe we've now,
[39:36]
we're now.
[39:37]
Proposing the least intrusive use possible.
[39:40]
On this property while complying with.
[39:43]
The underlying CT zone.
[39:45]
All that Christian go through.
[39:48]
The specifics
[39:48]
not much has changed on the plan set mm-hmm that you saw last
[39:52]
time.
[39:53]
We had spoken in theory about.
[39:57]
Modifying an
[39:59]
aisle in the back a mulch bed, we were calling it.
[40:02]
We had at the last hearing, talked about not doing that.
[40:05]
This plan shows that the amended plan shows that so.
[40:08]
That's the only substantive change on the exterior, really.
[40:11]
And again, electrician go through that.
[40:13]
Before I do.
[40:15]
I have a letter here from.
[40:18]
Chris Hilton at, from DTC on behalf of Ariel.
[40:23]
The margaritas lot owners.
[40:25]
It was emailed to me and also to the planning department at five 13
[40:29]
today.
[40:31]
To paraphrase and I'll, I'll read it into the record if that's okay.
[40:34]
Sure.
[40:34]
But to paraphrase
[40:35]
essentially.
[40:37]
The folks over our
[40:39]
yep.
[40:40]
The folks at R E L have withdrawn.
[40:43]
All of their objections to this application.
[40:46]
And they also now are voicing
[40:48]
support for the application.
[40:50]
So
[40:51]
I think that's good news for the applicant and the city.
[40:55]
If I could read this into the record, I think that might be the
[40:57]
quickest way to please do it, do this.
[40:58]
And again, it is in metal.
[41:00]
Save my birth in, in Dawn's email.
[41:02]
okay.
[41:03]
So dear chair plumber, as you'll recall, this office represents
[41:07]
WJP development, LLC, which serves as manager of 75 Portsmouth Ave.
[41:11]
Exter in New Hampshire on behalf of its ownership team throughout the deliberations on this
[41:15]
application and a prior similar application, this office on behalf of the owners of
[41:20]
75 Portsmouth Ave expressed certain concerns relative to the application.
[41:24]
Of course, the application has changed over time, including principally the parking demands of
[41:28]
The proposed development, my clients understand the parking will be confined to the subject
[41:32]
property under the current iteration of the application and supporting plans.
[41:36]
Plans against that backdrop.
[41:36]
My client's respectfully submit this letter to inform the board that their concerns regarding
[41:40]
the proposed development have been reasonably met by the applicant.
[41:44]
And as such their various objections are respectfully withdrawn.
[41:47]
In light of the amendments to the application and the proposed uses and configurations
[41:50]
reflected in the plan set with the latest revision date of August 8th, 2026.
[41:55]
My.
[41:55]
Client's cast their support of the relief sought in this application.
[41:59]
As always, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the foregoing, please feel
[42:02]
free to contact me at our Exeter office.
[42:06]
Very truly yours, Christopher.Hi.
[42:07]
Hilson.
[42:08]
So
[42:09]
with that.I'll let Christian
[42:10]
talk through the plan.
[42:12]
Okay.
[42:13]
Traffic good evening, Mr. Chairman members of the board
[42:16]
for the record.
[42:17]
My name is Kristen Smith engineer with Beals associates.
[42:20]
Associates representing the applicant on this project.
[42:23]
And
[42:23]
Josh is, is quite correct.
[42:25]
There was very little change to the exterior.
[42:29]
Aside from making all the plans.
[42:31]
Plans depict the correct.
[42:34]
And non disturbing.
[42:36]
Back travel ways
[42:38]
to that.
[42:39]
Landscape island,
[42:40]
which is largely.
[42:42]
On the, on the Needham bank property.
[42:46]
We have gone through this revision with the,
[42:49]
the fire inspector.
[42:51]
He is, he is very happy with it.
[42:53]
What this change in use we feel does is addresses the issues that were
[42:58]
brought up.
[42:59]
By some of the abutters
[43:01]
specific to the transient nature of hotel use.
[43:04]
The intention at this time is for these apartments to be sold.
[43:10]
And in that you will have.
[43:13]
Residents very similar to residents at the Manor.
[43:16]
The bottom floor will have two.
[43:19]
Different roughly 1200 square foot.
[43:23]
Commercial spaces.
[43:25]
We do not know who those users are gonna be.
[43:27]
Who's going to occupy those commercial spaces, but.
[43:30]
Very likely, you know, it will be office or retail or something along those
[43:34]
lines.
[43:35]
We, we did our parking calculations.
[43:38]
Based on professional office and a retail.
[43:42]
For roughly half of each
[43:44]
and.
[43:46]
We still now another point that I wanted to add.
[43:49]
Is,
[43:50]
I don't believe this the new state law requires you to have.
[43:55]
Visitor spaces, quote unquote, but we accounted for those in our parking calculations simply
[43:59]
because the exit ordinance discusses that.
[44:02]
And does require that.
[44:03]
And even with that and the commercial space.
[44:06]
We now have a surplus of three spaces, which.
[44:10]
Would not be needed to be used per se.
[44:13]
So I think we've, we've gone a step in.
[44:16]
Curing everybody's concern that this proposal would.
[44:20]
Eliminate their ability to use the cross easement that goes over all four of
[44:23]
these properties as well.
[44:26]
And just to, just to remind folks.
[44:30]
If we get that far tonight, which we're certainly hopeful, we do.
[44:34]
There is still a, a Shoreland protection conditional use permit that is required for
[44:38]
this.
[44:39]
Months ago you did receive correspondence from the conservation commission and they're in favor
[44:45]
of the project.
[44:47]
Very little else has changed with regard to the site plans.
[44:52]
We still propose the pervious walkways.
[44:54]
We still propose the per.
[44:55]
Pervious pavement in the back stalls, which we assume will be probably the lightest
[45:00]
used.
[45:02]
And everything else.
[45:04]
Pretty much remains as it was in the former proposal.
[45:08]
This amendment just changes that from a, a micro hotel.
[45:13]
To 12 residential units and two commercial spaces on the first floor.
[45:17]
With that I'll entertain any comments or questions from the board?
[45:21]
You spoke about selling those eventually we sold.
[45:24]
And does that mean you're gonna end up with a condominium?
[45:27]
Association.
[45:28]
Very likely.
[45:29]
Yes.
[45:29]
So.
[45:32]
And are they going to end up owning the whole building?
[45:34]
And being the well, if it, if it's sells out, that would be per
[45:38]
be my presumption.
[45:38]
Oh, they, or they would become members of that cor yeah, they, they would
[45:41]
all be.
[45:42]
Part of the association.
[45:43]
Yep.
[45:45]
Questions.
[45:46]
Thank you for the changes.
[45:48]
Changes looks.We finally came to an answer.
[45:49]
It took a little while to get there, but .
[45:53]
Yes.
[45:54]
Question question in your face.
[45:55]
A lot of questions, but I just
[45:57]
in the, on the back back part of the lot.
[46:01]
I can't remember.
[46:02]
Was there, was there ever any issue about.
[46:05]
Putting you've got that area designated as a snow storage.
[46:10]
Where it's not allowed on the forest pavement, but is there an issue with
[46:14]
snow being pushed beyond that?
[46:16]
Because it that's, the slope goes down well, there's, there's vegetation.
[46:20]
That's gonna, that, that is planted.
[46:22]
That can't be cut.
[46:23]
That is actually on the town.
[46:25]
Side of that
[46:25]
property line.
[46:26]
Okay.
[46:26]
Alright.
[46:27]
And so the thought process being
[46:30]
it's, it's not gonna go there and if, if, I mean, that's not.
[46:33]
Gonna hold a great deal of snow Gwen.
[46:34]
And as you know, we've spoken about this before.
[46:37]
In the event that it starts backing into the stalls.
[46:42]
Stalls they've gotta come in, scoop it and truck it up.
[46:44]
So at this point, really the only snow storage you have is right up
[46:48]
in the back of the building.
[46:49]
And up, up front, front, front by the yes, by the road.
[46:52]
Which,
[46:53]
and I, a little, yeah, because at the board's request we did remove.
[46:57]
Those notes between us and the Manor property.
[47:00]
Okay.
[47:01]
I'm a little concerned about how the plantings are gonna do.
[47:06]
On the road.
[47:08]
Snow storage side, but
[47:12]
well, our landscape architect told us that those are they're gonna be, I don't
[47:16]
know about salt tolerant, but salt resistant.
[47:18]
Okay.
[47:19]
Planting.
[47:19]
So flour resistant.
[47:20]
Well, right.
[47:21]
If they, if they shove their plow across the grass, that
[47:24]
could be a problem.
[47:26]
Okay.
[47:30]
May I just G go ahead.
[47:31]
Just remember we, we do have that condition that yeah.
[47:33]
Any dead or dying vegetation shall be.
[47:35]
Yeah.
[47:35]
Please replaced the next growing.
[47:37]
Season.
[47:37]
So yeah.
[47:38]
You know, we do have that as a backup, if it, yeah.
[47:41]
Got it.
[47:45]
So
[47:47]
all right.
[47:48]
I, I I'm a little.
[47:50]
Concerned about the traffic pattern in the parking area, in back of the building
[47:56]
So people
[47:58]
unless, unless I've on one plan, it looks like.
[48:02]
The middle section of that parking area has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
[48:06]
Spots mm-hmm but on another it looks like it only has four.
[48:09]
So do you see a circular.
[48:12]
Pat a circular driving pattern in that parking lot.
[48:15]
Are people gonna go in.
[48:18]
Back out.
[48:18]
No, I think they would go in back into the aisle, that front aisle
[48:21]
between the first set of stalls and the middle stalls.
[48:25]
Stalls is if I'm not mistaken, 35 feet.
[48:28]
So there's plenty of room for vehicles to back out.
[48:30]
Okay.
[48:30]
And turn around in that location.
[48:36]
Okay.
[48:39]
No ADA parking in the front.
[48:41]
It's all in the back.
[48:42]
Just those two currently.
[48:43]
Yes.
[48:43]
That's how currently that's closed.
[48:44]
Tell you, you have it.
[48:46]
I guess you, I guess.
[48:50]
Hmm.
[48:51]
And we went through that in one of the prior iterations.
[48:53]
It might have even been the M U N D,
[48:56]
but that existing parking lot up front is.
[48:59]
Actually too steep to propose.
[49:00]
I, I remember that spell ADA stalls.
[49:02]
It's hotel.
[49:04]
Yeah, I remember that.
[49:05]
I just.
[49:07]
Just seems if you're gonna have a.
[49:09]
Commercial, some kind of commercial enterprise office space, whatever downstairs.
[49:14]
Downstairs.
[49:16]
It just seems like the front of the building is gonna be the.
[49:20]
The most
[49:22]
used parking space, but.
[49:25]
You have ADA parking in the back.
[49:27]
So I guess that's all right.
[49:29]
Mm-hmm .
[49:33]
Where do you?
[49:34]
You've got the, the mailboxes are in the back inside, but in the back
[49:38]
down.
[49:39]
Downstairs of the door.
[49:39]
There will be a kiosk just inside that door.
[49:41]
I believe on the left.
[49:42]
When you're walking.
[49:44]
So I know previously
[49:47]
we talked about a loading spot.
[49:50]
Are you presuming that there's always gonna be a place for the male person
[49:54]
I presume they'll drive just all.
[49:55]
We have three extra stalls.
[49:57]
Stalls if based on the town's ordinances, every single space.
[50:02]
Designated for use would be in use.
[50:04]
We have three extra stalls.
[50:06]
And in addition to that,
[50:08]
hopefully this works.
[50:11]
There we go.
[50:13]
With the reorganization of this, there's a lot of.
[50:16]
Dead pavement right there.
[50:17]
Mm-hmm .
[50:18]
Definitely a male truck had come in there.
[50:21]
Parked right next to that
[50:23]
handicap space.
[50:24]
Handicapped space and get into that side of the building, do an access, the
[50:27]
kiosk.
[50:28]
Kiosk.
[50:29]
Okay.
[50:32]
Hmm.
[50:36]
And you don't
[50:37]
don't you already said you don't know.
[50:39]
Yet where,
[50:40]
what is going in the commercial spaces?
[50:43]
So correct.
[50:44]
Okay.
[50:46]
Do you have EV conduits?
[50:48]
Yes.
[50:49]
Yes.
[50:49]
EV conduits are in the back as well in the back as well.
[50:53]
And then I know Jen brought up bike storage.
[50:57]
Has that
[50:58]
have you
[51:00]
we didn't specifically.
[51:02]
Designate any, but my assumption is.
[51:05]
They would likely put
[51:08]
for the summer months, just a.
[51:10]
Movable bike rack on that grass area left of the, well, I guess it
[51:15]
would be south of the walkway into that building.
[51:20]
Mm-hmm
[51:23]
Hmm.
[51:24]
All right.
[51:24]
And then it could just be moved into storage for the winter months.
[51:32]
Shift point to work.
[51:33]
Can you point to me where that.
[51:35]
Is
[51:36]
just the location of that.
[51:37]
Yeah.
[51:37]
The bike belt.
[51:38]
Yep.
[51:39]
So here is the walkway into the building Uhhuh and this grass strip
[51:43]
right here.
[51:44]
Got it.
[51:44]
Thank you.
[51:45]
Mm-hmm .
[51:50]
Mm-hmm
[51:54]
I'm gonna stop for now.
[51:56]
Okay.
[51:57]
Someone else has questions.
[51:59]
Questions.
[51:59]
I have probably a couple questions.
[52:02]
Let's see are the, the residential units.
[52:04]
They.
[52:05]
Single bedroom, two bedroom,
[52:08]
two, two bedroom.
[52:13]
The
[52:15]
the parking up front.
[52:17]
The those spaces, Todd, to tell there, this space.
[52:20]
These end spaces here.
[52:23]
What is the distance between the setbacks so that a vehicle can back out
[52:27]
and turn and head back out in that direction.
[52:30]
How close is that space to the, to leave.
[52:32]
Those are 24 feet.
[52:33]
Marty.
[52:33]
Let me.
[52:34]
No, no, no. The, what I'm looking for is the, the distance.
[52:39]
Is your PA end of the parking space.
[52:42]
And appear is the end of the parking little offset space.
[52:45]
Yeah, it's approximately five feet.
[52:47]
Okay.
[52:50]
Is that
[52:51]
on the
[52:54]
I think this is the old.
[52:56]
Planting plan
[52:57]
cuz the circulation that that is correct.
[52:59]
We, we are still waiting for the current one, but.
[53:02]
Realistically, I believe the only thing
[53:05]
materially that's gonna change.
[53:07]
Is there was in the former iteration.
[53:10]
A little island right there, but that was where the.
[53:13]
Landscape.
[53:14]
I was being
[53:15]
effective and in talking to Lee's.
[53:18]
Lee's essentially these plantings that were going.
[53:21]
In that little island.
[53:24]
Will just be relocated to this new island, which is, which is gonna be
[53:29]
Our side of what's left of, of that landscape.
[53:33]
Okay.I, I, everything else was gonna remain the same.
[53:35]
The concern I have with the, the, the previous plan.
[53:39]
Had
[53:40]
trees out here in this area.
[53:42]
At the end of those Isles.
[53:43]
Yep.
[53:44]
And again, I'm just, you know, I'm concerned that this vehicle's in lost space
[53:48]
we'll be able to back out.
[53:51]
Back into that area without
[53:53]
hitting the tree.
[53:54]
Without hitting a snow bank, whatever's gonna be there.
[53:56]
It's it's just very tight.
[54:01]
But it is the standard,
[54:03]
the standard.
[54:05]
Aisle width.
[54:05]
So it's a.
[54:07]
But so the setbacks, at least five feet,
[54:09]
as you're saying
[54:11]
that five foot kind of over pavement from the end of the stalls.
[54:15]
Stalls.Yes.
[54:16]
Yes.
[54:16]
I, what I'm talking about is the.
[54:19]
The end of the parking space.
[54:20]
Yep.
[54:20]
When you back out, you've got at least five feet before.
[54:24]
On those parking lot end zone on those installs?
[54:25]
Correct.
[54:26]
Okay.
[54:26]
Yep.
[54:29]
And I know you said.
[54:31]
You don't know what's gonna be in the commercial space.
[54:35]
I I'll just say, you know, the issues I had before with respect to
[54:40]
traffic and pedestrian.
[54:42]
Activity in that front area.
[54:44]
Was primarily related to
[54:47]
if it was gonna be a high turnover coffee shop.
[54:51]
If you have office space or other type of retail in there, it's not
[54:54]
as a much of a concern.
[54:57]
But if it's a coffee shop, I would've the same concerns.
[55:00]
So I don't know.
[55:01]
What I can do about that.
[55:02]
If you can't tell me what it's gonna be.
[55:04]
.
[55:07]
It makes it challenging.
[55:14]
I had a question.
[55:14]
Go ahead.
[55:15]
A few questions.
[55:17]
Off of Gwen's question about the EV.
[55:23]
Ports, you said they'll be in the back, correct?
[55:26]
Does that conflict?
[55:27]
So it's on the back of the building.
[55:28]
So would that impact.
[55:30]
The placement of the ADA spaces.
[55:32]
Well that that's currently where we have it proposed.
[55:35]
I mean that, those conduits, if you guys feel they're better located somewhere else
[55:40]
Can go.
[55:40]
Absolutely.
[55:41]
Anything.Yeah.I mean, is there any issue with putting them in the front?
[55:46]
Because, especially if they, I mean, aside from, you know, you're gonna have pedestals
[55:49]
at the end of the day, which are not got attractive, but.
[55:54]
I mean, we could, we could run them out to the middle.
[55:57]
The middle of a parking.
[55:59]
But then again, that's gonna monkey with.
[56:05]
I just noticing
[56:07]
yeah.
[56:09]
With
[56:10]
two
[56:11]
accessible spots that you have.
[56:14]
There that would only
[56:16]
that would either be inaccessible or a handicap spot.
[56:19]
That's charging an EV
[56:21]
and then you have one remaining potential, like not handicapped plate.
[56:25]
It's a lot back there.
[56:29]
So,
[56:30]
I mean, if it's the board's preference that, that you guys want them.
[56:34]
Both directed to
[56:35]
non HC compliance stalls.
[56:38]
That's that's not an issue.
[56:40]
Those conduits can be run anywhere.
[56:41]
Okay.
[56:42]
That makes sense.
[56:43]
It does.
[56:43]
I think that makes sense.
[56:44]
I would worry about.
[56:46]
Occupying a car occupying an EV.
[56:49]
Site when there's a need for a handicap.
[56:51]
Yeah.
[56:53]
Yeah, parking spot.
[56:54]
I mean, can they go, can they go on the back?
[56:57]
Line in the pervious pavement.
[57:04]
Yeah, that that's a valid point.
[57:06]
Yeah.
[57:06]
What, what the client's saying, Glen.
[57:08]
Is that we would probably prefer to leave one at the ADA, just in
[57:11]
case.
[57:12]
There was an ADA car that needed to park there.
[57:15]
That is an electric vehicle.
[57:18]
And we could certainly run another one out to one of those rear stalls
[57:23]
Stalls.Yeah.
[57:23]
Yeah.
[57:24]
As long as there's a sign or something that says.
[57:27]
Only
[57:28]
handicap parking, ADA parking there.
[57:30]
So you, you wouldn't want someone taking, oh, of course.
[57:33]
A spot, of course.
[57:33]
And, and they will have.
[57:35]
Nancy, the typical signage.
[57:38]
The paint on the pavement depicting that that is a, so if, if somebody
[57:42]
without.
[57:44]
Handicapped credentials parked there.
[57:46]
The police could be called.
[57:47]
They could get ticketed, you know,
[57:50]
okay, thank you.
[57:51]
It, it, it, they will be enforceable.
[57:55]
Another question I had, and I know this is a.
[57:57]
Older planting plan,
[58:00]
but on the.
[58:02]
Plantable space, adjacent ports with Ave.
[58:04]
Are, is that still going to be Juniper brush or is, can that be
[58:10]
Trees because that part of forest would have
[58:12]
gets a lot of sun.
[58:12]
Doesn't have a lot of shade.
[58:14]
And that would be good for people parking there as well as people using
[58:16]
the sidewalk.
[58:17]
Yeah.
[58:17]
I thought she had a couple of trees proposed if trees proposed.
[58:21]
Can you put up there?
[58:22]
I dunno if you can go to the planting plant.
[58:24]
Yep.
[58:25]
Even though it's old.
[58:27]
Page eight.
[58:36]
Yeah.
[58:37]
So there's those trees.
[58:39]
Just one sec.
[58:42]
There we go.
[58:44]
Now we can see it better,
[58:45]
not as much.
[58:49]
So there's those three, which is great.
[58:51]
And then I'm thinking about.
[58:52]
The,
[58:54]
I guess it's
[58:55]
it's spot next to port Ave.
[58:59]
Is there a possibility of trees being there in here?
[59:01]
Yeah.
[59:02]
In there.
[59:03]
From both the shade of those parking.
[59:06]
And
[59:08]
adding shade to the sidewalk.
[59:13]
Yeah, the well
[59:15]
this, this area right here.
[59:19]
That, that sign we had gone through with the neighbor who has a commercial
[59:23]
unit in the Manor facility.
[59:25]
Okay.
[59:27]
And have basically that that's where the sign for this building will go as
[59:30]
well.
[59:32]
And have committed to him that it will not be taller or will actually
[59:35]
be lower.
[59:35]
I believe is what the agreement was.
[59:38]
Right to his size, his sign right up the street.
[59:40]
Mm-hmm so that wouldn't work out in that location.
[59:43]
I mean,
[59:45]
one tree could probably go in here,
[59:47]
Ryan, but.
[59:48]
I don't know that multiples would, would work well simply because in the winter
[59:52]
months they, that will.
[59:55]
You know, Therase storage area for some yeah.
[59:57]
And.
[59:58]
The visibility that's I, I could, but as she works through this for final
[1:00:02]
Which which again,
[1:00:04]
you know, the, the only real substantive change proposes in the back, relocating those
[1:00:08]
small shrubs mm-hmm but.
[1:00:10]
I could see being able to put one tree kind of in the middle
[1:00:13]
mm-hmm and then the canopy would, I would assume cover at least a
[1:00:17]
couple of the spaces.
[1:00:18]
Maybe
[1:00:19]
the one in the middle and half of each of the other one or
[1:00:22]
whatever, but yeah, it would provide some shade.
[1:00:24]
Yeah.
[1:00:24]
I think anyone that's parked in those lots knows it.
[1:00:27]
It's
[1:00:27]
oh, it gets hot.
[1:00:28]
Yes.
[1:00:29]
And then the other question I had was.
[1:00:33]
I guess you can see it here below the proposed parking.
[1:00:35]
If you want to please pointer to assist me.
[1:00:38]
Below here to the right.
[1:00:40]
Yep.
[1:00:41]
To, to the right more down.
[1:00:43]
Mower down, down on the map.
[1:00:45]
Oh, I'm sorry.
[1:00:45]
Yeah.
[1:00:45]
So that.
[1:00:47]
Has crosshatch part,
[1:00:49]
is that just.
[1:00:50]
Lines for that is painted lines.
[1:00:52]
So it's not curd.
[1:00:53]
It's just lines, correct.
[1:00:54]
Okay.
[1:00:54]
Yeah.
[1:00:56]
Alright, that answers the questions.
[1:00:58]
Questions.Oh, I guess the question is this might be up to the.
[1:01:02]
Condo association or how that's formed.
[1:01:04]
Is it assigned parking?
[1:01:07]
In the lots in the back for residence and partially in the front, or
[1:01:09]
is that just gonna be something that gets sorted out as time goes on
[1:01:12]
sorted out?
[1:01:14]
Yeah.For the, for the records sorted out as okay.
[1:01:16]
Things come together.
[1:01:17]
Yeah.
[1:01:18]
Those are my questions.
[1:01:19]
Thank you.
[1:01:20]
You're very welcome.
[1:01:22]
Should I go back to the presentation plan, Mr. Chairman.
[1:01:24]
Sure.
[1:01:25]
I will.
[1:01:25]
I think while you're on this one, I have a question.
[1:01:27]
Oh, who're on this one.
[1:01:28]
Wait a minute.
[1:01:29]
Okay.
[1:01:31]
Kristen.
[1:01:31]
Just wait a minute.
[1:01:32]
Yeah, I'm just sliding the view over so we can see the entire property
[1:01:39]
Ah, good.
[1:01:43]
The whole shot enchilada.
[1:01:44]
Very good.
[1:01:50]
Okay.
[1:01:51]
So I think at the risk of sort of repeating what other people have
[1:01:53]
said, I'm also a little.
[1:01:55]
Bit concerned about the parking circulation.
[1:01:58]
In the front
[1:01:59]
where it's.
[1:02:02]
This, this isn't the updated one, but basically those two.
[1:02:06]
Like right now, this one that we're seeing goes in hasn't changed.
[1:02:11]
This, this is different than your, some than your proposal, though.
[1:02:15]
I chose one way.
[1:02:16]
This shows one way circuit circulation with an aisle you're Absolut.
[1:02:19]
Absolutely right.
[1:02:19]
Yep.
[1:02:19]
Yeah.
[1:02:19]
Yep.
[1:02:20]
Which this,
[1:02:22]
this kind of makes sense.
[1:02:25]
To me as a driver.
[1:02:28]
Because you can
[1:02:30]
you know, if you go in and then, oh, there's no spots or whatever
[1:02:32]
you can just loop around.
[1:02:34]
And then also just anyone who's parking on those, like Northern four.
[1:02:38]
Spots.
[1:02:39]
I feel like are going to be hitting your trees.
[1:02:43]
Constantly.
[1:02:44]
If you don't like.
[1:02:45]
Put a fence there or something, then they're gonna be hitting the fence.
[1:02:49]
I don't know.
[1:02:50]
I just, I feel like it's like very tight, like backing out of one
[1:02:52]
of those spots on like the.
[1:02:55]
The four spots on the north, it just doesn't seem like there's enough room
[1:02:59]
To maneuver.
[1:03:01]
Well, I mean, we do show the, the vehicle and I think we used
[1:03:05]
a St like a.
[1:03:07]
Ford
[1:03:08]
Explorer type of a vehicle.
[1:03:09]
Did what sheet is that on?
[1:03:11]
Cause I wasn't seeing that parking plan, I believe.
[1:03:14]
The parking, which I can get.
[1:03:17]
Yeah.
[1:03:17]
If you could pull that up, that'd be great.
[1:03:18]
Cause I was not seeing that.
[1:03:22]
Shoot four.
[1:03:28]
Yeah, parking
[1:03:30]
yeah, right down there on the lower left.
[1:03:33]
There we go.
[1:03:34]
Yeah.
[1:03:35]
Oh, okay.
[1:03:35]
I didn't see that.
[1:03:36]
It's not there.
[1:03:36]
It's clear on this screen, but.
[1:03:40]
Which sheet number is that?
[1:03:45]
Four Marty, I think four.
[1:03:46]
Oh, I see it.
[1:03:46]
Yeah.
[1:03:47]
On the.
[1:03:48]
Someone with the blue arrows.
[1:03:50]
Arrows
[1:03:55]
is that gonna have a curb?
[1:03:57]
Is there a curb on that Northern edge?
[1:03:58]
On, on the Manor side?
[1:04:00]
Yes.
[1:04:00]
Yeah.
[1:04:01]
Okay.
[1:04:02]
Yeah, that'll help.
[1:04:12]
But that, that question.
[1:04:14]
Jen is precisely why
[1:04:17]
took a look at this stall, which is.
[1:04:20]
Yeah, that's this stall.
[1:04:21]
Yeah.
[1:04:21]
I appreciate seeing that.
[1:04:22]
Just to see that missed that little insert back out, make their turn and
[1:04:25]
not get off the paper.
[1:04:26]
Mm-hmm .
[1:04:28]
Yeah, crank into other vehicles.
[1:04:28]
And I think having that curb there that at least their tires would hit
[1:04:31]
the curb.
[1:04:31]
Yeah.
[1:04:32]
It, it gives you a, a six inch veal for a wheel stop.
[1:04:35]
Yep.
[1:04:55]
Hello
[1:04:56]
questions.
[1:04:56]
Thoughts.
[1:05:13]
Anybody from the
[1:05:16]
public would like to speak.
[1:05:18]
Please come up,
[1:05:20]
step up to the microphone and.
[1:05:23]
Introduce yourself, please.
[1:05:24]
A couple quick questions.
[1:05:26]
Questions.
[1:05:32]
My name is Michael Siegel.
[1:05:33]
I'm from, I.
[1:05:34]
Representative Manor.
[1:05:37]
We weren't
[1:05:38]
at the first couple of meetings and I, one thing I, I didn't see
[1:05:41]
the plans, but.
[1:05:43]
How large are the residential units?
[1:05:44]
That's.
[1:05:46]
That's
[1:05:48]
around 700 square feet, 700 square feet.
[1:05:50]
Okay.
[1:05:51]
And how many parking spaces are there?
[1:05:54]
26 26.
[1:05:55]
Okay.
[1:05:56]
That's all I wanted to know.
[1:05:57]
Thank you.
[1:05:59]
Yes, sir.
[1:06:10]
Good evening, Todd FAHE from the law firm of Upton and Hatfield representing Needham
[1:06:15]
bank, which is in a butter as.
[1:06:17]
You recall just a quick procedural question to be sure that I'm fully clear
[1:06:22]
So the there's been several matters.
[1:06:25]
Introduced they have, and the records were combined.
[1:06:28]
And this is simply an amendment.
[1:06:30]
On the combined.
[1:06:31]
Is that what the board's understanding is?
[1:06:34]
It's it, this is an amendment.
[1:06:37]
To what was a previous, the last application, which was then combined with the
[1:06:41]
prior proceeding.
[1:06:44]
Yeah.
[1:06:44]
Yep.
[1:06:45]
It wasn't.
[1:06:46]
What do you mean by the prior?
[1:06:48]
Well, there were two records.
[1:06:49]
There were two records.
[1:06:51]
And then I think there was a motion and you combine them.
[1:06:54]
The reason I'm asking is that I just.
[1:06:56]
I, I don't have to resubmit everything again, but, but if you're, if you're
[1:07:00]
to tell me that this is a new.
[1:07:02]
Matter then I would want to just redate and resubmit documents that you've seen
[1:07:07]
from me ad nauseum.
[1:07:08]
So was a as a active.
[1:07:10]
Of mercy.
[1:07:11]
I'm asking the question.
[1:07:12]
So I need to give you more documents.
[1:07:15]
Documents.I can, I can answer that.
[1:07:15]
We, we continued the meeting to give them time.
[1:07:18]
To
[1:07:21]
hopefully work out that then.
[1:07:24]
Hotel plan.
[1:07:26]
So this is
[1:07:28]
basically the same plan.
[1:07:30]
With modifications, because this is the best way they could work out the traffic
[1:07:34]
flow.
[1:07:34]
Right.
[1:07:35]
But we're still dealing with the same.
[1:07:37]
It's an, it's an amended.
[1:07:38]
Plan and the, and the certified record that we attached to this is still
[1:07:42]
attached to it.
[1:07:42]
Perfect.
[1:07:43]
You don't need to give us any more paperwork.
[1:07:45]
All right.
[1:07:45]
Exactly.
[1:07:46]
I won't.
[1:07:47]
If you'd like don't weren't needed.
[1:07:49]
Todd.
[1:07:49]
All right.
[1:07:50]
No problem.
[1:07:51]
Okay.
[1:07:52]
So not being said.
[1:07:54]
This is,
[1:07:54]
I think the.
[1:07:56]
The issue we still have because I don't, we don't really, I, I don't
[1:08:00]
have authority tonight, not understanding what the use is gonna be in the commercial
[1:08:04]
Use and what the traffic flow is, it's the same issue.
[1:08:06]
So I know there was some reference and I understand that developer wants flexibility
[1:08:12]
Appreciate the, the issue addressing the parking.
[1:08:16]
But without knowing what the use would be.
[1:08:19]
You know, we can't can't consent to this and we need to object for
[1:08:22]
the same reasons we previously have submitted to the board.
[1:08:26]
Save for the, for those that are relevant.
[1:08:27]
I mean, it's not a hotel anymore.
[1:08:29]
But the most important piece is that you still have discretion
[1:08:33]
under your site plan, review regulations to, to approve this in a way that
[1:08:38]
Makes sense under your regulations?
[1:08:39]
Yeah.
[1:08:40]
So for the reasons I previously said before,
[1:08:43]
we renew those requests.
[1:08:45]
We renew our objections.
[1:08:47]
Only insofar
[1:08:48]
as
[1:08:49]
just don't really
[1:08:50]
don't really understand how this is gonna work.
[1:08:52]
And even with the trap,
[1:08:54]
the traffic flow.
[1:08:55]
Two little points.
[1:08:56]
I appreciate the shaving off of the, the area that was affected in the
[1:09:00]
island in the back.
[1:09:01]
And, and perhaps the applicant could speak to this.
[1:09:03]
I saw it seemed to be a new.
[1:09:06]
A new sewer easement, maybe an eight inch pipe.
[1:09:09]
And I'm, I don't know if that was some wh where that came from
[1:09:12]
but I think I saw that on the utility.
[1:09:14]
Plan.
[1:09:15]
And with that, I'll just end my comments, Mr. Chairman.
[1:09:18]
Okay, thank you.
[1:09:21]
Yep.
[1:09:21]
And I can address that Mr. Chairman, that is just a replacement of the
[1:09:26]
Pipe that is currently there for the dry cleaner.
[1:09:30]
So that is the D P w just wanted that.
[1:09:33]
D P w was new pipe?
[1:09:34]
Yeah.
[1:09:35]
Okay.
[1:09:38]
Anyone else?
[1:09:43]
Don't come in, then I will close the public portion of the meeting.
[1:09:46]
Bring it back to the
[1:09:47]
board.
[1:09:48]
And now you spoke about.
[1:09:52]
And then you're gonna need your help.
[1:09:54]
Conditional.
[1:09:55]
Conditional use paramedic use permit.
[1:09:58]
Use permit.
[1:09:58]
And we do have two waivers that are still pending.
[1:10:02]
I will remind you one of those is for the.
[1:10:06]
Work within five feet of a budding property line.
[1:10:08]
Yes.
[1:10:10]
The entire building is within five feet of both property lines.
[1:10:12]
We couldn't.
[1:10:14]
Couldn't get this done without, without that.
[1:10:18]
And
[1:10:21]
then
[1:10:27]
oh, the, the.
[1:10:29]
The light trespass onto a budding.
[1:10:33]
Properties.
[1:10:33]
Yeah.
[1:10:34]
You took care of that though.
[1:10:35]
You took, yeah, we, we did.
[1:10:37]
So,
[1:10:37]
I mean, I'll, I'll let you guys
[1:10:40]
any direction.
[1:10:41]
I'll let you guys
[1:10:43]
opine.
[1:10:45]
There we are as to whether or not that is.
[1:10:48]
Still gonna be necessary.
[1:10:51]
And again, if you see a.
[1:10:53]
Couple of hundreds.
[1:10:56]
Hundreds just over the property line.
[1:10:57]
That is gonna be absolutely washed by the existing high pressure sodium.
[1:11:01]
Lights that are all around us.
[1:11:06]
But they did get the entire.
[1:11:09]
Cones of illumination
[1:11:11]
down to, I believe it is.
[1:11:14]
Half a foot candle,
[1:11:15]
maybe even a 10th of a foot candle.
[1:11:17]
All on property.
[1:11:20]
All within those property.
[1:11:22]
Okay.
[1:11:22]
Can I just ask a call a yes.
[1:11:25]
Floor.
[1:11:25]
It was taken care of and you didn't need that anymore.
[1:11:28]
So that's now you needed to.
[1:11:31]
You you need the waiver again?
[1:11:32]
No, the lights have not changed since.
[1:11:34]
Okay.
[1:11:34]
Since prior iteration.
[1:11:35]
Okay, so you don't need a wave?
[1:11:37]
Well, we, we never got there.
[1:11:39]
So you guys never said, no, you don't well, because you modified it
[1:11:43]
Yes.
[1:11:43]
And you changed it.
[1:11:44]
So it wasn't necessary.
[1:11:45]
We sent it back to our lighting consultant.
[1:11:47]
Okay.
[1:11:47]
Correct.
[1:11:48]
Okay.
[1:11:48]
And that has not changed.
[1:11:49]
Wanna make sure that wasn't another change that has not changed, changed.
[1:11:52]
Nancy's not changed.
[1:11:52]
Thank the proposed lights have not.
[1:11:54]
Okay.
[1:11:55]
Been edited.
[1:11:59]
Okay.
[1:12:00]
Yes.
[1:12:00]
And then Mr. Chairman, the final piece would be the conditional use permit.
[1:12:04]
Because a portion of this property is in.
[1:12:08]
Protected Shoreland.
[1:12:09]
Yep.
[1:12:09]
Believe it's that line.
[1:12:10]
There is the one 50 and that line, there is 300.
[1:12:16]
That was where the previous packet.
[1:12:17]
Wasn't it.
[1:12:19]
Well, let's go with a.
[1:12:22]
That permit first.
[1:12:24]
Yeah.And the disturbance doesn't change because nothing else exterior really changed.
[1:12:29]
And we, we are reducing the.
[1:12:33]
Existing impervious area.
[1:12:35]
In this proposed condition.
[1:12:37]
Or we continue to propose that.
[1:12:39]
Yes.Yeah.Yeah.
[1:12:45]
Henry conditions you need to respond?
[1:12:48]
Well, there are, there are.
[1:12:50]
Mm-hmm
[1:12:52]
eight points.
[1:12:52]
I think.
[1:12:54]
Which I can
[1:12:56]
okay.
[1:12:57]
Nope.
[1:12:57]
Five points.
[1:12:58]
Which are part of 9.3 0.4 G two.
[1:13:02]
Conditional uses.
[1:13:04]
Uses the proposed development will not detrimentally affect surface water quality.
[1:13:08]
To the waterworks pond or result in unhelpful conditions due to the proposed stormwater
[1:13:12]
management.
[1:13:14]
That meets a town of Exeter requirements that is proposed for the property.
[1:13:18]
And in addition, no
[1:13:20]
snow will be stored within the.
[1:13:23]
The Shoreland district in the.
[1:13:28]
In the, in the direction of the water.
[1:13:31]
Pond.
[1:13:32]
I, I would suppose.
[1:13:34]
The project will solely discharge domestic wastewater through the municipal sewer system.
[1:13:39]
There will be no onsite discharge or storage of.
[1:13:44]
Excuse me or disposal of hazardous or toxic wastes on the property.
[1:13:49]
Letter C the proposed development will not result in any damage to spawning grounds
[1:13:54]
or other habitat.
[1:13:56]
All storm water from the development area that is directed towards the waterworks pond
[1:13:59]
will be infiltrated into the ground.
[1:14:02]
Post-treatment and the layout has been designed to minimize.
[1:14:07]
Disturbance within the S P D and complies with the use regulations.
[1:14:12]
Identified an article 9.3 0.4, with the exception of the following, which is part
[1:14:17]
of this conditional use permit request.
[1:14:19]
Minimum lot coverage.
[1:14:20]
The maximum impervious lot coverage is limited to 10%.
[1:14:25]
Where we are requesting an impervious lot coverage of 78%.
[1:14:30]
Which as a reduction from the existing site at 79% in pervious within the
[1:14:35]
Shoreland protection district.
[1:14:37]
And finally point E article 9 30, 1 of the Exodus Shoreland protection district ordinance.
[1:14:43]
Authority and purpose the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the waterworks pond is achieved
[1:14:49]
Achieved through the drainage design proposed.
[1:14:51]
The existing site, direct stormwater.
[1:14:53]
To the water.
[1:14:55]
The current site directs water towards the waterworks pond without treatment.
[1:15:00]
The proposal provides porous pavement with a sand filter treatment that infiltrates all storm
[1:15:05]
water.
[1:15:06]
Up to and including the 50 year storm event.
[1:15:11]
Okay.
[1:15:13]
Any questions about that?
[1:15:17]
I'd like to make a motion.
[1:15:23]
That we prove the
[1:15:29]
requirement here.
[1:15:31]
The suggestive language.
[1:15:32]
It's a little tough.
[1:15:33]
Ah,
[1:15:35]
right.
[1:15:36]
So this is the shore warrant.
[1:15:37]
Shoreland.
[1:15:39]
Protection district.
[1:15:42]
I don't have
[1:15:44]
we don't have any like, suggested.
[1:15:47]
Like motion.
[1:15:53]
On the,
[1:15:54]
it's not included in the memo.
[1:15:57]
Okay.
[1:15:58]
If I can get you one oh, right here.
[1:16:01]
Oh, okay.
[1:16:01]
Yeah, I have one.
[1:16:02]
Do, do you.
[1:16:04]
I could read it to you if you could read it and then I'll
[1:16:06]
move it.
[1:16:06]
How's that?
[1:16:07]
Yeah.
[1:16:07]
And it's the Shoreland one, right?
[1:16:09]
Yes.
[1:16:10]
Yeah.Yeah.
[1:16:10]
After reviewing the criteria.
[1:16:12]
For a Shoreland conditional use permit.
[1:16:14]
I move that the request of.
[1:16:17]
Which one is this one?
[1:16:18]
Jeff Kaley.
[1:16:20]
26 dash 3 26 dash three.
[1:16:26]
For our conditional use permit, be
[1:16:28]
approved.
[1:16:29]
Approved with fallen conditions, table or denied.
[1:16:32]
I would recommend.
[1:16:33]
Two conditions that were recommended by the conservation commission.
[1:16:36]
Wasn't that one?
[1:16:37]
Yeah.
[1:16:38]
These were the ones, the conservation commission recommended that the soils located around and
[1:16:42]
under the existing building a tested for contamination after building removal and shown to
[1:16:46]
be.
[1:16:46]
In the in line with state requirements and to the monitoring.
[1:16:49]
Well, located onsite is decommissioned and.
[1:16:53]
Re removed until after cons.
[1:16:55]
Until after construction and recommissioned.
[1:17:00]
All set.
[1:17:01]
Okay.
[1:17:01]
So if you move, I'll try this one.
[1:17:03]
And Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Nancy.
[1:17:05]
I believe both of those.
[1:17:07]
Notes are on the plans.
[1:17:09]
Plans.
[1:17:09]
Okay.
[1:17:10]
My apologies.
[1:17:10]
No, no need.
[1:17:11]
And it's good to just put 'em here for, you know yeah, it does
[1:17:14]
for visibility sake.
[1:17:15]
Cutting.
[1:17:15]
Nice pressing teeth.
[1:17:16]
So.
[1:17:17]
I will move.
[1:17:21]
The conditional use permit.
[1:17:23]
As as described by our town planner.
[1:17:27]
And including the conditions stated be approved.
[1:17:32]
I kind of John the glove, but that's the best I could do.
[1:17:34]
Sorry.
[1:17:34]
I'll second.
[1:17:35]
Thank you second.
[1:17:36]
Okay.
[1:17:36]
Any
[1:17:37]
questions?
[1:17:37]
Discussion.
[1:17:40]
We can do hand votes on this captain.
[1:17:42]
So
[1:17:43]
those in favor, please raise your right hand.
[1:17:46]
Mm-hmm opposed.
[1:17:48]
Senses the eyes.
[1:17:49]
Have it.
[1:17:50]
Okay now.
[1:17:52]
Can I ask a one question?
[1:17:54]
Sure.
[1:17:54]
If that's all.
[1:17:56]
Right.
[1:17:56]
We have not talked about the architectural features of this, but I, I did
[1:18:00]
wanna ask.
[1:18:02]
On the
[1:18:05]
I guess it would be the third floor.
[1:18:06]
It almost looked well.
[1:18:08]
It would have railing if it was a balcony, but is that.
[1:18:12]
I'm looking at this picture.
[1:18:13]
Oh, let me get that up for you.
[1:18:15]
Go on.
[1:18:27]
It's yeah.
[1:18:43]
Yeah, that one, that wouldn't work.
[1:18:55]
Here we go.
[1:19:02]
Okay.
[1:19:03]
So it's probably just the pers the perspective, but almost it almost looks like
[1:19:07]
there's a.
[1:19:09]
A platform at the, at the base of the.
[1:19:13]
White area of that building.
[1:19:15]
And I'm assuming it's just.
[1:19:17]
The way
[1:19:18]
crown, because you'd have to have something around it, but yeah, you, you can
[1:19:22]
see up on the top.
[1:19:24]
I see those are balcony.
[1:19:26]
Balconies, but yes, this is,
[1:19:28]
I would suspect probably.
[1:19:30]
A foot wide at the most.
[1:19:31]
Okay.
[1:19:34]
And I guess just from a personal.
[1:19:37]
I just, I will say this.
[1:19:38]
It.
[1:19:39]
No bearing really on the approval of it, but I I'm just really disappointed
[1:19:43]
that this doesn't sort of give a nod to the historical features.
[1:19:48]
Features of the rest of our community.
[1:19:49]
It just feels.
[1:19:50]
Very modern and, and I'm not opposed to modern, but I, it, it just
[1:19:56]
is.
[1:19:58]
It's very boxy and
[1:20:01]
it just doesn't have
[1:20:04]
Well, we have my opinion.
[1:20:04]
It doesn't fight not, we, it doesn't, the architect had a foot, had a
[1:20:08]
footprint to work with and I realize that I think it's gonna be a
[1:20:11]
very at.
[1:20:12]
Attractive building at the end of the day.
[1:20:13]
What do.
[1:20:14]
Well, here's my comment.
[1:20:16]
How do you think blue ribbon cleaners look when it was built?
[1:20:19]
Well, it's smaller for one thing,
[1:20:21]
but it's fifties.
[1:20:22]
It's shorter.
[1:20:23]
Now, but it's, so this is the two thousands.
[1:20:24]
Okay.
[1:20:25]
I mean, that's what I agree.
[1:20:26]
Well, as, as I said, it's the first don't agree opinion.
[1:20:28]
It's not, it's just my thought on the building.
[1:20:31]
And no, I know I'm just
[1:20:33]
for what it's worth.
[1:20:34]
And I.
[1:20:35]
And I think the other thing that bothers me and.
[1:20:39]
Is that there really isn't anything.
[1:20:41]
Around it.
[1:20:42]
That's that's.
[1:20:45]
And I hate to compare it to another building that's in this general vicinity
[1:20:49]
but it's a fairly, there's another building.
[1:20:52]
In a neighboring lot that doesn't have.
[1:20:55]
It's the road and the side of the building.
[1:20:57]
It's, it's very abrupt.
[1:21:00]
And it doesn't have any, doesn't have flower pots.
[1:21:03]
It doesn't have any green of any kind.
[1:21:06]
And it just it's unappealing.
[1:21:07]
And I just feel like this is.
[1:21:10]
Kind of does the same thing.
[1:21:11]
It just, yeah, it's fine.
[1:21:16]
It's the side of the building and right down to the pavement, there aren'tany.
[1:21:17]
There aren't any
[1:21:19]
flower boxes.
[1:21:20]
There's nothing to.
[1:21:22]
Kind of make it look more inviting and I, I don't know if that's
[1:21:25]
something that can be done.
[1:21:28]
At some point, even after this gets approved.
[1:21:31]
Oh, they, they may choose to put some
[1:21:33]
like planting barrels down there, which would have to come.
[1:21:36]
Inside during winter months, if they're using.
[1:21:38]
It looks like you have one on the side.
[1:21:41]
Of where the door goes.
[1:21:42]
Yeah.
[1:21:42]
And then obviously one in the front against.
[1:21:46]
Portsmouth avenue,
[1:21:47]
which is, which is a wider green space with the plantings.
[1:21:50]
Yeah.
[1:21:50]
Oh, that's right up next to the road, but not the next building.
[1:21:53]
Yeah, no, not next to the.
[1:21:54]
Building Gwen, because that's what I know it is where we use the pervious
[1:21:57]
papers, right.
[1:21:58]
To collect the stormwater.
[1:21:59]
Right, right.
[1:21:59]
And provide stormwater treatment for the property.
[1:22:01]
It's just, again,
[1:22:02]
it's just a comment
[1:22:04]
and being.
[1:22:06]
Just felt a need to.
[1:22:09]
And I've heard other people express concerns about it, not on the board, but
[1:22:09]
Explain.
[1:22:13]
other people who have seen the plan, but.
[1:22:16]
Yeah, that's it.
[1:22:20]
I think we should look at the.
[1:22:23]
Waiver request.
[1:22:25]
Is this set back.
[1:22:27]
Yep.
[1:22:27]
Thank you, Mr. Chairman,
[1:22:28]
we respectfully.
[1:22:30]
Request a waiver to the town site plan, review and subdivision regulations.
[1:22:34]
Section 9.3 0.6 0.4, which restricts grading within five feet of any exterior property
[1:22:40]
line.
[1:22:41]
We feel the waiver is justified.
[1:22:44]
As the proposed design provides adequate space to work between the proposed disturbance and
[1:22:49]
the property line.
[1:22:50]
Therefore granting of the waiver will not, detriment will not be detrimental.
[1:22:55]
To public safety, health, or welfare.
[1:22:57]
Nor could it be deemed injurious to other property?
[1:23:01]
The conditions upon which this request is made.
[1:23:04]
Are expressly due to the fact that the proposed building being proposed.
[1:23:09]
In the same location as the existing.
[1:23:11]
Which is closer than five feet to the, to the property line.
[1:23:15]
The existing building driveway.
[1:23:17]
Et cetera are all within five feet of existing parcel boundaries.
[1:23:21]
And this is unique to the parcel.
[1:23:24]
And the proposal does not generally, which is not generally applicable to other properties
[1:23:30]
Due to the location of the existing features as referenced above, it would be
[1:23:34]
impossible to improve this site without such encroachment.
[1:23:38]
This would result in the hardship.
[1:23:40]
If the strict letter of the regulations is carried out, as it would be
[1:23:43]
illogical to implement this rule on the current layout.
[1:23:47]
Of this parcel,
[1:23:48]
given the current layout of this parcel, excuse me, care will be taken to
[1:23:51]
ensure no disturbance.
[1:23:53]
On the abutting pars parcels, unless.
[1:23:56]
Authorized by the abutting parcel owners.
[1:23:58]
The waiver would not be contrary to spirit and 10 of the regulations.
[1:24:02]
As the proposed development will result in adequate width for construction to take place
[1:24:07]
Without causing harm to a buddy property.
[1:24:10]
And finally the proposed waiver
[1:24:12]
does not propose to vary the provisions of the zoning ordinance or master plan
[1:24:17]
This is demo.
[1:24:18]
Demonstrated by the facts cited above as well as the fact that no structures
[1:24:22]
are to be located within five feet of the property line.
[1:24:25]
No news structures.
[1:24:26]
Excuse me.
[1:24:30]
Okay.
[1:24:37]
Mr Sharples.
[1:24:37]
Do you have any like suggested conditions?
[1:24:40]
We're good right on the waivers?
[1:24:41]
No. Yep. Just wanted to make sure, cuz we don't have that here.
[1:24:44]
Either.
[1:24:45]
I'm going to try to make a question.
[1:24:46]
Oh, okay.
[1:24:47]
Now the waiver motions either.
[1:24:49]
No.
[1:24:52]
Yeah, that I did get that.
[1:24:54]
Okay.
[1:24:54]
So I moved.
[1:24:56]
Moved
[1:24:57]
to waive.
[1:24:58]
The setback per
[1:25:00]
9.3 0.6 0.4.
[1:25:04]
For planning board case number 26 dash three.
[1:25:07]
Be approved.
[1:25:09]
I'll second.
[1:25:11]
Moved and seconded.
[1:25:13]
So we'll do a hand vote again.
[1:25:16]
Those in favor, please indicate by raising your right hand.
[1:25:19]
Those opposed.
[1:25:21]
Pensions the aye.
[1:25:22]
Have it.
[1:25:23]
That's all set.
[1:25:28]
Now
[1:25:29]
was another
[1:25:34]
was another waiver that request you had?
[1:25:36]
I don't think so.
[1:25:38]
No. We've we've.
[1:25:39]
Come to the determination that after our lighting crew went through, or our lighting
[1:25:42]
engineers went through and corrected that it is no longer required.
[1:25:46]
Required.Alright.
[1:25:46]
And we didn't need one for.
[1:25:49]
Loading zone.
[1:25:51]
That's what we did talk about that at the last meeting, but
[1:25:56]
I don't know, was it the hotel?
[1:25:58]
Yeah.
[1:25:59]
Yes, it was.
[1:26:00]
Okay.
[1:26:00]
Thank you for changing this.
[1:26:01]
Yeah, that was the hotel.
[1:26:02]
Yeah.
[1:26:02]
Yeah.
[1:26:02]
Just making sure.
[1:26:10]
So Dave, have you got your.
[1:26:12]
Conditions.
[1:26:13]
You're usually
[1:26:15]
yeah, you ready?
[1:26:17]
Can we have, I have like a couple, we got a couple other questions
[1:26:20]
discussion items.
[1:26:21]
Go ahead.
[1:26:21]
I can bring it back to the board.
[1:26:22]
Just potential conditions.
[1:26:24]
So actually,
[1:26:25]
one is just more of a question for Mr. Sharples.
[1:26:27]
If I can ask that.
[1:26:28]
So.
[1:26:29]
The, the commercial is being listed as professional and.
[1:26:34]
Retail.
[1:26:35]
So does that mean, like, it can't be a restaurant.
[1:26:41]
Or
[1:26:42]
coffee shop.
[1:26:43]
Yeah, I'll, I'll defer the Alan, but you know, if you put a restaurant
[1:26:47]
in there, you know, you're probably gonna bump up against the part.
[1:26:50]
Part you're not gonna have enough parking, right?
[1:26:51]
So this is this approval.
[1:26:53]
Like with this amount of parking is only the amount of parking for.
[1:26:57]
Whatever is allowed under the zoning that doesn't trigger additional.
[1:27:00]
Per, you know, like anything that's I would say anything's allowed under the zoning
[1:27:03]
ordinance.
[1:27:04]
Yeah.
[1:27:05]
That they don't exceed anything.
[1:27:06]
Would.
[1:27:08]
Would go, could go in there.
[1:27:09]
Yeah.
[1:27:09]
But if so, so could I just follow up on your question if.
[1:27:13]
If we determined that the.
[1:27:16]
Pedestrian and traffic.
[1:27:18]
Interaction was a problematic in that front lot.
[1:27:21]
If
[1:27:22]
a high turnover
[1:27:24]
coffee shop goes in there.
[1:27:25]
Mm-hmm .
[1:27:27]
Can we
[1:27:28]
set as a condition that a high turnover coffee shop cannot go in.
[1:27:33]
Well, I
[1:27:35]
I wouldn't really suggest that if you were saying something like that, I would
[1:27:38]
suggest, you know,
[1:27:39]
you know, something you return to the board for, you know, like, I don't
[1:27:42]
know, but like what, what, gimme a scenario.
[1:27:45]
Work that out though.
[1:27:45]
I'd like a little more discussion on that because like, what is unsafe about
[1:27:49]
the parking lot?
[1:27:50]
Because, okay.
[1:27:51]
Say you, you know, a car comes in and.
[1:27:54]
You know, every 15 minutes or a car comes in every hour.
[1:27:57]
What's the difference?
[1:27:58]
What is the concern here?
[1:28:00]
You know, what are the specifics?
[1:28:01]
I I'd want the, if you want, I could go through it.
[1:28:03]
I mean, I, no, no. I think that's what you would.
[1:28:05]
Want to, you would want to justify that in a conversation before you made
[1:28:09]
a condition of approval with that, like outline your concern.
[1:28:12]
That's what I would suggest.
[1:28:13]
Okay.
[1:28:14]
And see if the applicant can, maybe the applicant could do something on a
[1:28:17]
remedy.
[1:28:18]
It, so.
[1:28:19]
Okay.
[1:28:19]
I mean, I think whether I know this is a, a change use, but
[1:28:22]
we had this discussion.
[1:28:24]
At one of the prior meetings.
[1:28:25]
So
[1:28:26]
I can, I could go through it again if you want.
[1:28:28]
Yeah.
[1:28:28]
I, I wasn't here during those.
[1:28:29]
Yeah.
[1:28:30]
So, so, but, but also, you know, you asked me.
[1:28:33]
A question and maybe, and I know you closed the public hearing.
[1:28:36]
You might want to reopen it so the applicant could speak or anyone could
[1:28:40]
speak on those limited issues that we're discussing.
[1:28:42]
Yep.
[1:28:43]
So, I guess before we do that though, like, so.
[1:28:46]
Just cause I don't have like the zoning.
[1:28:48]
Chart in front of me.
[1:28:49]
So.
[1:28:50]
Parking requirements for
[1:28:53]
retail versus isn't there like a specific parking requirement for like,
[1:28:58]
a a food establishment, like it's by seats.
[1:29:01]
Yeah.
[1:29:01]
Versus
[1:29:02]
by square footage.
[1:29:03]
Yeah.
[1:29:04]
Retail's like one space for every 300.
[1:29:06]
So if it became.
[1:29:07]
Like a coffee shop.
[1:29:07]
We'd have to go buy like number of seats, correct.
[1:29:10]
Okay.
[1:29:10]
Yeah.
[1:29:11]
You'd have to go buy the parking and then if it exceeds, exceeds the
[1:29:13]
24, if the.
[1:29:15]
Use goes in there, you limit the use by limiting the parking.
[1:29:18]
So yeah.
[1:29:19]
You know, if, if I guess that was my question, that was kind of
[1:29:21]
the answer to my question.
[1:29:22]
At least if you wanna.
[1:29:23]
Open up them, but, but, but the problem, well, the problem, the issue here
[1:29:27]
is they have parking.
[1:29:29]
They have an easement, they can pocket it park next door.
[1:29:31]
They can.
[1:29:32]
Park at the bank.
[1:29:32]
So the parking.
[1:29:34]
It's the we'll work itself out
[1:29:35]
that won't stop the zoning they have, they can, they can park at banks
[1:29:39]
parking lot.
[1:29:40]
That's the issue.
[1:29:40]
Could I address that?
[1:29:41]
Mr. Chair?
[1:29:42]
Yes.
[1:29:42]
Just quickly.
[1:29:42]
Yes.
[1:29:43]
Hold on.
[1:29:43]
I'd suggest you reopen, you're reopen that for your comments specifically to the stop
[1:29:48]
I guess.
[1:29:48]
Thank you.
[1:29:49]
And, and just so I'd reopen.
[1:29:50]
It to anybody who wants to speak on those issues.
[1:29:52]
Sure.
[1:29:53]
Great.
[1:29:53]
Thank you to address it.
[1:29:55]
So.
[1:29:56]
The parking is limited.
[1:29:58]
In the ordinance already.
[1:30:01]
By each use, right?
[1:30:02]
So we're suggesting a commercial use.
[1:30:05]
On the ground floor
[1:30:06]
who don't know what tenant.
[1:30:09]
May or may not be interested in that space right now.
[1:30:12]
If it were to switch to a restaurant.
[1:30:14]
I think it's
[1:30:16]
not, it's a misnomer, the parking for the lot.
[1:30:20]
Has to be calculated on the lot.
[1:30:22]
It's not being calculated offsite.
[1:30:25]
We've established that.
[1:30:26]
So
[1:30:28]
if there was a change in use.
[1:30:30]
The applicant and there was a parking implication to that.
[1:30:32]
Your ordinance already.
[1:30:34]
Provides the rubric that we would need to work under.
[1:30:38]
So,
[1:30:39]
and there's, we don't have a definition of a high.
[1:30:42]
Intensity
[1:30:43]
use coffee shop.
[1:30:44]
So.
[1:30:45]
There is restaurant,
[1:30:46]
right?
[1:30:47]
And there's a parking calculation provided for that.
[1:30:51]
So
[1:30:52]
we're calculating the parking.
[1:30:54]
With under the zoning ordinance.
[1:30:56]
If there's a chance of use the applicant or an owner would be compelled
[1:30:59]
to come back here.
[1:31:00]
To try to address that use.
[1:31:02]
And in this scenario, unless something drastically changes in the zoning ordinance.
[1:31:08]
There's they're simply not going to be able to permit.
[1:31:11]
That use
[1:31:12]
right.
[1:31:14]
We, we went through that kind of rigmarole before here.
[1:31:18]
So we're just asking that we permit.
[1:31:21]
The commercial, we have commercial space on the first floor
[1:31:23]
we're complying with.
[1:31:25]
The parking as defined by the ordinance and the state RSA.
[1:31:29]
So if there's a change, the applicant has to come.
[1:31:32]
I always laugh when there's that condition of, well, you must comply with, with
[1:31:34]
the Ben zoning ordinance, because that is a given.
[1:31:37]
The applicant would've to come back.
[1:31:40]
So
[1:31:41]
it's well defined in this ordinance.
[1:31:42]
I, I don't think it's necessary in any way to further define it.
[1:31:47]
Given what the ordinance provides and that's the, that would be the normative way
[1:31:51]
to address.
[1:31:53]
This exact issue, the ordinance provides that there's no need to have a further
[1:31:57]
condition.
[1:31:58]
That would be.
[1:31:59]
Pretty arduous
[1:32:00]
and somewhat inequitable.
[1:32:03]
In a situation like this, the ordinances, the definition.
[1:32:06]
And here
[1:32:07]
it would be highly.
[1:32:09]
Unlikely based on those calculations.
[1:32:11]
That that the particular use in question would be.
[1:32:15]
Permanent here.
[1:32:17]
So the, the op an applicant would've to come back for that.
[1:32:21]
And it's unlikely that that would actually work here given the size and spacing
[1:32:25]
on the slot.
[1:32:28]
And to give you an example, it would be a 12 seat restaurant.
[1:32:31]
yeah, that that's all that would be allowed.
[1:32:34]
So.
[1:32:35]
In in the entire bottom floor, the, the, restaurant's not my concern.
[1:32:39]
It's a, it's a high turn of a coffee shop.
[1:32:42]
Come in,
[1:32:43]
grab your coffee.
[1:32:44]
And, you know, a bagel and head out that's how you can traffic.
[1:32:49]
That's that it's a completely different, let's see situation than any other.
[1:32:52]
Type of use that would go in there, but it's not defined within the
[1:32:55]
ordinance.
[1:32:56]
So we'd be making up a use and then making up a definition.
[1:33:00]
Absent, either a warrant article, or an amendment to the ordinance by this board
[1:33:06]
Which is illegal.
[1:33:10]
I, I hate to be that guy, but I am the lawyer sitting in
[1:33:12]
the room.
[1:33:12]
Right.
[1:33:12]
So Todd's here and he can fight with me about this.
[1:33:15]
I know it's an unsatisfactory.
[1:33:16]
Unsatisfactory answer, but there is a rote process.
[1:33:20]
For that kind of change, especially to a definition.
[1:33:23]
And or a calculation or some formula that's in the ordinance.
[1:33:27]
We can't just ad hoc.
[1:33:29]
Hoc make them up.
[1:33:31]
Even though you are an expert in this field.
[1:33:33]
You're not sitting here as an expert tonight.
[1:33:35]
So we can't just make that up and then ratify it somehow tonight with
[1:33:38]
a condition.
[1:33:40]
It's not how it works.
[1:33:42]
Respectfully
[1:33:47]
Todd Fay again, Needham bank.
[1:33:50]
I think the sport has every right to have sufficient.
[1:33:53]
Information to understand what's gonna happen on this site to apply your subdivision.
[1:33:59]
Your site plan approvals.
[1:34:01]
Approvals to what happens here.
[1:34:02]
And so the, the, the challenge I'm having is.
[1:34:07]
You don't want to be in a situation of approving something that unwittingly will
[1:34:11]
be contrary if implemented to your, to.
[1:34:14]
Your to your own.
[1:34:16]
Regulatory scheme.
[1:34:17]
Right.
[1:34:18]
It's really important.
[1:34:19]
And you've worked really hard.
[1:34:20]
We spent a lot of hours on this.
[1:34:22]
So respectfully to my colleague.
[1:34:26]
You do have a right to understand what's gonna happen.
[1:34:29]
So.
[1:34:30]
This can't just be an open-ended situation.
[1:34:32]
And then we don't really know what's gonna happen.
[1:34:35]
And
[1:34:36]
I, I just think.
[1:34:37]
There needs to be a little bit of clarity.
[1:34:39]
And if there were a little more clarity, I think maybe we could all
[1:34:42]
be in a different spot here, but there's not.
[1:34:44]
And, and respectfully, I.
[1:34:45]
Know, these folks have worked hard to get this project permitted.
[1:34:50]
I still think they're trying to do a lot on a small lot,
[1:34:53]
obviously.
[1:34:54]
But, you know, the it's gone through a lot of iterations.
[1:34:58]
But I do think we need to those issues of traffic flow and pedestrian
[1:35:02]
safety.
[1:35:03]
Are are just, are writ large in your ordinance and nothing.
[1:35:07]
Deprives you
[1:35:08]
or prevents you.
[1:35:09]
From from issuing an approval.
[1:35:11]
If that'd be your per your decision tonight.
[1:35:14]
To to ensure that those, that there's gonna be some fidelity to those provisions
[1:35:17]
right.
[1:35:18]
That's what this town needs and wants.
[1:35:20]
And that's your obligation.
[1:35:21]
That's.
[1:35:22]
That's my comment.
[1:35:22]
Thank you.
[1:35:23]
Thank you.
[1:35:25]
Can I rebut that as the applicant?
[1:35:26]
Mm-hmm please.
[1:35:29]
So I'm looking at section 5.6 0.6.
[1:35:33]
In the zoning ordinance.
[1:35:35]
Restaurants bars nightclubs.
[1:35:38]
Nightclubs of Wich golf shop would fall into.
[1:35:40]
And it's one for each three seats, and then there's an employee component to
[1:35:44]
that.
[1:35:45]
So I, I agree with Todd, we have every right to have as much
[1:35:48]
info.
[1:35:48]
We we're providing all of the information that we're compelled to you.
[1:35:51]
Plus more, we are trying to comply.
[1:35:54]
And we have been trying to comply with the parking ordinance.
[1:35:56]
It would be highly unlikely.
[1:35:59]
That a 12 seat coffee shop would go into the entire first floor of
[1:36:02]
that building.
[1:36:04]
And if it did, it would need to comply with the parameters in the
[1:36:08]
ordinance.
[1:36:08]
So I, I'm not arguing about.
[1:36:11]
Trying to provide as much information or that you have the right to ask
[1:36:13]
us any question that you want really.
[1:36:16]
And we're happy to answer.
[1:36:18]
'em.
[1:36:20]
For what I'm arguing against is creating an ad hoc regulation with a condition
[1:36:24]
that is irrelevant.
[1:36:26]
Irrelevant because a change of use.
[1:36:28]
Would require an applicant to come back before this board.
[1:36:32]
And to comply with the ordinance.
[1:36:34]
In that moment as it's drafted.
[1:36:37]
And I think that that's,
[1:36:38]
again, the rote way that this should operate.
[1:36:42]
Or does operate in my experience in the state.
[1:36:44]
So
[1:36:46]
we're proposing or we did the parking calculations.
[1:36:49]
Using professional office and retail.
[1:36:51]
Those are the most likely uses here
[1:36:53]
for changes.
[1:36:55]
Changes
[1:36:55]
Mr. Kelly or another owner would have to come back before this board.
[1:37:00]
And comply with the calculation, but writing a new calculation for a use.
[1:37:03]
That's not in the ordinance.
[1:37:05]
Is not something that I think would be a great idea in this moment
[1:37:10]
So that's all I have.
[1:37:13]
Can I ask?
[1:37:14]
Oh,
[1:37:15]
can I add just, just on the follow-up that like is, you know,
[1:37:18]
I don't disagree with anyone in theory what people say, but if, if you're
[1:37:21]
saying like, I need to know.
[1:37:23]
What's going in there.
[1:37:24]
Mm-hmm then you've never done that as a board, since I've been here
[1:37:28]
you've approved.
[1:37:29]
Multiple commercial spaces.
[1:37:32]
That you did not know the use and the guardrails, if you will, are
[1:37:35]
the zoning ordinance.
[1:37:37]
So, I mean, there's numerous ones.
[1:37:39]
I mean the, the, the one in front of gateway, the one in front
[1:37:42]
of McKay, I mean, list goes odd.
[1:37:44]
There's there's numerous ones.
[1:37:45]
Ones on Portsmouth Ave and
[1:37:47]
the one you just did next to thirsty moose had commercial space, but the
[1:37:51]
uses in identified.
[1:37:52]
But the use uses are identified in the zoning that's that's, what's allowed.
[1:37:58]
So that would be, if you start going down that road, it's something that
[1:38:01]
you, you know, I, I, I have not seen you.
[1:38:04]
Mm-hmm sorry, you know, requiring what what's going in there.
[1:38:07]
You've never done that before.
[1:38:08]
No.
[1:38:12]
Okay, let me next thing that what makes.
[1:38:15]
Let me bring it back to the board again.
[1:38:16]
I'm sorry.
[1:38:17]
I'm sorry.
[1:38:17]
Oh, go ahead, Jack.
[1:38:18]
Go ahead.
[1:38:19]
Chris,
[1:38:22]
and I shouldn't put words into your mouth, but I'm thinking what makes you
[1:38:26]
nervous?
[1:38:26]
What makes me nervous?
[1:38:28]
Is just the, whether
[1:38:30]
a person is walking from.
[1:38:32]
The new eye eyesight place through.
[1:38:36]
The Plaza to this building or.
[1:38:39]
Whether they're driving and parking and it's the pedestrian, it's the pedestrian crossings of
[1:38:45]
these roads that makes.
[1:38:47]
Me nervous and that will happen.
[1:38:50]
Potentially with whatever goes in and there's nothing we can when we can't regulate
[1:38:56]
The number of people going in and out of that building, that's not.
[1:39:00]
Something we can do.
[1:39:00]
It's not something, you know, in advance, but I think the pedestrian safety.
[1:39:06]
Continues to be
[1:39:07]
a big concern.
[1:39:09]
For me and I don't.
[1:39:11]
Don't, I don't know how to address that.
[1:39:14]
I mean, just in, but I may be, I may be misinterpreting partly what
[1:39:18]
you're saying in my.
[1:39:20]
Mind
[1:39:20]
the, the
[1:39:22]
problem is how tight that.
[1:39:25]
That those parking spaces are in front.
[1:39:27]
And a high turnover.
[1:39:29]
Coffee shop
[1:39:30]
the volume of traffic that'll be generated.
[1:39:33]
Will will will mean you have cars coming in, pulling in.
[1:39:37]
Pulling out every few minutes.
[1:39:40]
And you're gonna have parking.
[1:39:42]
That's gonna be happening at the bank.
[1:39:44]
And I,
[1:39:46]
I'm not concerned about the parking.
[1:39:47]
There's plenty of parking spaces out there.
[1:39:48]
Mm-hmm the fact is though, because they're gonna be parking over there.
[1:39:52]
Pedestrians are gonna be walking.
[1:39:54]
Across.
[1:39:55]
And when in that tight parking area where people will be pulling out and
[1:39:58]
backing out
[1:39:59]
that's the issue and any other type of retail.
[1:40:03]
Use out there.
[1:40:05]
It wouldn't have it to that extreme.
[1:40:06]
It's not perfect, but it would be fine.
[1:40:08]
Mm-hmm but the, in my mind,
[1:40:11]
the one use that will cause that problem.
[1:40:14]
Will be
[1:40:15]
a, a high turnover coffee shop.
[1:40:18]
And if they could tell us, they're not gonna put that in.
[1:40:20]
I I'd be fine.
[1:40:22]
But if, if they can't tell us that.
[1:40:25]
I still have that concern.
[1:40:27]
I mean, I think what I was hearing is that.
[1:40:29]
They, they can't put that in without.
[1:40:31]
Going back to zoning.
[1:40:33]
I'd like some confirmation on that.
[1:40:36]
Is that true?
[1:40:37]
Well, it's a restaurant, so it is allowed in the zone
[1:40:40]
so that they can put, but it a restaurant.
[1:40:43]
So you take.
[1:40:44]
24 spots you got right.
[1:40:46]
26 0 26.
[1:40:48]
I'm sorry.
[1:40:49]
So, so you have, so you have
[1:40:51]
12 for the units cuz the state law, the new state law says you
[1:40:54]
need.
[1:40:54]
One spot for every residential unit mm-hmm .
[1:40:56]
So that leaves 14.
[1:40:58]
You need one, you need one parking spot for every three seats.
[1:41:02]
Seats.
[1:41:02]
So you'd need, you could get four.
[1:41:06]
You get four, three seats.
[1:41:07]
So 12 seat restaurant.
[1:41:10]
But then that's it.
[1:41:10]
You couldn't use any of the rest of the space down there, so you
[1:41:13]
would, I, I, I don't know how it would happen.
[1:41:16]
My, my concern is not the parking.
[1:41:18]
Demand based on seats, a high turnover coffee shop.
[1:41:22]
That was in there could have.
[1:41:24]
Five seats and it will still generate a lot of traffic because people were
[1:41:27]
going up to the counter.
[1:41:29]
Grabbing their bagel, grabbing their coffee and running out.
[1:41:32]
That's what generates the traffic.
[1:41:33]
It's not the seats.
[1:41:35]
Seats.
[1:41:35]
I understand that, but that's what our zoning says.
[1:41:37]
We have to go by our zoning.
[1:41:38]
Okay.
[1:41:38]
I, I, I mean, I do you like, I, I don't really know what
[1:41:42]
you're saying here.
[1:41:43]
Do you.
[1:41:44]
I guess then
[1:41:46]
if the con, so Marty, if, if I'm hearing you right, the concern, your
[1:41:49]
concern is.
[1:41:51]
Independent of parking.
[1:41:52]
It's just
[1:41:54]
turnover of that location.
[1:41:56]
Is that what I'm hearing?
[1:41:56]
It's the interaction between traffic.
[1:41:58]
Coming in coming out quick turnaround and pedestrians walking across the parking water, that
[1:42:03]
activity on this space on this lot.
[1:42:06]
Is there some.
[1:42:07]
Traffic engineering solutions that could be used.
[1:42:10]
To mitigate that concern or possibly to mitigate that.
[1:42:13]
Impact or interaction.
[1:42:16]
I know it's a narrow lot and it's.
[1:42:19]
It's scope really just to the parking.
[1:42:21]
In front of it, we don't have any.
[1:42:23]
Say over the existing.
[1:42:25]
Private roadways in there, but.
[1:42:28]
A speed tables.
[1:42:30]
Tables adjustments to turning the painted islands into curb.
[1:42:32]
So that there's a.
[1:42:34]
More
[1:42:36]
or
[1:42:38]
friction to the driver going through that area.
[1:42:41]
When there's potential.
[1:42:43]
Pedestrian
[1:42:44]
volume.
[1:42:47]
So I think that might be, we have lots of high turnover.
[1:42:52]
Places in town.
[1:42:56]
And, you know, there's always PO possibly issues, but these problems can be solved
[1:43:00]
in an engineering way.
[1:43:02]
Possibly, I don't know how to solve that.
[1:43:04]
Of course.
[1:43:04]
But.
[1:43:06]
It seems like something that could be.
[1:43:09]
Considered
[1:43:11]
in lieu of saying in lieu of creating a.
[1:43:14]
Condition that may not be enforceable in any way.
[1:43:20]
Problem is that a lot of the mitigation would occur on.
[1:43:24]
Someone else, someone else's property.
[1:43:25]
Yeah.
[1:43:26]
I mean, looking at this, the spot I see is the painted islands turning
[1:43:29]
into.
[1:43:32]
Curbed, but I don't know if from a traffic engineering standpoint, if that's enough
[1:43:35]
to be impactful.
[1:43:37]
And
[1:43:38]
resolve any potential issues.
[1:43:40]
Yeah.
[1:43:40]
I mean, that is the challenge that this is crossing.
[1:43:44]
A space that is owned by many people.
[1:43:47]
And
[1:43:48]
not in scope for this discussion.
[1:43:50]
Yeah.
[1:43:50]
Well, at the same token,
[1:43:52]
anybody right in the right mind, wants to have a coffee shop to do
[1:43:56]
that kind of traffic.
[1:43:57]
And they look at the situation.
[1:43:59]
That's not gonna work.
[1:44:00]
They're not gonna have the customers.
[1:44:01]
They need to pay for the coffee to pay for the rent.
[1:44:04]
I just, we're trying to rub a crystal ball here and we don't know
[1:44:07]
what's gonna happen down there.
[1:44:08]
Maybe they're gonna have.
[1:44:10]
Hot coffee, right in a hose.
[1:44:11]
And you drive down and stop and fill your cup and drive on.
[1:44:14]
Who knows?
[1:44:14]
I would go there.
[1:44:16]
Just, I would think we're trying to predict the.
[1:44:18]
Future here and we're spending too much time on it.
[1:44:21]
Yeah, really do I think.
[1:44:23]
Dave gives me the, the confidence that we have the zoning for the, the
[1:44:27]
right purpose.
[1:44:28]
And I just don't think I'm going to try to put a coffee shop
[1:44:30]
there.
[1:44:32]
Cuz I I've gotta spell, send a spell, sell a lot of donuts and
[1:44:36]
coffee.
[1:44:37]
To pay the freight
[1:44:38]
and if nobody's coming in, because it's so hard to get in and out
[1:44:42]
Or that we're there once and they backed into somebody.
[1:44:44]
Like somebody did the other day now at.
[1:44:47]
Mo's right through the door.
[1:44:50]
It's Holly, they're waiting for the insurance to come through, to fix the door
[1:44:54]
So at they had all the room of the world there.
[1:44:55]
They've got back into the door.
[1:44:57]
So those things happen.
[1:44:59]
But, you know, I just think that.
[1:45:06]
The plan speaks for itself in terms of.
[1:45:08]
Flexibility and what can happen there?
[1:45:12]
And
[1:45:14]
there's all kinds of businesses that are certainly, I think could.
[1:45:16]
Use that kind of space.
[1:45:20]
Oh, that's where I stand on it anyway.
[1:45:22]
Yeah, I think I agree.
[1:45:23]
I think the zoning.
[1:45:25]
I feel pretty comfortable that the zoning.
[1:45:27]
Yeah, regulations will limit sort of what can happen there as well as the
[1:45:32]
just the site constraints.
[1:45:33]
So I, I personally feel satisfied with.
[1:45:36]
My original question that I think brought this all up.
[1:45:43]
Okay, can we move on or do you, you guys okay.
[1:45:47]
I said my piece.
[1:45:49]
And are we ready for, I, sorry, I had one more.
[1:45:52]
I had two things.
[1:45:52]
Oh, that's right.
[1:45:53]
I have to check with you first.
[1:45:54]
Two things.
[1:45:54]
Sorry.
[1:45:56]
I just wanted to discuss this and I don't wanna take up too much
[1:45:59]
time.
[1:46:00]
Again, but
[1:46:01]
because this is one of the first.
[1:46:05]
Applications that the BIS bicycle infrastructure would apply to.
[1:46:10]
And, you know, I had to look up what we.
[1:46:13]
A section 8.7 0.9, the new.
[1:46:16]
Bike infrastructure regulation.
[1:46:18]
It's it's super subjective.
[1:46:21]
So the applicant, what I heard is the applicant is proposing.
[1:46:25]
Temporary
[1:46:26]
bike racks to be placed in grass.
[1:46:29]
Ass seasonally.
[1:46:32]
And
[1:46:34]
in my opinion,
[1:46:36]
that would not qualify as.
[1:46:38]
Bicycle friendly design elements.
[1:46:41]
Elements
[1:46:41]
because
[1:46:43]
number one, it's not gonna be their year round.
[1:46:45]
Number two, it's gonna be on a grass surface.
[1:46:48]
That is not great for parking a bike on.
[1:46:52]
And
[1:46:53]
number three.
[1:46:54]
There's really nothing.
[1:46:56]
In this application that's unless we add it as a condition, which I would
[1:47:00]
recommend that we do.
[1:47:02]
That that be installed and maintained.
[1:47:04]
Or that be placed and maintained.
[1:47:07]
So, I guess my proposal is that we, that we add a condition at
[1:47:11]
the, at a minimum, at a condition that we.
[1:47:14]
That the applicant
[1:47:17]
place
[1:47:18]
a bike rack seasonally.
[1:47:23]
But personally, I prefer it be on pavement and.
[1:47:27]
You know, be secure, be a piece of infrastructure.
[1:47:30]
Mm-hmm .
[1:47:32]
Almost doesn't make sense to put it on grass cause it's gonna get.
[1:47:35]
Torn up.
[1:47:36]
Yeah.
[1:47:36]
How are you gonna mow the grass there?
[1:47:37]
Bikes on it.
[1:47:38]
Can't mow it.
[1:47:40]
Very easily.
[1:47:41]
Christian move the rack.
[1:47:43]
Did we close
[1:47:44]
again?
[1:47:45]
Hmm, no, we okay.
[1:47:46]
Good.
[1:47:50]
I agree.
[1:47:50]
Thank you.
[1:47:53]
That's a reasonable condition.
[1:47:54]
Okay.
[1:47:58]
I think they're just looking at.
[1:48:00]
Where they might put it.
[1:48:01]
That's not on graph.
[1:48:08]
Do you wanna open it back up for public comments so they can, would
[1:48:11]
you like to speak again?
[1:48:12]
Thank you, sir.
[1:48:14]
You're open to speak to me.
[1:48:15]
Well, now I'm gonna have to go back and, and go back to the
[1:48:18]
site plan, but.
[1:48:22]
Now in, in speaking with Jeff, actually the area that, or one of the
[1:48:27]
areas that.
[1:48:29]
Marty was talking about specific to vehicular movement.
[1:48:35]
If it pleases the board, we do have this location.
[1:48:39]
And I think that is probably, I think that front sidewalk is eight feet
[1:48:43]
wide.
[1:48:43]
If I'm not mistaken.
[1:48:45]
There could be a bike rack.
[1:48:47]
Placed right there.
[1:48:48]
That is paved.
[1:48:49]
That is still proposed to be paved.
[1:48:51]
And if that places the board, we will happily add that as a condition
[1:48:56]
I still think they're gonna want to take it in the winter because that
[1:48:58]
Calvin and I still.
[1:49:00]
While.Good.
[1:49:01]
It's still gonna rust.
[1:49:01]
If you leave that out
[1:49:03]
where they're spreading salt.
[1:49:10]
I would say, just stay on that.
[1:49:12]
The.
[1:49:13]
In town at the Y also downtown there's.
[1:49:17]
There's steel coated ones that are out all year round.
[1:49:19]
And they've been out there for they're like embedded in the concrete they've been
[1:49:23]
in there for.
[1:49:24]
They probably knows eight years.
[1:49:26]
Yeah.
[1:49:26]
Eight years.
[1:49:26]
I think I put 'em in 2018.
[1:49:28]
Look good.
[1:49:29]
So, yeah, there's.
[1:49:31]
There's bill rust event.
[1:49:31]
They starting new, but yeah, they'll 20 years.
[1:49:33]
Yeah, exactly.
[1:49:33]
So they run, but.
[1:49:36]
So there are options there for.
[1:49:38]
Solution, but that's fine.
[1:49:39]
I mean, if they, you guys want it left out the entire winter, I
[1:49:42]
don't know.
[1:49:42]
Who's riding their bike here in the winter, but this guy mm-hmm oh, oh
[1:49:45]
To this place people.
[1:49:45]
Yeah.
[1:49:46]
People.
[1:49:47]
I see very rarely.
[1:49:48]
And I drive, I drive 33 a lot.
[1:49:51]
I do not see a hell of a lot of bikes on that road
[1:49:55]
But
[1:49:55]
whatever you guys want, it's fine.
[1:49:56]
Yeah.
[1:49:57]
We don't have any issue with that.
[1:49:58]
Okay.
[1:50:00]
Think that's good.
[1:50:01]
Yeah.
[1:50:01]
And keep in mind in the near future, Portsmouth avenue is gonna be.
[1:50:06]
Redone mm-hmm it's it's in the CIP P so.
[1:50:10]
It, it, it, the hope is that it's gonna be, are they putting in
[1:50:12]
bike lanes?
[1:50:14]
We haven't gotten there yet.
[1:50:15]
Oh, okay.
[1:50:15]
I'm just saying that it's coming so most likely, most likely I don't want
[1:50:20]
most
[1:50:21]
anything.
[1:50:22]
But yeah, that's one of the few places idea is to.
[1:50:25]
Do things like that.
[1:50:25]
So, yeah.
[1:50:25]
Yeah.
[1:50:26]
No, I think that's great because.
[1:50:29]
When I end up writing my bike down that road, I am fear for
[1:50:32]
my life.
[1:50:34]
Lot of carb cuts to work that one out.
[1:50:36]
Yep.
[1:50:37]
Okay close.
[1:50:38]
Well, I, hold on.
[1:50:39]
I would just suggest, you know, since you opened it for them, for that
[1:50:42]
limited purpose of talking about the bike rack, I would suggest just.
[1:50:45]
Offering it to the public, the rest of the public.
[1:50:47]
If they want to talk about the bike rack issue, ride your bike, anybody
[1:50:51]
How long mate, how long we keep it out.
[1:50:54]
It's stationary like me.
[1:50:55]
Mm-hmm .
[1:50:58]
Public question again.
[1:51:00]
So you, do you have your standard?
[1:51:04]
Are you ready for him?
[1:51:05]
I do have some suggested conditions of approval.
[1:51:07]
I think so.
[1:51:09]
We pretty much all the standard ones.
[1:51:11]
Let me get 'em out here for the bike rack would be around and
[1:51:14]
well, you're gonna have to add the bike rack.
[1:51:15]
I hadn't put that one in there.
[1:51:16]
Okay.
[1:51:17]
Yep.

[1:54:00]

[1:54:03]
saying if I read it, it's like, ah, I gotta.
[1:54:05]
Kick it to municipal group.
[1:54:07]
They usually, you know, the, the applicant will fund that escrow counter
[1:54:11]
complete that review.
[1:54:13]
Thank you.
[1:54:13]
And can I
[1:54:14]
suggest a bicycle rack?
[1:54:16]
Yes.
[1:54:16]
Yeah,
[1:54:17]
a bicycle rack located on the eight foot sidewalk in front of the building
[1:54:20]
shall be.
[1:54:21]
Permanently installed on pavement and shall be noted on the final plans.
[1:54:25]
Plans as year round.
[1:54:26]
Did you say anything?
[1:54:27]
I said permanently installed permanently fine.
[1:54:29]
As long that that's.
[1:54:31]
That's okay.
[1:54:32]
And one EV charging station will be moved from its current site to.
[1:54:38]
Oh, yeah,
[1:54:40]
a site.
[1:54:41]
Did you, did you think that in the, on the purpose favors.
[1:54:46]
Favors somewhere on the pavement.
[1:54:48]
Yes.
[1:54:48]
Okay.
[1:54:49]
That, that would make the most sense.
[1:54:50]
Are you actually, so our regs require EV charging read.
[1:54:54]
Readiness.
[1:54:54]
They don't require charging.
[1:54:56]
They just write, go.
[1:54:57]
So you're but you're actually putting in pedestals.
[1:55:00]
No. Or a conduit. Oh, okay. So the.
[1:55:02]
Conduit's going there.
[1:55:03]
I just wanted to be clear the court, the court's comment you did said
[1:55:07]
I conduit.
[1:55:08]
I thought they were putting the into, so.
[1:55:11]
Okay.
[1:55:11]
And where we going to requested a tree get planted?
[1:55:14]
Yeah.
[1:55:16]
Additional tree planted on the.
[1:55:20]
Northwestern.
[1:55:23]
Lawn space adjacent to force with a.
[1:55:26]
Can I add a comment to that, or just a request that we don't
[1:55:29]
obstruct.
[1:55:30]
So as not to obstruct neighboring signage mm-hmm .
[1:55:32]
Yes.
[1:55:33]
So.
[1:55:34]
It's not to obstruct
[1:55:35]
neighboring signage.
[1:55:36]
Thank you.
[1:55:36]
Yeah.
[1:55:38]
And I have a question, Dave.
[1:55:41]
On on the July 10th, 2 25.
[1:55:45]
Notes from the conservation commission.
[1:55:47]
And this probably should have been with the Shoreland.
[1:55:51]
Well, Shoreland conditional use permit, but they noted that the soils located around and
[1:55:57]
under the existing buildings.
[1:55:59]
Buildings are tested for contamination after building removal.
[1:56:02]
And shown to be in line with state requirements.
[1:56:05]
I read that.
[1:56:06]
And the other one in, did you read that?
[1:56:07]
Yeah, I read it in the record and you approved the conditional use permit
[1:56:10]
with.
[1:56:11]
Those two conditions.
[1:56:11]
Okay.
[1:56:11]
All right.
[1:56:11]
Without the other one is in there.
[1:56:13]
Yep.
[1:56:13]
You're all set monitoring.
[1:56:14]
Well, that's in there.
[1:56:15]
Yep.
[1:56:15]
Okay.
[1:56:16]
The monitoring well located on size decommission.
[1:56:18]
Thank you.
[1:56:18]
Yep.
[1:56:18]
You.
[1:56:19]
Already approved that.
[1:56:19]

[1:57:47]
And I told no,
[1:57:48]
I know, but I have to.
[1:57:53]

[1:57:54]
Okay.
[1:57:54]
We've got that.
[1:57:56]
And then one more.
[1:57:59]
Okay.
[1:57:59]
So there
[1:58:04]

[1:58:04]
I feel like it's already 10 30 or something.
[1:58:10]
Thank you.
[1:58:10]
Good night.
[1:58:11]
Bye.
[1:58:18]
Good night.
[1:58:25]
Okay.
[1:58:42]
To cycle.
[1:58:45]
Do this one, right?
[1:58:46]
Yeah.
[1:58:47]
Wasn't there a PPA hearing.
[1:58:50]
It's a continuance.
[1:58:51]
No, it's a continuum.
[1:58:52]
Okay.
[1:58:52]
But do they need no, we haven't.
[1:58:54]
Hold on.
[1:58:54]
Yeah.
[1:58:55]
Come here for a second.
[1:58:56]
Yeah.
[1:58:57]
They need to be continued again.
[1:58:59]
P.
[1:59:00]
E a
[1:59:01]
yeah, until we can figure out they're they're.
[1:59:06]
The ZBA.
[1:59:08]
Decision was appealed to the housing board of appeals.
[1:59:11]
Okay.
[1:59:11]
So that's going to be tied up for, you know, I don't know,
[1:59:15]
a while for months.
[1:59:18]
So
[1:59:21]
I would
[1:59:22]
let me, I, I, I gotta talk with them to see what they want
[1:59:25]
but, you know, they they'd like to continue.
[1:59:27]
So if you could just continue it until the.
[1:59:30]
September 10th meeting.
[1:59:30]
They're not gonna be there then, but at least that'll give me time to
[1:59:33]
talk with them to see, okay.
[1:59:35]
When do we table it to a date?
[1:59:37]
Certain.
[1:59:38]
Later or what we do about it, because we might have to just.
[1:59:40]
Pull it off the agenda temporarily and this, and just re-notice when it comes
[1:59:44]
back.
[1:59:44]
Yeah.
[1:59:44]
Yep.
[1:59:45]
But just give me a little time to talk to them first and just
[1:59:48]
if you could table it.
[1:59:49]
Till September 10th, that would be appreciated.
[1:59:52]
Okay.
[1:59:53]
I need a motion.
[1:59:54]
I moved that we table.
[1:59:57]
Planning board case number.
[1:59:59]
I almost did this one.
[2:00:00]
We just did.
[2:00:01]
Sorry.
[2:00:02]
Planning board case number.
[2:00:03]
26 dash seven.
[2:00:06]

[2:00:26]
Oh, Sam's, it's not here a minute.
[2:00:28]
sorry.
[2:00:30]
All right.
[2:00:30]
So
[2:00:34]
the continuation of public hearing for the application of.
[2:00:38]
The stone arch
[2:00:39]
development, LLC, for a lot line adjustment and a minor subdivision and site plan
[2:00:44]
review for the redevelopment of.
[2:00:46]
Property located at five Brentwood drive.
[2:00:50]
The redevelopment will consist of eight residential condominium units in a single family home
[2:00:55]
of single family homes.
[2:00:57]
Homes, the project includes new roadway.
[2:00:59]
Underground utilities and drainage structures.
[2:01:02]
Structures tax map 62, parcel number one 11.
[2:01:06]
And planning based planning board case number 26, 11.
[2:01:11]
Is that ready to be?
[2:01:12]
No that's continuation.
[2:01:13]
So we're already going through the first thing.
[2:01:15]
Yep.
[2:01:16]
Do you have some things here to start us off with Dave?
[2:01:20]
Yes.
[2:01:20]
Thank you.
[2:01:21]
As you noted, the, this is a.
[2:01:24]
Return.This was
[2:01:25]
am.
[2:01:26]
A while back back in.
[2:01:28]
July, I think we saw this, but anyway,
[2:01:32]
the
[2:01:33]
site walk was July 14th.
[2:01:34]
If that's helpful.
[2:01:36]
Yeah.
[2:01:36]
And I think there was the June 25th meeting or something like that.
[2:01:39]
Mm-hmm we saw this and then we kinda, you know, there's a break
[2:01:42]
We have that break.
[2:01:43]
And then the C I P.
[2:01:44]
And then
[2:01:45]
we're back here tonight for the second meeting.
[2:01:48]
The, this is for a lot line adjustment and open space subdivision for the
[2:01:52]
redevelopment of property located at five Brentwood road they're drive.
[2:01:55]
There used to be.
[2:01:56]
A a greenhouse there and some.
[2:01:59]
The project includes a new roadway, underground utilities and drainage structures.
[2:02:03]
The TRC reviewed the plans and materials submitted to the planning office.
[2:02:07]
Back in may.
[2:02:09]
And an overview of the proposed prod project was presented.
[2:02:13]
Items that we discussed with 20 foot versus 24 foot road, et cetera.
[2:02:19]
It did also go to the, and I'll get to that in a second
[2:02:21]
but it, it also went to the conservation commission.
[2:02:25]
And they voted unanimously to recommend approval.
[2:02:28]
At their July meeting of the conditional use permit.
[2:02:31]
And I,
[2:02:32]
there was a, should be a memo.
[2:02:35]
Included with the packet.
[2:02:37]
The applicant did submit a new plan set.
[2:02:39]
I've you know, the Chan, I just got back from vacation.
[2:02:42]
So I have a.
[2:02:43]
Chance to review it a little bit.
[2:02:45]
It addressed a.
[2:02:48]
Few items.
[2:02:48]
There's still a few things worth pointing out.
[2:02:51]
One is the width of the roadway and the requirement for his shoulders.
[2:02:55]
You have a Underwood engineers review letter that I haven't got to them that
[2:02:58]
I just got to you earlier.
[2:02:59]
I haven't gotten a chance to give to them cuz we just got it
[2:03:03]
That, that lists out a couple, a handful of still outstanding remaining items.
[2:03:07]
And one is regarding the 24 foot width of the roadway.
[2:03:11]
Where 20 foot they they're proposing a 20 foot wide road or 24 is
[2:03:15]
required.
[2:03:16]
There's no shoulder on one side.
[2:03:19]
They need to submit waivers for that in writing, according to our regs, we
[2:03:22]
have not, we don't have any waivers in writing.
[2:03:25]
I do not believe.
[2:03:27]
Also only two of the six driveways off the cul-de-sac shown with small turnaround
[2:03:31]
areas.
[2:03:31]
So you don't have to back out into a.
[2:03:33]
Public street.
[2:03:34]
So if they are proposing it to be public, then it can't back out
[2:03:38]
If it stays 20 feet and they ask for a waiver, then they can
[2:03:41]
keep it as a private road.
[2:03:42]
Then that provision for backing out on the street, doesn't apply.
[2:03:45]
If it's a private road, it's.
[2:03:47]
It's only on public roads,
[2:03:48]
but that's where the, you know, a discussion with them.
[2:03:51]
There's some other things about some conflicts with landscaping and.
[2:03:55]
Utilities, but
[2:03:57]
nothing, they can't be overcome there.
[2:03:58]
And then there's some discussion about some storm water that, you know, in engineering
[2:04:02]
details.
[2:04:03]
Details
[2:04:04]
and that's, and that's all I have for now.
[2:04:07]
Okay, thank you.
[2:04:07]
Thank you.
[2:04:08]
Well, Christian, you're still here.
[2:04:10]
Yes.
[2:04:11]
Unfortunately for you.
[2:04:12]
I am.
[2:04:13]
Oh, no. Still Christian Smith with Beales associates. And I'm representing this applicant on this
[2:04:18]
project as well.
[2:04:19]
With me tonight, the audience is John O'Neill from stone arch development.
[2:04:24]
And Michael Green from the greening company.
[2:04:26]
And
[2:04:28]
so David kind of went through and I, I think it is.
[2:04:33]
I think it was an initial tack after
[2:04:36]
TRC.
[2:04:38]
That the applicants wanted to go with a, with a public road here.
[2:04:42]
We have reviewed the configuration with the fire department.
[2:04:45]
And from a life safety perspective, they have no issue with it.
[2:04:49]
But I think
[2:04:52]
the easier course and
[2:04:54]
the, the one more amenable to the applicants at this time.
[2:04:58]
Would be to just propose this then as a, as a private drive.
[2:05:02]
I mean, it's, it's a very small road.
[2:05:04]
I'm sure.
[2:05:05]
D P w probably doesn't want to take care of it in any event
[2:05:10]
But that being said, we did.
[2:05:13]
Attend a conservation commission.
[2:05:15]
And planning board combination sidewalk.
[2:05:19]
At which time we did review the configuration that we have here, which.
[2:05:24]
Now proposes two of the buildings.
[2:05:26]
Buildings off McKay.
[2:05:29]
While there were a couple of co commissioners that were not thrilled about a
[2:05:31]
second.
[2:05:32]
Law or a second house coming off of McKay drive.
[2:05:36]
It seemed that the contingent of planning board members.
[2:05:40]
Actually preferred that to spread out the houses a little bit.
[2:05:43]
Added a forwarded us to.
[2:05:46]
To maintain that 50 foot setback.
[2:05:48]
Particularly to our, our butter to the east and south, excuse me, west and
[2:05:54]
south.
[2:05:56]
We still have the waiver request in for.
[2:05:59]
The, the setback
[2:06:01]
adjacent.
[2:06:02]
To the lot that we are creating, though, that's not apparent.
[2:06:05]
Parcel boundary.
[2:06:06]
So I'm not even sure that's required.
[2:06:09]
Required, but anyway,
[2:06:10]
moving on.
[2:06:11]
So we're still proposing.
[2:06:14]
Eight units.
[2:06:15]
Six now would be off the cul-de-sac two would come off McKay.
[2:06:19]
And we have proposed the.
[2:06:23]
Basically a very, very firm.
[2:06:25]
Limit of clearing and limit of what would be maintained potentially.
[2:06:30]
As a lawn space for these folks.
[2:06:33]
We do have a
[2:06:35]
collection system because the curbing is proposed on the road now.
[2:06:39]
That goes through hard pipe.
[2:06:42]
Into a, for bay and into a, for this project, a fairly large bio
[2:06:46]
retention pond.
[2:06:47]
Which is one of the, the better
[2:06:51]
BMP stormwater treatment facilities.
[2:06:54]
That meet all of the criteria.
[2:06:56]
In 9.3, the Exeter stormwater regulations.
[2:07:00]
I believe we reviewed the, the yield plan at the prior meeting.
[2:07:05]
And
[2:07:07]
based on
[2:07:09]
what we're putting into conservation.
[2:07:11]
And if you look at the property, you can kind of see the shading
[2:07:14]
It's a, just a slanted hatch.
[2:07:16]
But all of this area.
[2:07:20]
Is proposed to be conserved.
[2:07:22]
And if you've read the conservation commission's memo from the sidewalk.
[2:07:27]
They were actually quite amenable to.
[2:07:30]
Taking that land because I believe it connects to.
[2:07:33]
Conservation land either here or over here, but.
[2:07:36]
That the conservation commission would actually take on the stewardship of, of that property
[2:07:41]
as well.
[2:07:44]
So that being said, we, you know, with, with the yield plan,
[2:07:49]
we
[2:07:50]
result in a 0.7.
[2:07:53]
Bonus unit.
[2:07:54]
So we would.
[2:07:56]
Then round that up to result in the eight units that you are shown
[2:07:59]
here.
[2:08:03]
Anything else
[2:08:04]
of note from the conservation commission?
[2:08:07]
I don't think so.
[2:08:10]
Very very minor change.
[2:08:12]
Aside from the, the one.
[2:08:15]
Home being relocated to McKay drive.
[2:08:18]
And
[2:08:19]
all of the homes to the south and west now meeting the, the 50
[2:08:22]
foot setback to the parent parcel.
[2:08:25]
And with that, I'll entertain questions, comments from the board.
[2:08:29]
Okay.
[2:08:32]
Questions comments.
[2:08:34]
Comments
[2:08:36]
I'll start really?
[2:08:37]
I know, come up.
[2:08:39]
I'm curious as to why there's a driveway going into the.
[2:08:42]
Neighboring the lot.
[2:08:43]
That's on existing lot.
[2:08:44]
That's on Brentwood road.
[2:08:47]
Simply because that Gwen is part of the, the lot line adjustment with that
[2:08:51]
parcel.
[2:08:51]
He is.
[2:08:53]
The son of the owner of this property.
[2:08:56]
And he asked if
[2:08:58]
he would prefer a driveway off of the new road as opposed to Brentwood
[2:09:01]
road due to vehicles.
[2:09:02]
So will he eliminate.
[2:09:04]
The driveway off that I don't know what a plan is.
[2:09:07]
He's adding a two car garage.
[2:09:09]
And I'm not sure if he's going to eliminate that if it's gonna be
[2:09:12]
side load, but certainly he can't have a driveway on both.
[2:09:14]
So we'll have to figure that out.
[2:09:15]
Figure that one out.
[2:09:16]
Okay.
[2:09:17]
So.
[2:09:17]
Unknown
[2:09:19]
and on your houses.
[2:09:21]
There's a little
[2:09:23]
narrow.
[2:09:24]
Outline going around the perimeter of the house itself or is that the storm
[2:09:29]
drip edge or is that yes, that, so.
[2:09:32]
All those have drift edges.
[2:09:34]
Edges
[2:09:35]
is that correct?
[2:09:37]
Oh, no, I'm sorry, Gwen.
[2:09:39]
Those are the Eves.
[2:09:40]
The, the only one proposed with drip edge at this point in time.
[2:09:44]
Would be the one number 11, 11.
[2:09:47]
Why did you, why did you eliminate.
[2:09:50]
Didn't they have 'em before?
[2:09:52]
Not, not every one of them did.
[2:09:54]
I think a couple of, more of them did.
[2:09:57]
But I believe they were eliminated based on the relocation and removing one of
[2:10:02]
those units and putting it on McKay.
[2:10:04]
Now more of the, the house structures drained directly to the, the buyer retention
[2:10:09]
pond.
[2:10:13]
Hmm.
[2:10:15]
Okay.
[2:10:17]
So this, this again is.
[2:10:19]
A private road off Brentwood road.
[2:10:22]
That, that is what
[2:10:24]
the, the applicant is contemplating and thinking at this point.
[2:10:27]
No. Yes. And the other two of course are a driveway. So.
[2:10:31]
Yes, same idea.
[2:10:32]
Yep.
[2:10:32]
Yep.
[2:10:38]
It was the proposed eight foot high vinyl fence.
[2:10:42]
Was that something that was agreed to by.
[2:10:45]
The applicant and
[2:10:47]
a butters or was that
[2:10:50]
yeah.
[2:10:51]
That was, yeah, I, I believe John and the, the owner of the house
[2:10:55]
that's getting a lot line investment, getting a little more land.
[2:10:59]
Work that out with those that's what they wanted.
[2:11:00]
Yeah.
[2:11:00]
And they were all also consulted on the.
[2:11:04]
Final landscape plan that was proposed.
[2:11:06]
Okay,
[2:11:07]
well, something similar to that on the development.
[2:11:09]
That's off little river road.
[2:11:12]
Yes, I think we put in a expert vegetated, but yep.
[2:11:16]
And then hoping that will grow up and maybe.
[2:11:19]
Eliminate the need for the vinyl fence, but I just was curious how that
[2:11:24]
Came about
[2:11:27]
you have 4, 6, 5 decks that are in, within the.
[2:11:33]
75 foot building wetland buffer.
[2:11:36]
Is there any way that, that, that, that those can be.
[2:11:42]
I think those are actually patios.
[2:11:44]
Gwen, are they?
[2:11:45]
Those are, oh, those are decks.
[2:11:47]
You're right.
[2:11:47]
Those deck.
[2:11:47]
Yeah.
[2:11:48]
Just can't see.
[2:11:49]
The hatch at the scale
[2:11:50]
and it's so out of focus on the screen, it's.
[2:11:54]
It's difficult to tell.
[2:11:55]
Yeah, kind of is .
[2:11:57]
That's okay.
[2:12:05]
Which just like to keep things out of the buffer.
[2:12:10]
So it's the three on the lower two on the McKay.
[2:12:13]
I think.
[2:12:15]
Are both two on McKay and I think one.
[2:12:19]
And three actually.
[2:12:22]
And the other section.
[2:12:24]
Five seven and nine.
[2:12:25]
Yep.
[2:12:26]
Five seven and nine.
[2:12:29]
Yep.
[2:12:29]
Got it.
[2:12:29]
Just wondering if you can.
[2:12:32]
Do something to eliminate that.
[2:12:40]
Yeah, actually, that's a valid point, Gwen, because.
[2:12:43]
When we, when we designed this, we were assuming the, the right of way
[2:12:46]
was the setback.
[2:12:48]
This goes private.
[2:12:49]
The, the setback then goes from the edge of pavement.
[2:12:53]
So actually I believe we can pull those units forward.
[2:12:57]
And, and accomplish that.
[2:12:58]
Okay, great.
[2:13:01]
Okay.
[2:13:08]
School bus stop, I guess.
[2:13:10]
I don't know if you've got to that point.
[2:13:11]
I'm guessing kids would have to come down Brentwood road.
[2:13:14]
That is our as.
[2:13:15]
Assumption and
[2:13:16]
don't know that yet.
[2:13:21]
The sidewalks on the other side of the road?
[2:13:22]
Yeah, the sidewalk.
[2:13:33]
Yeah.
[2:13:33]
Can I ask on that?
[2:13:34]
If we're on that,
[2:13:35]
does that a mid-block crossing you're proposing.
[2:13:38]
I'm not really sure.
[2:13:39]
What sun subdivision site plan B at the end of the sidewalk, you show
[2:13:42]
two dark lines.
[2:13:44]
Cross, hold on.
[2:13:45]
If that's the case.
[2:13:47]
On the site, PL subdivision site plan, look at the subdivision site plan B
[2:13:50]
Yep.
[2:13:51]
Mm-hmm .
[2:13:56]
Oh, that's better.
[2:13:57]
Yeah.
[2:13:58]
Oh, yeah.
[2:14:13]
Next one.
[2:14:14]
Yep.
[2:14:15]
Keep going.
[2:14:17]
Slate.
[2:14:21]
One more
[2:14:22]
overall
[2:14:24]
these and extra B next one.
[2:14:25]
There is.
[2:14:25]
There you go.
[2:14:26]
There it is.
[2:14:27]
What is that down at the end end of the sidewalk going across Brentwood
[2:14:32]
There's two lines.
[2:14:33]
I think that is a crosswalk.
[2:14:34]
That was that.
[2:14:36]
Came out of TRC, David.
[2:14:40]
Yeah, I remember discussing it, but I don't remember.
[2:14:42]
We, someone said put it in.
[2:14:45]
Cause it looks like this curbing the conflict.
[2:14:46]
Is it a tip down and.
[2:14:49]
Well, yeah, the, the
[2:14:51]
basically where that there's gonna be a handicap accessible landing.
[2:14:55]
Yeah.At the end of that.
[2:14:56]
So the curbing would tip down before you get there.
[2:14:59]
Yeah.
[2:14:59]
Yeah.
[2:15:00]
And then yes, just painted lines across.
[2:15:03]
To the sidewalk on the other side of the road.
[2:15:05]
Okay.
[2:15:06]
But in, in the event of.
[2:15:10]
A private roadway.
[2:15:12]
I guess internal sidewalks that aren't even required.
[2:15:16]
Well, it's no, it's a newly created street.
[2:15:18]
It doesn't matter if it's private or public.
[2:15:19]
Okay.
[2:15:20]
But
[2:15:21]
in that case, you gotta, you get out of a lot.
[2:15:23]
Of stuff by making it private.
[2:15:24]
I thought that was D P w what it was actually talking about putting
[2:15:28]
in that crosswalk.
[2:15:29]
Yeah, I heard, I remember that, but I don't remember it saying.
[2:15:31]
Put it in because just, just an issue with you gotta be very careful
[2:15:34]
with mid-block crossings and where you put 'em and what kind of signage goes
[2:15:38]
with them?
[2:15:38]
Is it a rapid rec.
[2:15:40]
Rectangular rapid flash and beacon.
[2:15:41]
Do you put up there?
[2:15:42]
I mean, that's what I would, the speeds.
[2:15:43]
Yeah, you probably that's right.
[2:15:44]
That's why I brought it up.
[2:15:46]
So, so.
[2:15:48]
I think we need a little more
[2:15:49]
consideration on that instead of just the two lines without any additional, unless there's
[2:15:54]
information.
[2:15:56]
There
[2:15:56]
more detail than just what I'm seeing.
[2:15:59]
There's no detail on what that crossing's gonna be as far as approach signage
[2:16:04]
or.
[2:16:05]
Flashing beacon or anything like that.
[2:16:06]
Right.
[2:16:08]
Yeah, Christian check.
[2:16:12]
Would it
[2:16:16]
yeah, no, but that, that is, that is definitively.
[2:16:19]
Yeah.
[2:16:20]
And that's just the lighting.
[2:16:24]
That is definitively gonna want be an addition to.
[2:16:29]
Yeah.
[2:16:29]
If, and if, you know,
[2:16:32]
we'd even that's the appropriate spot for it.
[2:16:35]
I mean, I, I know there's a sidewalk there, but midblock, crossing's just gotta
[2:16:38]
you gotta take a lot of consideration.
[2:16:39]
Oh yeah.
[2:16:40]
Understood Karen determining if, if they're gonna go there, you know, speeds on that
[2:16:44]
road and so forth at that.
[2:16:45]
Well, I think the issue was they wanted the CRO. They wanted the sidewalk
[2:16:48]
On this road.
[2:16:49]
Yeah.
[2:16:49]
And there's no sidewalk on that side of the street.
[2:16:52]
No understood.
[2:16:52]
So they wanted us to get them to the actual sidewalk on Brentwood road
[2:16:57]
So I will,
[2:16:58]
I will consult a, a traffic consultant.
[2:17:01]
A traffic engineer
[2:17:02]
and they, they will give us the appropriate.
[2:17:06]
Distances down each side of the road, that those are should go.
[2:17:08]
Yeah.
[2:17:08]
And whatever.
[2:17:10]
Infrastructure and to make it safe.
[2:17:11]
Yep.
[2:17:12]
Yep.
[2:17:12]
Regarding, because then I'm assuming we'll, we'll take that over because.
[2:17:16]
That that's on a town road.
[2:17:17]
Yes.
[2:17:17]
So any infrastructure that will be ours it's regarding that infrastructure.
[2:17:22]
Change there.
[2:17:22]
You said the flashing beacon.
[2:17:23]
Also, if that's a bump out, I'm not sure what the spaces would be
[2:17:27]
needed, but if that could be.
[2:17:29]
You know,
[2:17:30]
a smaller version, what we have downtown.
[2:17:34]
I don't know what it's gonna be.
[2:17:35]
That's why I'm asking.
[2:17:35]
Yeah.
[2:17:36]
They're not proposing any detail at this point.
[2:17:38]
So yeah, I'm just saying things to keep in mind on that.
[2:17:41]
Bump out too.
[2:17:41]
So it's also.
[2:17:43]
Shortens the crossing distance and is a visual, additional visual indicator to cars that
[2:17:47]
there's something going on there besides the flashing beacon.
[2:17:51]
And, and can I
[2:17:53]
Dave, could I suggest also that it seems to me that
[2:17:56]
the decision on whether a crosswalk should be long on Brentwood road at that
[2:18:00]
location.
[2:18:01]
Is more of a town
[2:18:03]
decision.
[2:18:03]
Does it make sense?
[2:18:04]
Does it, you know, I don't know if that's come from planning or public
[2:18:07]
works or whatever, but it may.
[2:18:09]
Make sense for this
[2:18:11]
project.
[2:18:12]
But it may not make, there may be other locations that need crosswalks on
[2:18:15]
Brentwood road.
[2:18:17]
That the town should really have more.
[2:18:20]
Say on than us focusing on.
[2:18:22]
This part, cuz maybe, maybe putting this in will preclude.
[2:18:26]
Another crosswalk that needs to go.
[2:18:29]
To a, oh, well, this would be, they would they're being, so they would
[2:18:33]
fund this.
[2:18:34]
I understand.
[2:18:34]
But I'm saying I'm.
[2:18:36]
I'm they can pay for something and put it in.
[2:18:37]
Then we can find out that.
[2:18:39]
Well, gee, you know,
[2:18:41]
if there was a need for a Crosswork, it might have been.
[2:18:44]
300 yards down the road.
[2:18:45]
I, I don't know that.
[2:18:45]
I'm just saying.
[2:18:47]
That it, it should be more of a, you know, is it something that
[2:18:51]
Planning or the public works or somebody agrees that that makes sense.
[2:18:55]
Well, that's what I'm saying.
[2:18:56]
I think the discussion was that that they would like to see it.
[2:18:59]
Okay.
[2:18:59]
The public works representatives at the TRC.
[2:19:02]
Would they like to.
[2:19:03]
See it, what I was following up on is there's really no detail.
[2:19:06]
Yeah.
[2:19:07]
And there needs to be more detail about what this crossing and to make
[2:19:10]
sure it's safe.
[2:19:11]
Because with this, I don't really know what, what is being proposed here.
[2:19:15]
Okay.
[2:19:15]
So public works has already said, this is the best location they want.
[2:19:18]
They like it.
[2:19:18]
Well, that's what they.
[2:19:20]
Suggested at the TRC.
[2:19:21]
Now that Christian reminded me, but I was just asking about let's at the
[2:19:25]
TRC.
[2:19:28]
We make comments, but then they don't come back.They.
[2:19:28]
Go to the planning board.
[2:19:29]
And then we, you know, I, I try to make sure any.
[2:19:32]
Like that.
[2:19:33]
That's why I'm like, well, we need more detail on that.
[2:19:35]
Oh, yep.
[2:19:36]
So could I just follow up with that?
[2:19:37]
And just once the more detail is provided will D P w look at
[2:19:41]
that.
[2:19:42]
The additional detail.
[2:19:43]
We usually.
[2:19:45]
Get plans for them and send them to them.
[2:19:46]
Yeah.
[2:19:46]
Oh, just checking.
[2:19:47]
Yeah.
[2:19:48]
Yeah.
[2:19:48]
Thank you.
[2:19:51]
Anything in there right away, we pay particularly attention to as well.
[2:19:53]
Yeah, I just.
[2:19:55]
This is an interior to the people that road.
[2:19:57]
This is gonna happen on Brentwood on Brentwood road.
[2:20:00]
They will be included.
[2:20:01]
Yes.
[2:20:02]
Yes.
[2:20:02]
Good for the public to know that it will be looked at again.
[2:20:06]
It's great that we get people to cross, you know, I I'm all for
[2:20:09]
crossing, but I just wanna make sure it's a safe situation.
[2:20:13]
Yeah, other than,
[2:20:14]
yeah.
[2:20:17]
Now I have to drive it, look prospects.
[2:20:19]
Cause I, yeah, I took up a lot of oxygen there and what's that
[2:20:22]
I said, I just took up a lot of oxygen.
[2:20:24]
So I'll stop.
[2:20:24]
No, no, no. It's all important stuff.
[2:20:27]
I just said, I.
[2:20:29]
Am trying to visualize what we have for crosswalks on that.
[2:20:33]
I drive it kind of frequently.
[2:20:33]
Stretch.
[2:20:34]
Right?
[2:20:35]
So 20 there aren't any aren't there's not, it's just at, I understand at
[2:20:39]
the intersection square where the new.
[2:20:41]
The whole, yeah.
[2:20:42]
Yeah.
[2:20:42]
And then also that's what I was thinking.
[2:20:43]
The sidewalk ends.
[2:20:45]
Ends at Washington road.
[2:20:46]
You scroll down.
[2:20:47]
Oh, you can't scroll down, but it ends.
[2:20:49]
Ends right there, right near there.
[2:20:50]
So this makes sense because.
[2:20:52]
If it's six units.
[2:20:55]
There, you know, 12 people.
[2:20:58]
12 to 20 people living there.
[2:21:00]
However many,
[2:21:02]
the other side of the road is where the crosswalk is.
[2:21:04]
So like accessibility for that is.
[2:21:07]
Yeah, I think that what makes sense.
[2:21:08]
Yeah.
[2:21:08]
But yeah, apparently road is.
[2:21:11]
The dodgy.
[2:21:13]
Yeah,
[2:21:15]
horrible.
[2:21:19]
Okay.
[2:21:27]
Do you have the
[2:21:28]
confirmation commission law.
[2:21:30]
Yeah.
[2:21:32]
I can't find one anywhere.
[2:21:34]
I've got, I'm working off a three packet here.
[2:21:49]
Okay, thank you.
[2:21:52]
I have a question just because it's been a while since we've looked at
[2:21:55]
this, can we approve the yield plan?
[2:21:58]
At the last meeting.
[2:21:59]
I can't remember.
[2:22:00]
No, we did not.
[2:22:01]
So should we look at the yield plan?
[2:22:04]
Uhoh
[2:22:05]
I don't have any, you should it's we should.
[2:22:07]
Yeah, because we need to approve that before we can approve the.
[2:22:10]
Yeah,
[2:22:11]
you need to, it says accept.
[2:22:13]
I believe, read to accept it.
[2:22:14]
Okay.
[2:22:15]
Accept.
[2:22:16]
Cause I feel like first time we at have to make a formal.
[2:22:19]
Lot of the times we'll make a formal vote.
[2:22:20]
But if you, if you approve the plan, then you've accepted the yield plan
[2:22:24]
Yeah.
[2:22:24]
You know, if, if you have any issues, you should discuss it and.
[2:22:27]
Have that discussion now.
[2:22:28]
Yeah.
[2:22:28]
Okay.
[2:22:29]
Yeah.
[2:22:29]
I seem to remember that there were some concerns and we were gonna go
[2:22:32]
look at the site.
[2:22:33]
And I don't know if we've addressed all the concerns.
[2:22:36]
I didn't bring one with me.
[2:22:40]
Yeah,
[2:22:42]
the old, the yield plan for this project.
[2:22:45]
I probably have it, but I'm, I'm all over the place tonight.
[2:22:48]
I can't.
[2:22:49]
Thank, can you kinda keep that tagged?
[2:22:51]
I will.
[2:22:52]
Okay.
[2:22:52]
What was that meeting date?
[2:22:56]
Oh boy.
[2:22:56]
Well, it could have been June 25th.
[2:22:59]
I mean, yeah, July 9th.
[2:23:00]
Was it July 9th, the ninth of the 20 June.
[2:23:02]
It was July 9th.
[2:23:03]
I think so.
[2:23:03]
Yeah.
[2:23:04]
All right.
[2:23:04]
Okay.
[2:23:06]
We've been the 23rd was canceled.
[2:23:08]
So it was July 9th?
[2:23:09]
Yes.
[2:23:09]
Yep.
[2:23:10]
Or.
[2:23:11]
Where was the 25th?
[2:23:12]
I've got the 25th.
[2:23:13]
No, it was the 25th.
[2:23:15]
June 25th.
[2:23:15]
Yeah.
[2:23:16]
I don't think you went on the July 13th.
[2:23:19]
No, you weren't there.
[2:23:20]
Oh, okay.
[2:23:21]
You met all met once in July.
[2:23:25]
Yeah, let me, let me, I'll find out definitively here in a second.
[2:23:33]
Some issues though.
[2:23:35]
I remember there were some issues and I just couldn't.
[2:23:37]
Couldn't remember if they were resolved?
[2:23:38]
Yeah.
[2:23:39]
One of 'em was the.
[2:23:41]
Her name winter street, Phillips waiver with a neighbor.
[2:23:47]
So, yeah.
[2:23:49]
But just for
[2:23:51]
between meetings.
[2:23:53]
Meetings people shoot.
[2:24:12]
That was the 25th.
[2:24:13]
Yeah.
[2:24:17]
I sort of feel like there are a lot of things that.
[2:24:20]
Have been brought up by U EI.
[2:24:23]
I and
[2:24:25]
a few things that may come up tonight that will.
[2:24:29]
Be require them to come back.
[2:24:32]
So maybe we can
[2:24:34]
table sort of table that.
[2:24:36]
Until
[2:24:38]
they seen it enough to be able to respond to them.
[2:24:41]
And there's a lot, there, there is a lot.
[2:24:43]
And.
[2:24:45]
We can keep going.
[2:24:47]
This concerns or thoughts we have on this.
[2:24:52]
Yeah, I am.
[2:24:56]
Good idea.
[2:25:20]
And one of the conservation commission notes.
[2:25:25]
They noted that the wetlands were surveyed on December 22nd.
[2:25:28]
And there was a question as to whether there'd been follow up inspection.
[2:25:32]
Inspections by the wetland scientist to confirm the results.
[2:25:36]
And was the site inspected during times appropriate to identify presence or absence of
[2:25:40]
Vernal.
[2:25:41]
Pool's.
[2:25:42]
And I just wondered if you have.
[2:25:46]
An answer.
[2:25:47]
If you can.
[2:25:49]
Supply us with an answer on that.
[2:25:51]
Yeah, I, I, I wasn't Jack bag out there
[2:25:55]
this spring.
[2:25:57]
And yeah, there, there was, there was no Vernal pools found for certain.
[2:26:01]
We could certainly get our.
[2:26:04]
Soil and wetland scientists to.
[2:26:08]
Put that into his memo, cuz
[2:26:09]
I, I am not re recalling him actually adding that to his report.
[2:26:14]
I did.
[2:26:15]
I didn't see it.
[2:26:17]
In, but I know he's been back out on site because I believe he
[2:26:21]
did a couple of adjustments for us.
[2:26:24]
Still laid up.
[2:26:31]
Yeah.
[2:26:31]
And I'm, I'm just not.
[2:26:33]
Finding that in this particular calendar time.
[2:26:38]
And we'll need to have.
[2:26:41]
There were a lot of comments again by U EI.
[2:26:44]
I on trees that were.
[2:26:47]
Placed in locations that either were.
[2:26:51]
Over utilities or there were some.
[2:26:54]
There were several concerns in the one of the U EI letters.
[2:26:59]
Well, if that's the one that came in today, I haven't even seen it
[2:26:59]
Letters.
[2:27:01]
Yeah.
[2:27:02]
Okay.
[2:27:02]
And I don't remember.
[2:27:03]
I, I did look at that one.
[2:27:05]
I don't know if the other one, but.
[2:27:07]
That it, it sounded like there's gonna need to be a lot done to
[2:27:10]
revise the landscape plan.
[2:27:15]
And you'll see that when you.
[2:27:18]
See the letter from U EI.
[2:27:21]
I, I don't know.
[2:27:23]
Let me just see
[2:27:26]
oh, wait a minute.
[2:27:30]
Three.
[2:27:35]
Yes,
[2:27:36]
it is.
[2:27:36]
It's on page three of the recent U E I.
[2:27:40]
Letter
[2:27:51]
I like 1, 2, 3, what was five, five different points.
[2:27:56]
Of trees that need to be moved.
[2:27:58]
And I guess, I guess in follow up to that, I would.
[2:28:02]
Request that
[2:28:05]
trees that they're seeing need to be removed.
[2:28:07]
If those could be.
[2:28:09]
And this this lot has been pretty heavily.
[2:28:12]
Cleared.
[2:28:14]
And I would like to
[2:28:16]
not see trees just removed and forgotten about, I'd like to see them.
[2:28:20]
Put somewhere else.
[2:28:22]
And try to re-vegetate this as best we can.
[2:28:26]
That's tough out back there.
[2:28:27]
Boy, they put somebody to sit still sitting in the.
[2:28:31]
Bucket and, you know, they were small trees at one time.
[2:28:33]
Yeah.
[2:28:33]
So it's that kind of a mishmash up there?
[2:28:35]
Yes, there's no.
[2:28:37]
No order to right.
[2:28:38]
Yeah.
[2:28:55]
Anything else we need to be looking at.
[2:29:00]
I have a question on the conservation.
[2:29:02]
Commission letter from August 12th.
[2:29:05]
12th.
[2:29:05]
It's the last paragraph.
[2:29:08]
Thank you.
[2:29:09]
Are we supposed to be getting more information from the applicant?
[2:29:13]
On the language of the conservation land.
[2:29:19]
They voted unanimously that they support in concept.
[2:29:22]
Yeah.
[2:29:24]
Right.
[2:29:24]
They were looking for.
[2:29:26]
What that language would actually be.
[2:29:30]
The charm.
[2:29:31]
So isn't that something eventually comes to you, Dave, that it, well, Kristen.
[2:29:37]
And
[2:29:38]
I can't see you.
[2:29:39]
Yeah.
[2:29:41]
So that those planning board doesn't have to look at that.
[2:29:43]
That's something that happens really.
[2:29:46]
What happens?
[2:29:46]
Oh, you can.
[2:29:47]
Yeah.
[2:29:47]
Okay.
[2:29:48]
Well, no, but typically it would just.
[2:29:51]
Well, yeah, because we don't even know what kind, what it is.
[2:29:54]
It says what type of deed.
[2:29:56]
Easement terms, conservation boundary, correct?
[2:30:00]
Yeah.
[2:30:00]
There's a few questions.
[2:30:02]
So at some point I would like to know what.
[2:30:05]
What the crime is for the bonus is if the conservation commission is willing
[2:30:10]
to accept the land, you can get a bonus.
[2:30:13]
Mm.
[2:30:13]
Mm-hmm a density bonus.
[2:30:14]
Mm-hmm and, and they are willing to accept it in concepts, in concept
[2:30:18]
move along with showing a units instead of.
[2:30:21]
Seven one is the density bonus.
[2:30:24]
But yet at some point we, we need to know what that yeah, because
[2:30:28]
in constant Pete actually is gonna say yes.
[2:30:30]
Yeah.
[2:30:31]
So if we can get that clarified at some point,
[2:30:34]
yeah.
[2:30:35]
I mean, typically the.
[2:30:37]
The concert or excuse me, the.
[2:30:39]
Easement documents, conservation documents.
[2:30:42]
Those get done.
[2:30:44]
Once we're
[2:30:45]
stopping, moving trees, things of that.
[2:30:47]
Yep.
[2:30:47]
Got it.
[2:30:48]
Just we're we're checking off a list of what we're looking for and that
[2:30:52]
is.
[2:30:52]
Something that absolutely they were, they didn't have.
[2:30:56]
The information when you talked to them, I watched the meeting, right.
[2:30:59]
Because, and that was one of the things that got worked out at the
[2:31:02]
sidewalk is because we don't know if they.
[2:31:04]
Want
[2:31:05]
and conservation easement and.
[2:31:08]
Deed restriction, et cetera, et cetera.
[2:31:10]
Until we work with them and I think we understand what they're gonna be
[2:31:14]
comfortable with.
[2:31:15]
And now it's just a matter of John to get his attorneys to.
[2:31:19]
Draft the appropriate language.
[2:31:20]
Great.
[2:31:20]
Yeah.
[2:31:22]
How about number three commission also noted strong preference to adopt this plan.
[2:31:27]
As presented, avoiding the development of the second lad off.
[2:31:31]
Of McKay drive in order to preserve larger contiguous wetland and wetland buffer complex
[2:31:35]
without encroachments.
[2:31:38]
To support settlement retention.
[2:31:40]
And encourage groundwater recharge.
[2:31:43]
Yeah, that was one of the points of my.
[2:31:46]
Introduction Mr. Chairman.
[2:31:48]
And
[2:31:50]
while there were a couple of commissioners that were not thrilled about that,
[2:31:54]
the, the contingent of.
[2:31:56]
Planning board members.
[2:31:57]
Now I wasn't at the sidewalk.
[2:31:58]
My, my.
[2:32:00]
Senior engineer.
[2:32:01]
We noticed that John Morgan.
[2:32:04]
Morton.
[2:32:04]
He was very good by the way.
[2:32:06]
He said that a number of planning board members, and maybe it was just
[2:32:10]
a couple planning board members.
[2:32:13]
I don't even know how many of you were able to make it outthere.
[2:32:14]
But we're actually very much in favor of that.
[2:32:17]
Second unit out on McKay drive.
[2:32:19]
Yeah.
[2:32:20]
Because,
[2:32:21]
you know, it's, it is not affecting wetlands itself.
[2:32:24]
Right.
[2:32:25]
And the buffers on those two front.
[2:32:28]
Proposed thousands out there.
[2:32:31]
You know, they're, they're just, they're not in that great shape because they're right
[2:32:35]
next to paragraph.
[2:32:36]
Photograph, but anyway.
[2:32:38]
Okay.
[2:32:38]
Yep.
[2:32:39]
Yep.
[2:32:39]
We, we understood what the conservation commission's.
[2:32:43]
Physician was it, it just seemed that this board's.
[2:32:46]
Board's position or the agents that were there were, were counter to that.
[2:32:50]
So that's what we ended.
[2:32:57]
We always request
[2:32:59]
the marking of trees that are over.
[2:33:02]
20 inches in diameter.
[2:33:05]
To be noted on the existing condition plan.
[2:33:08]
I know that this site was.
[2:33:10]
Cleared , but I don't know about the two lots on McKay.
[2:33:15]
I, I didn't notice.
[2:33:16]
Yeah.
[2:33:16]
I, I will check.
[2:33:17]
Can you check and see if they're in?
[2:33:18]
Yeah, I'll take a look at that because I, I know that.
[2:33:23]
That civil works is aware of that requirement.
[2:33:26]
Yep.
[2:33:26]
Yeah.
[2:33:27]
I I was on the sidewalk
[2:33:29]
could well be Glen that they, they picked him off with the survey.
[2:33:33]
Points, but didn't process it through text that shows up on the drawing.
[2:33:37]
I'll double check mm-hmm I'll mark.
[2:33:38]
That that would be great.
[2:33:39]
Yeah, you did show three.
[2:33:41]
Coniferous trees on the
[2:33:44]
existing conditions plan.
[2:33:45]
We thought those were them.
[2:33:47]
But anyway, they, they didn't identify 'em as 20 inches or better, but
[2:33:51]
OUS trees they're on.
[2:33:54]
They're on sheet.
[2:33:56]
Well, they're on multiple sheets.
[2:33:57]
They're on the lot line adjustment sheet,
[2:33:59]
existing conditions.
[2:34:00]
Yeah.
[2:34:01]
So I thought those I'll have exist to find out well, we'll confirm that
[2:34:05]
but I thought that's all that exists.
[2:34:06]
Right?
[2:34:07]
Which ones meet the 20 inches and which ones do.
[2:34:09]
Not
[2:34:10]
because we talked about that at the TRC as well.
[2:34:19]
Thank you.
[2:34:19]
Other questions, concerns.
[2:34:26]
No, just if we can get a response to the letter that was handed
[2:34:29]
out tonight.
[2:34:31]
You know, before
[2:34:33]
with time to review it before our next oh, that was this one here
[2:34:35]
Yeah.
[2:34:36]
Okay.
[2:34:36]
Yes.
[2:34:37]
We had a handout.
[2:34:38]
No, I'll put it someplace.
[2:34:39]
Oh, it's over here.
[2:34:40]
Yep.
[2:34:45]
Anybody from the public, let me open it to the public.
[2:34:47]
Anybody in the public like to speak about this particular project?
[2:34:54]
Don't all speaker once.
[2:35:03]
well hearing none, then we're all set with the, at this point, I'll close
[2:35:06]
Well, I'll leave it open.
[2:35:09]
So just, I know we'll probably look at the yield plan at the next
[2:35:12]
meeting, but just to be clear is so the yield plan dated
[2:35:16]
February 20.
[2:35:17]
26.
[2:35:18]
Is that the one we're using?
[2:35:21]
Cause I'm only seeing
[2:35:23]
I'm seeing nine lots on that one.
[2:35:25]
And then 10 lots on the proposed.
[2:35:28]
But maybe I miscounting.
[2:35:30]
This should only be seven.
[2:35:33]
Well, so I'm including the two lots on the street.
[2:35:36]
Oh, the lots, the, the lot line adjustment lot.
[2:35:38]
And then the lots being carved.
[2:35:39]
Right.
[2:35:40]
So, yeah.
[2:35:41]
So.
[2:35:41]
There should be nine seven.
[2:35:43]
New lots.
[2:35:44]
Yeah.
[2:35:46]
And then there's eight new lots.
[2:35:47]
Are there eight new lots on your proposed plans?
[2:35:49]
Eight new buildings.
[2:35:50]
Yes.
[2:35:50]
Yes, because we're, we're proposing.
[2:35:53]
To enact the 10% density bonus.
[2:35:57]
Based on the fact that we're putting over 50% of the land in the
[2:35:59]
conservation.
[2:36:00]
Got it.
[2:36:00]
Okay.
[2:36:01]
I think I, and doesn't one of the units exist the bottom, right?
[2:36:04]
One you're counting as.
[2:36:05]
A unit in the yield plant.
[2:36:06]
Yes.
[2:36:06]
Don't you move that lot line.
[2:36:10]
That's what I thought.
[2:36:11]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2:36:12]
Okay.
[2:36:12]
Yes.
[2:36:13]
Just.
[2:36:16]
So there's already one of those long units.
[2:36:19]
There.
[2:36:19]
Okay.
[2:36:21]
So, you know, when you get to yeah, so you get to nine, but
[2:36:24]
it's actually eight new ones cuz one of 'em already exists.
[2:36:27]
Right?
[2:36:27]
Okay.
[2:36:28]
So the bonus gets you nine?
[2:36:30]
No, the bonus gets you the eighth one bonus gets you eight new ones
[2:36:34]
Eight new ones.
[2:36:35]
Yeah.
[2:36:35]
Yeah.
[2:36:36]
Remaining.
[2:36:36]
Land
[2:36:37]
after subdividing off the parcel that used to have all the greenhouses
[2:36:42]
you could get.
[2:36:43]
But on top, there's already.
[2:36:45]
One existing.
[2:36:45]
So it's a little confusing.
[2:36:46]
I'm gonna take your work a little bit.
[2:36:47]
Yeah.
[2:36:48]
I, I don't know what happened tonight, but yes.
[2:36:50]
Okay.
[2:36:50]
Yeah.
[2:36:51]
I think what you need to, you know, just, just.
[2:36:54]
Do you like, you know, the, the, the yield plan.
[2:36:57]
Where the lots and the configured do they meet the zoning mm-hmm and
[2:36:59]
so forth?
[2:37:00]
Mm-hmm that's what you determine.
[2:37:04]
One, one really quick question.
[2:37:07]
On mm-hmm the lighting plan.
[2:37:08]
You have a light.
[2:37:10]
At the end of the road at the intersection?
[2:37:12]
Yes.
[2:37:12]
Is that that's not a, like a regular utility pole.
[2:37:16]
It's the pole Mount.
[2:37:18]
That you have pictured, correct.
[2:37:19]
That's looked at is yep.
[2:37:20]
Okay.
[2:37:20]
That's what I thought.
[2:37:22]
Okay.
[2:37:24]
What's the condominium like
[2:37:27]
yeah, pretty much.
[2:37:31]
That's it.
[2:37:32]
All right.
[2:37:43]
What's interesting.
[2:37:44]
Marty is
[2:37:45]
I talked to John Bell.
[2:37:46]
I was talking to.
[2:37:48]
D P w and they have resurfacing.
[2:37:51]
Brentwood road next year, and we're gonna do it this year, grind it, but
[2:37:54]
they thought they would tie it into what we're doing.
[2:37:56]
So at that point it makes a lot of sense to.
[2:37:59]
Work on that, that crosswalk situation.
[2:38:02]
Does that mean I have to drive up that bumpy road for the next
[2:38:05]
year?
[2:38:05]
Well, he's in the spring.
[2:38:06]
Oh my gosh.
[2:38:10]
It's only that short piece.
[2:38:12]
I think they're grinding though.
[2:38:13]
I did say from the, from the dam all the way up to Crestview
[2:38:17]
I think, and that's this year, and then they're gonna continue next year, which
[2:38:20]
will take it up to, so you might be all right then.
[2:38:22]
Great.
[2:38:23]
and I just read that the bridge isn't gonna be redone until right
[2:38:28]
2032 or something.
[2:38:30]
It's way.
[2:38:31]
That's way off.
[2:38:33]
and that's a moving target as well.
[2:38:34]
Yeah, that's a moving target.
[2:38:36]
As well main target.
[2:38:36]
Yeah.
[2:38:36]
Oh, well,
[2:38:39]
Just what it is.
[2:38:43]
Okay.
[2:38:44]
I think about a point where we.
[2:38:47]
Need to continue this case.
[2:38:50]
Your honor.
[2:38:52]
Do we know where something continue to, to ask more or to what date
[2:38:57]
To
[2:38:58]
that you probably wanna talk to the applicant first couple things.
[2:39:01]
May I?
[2:39:01]
Yeah.
[2:39:03]
First you want, it's the, it's been six since, since it's only the second
[2:39:06]
meeting, but it's been, but it's been six.
[2:39:09]
It's been a long time.
[2:39:10]
It's been 60.
[2:39:11]
Three days.
[2:39:11]
So the 65 day statutory clock is up in two days.
[2:39:14]
So you need to ask the, you know, applicant to agree to an extension
[2:39:18]
which I believe the.
[2:39:19]
You know, they got plenty to respond to here, so, but I I'll leave
[2:39:22]
that to them.
[2:39:23]
Okay.
[2:39:23]
And I think you make sure you get that on the record, agreeing to
[2:39:26]
that.
[2:39:27]
And then.
[2:39:28]
When would you be
[2:39:30]
when you'd be able to turn around and get us plans?
[2:39:33]
Plans, you know, cuz the next, for example, the next meeting is September 10th, but
[2:39:37]
we need we'd need.
[2:39:39]
Response to all this stuff by September 3rd.
[2:39:41]
I mean, can you do that?
[2:39:42]
And so by next Wednesday,
[2:39:45]
That's what I'm asking or, or are you table it till September 24th?
[2:39:45]
yeah.
[2:39:48]
Yeah, that was the 24th.
[2:39:51]
Yeah.
[2:39:52]
September 20.
[2:39:52]
And do you okay with a, an extension to the 65 day statutory,
[2:39:59]
give us an extension.
[2:40:00]
Absolutely.
[2:40:01]
Thank you.
[2:40:02]
Okay.
[2:40:04]
So back show
[2:40:06]
there.
[2:40:09]
Okay.
[2:40:10]
Do you want, is he looking for a motion?
[2:40:12]
I couldn't hear.
[2:40:12]
Can't tell.
[2:40:13]
I, I, I know, I'm sorry.
[2:40:14]
I couldn't hear.
[2:40:15]

Have a good holiday weekend.
[2:41:17]
Don't forget to vote.
[2:41:19]
Oh, yeah.
[2:41:19]
Voting day adapted.
[2:41:21]
Okay.
[2:41:21]
Master plan discussion.
[2:41:23]
Is there anything to discuss about master plan?
[2:41:27]
Nope.
[2:41:27]
Okay.
[2:41:28]
Land use and regulation on just on that beat.
[2:41:31]
Do we wanna schedule another meeting?
[2:41:33]
Our next meeting?
[2:41:34]
I thought you said.
[2:41:36]
They're going to start being on the planning board meeting day.
[2:41:40]
I, I, that's what I proposed that we would do that.
[2:41:42]
I just.
[2:41:43]
Are we all good with that?
[2:41:45]
I mean, I'll, I thought everyone was, yeah.
[2:41:47]
Okay.
[2:41:47]
Well, we haven't sent any invitations out or anything, so I'll, I'll follow over
[2:41:50]
here.
[2:41:51]
With you.Okay.
[2:41:51]
Now follow up with Don.
[2:41:52]
Yep.
[2:41:53]
Okay.
[2:41:53]
Call a meeting.
[2:41:54]
Okay.
[2:41:55]
And hopefully we get
[2:41:58]
a quorum.
[2:41:59]
Yeah.
[2:41:59]
Okay.
[2:42:00]
That's a good segue to the quorum point.
[2:42:03]
Is there an avenue?
[2:42:06]
To expand that have alternates so that corn be met more regularly.
[2:42:10]
I mean, is there an well.
[2:42:13]
I don't suggest committees are a quorum of the planning board, cuz then you're
[2:42:16]
not a committee anymore.
[2:42:17]
You're the planning board.
[2:42:18]
Well, I get it.
[2:42:19]
So as a, as a group of seven,
[2:42:21]
a quorum is four.
[2:42:23]
So you want your committees usually less than a quorum?
[2:42:27]
Not saying you can't do it, but usually it's like, then, then it's a
[2:42:30]
planning board meeting.
[2:42:30]
Yeah.
[2:42:31]
So I guess I would.
[2:42:32]
Meant more of like having, cause it seems like all alternates you mean?
[2:42:34]
Yeah.
[2:42:34]
Yeah.
[2:42:35]
Alternates.
[2:42:35]
It seems like the MPO C meetings.
[2:42:37]
Meetings come and go because of availability.
[2:42:39]
So if there's an alternate that could be on that.
[2:42:42]
I'm not sure what the.
[2:42:44]
Method for that to happen would be, well, it would be an adjustment to
[2:42:48]
the
[2:42:49]
rules of procedure, cuz that's where.
[2:42:52]
Your
[2:42:53]
right, right.
[2:42:54]
Yeah.
[2:42:54]
That's where it lives.
[2:42:55]
That's where you created the N POC mm-hmm and that's where it lays
[2:42:58]
forth.
[2:42:58]
That there's three members and.
[2:43:00]
No alternates are identified.
[2:43:02]
So you'd probably want to just, you could change that and add one and
[2:43:07]
I don't know, chair Mr. Chair, or if anyone knows the, the process for
[2:43:10]
that, is that something that happens at a meeting tonight right here?
[2:43:13]
Oh no, you, you gotta notice.
[2:43:15]
It.
[2:43:15]
Okay.
[2:43:16]
You, you, you you'd say what you want and I, I could.
[2:43:19]
Prepare like, you know, we'd have a dis let's have a discussion and maybe
[2:43:23]
the next meeting, I'll just throw it on the agenda and you can discuss
[2:43:26]
it.
[2:43:27]
Okay.And I'll be ready.
[2:43:27]
Yeah, that sounds great if that's yeah.
[2:43:29]
So just to be clear, it's
[2:43:31]
to, to discuss the next meeting.
[2:43:34]
Adding alternates to the M P C.
[2:43:37]
Adding NAL adding NAL the N POC.
[2:43:39]
I dunno how many.
[2:43:40]
Yeah, but then the tricky part with that is I, I didn't notice
[2:43:44]
I'm thinking about it now.
[2:43:45]
Cuz that just, you know, that first I heard that.
[2:43:47]
Yeah.
[2:43:47]
Well, if the alternate shows an all three member shows, then it's a planning
[2:43:50]
board meeting.
[2:43:50]
Mm-hmm so one person couldn't, I.
[2:43:53]
Mean the alternate could step out or just, yeah, just not be part of
[2:43:56]
the board.
[2:43:57]
I, I just worry about that.
[2:43:58]
Cuz then it's a planning, you know, like then the, then you have a
[2:44:01]
quorum that you.
[2:44:02]
Know you can, so it is just, you just avoid subcommittees having a quorum
[2:44:06]
of the main board.
[2:44:07]
I think we can consult.
[2:44:07]
I think that can be solved for.
[2:44:10]
I think it'd be worthwhile getting M POC.
[2:44:13]
Having a little more regularity in that meeting if the
[2:44:16]
bill having, having more regularity in that meeting, if an alternate.
[2:44:18]
Yeah.
[2:44:18]
I mean, they, in all fairness, they, they, they met regularly.
[2:44:21]
For a very long time and you know, and it, oh yes.
[2:44:24]
You know, so, and sometimes so I, I don't think, I think it's fairly
[2:44:27]
new that, you know, and it was the.
[2:44:30]
Summer.
[2:44:30]
Yeah.
[2:44:30]
And it's been the summer and, and so forth.
[2:44:32]
And there hasn't been a lot of business, you know, with, with them.
[2:44:36]
So, and also just thinking ahead too, to like,
[2:44:38]
future master plans and just making sure that that committee can work as well
[2:44:40]
as it can.
[2:44:41]
Well, future master plans is a different, different, whole different issue.
[2:44:44]
That's a master plan steering committee.
[2:44:46]
That's not the master plan oversight committee.
[2:44:48]
Oh, I know, but I'm saying that's okay.
[2:44:49]
Presuming the master plan oversight committee continues in the future.
[2:44:51]
If that's structured in a way to give it success by having.
[2:44:55]
Appropriate.
[2:44:57]
People on it, appropriate number of people on it.
[2:45:00]
Yeah.
[2:45:00]
I mean, I, I, you know, I mean, I'm not trying to, you know
[2:45:03]
argue like, but I think we've been very successful at the master plan.
[2:45:06]
The 2018 master plan was great.
[2:45:08]
We we're actually doing it again because we've either completed or.
[2:45:12]
Working on every, every task in there.
[2:45:15]
I don't know what other town ever did that.
[2:45:16]
So I, well, I, you know, I agree where you go and I, you
[2:45:19]
know yeah.
[2:45:20]
But.
[2:45:20]
Said, I, I think that was very successful, so, and we will continue to
[2:45:24]
be, yeah, we can talk about that next one.
[2:45:25]
Yeah.
[2:45:26]
Can I ask for a question though?
[2:45:28]
I just, now I'm confused.
[2:45:29]
Are we looking to add.
[2:45:31]
An alternate that we already have.
[2:45:34]
No that they, they ask.
[2:45:35]
And I gotta look into this cause I don't recommend subcommittees having quorums of
[2:45:41]
boards.
[2:45:41]
That's just.
[2:45:42]
No, I get it just so I'm trying to understand where the extra alternate
[2:45:45]
or the alternate he was asking alternate to the M P C.
[2:45:49]
So a three member, M POC, still three members, but an alternate to fill
[2:45:54]
in when a regular, one of the three regular members can't attend.
[2:45:58]
I got that part.
[2:45:59]
I just didn't know where the alternate was coming from.
[2:46:01]
So it's separately planning, planning, I would imagine.
[2:46:03]
Well, that's what I'm trying to clarify it.
[2:46:05]
Would've to Sam.
[2:46:06]
Could sorry, Sam, I'm not volunteering you, but I'm using you as a example
[2:46:12]
If Sam wanted to fill that, it would be somebody.
[2:46:15]
Already on the planning board.
[2:46:16]
Oh yes.
[2:46:17]
I forgot to say that's a great point.
[2:46:19]
Okay.
[2:46:19]
But I was just going, I do my report, the next slide board meeting
[2:46:22]
and committees.
[2:46:22]
Don't wanna get it.
[2:46:23]
Straight the subcommittees are of the, from the board.
[2:46:27]
Yeah, I here, I just wanna make sure we're all on the same table
[2:46:29]
Yeah.
[2:46:29]
You can't get a outside resident to.
[2:46:32]
Act as an all.
[2:46:32]
Thank you.
[2:46:33]
But if you have to be, that's not what you were saying, but if
[2:46:35]
you, no, I went to three people intendance just wanna make sure.
[2:46:38]
And let's assume I'm the.
[2:46:40]
Alternate.
[2:46:41]
So Aaron calls me one month and says,
[2:46:44]
gee, I've got an appointment.
[2:46:45]
Can you.
[2:46:46]
Be the alternate.
[2:46:47]
Can you fill in for me?
[2:46:48]
Yeah.
[2:46:50]
The first thing I'm gonna say is, okay guys, what'd I miss.
[2:46:53]
Right.
[2:46:53]
I mean, why effective is that?
[2:46:56]
Because I can't,
[2:46:58]
I won't be up to speed.
[2:46:58]
No continuity.
[2:46:59]
Yes, no continuity.
[2:47:00]
They're not televised.
[2:47:02]
They're not recorded.
[2:47:03]
No. Okay.
[2:47:05]
So only meeting
[2:47:06]
medicine's so big that you can't you're right.
[2:47:08]
Well, you know what?
[2:47:09]
We've got.
[2:47:10]
Until the next meeting to figure out the logistics.
[2:47:13]
Okay.
[2:47:13]
Yeah, that's put it on.
[2:47:15]
We'll put it on the agenda.
[2:47:16]
We'll we'll have a discussion about it.
[2:47:19]
Okay.
[2:47:19]
If there's, and I'll research it a little bit this way, just to see
[2:47:22]
Yes, but that's a really good point, Sam.
[2:47:26]
But we'll figure out how to, how to make that work out better.
[2:47:30]
Okay.
[2:47:31]
Okay.
[2:47:32]
Any field modifications?
[2:47:34]
None requested none requested.
[2:47:37]
No bond letter, letter, significant reductions of releases.
[2:47:41]
None requested.
[2:47:42]
Okay.
[2:47:44]
I'm looking for a motion to.
[2:47:47]

[2:47:50]

[2:47:50]
