minutes of the previous meeting of Wednesday, May 16,
2001 were accepted with the following corrections: 1.
Page 3, 8th paragraph – George Holt
noted that when he asked Mr. Todd about wetlands on the
property, he only was making reference to the parcel of
interest and not the entire lot.
The statement should read as follows:
“George Holt asked if there were any wetlands
on the property, particularly referring to the
building site, and not the entire parcel.” 2.
Page 3, 4th paragraph – Kenneth
Swayze noted that the discussion regarding road paving
should read as follows:
Replace the second sentence making reference to
paving to read “Paving is not negotiable.” 7:10 p.m. – RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW APPLICATIONS BY THE DUNBARTON PLANNING BOARD AND START OF PROCEEDINGS: PROPOSED
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT AND SUBSEQUENT TWO LOT SUBDIVISION
BETWEEN THOMAS J. GIOVAGNOLI/JAN VANDEBOGART/DAVID
GLANNON LOCATED ON MONTELONA ROAD/TWIST HILL ROAD AND
MORSE ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH Kenneth Swayze reported that he had reviewed the application and it appears to be generally complete. Noted that the Board had some discussion with applicant on various options. MOTION:
Kenneth
Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board
accept the application for a Proposed Lot Line
Adjustment and Subsequent Two Lot Subdivision between
Thomas J. Giovagnoli/Jan VandeBogart/David Glannon
located on Montelona Road/Twist Hill Road and Morse Road
in the Low Density District in Dunbarton, NH and start
of proceedings. George
Holt seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Jacques
Belanger, Surveyor, appeared before the Board on behalf
of the applicants.
This is the former Godbout property.
He presented a plan showing the proposed Line
Adjustment and subsequent subdivision.
The object of the Lot Line Adjustment is to
provide sufficient frontage for Tom Giovagnoli to be
able to subdivide the parcel into two lots.
Frontage will not be contiguous for the second
lot. Frontage
will be on Morse Road (obtained from David Glannon) and
Twist Hill Road.
Total acreage of the new lot will be 7.75 acres.
George
Holt asked how much acreage is within the “strip”.
Jacques stated that Glannon’s portion will be
.66 acres and VandeBogart will be .44.
Jacques stated he had proposed that the
connecting strip be 40’ wide to make sure that the
parcel could not be further subdivided.
Kenneth
Swayze noted that there should be a note on the plan
that this frontage on Morse Road can never be separated
from the original parcel or further subdivided.
Chuck
Graybill asked if Jacques had spoken with the Road Agent
to determine if there is a need for easements, etc. for
future road improvements.
Need to make sure there is sufficient sight
distance on Twist Hill Road.
Jacques will get together with the Road Agent.
The Board noted that they will all look at the
situation together.
Abutters
were read as follows and noted all had been notified by
certified mail: Giovagnoli
Parcel: Karen/Stephen
Elasser – Not Present Wayne/Jane
Chmiel – Not Present Nancy/Robert
LeBlanc – Present, stated the corner on Twist Hill
Road is very dangerous.
That is his concern.

L. Markievitz – Not Present Linda
VanDeBogart – Not Present Daniel/Monique
Roux – Present, concerned about future building on the
back piece behind.
Concerned about the right of way and being able
to put up many houses.
Jacques
Belanger indicated that the strip is only 40’ wide and
this is not wide enough for a road for subdivision
within the Town of Dunbarton.
The driveway for the new lot will be on Twist
Hill Road. Nancy
LeBlanc asked why the driveway could not be on Morse
Road. Joseph
Milano/Linda Aumand – Not Present Wheeler
Family Trust – Not Present Dennis
Baillargeon, 2000 Family Trust – Not Present Joseph
J. Luksza – Not Present Jan
VanDeBogart – Stated he had some concerns because he
intends to build a house down there and asked if the
strip has to be that wide.
Could they make it 15 feet instead of 40 feet.
Stated he was already limited to where he can
locate the septic system and this will further restrict
him because of the setback of 50 feet.
Would like to make the strip none usable to
prevent possible future owners from using it for
snowmobiles, etc. As
it is, he stated he is surrounded by wetlands.
Kenneth
Swayze indicated there should be some reasonable use of
the land. He
also noted if there is some substantial change in the
plans, the Board needs to know two weeks in advance of
the next meeting. The
Board stated it seemed
there are concerns that all parties must work out
amongst themselves to determine particulars of the Lot
Line Adjustment and Subsequent Subdivision prior to the
next meeting.
David
Glannon Abutters: David/Justyn
Constant – Not Present Nathan
J. Narus – Present, stated he would like to know if
there is a standard for a right of way.
Looked at the plan.
Stated he was concerned about the standard for
the right of way. James
Marcou stated there was no standard for a right of way
in Dunbarton at this time.
Kenneth
Swayze indicated this strip was not a right of way.
It is a connecting piece of land and the
landowner has the only rights to use it. Stuart/Marjorie
Readio – Not Present Robert/Dorothy
Perry – Mr. Perry present, stated he lives on Morse
Road. Stated

PROPOSED JAN VANDEBOGART ELEVEN (11) LOT SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON MONTELONA ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH Kenneth Swayze stated that he had reviewed the application and found it to be generally complete. Was sure there will be questions from the Board. He noted that some lots have already been broken off. Noted there were no deeds included with the application. Jan VanDeBogart is the only owner of the property. The Board noted there will be engineering questions. Have received paperwork for the wetlands application. May come under site specific. May require phasing because of the number of proposed lots. The Board noted this is a major undertaking. Will be the first bonded road under the new guidelines. Approximately 3,200 feet of road and there are substantial wetlands on the property. MOTION: Kenneth
Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board
accept the application for the Proposed Jan VandeBogart
Eleven (11) Lot Subdivision located on Montelona Road in
the Low Density District in Dunbarton, NH and start
deliberations this evening.
The motion was seconded by George Holt and passed
unanimously. Jacques Belanger, Surveyor, appeared before the Board on behalf of the applicant. He presented first plan showing the proposed 11 lot subdivision. At this point in the discussion, George Holt stated he was concerned about where the fire pond would go. Jan VanDeBogart indicated he had spoken with the Fire Chief and he did not indicate at this time where he would want a fire pond in the area or whether he would want another fire pond dredged out in return, etc. Jan will coordinate with the Fire Chief. The Board noted that this eleven lot proposed subdivision will have a total impact of 14 lots because of the others previously sold, etc. This proposal is breaking up the remaining property. The road length is 3,200 feet and will be built to Town Specifications from one end to the other. It was noted that wetlands have been mapped by Peter Schauer, Wetlands Scientist. Total lot is 73 acres. Jan will be building his house in the remaining back corner on 20.49 acres. Jacques Belanger, Surveyor, indicated he had built in 15 foot utility slope easements. Town should have the right to make repairs in the future if needed. After discussion, it was decided that the applicant would probably give the Town slope easement rights. The Board noted there
were no culverts shown on the plan at this time. Also there was no
drainage report. Kenneth Swayze indicated there were some engineering deficiencies. Board indicated erosion stone should be used for anything over 5% grade on ditch lines. The Board indicated they will refer to the Town Engineer. There is an 8% grade on the main road coming in to the subdivision. Board indicated they will need a construction and bonding schedule. The applicant indicated he would like to get this approved in one phase. The Board indicated the Fire Pond requirement would have to be done right away. Abutters were read as
follows and noted all had been notified by certified
mail: David/Deborah Reilly – Present, question regarding pond. Have pond on property west of Lot 13. Runoff. Is any of this going to affect this. It was indicated that the applicant has to do construction to assure there is no siltation, etc. Joseph/Dianne Richard – Not Present Baillargeon Family Trust, Dennis Baillargeon – Not Present Nassikas Inc. C/O Mrs. John Nassikas – Not Present Karen/Steven Elasser – Not Present David Glannon – Not Present Thomas Giovagnoli – Present, no comment Linda VandeBogart Not Present Brilaw LLC – Not Present J.

A site walk is scheduled
for Friday, June 29, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. and will meet at
Twist Hill Road. The public hearing was closed. PROPOSED
TOM AND CAROL HOGAN TWO LOT SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON
ROBERT ROGERS ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN
DUNBARTON, NH Kenneth Swayze reported that he had reviewed the application and found it complete. He noted it met the Town requirements for frontage and acreage. MOTION: Kenneth
Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board
accept the application for the Proposed Tom and Carol
Hogan Two Lot Subdivision Located on Robert Rogers Road
in the Low Density District in Dunbarton, NH and begin
deliberations this evening.
The motion was seconded by Greta Brandt and it
passed unanimously.
It was noted that Peter Schauer had mapped the Wetlands six weeks ago. Driveway locations should be discussed with the Road Agent. It was noted that the size of the two proposed lots would be 10.94 acres and 8.67 acres. Abutters were read as follows and noted all had been notified by certified mail: Thomas/Eleanor Watts – Not Present Timothy/Holly Twitchell – Not Present Robert/Pamela Syms – Not Present Helen/Edward Knight – Not Present Jeffrey/Melinda Spill – Not Present James/Jacqueline Michaud – Not Present Robert/Theresa Bradford – Not Present Daniel/Johanne Duchesne – Present, Asked if this subdivision will take away the habitat of the animals. Stated there was a lot of animal life in the area and would hate to see this development take it away. Richard Ewans – Not Present Richard/Colleen Lalumiere – Not Present John Thalheimer – Not Present Peter Schauer – Not Present, (Wetlands Scientist who mapped wetlands) At this point in the meeting, Jan VandeBogart, Road Agent, stated there would be a possibility for a need for an easement to the Town to straighten out the curve and this should be included within the final plan, etc. The site walk will be
done the same time as the VandeBogart site walk, Friday,
June 29, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. There being no further discussion, the public meeting was closed. OTHER BUSINESS: Louis Faustini – Informal Discussion Louis Faustini appeared before the Board to discuss a proposed two lot subdivision he would be proposing in the near future. He stated he had already applied to the Wetlands Board prior to applying to the Planning Board in order to get things in order, etc. He stated that the Wetlands Board upon the recommendation of the Dunbarton Conservation Commission has granted the Wetlands Permits on the basis that there be a “shared driveway” between the two lots. At this point in the
discussion, it was pointed out that the Dunbarton
Planning Board does not condone shared driveways.
They cause many problems including funding for
mortgages, etc. The
Board noted the small amount of wetlands that would be
disturbed for these two driveways was minimal and saw no
readon to have a shared driveway. It was pointed out that the Dunbarton Conservation Commission should work in conjunction with the Planning Board in matters such as this one. Before making a recommendation to the Wetlands Board, they should “touch bases” with the Planning Board. In addition, Louis Faustini pointed out that the underground house has a potential buyer and the driveway extends onto one of the proposed lots. The Board recommended that he change the driveway so it appears on the appropriate land with the underground house. OTHER
BUSINESS: Jacques
Belanger re the Robert Ray/Michel Belanger Lot Line
Adjustment Final Mylar: The Board indicated that Kenneth Swayze would review the plan before signatures were obtained. This is the plan which was lost in the Town Office, etc. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Alison R. Vallieres Secretary |
