Chairman Johnathan Stevenson opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chairman Stevenson announced that Anthony Rodrigues will be a full voting member for Marie Stevenson and Linda Moore for Chris Jensen.

Chairman Stevenson then read the agenda.

Gardner Kellogg presented his conceptual for a lot line adjustment.  There are issues with the project not meeting the 200-foot setback for frontage for District 2.  Also, the road is private, and the association needs to weigh in on the project.  Mr. Gardner considered putting a hammer head at the entrance to gain frontage.  Johnathan Stevenson suggested to just arc the entrance more.  Mr. Kellogg will proceed with the application for the lot line adjustment after speaking with the association and the landowner. Mike Bruno suggested that Mr. Kellogg try to get a Variance from the ZBA.  He noted that the association should pen a letter in approval of the lot line and subsequently the subdivision.

Closed conceptual

 

 

Agenda item Corey/ Gray revocation of a lot line adjustment. 

Mitchell Associates was contacted by the select board office regarding a land use tax. There is a WARRANTY DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE.  The lot line was never recorded on the deed by the owners before one of the owners passed away. Mitchell Council expressed that it is a very complex application and suggested the planning board reach out to council/Mitchell for guidance. The board decided to table this discussion until there is a request for the revocation.  Mitchell also suggested to add mortgage and or lien on property to the current checklist.  Chris McGrath did not like that idea.
