1.
At this point in the meeting, the Board noted that they wanted to make

The
Board noted that this would be the third meeting for Zabadee Development to be
coming to the Planning Board and if they were here, they would be seeking final
approval but were instead asking for an extension.
Lee
Richmond asked what kind of input might he be able to have for the
development.
The
Board stated they would be looking for technical comments.
Mr.
Richmond stated that the land drops down into the wetlands.
J.
Marcou stated the Board would be looking for adverse impact on to the abutter’s
property by this subdivision. Is it
going to adversely affect your property?
Kenneth Swayze noted the Board had expressed concern about

A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously that the Dunbarton Planning Board request the Dunbarton Selectmen for a 90 day extension for the Rocko Dipetro (Michel Belanger) proposed Lot Line Adjustment and subsequent proposed 22 lot subdivision off Stark Lane in the Medium Density District in Dunbarton, NH.
1. The Dunbarton Planning Board noted there was
a petition signed by numerous Dunbarton residents stating there was an
impropriety in the manner in which the Town Forest Committee negotiated the
easement on
Kenneth
Swayze reported that he had done legal research and contacted two attorneys
regarding the authority of the Town Forest Committee and both attorneys had
established that this was ordinary practice.
Done very often and sometimes for no money.
The
Dunbarton Planning Board stated they would like a copy of the
2.
Planning Board
indicated they had a concern regarding the permanent turn around at the first
culdasac.
3.
The applicants indicated
they had submitted test pit logs.
4.
Site Walk –
Will try to schedule before the next meeting, weather permitting.
5.
Applicant will
be asking for a waiver for the road of over 8% grade.
6.
Planning Board
received a three page letter from Don Mayo.
(attached) Mr. Rook has a copy of
letter.
7.
Planning Board
indicated they needed more money to cover Don Mayo’s review work on the
preliminary road design. If the lots
change, will be revisiting road changes.
8.
Monumentation
needs to be put on the plan.
9.
Total aggregate
frontage of each lot needs to be put on the plan.
10. Driveway locations need to be shown on the plan
along with drainage designs for any driveway culverts.
Charles Graybill,
Selectman, stated he was extremely concerned about spending a lot of time until
two documents were in place: the Town
Forest Committee Easement and the DOT Driveway Permit. Both these documents should be included on
the final plan. Based on the fact that
both documents are now in place, I would say go ahead.
At this point in the
public hearing, Mr. Rook produced a copy of the DOT driveway permit. (attached)
James Marcou stated the
Board was in a holding pattern on this until the legal work was down on
Jacques Belanger,
Surveyor, noted the interim project remains the same. The mitigation area does not show on the plan
yet. There is a major impact at the
entrance with another one off on the spur road.
Issue with slopes. Will apply for
a Waiver for the 10% grade.
-
Have been in
contact with the SPNHF regarding trail system through their property. They would be willing to talk about trails.
-
All lots meet the minimum requirements.
-
There are two culdasacs both exceed 600 feet
long. One with a hammer head turn around
near Barnard Hill Board. There is
approximately 3100 feet of road.
-
Building
permits for Project will be phased. 8
lots first year, 8 second year and the balance the third year.
Board expressed concern
about the radius and grade of the turn around at the culdasac.
Board had discussed
regarding the grade of the culdasac.
Several members noted that we had certain requirements and the Board
should adhere to them i.e. the 8% grade.
It was noted that Don Mayo, Town Engineer, wants to see less than a 3%
rise in the circle. The top of the
culdasac needs to be flat.
Mr. Rook, Engineer,
stated that if the grade of the road is changed to 8%, it will mean that the
turn around will be lower than the surrounding arc thus causing problems with
the driveways. The driveways will be
much higher than the road, etc.
Chairman stated that the
Planning Board should decide now whether or not they would allow the 10% grade
on the road.
Discussion by the Board
both pro and con regarding the granting of the waiver for the 10% grade.
MOTION:
George Holt made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board deny the request for a waiver for a 10% grade on the road and that as a matter of consistency we follow our regulations now and in the future. Charles Graybill seconded the motion. The motion passed by a majority with Kenneth Swayze voting in the negative. All other votes were in the affirmative.
At this point, Mr. Rook
presented new plans of the road, etc.
The Board noted they should not be looking at new plans this
evening. The applicant needs to adhere
to the policy of submittal of plans 15 days prior to the meeting.
The Board also noted
they would need to see the Wetlands application prior to any conditional
approval being granted.
Charles Graybill – Asked
when the Town Forest Committee met with them, is there going to be anything
done to increase culvert size for increased flowage onto
James Marcou asked if
someone from the Town Forest Committee will look at this as to what the impact
to the
Brian Nordle noted the Board should address whether or nor the project will have a Regional Impact. The Board agreed amongst themselves that it would not have a Regional Impact but this will be addressed again.
Abutters were read as
follows and noted all had been notified by certified mail:
William Baril – Present,
asked if the three acres was supposed to take some of the tension off. The wetlands mitigation area is compensating
for the wetlands impact since it is over 10,000 square feet The land set aside is to always be
undeveloped land.
The Board noted they
would have to have a deed restriction.
Baril stated he still
had concern about the water backing up on to his property.
Mr. Rook, Engineer,
presented two sketches showing the impact of the runoff onto the Baril
property. He stated they were actually
lessening the impact because the water from the orange area above the Baril
property would be draining through designated drainage, etc.
Baril stated there would
be five house lots draining onto his property.
Rook – Stated there
would be six acres less draining onto the property because of the diversion of
wetlands, etc. There is ¼ mile of road
and six houses should make up for that area.
Baril – Will have less
flow than I do have now? Last time you
said there would be 1.3 more onto my property at that time.
Rook – We listened to
your concerns and because of this, there are six acres less draining onto your
property.
George Holt – How much
per lot are you considering coming out of the forested area.
Rook – Stated they have
done specific analysis where it would leave the property. Will be about 7 ½ acres diverted. Based on 50 year storm. Have to go to Wetlands and for Site Specific. DOT has reviewed for the curb cut. Goes through four check points, DOT, DES,
Wetlands and Don Mayo, Town Engineer.
Baril – 1.3% is changed
to what? The runoff is 20% less than
previous. Hoped for a set of
calculations. (Mr. Rook gave Mr. Baril a
set of calculations.)

Belanger developed
Charles Graybill,
Selectmen – Stated that
Kenneth Swayze indicated
the Board does not have the right to hold up this developer because of
Jacques Belanger,
Surveyor, stated that his father was not doing the development on this
parcel. He is selling it to another
developer, Dipetro. This is too large a
scale for his father to develop.
Kenneth Swayze indicated
that now the Board has road bonding, engineering consultants, etc. whereas
before we did not have these in place.
Rook – Indicated we are
lowering the wetlands. There are larger
pipes and we are keeping the water level where it is now. We will be putting in a concrete box, etc. None of the flow from this development will
get to the Allen’s property.
David Allen – Asked how
many trees were they going to be taking down.
It was indicated the
parcel had already been heavily cut over in the past. There is no reason to clear cut. This would increase the runoff. By clear cutting would cause more
runoff.
David Allen asked if
abutters would be allowed to go on the site walk.
James Marcou indicated
probably not because of liability issues.
Orvis/Doris Cunningham –

– Present
W. G. Howard and
Associates – It was noted for the record that the Engineer was Robert Rook and
not W. G. Howard Associates. Mr. Rook
was present.
Other Members of the
Public:
Fred Mullen – Asked if
there was a written agreement between the Town Forest Committee and the
applicant and whether any money had changed hands yet.
It was indicated that
nothing would take place until such time as the project received final
approval.
Fred Mullen – Asked if
there would be an increase in flow to the
Kenneth Swayze –
Indicated this would be a Civil Matter.
Can take the developer to court or the landowners.
Fred Mullen – Asked if
this was something we could establish at this time.
It was indicated the
flow was going to be the same in gallons, just will be more steady.
George Holt – When they
do their plan, they should develop some plan to prevent any further runoff on
to the Town Forest Lands.
James Marcou indicated
that the Corps of Engineers has control of any water that runs into Corp
property.
K. Swayze noted he
doubted if the authority of the Corps reached the threshold of this review.
Conservation Commission
will be our watch dog for the
Fred Mullen – Stated he
was a member of the Fire Department.
With a 10% slope, fire trucks will have difficulty getting up
there.
Mr. Rook – Stated that
the Planning Board has already determined that the slope will be no greater
than 8% maximum.
Margaret Watkins – Would
it be possible to get a copy of a written opinion from the Town Legal Counsel
regarding the authority of the Town Forest Committee as to their actions,
etc. Would like our Town Counsel to do
this.
Kenneth Swayze – Stated
he did talk with Town Counsel and another attorney. It is conceivable that they can create ATV
trails. Town Property could have horse
trails, boy scout camps, etc. Have gone
to two sources. Ended up with the
Municipal Attorney. It is common
practice to give up easements. Do have
the right to go to extremes on Town Property.
James Marcou – We had
some thought of Planning Board challenging the Town Forest Committee’s action. That is why we looked into it, to protect
the Planning Board’s decision.
Margaret Watkins – Would
like to see a written opinion. Got to
come from the Selectmen.
Would like Town Counsel
to review the Winslow Deed. That land
was given to the
Board noted the Town
Forest Committee is similar to the Conservation Commission. At this point, Margaret Watkins stated the
Conservation Commission has to hold a public hearing. I am asking you, the Planning Board, if you
are comfortable with this.
Kenneth Swayze – Stated
the Board tried to get diversified opinions.
They have the right to cut the timber on that property and receive the
revenue. Public opinion may be against
it but they have the right.
James Marcou stated this
was out of the realm of the Planning Board.
They have the right to make the deal and to do what they want with the
money. This could become a Civil matter.
At this point in the discussion, Charles Graybill
indicated the Selectmen will seek Town Counsel to give us a legal opinion on
this matter. He stated the
Margaret Watkins asked
if there would be a permanent easement for the trails. If we want a trail easement on this property,
we should get it now.
George Holt – Asked if
it could be part of the mitigation area.
Not going to happen if it doesn’t happen now.
Ron Slocum, Tenney Hill
Road. How large an area are we talking
about re the easement on Town Forest land.
J. Belanger – Stated
about .7 of an acre. The agreement is
for sight-line purposes. 850 feet of
road improvements. The road bed stays
within the stone walls. Still is the
property of the Town Forest.
Ron Slocum asked who was
responsible for the clearing of the trees, etc.
Agree with Margaret re question whether land under the Town Forest
Committee can be handled in this manner.
Answer – State of New
Hampshire, DOT will be having the trees removed in the future when the
regrow.
At this point in the
public hearing, the public comment was closed.
Items on the checklist
for the next meeting were as follows:
1.
In-house fire
protection. (Jon Wiggin, Fire Chief,
will let the Board know of any special needs of the Fire Department.

Phasing: Building permits: Road Construction (if phased)
3.
Bonding
4.
Escrow account

Other Business:
At this point in the
meeting, Charles Graybill expressed his pleasure at being able to serve as the
Selectmen’s Representative on the Planning Board for the last three years. He stated Steve Kennedy will be the
Selectmen’s Representative for the next year.
Site Plan Review:
ROBERT PERRY PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY CONSISTING OF FOUR BUILDINGS OF FOUR UNITS EACH AT HIS PROPERTY LOCATED ON MORSE ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON
Kenneth Swayze stated
that he had reviewed the application and noted that it appeared to be
comprehensive and complete. Stated they
had presented a landscaping design, and septic system designs and architectural
rendering of buildings. Board will be
addressing parking, trash removal, lighting, snow removal, fire suppression,
etc. This will be an elderly housing
project. It will consist of four
buildings for a total of 16 dwelling units.
The total acreage of the parcel is 52 acres.
Kenneth Swayze noted
that this lot was a non-conforming grandfathered lot with a 50 foot access
road. Because of this, the applicants
would be required to build a road to Town Standards to create frontage to
qualify for the four buildings. It was
noted that this had been cleared with Town Counsel that this was a buildable
lot in this manner.
MOTION:
Kenneth Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board accept the application of Robert and Dorothy Perry for a four buildings of four units each (multi-family housing -elderly) at their property on Morse Road in the Low Density District in Dunbarton, NH. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Robert Perry, II and
Dorothy Perry appeared before the Board along with a representative from W. G.
Howard and Associates. They presented a
plan showing the proposed four buildings and how they were located on the
property.
Trevor Town, W. G.
Howard and Associates, presented a plan showing the proposed layout of the
buildings in relation to the lot.
The Board noted that the
access road would have to be completed to Town Standards the entire length, not
just the portion to the lot because there is not sufficient frontage on Morse
Road to qualify for frontage, etc. Will
be a Town Maintained Road including the culdasac. This road will create frontage for the
buildings.
It was noted that Unitel
has been contacted regarding utilities.
They will be getting back to the applicant in the near future.
Kenneth Swayze – Noted
the road bed will be deeded to the Town.
Trevor Town – Stated
they will be submitting a NH Site Specific.
There are no Wetlands Impact from any of the development. There will be two septic systems. The State requires an alternative area in
case of septic failure.
There will be a
Community Water Supply supplied by two wells.
(They have provided larger well radius than normally required.)
With regard to lighting,
road on the way into the development will be lighted. Will be an exclusive road to this
development.
Development will be for
adults 55 and older.
Brian Nordle asked about
a buffer zone.
R. Perry indicated there
would be garages behind the units.
Plowing behind the units would be responsibility of the owners, not the
town.
Board indicated they would
have to provide for ambulatory parking spaces along with handicapped parking
spaces. Need to show on-street parking
also. Need to have shoulder room.
R. Perry indicated the
buildings would be colonial in style with vinyl siding. Buildings will be offset by 8’ – 10’, with an
arch over windows, etc. Have received an
estimate of $50,000 for landscaping.
It was noted the
Selectmen and the Road Agent have already had a site walk. The entrance road ties into Morse Road. Requested that the driveway be moved
over. Mr. Perry will take down a number
of trees along Morse Road on the Racca property to increase the line of sight.
(Mr. Racca has agreed to this). This
has already been flagged out. Don Mayo,
Town Engineer, has also been out there.
The Board indicated the
Perry’s should set up a retainer account for Don Mayo’s fees.
R. Perry indicated trash
pickup will be private. .
Jon Wiggin, Fire Chief –
Stated the Fire Department concerns would be width of the access road and the
turning radius of the culdasac for emergency vehicles. It is a fact of life that Senior Developments
put more stress on Fire Departments.
Interested in the size of the buildings, square footage, distance
apart. The safety side of this
development needs to be looked at.
Generally speaking, an apartment building this size would not require
sprinkler system.
The Board indicated that
public safety is a most important issue.
Jon Wiggin – Stated that
a sprinkler system for this building will be much bigger than for a residential
system.
It was indicated the
Board will be seeking input from the Police Department.
George Holt – Are there
plans for handicapped access?
R. Perry noted there
will be a 8’ x 10’ deck depending on each individual and would be a private
concern. Will meet ADA
requirements. No common area. Will be four buildings with open space. Will be sold units.
Abutters were read as
follows and noted that all had been notified by certified mail:
Josephine Dailey – Not
Present
Paul Belyear – Not
Present
David/Justyn Constant –
Present. Stated that this lot is in
non-compliance until the Town is deeded the road. What kind of impact on our road will this
development have. This is such a small
road. More than doubling the residents
on the road. This is changing the
whole feeling of Morse Road. There are
considerable amount of wetlands around the whole area. I just hope things are addressed. I don’t like the feeling about this. We bought our house because of its location,
and we don’t want it to change at this kind of rate. They will be condos. Is this something Dunbarton approves of or
are they just going to be turned into apartments. What about traffic and water draw. This is a small road and we just gouged out
100 acres. It is changed. That is my concern. Doubling the impact on that road. This is supposedly Low Density District.
The Board pointed out
that Low Density means five acre zoning.
The Board also indicated the Town Engineer will look at the project in
relation to the road.
Rudolph/Elizabeth
Vallauri – Present. Asked how close the
buildings will be to his property line.
There is an impact of 16 dwelling units.
There will be water problems.
What are 16 more houses going to do to the ground water. Seems like a lot of water to him. The corner has bad visibility. Are these units going to be like the ones
across the street.
Robert Perry – Stated
they were going to be two story, large colonial style.
George Holt – Indicated
this would be contingent on getting a permit for a Community Water Well from
the State. There will be an assessment
of offsite impact. Are there wells
within 200 feet of the property line?
Trevor Town stated the
buildings would be 150’ from the Vallauri property line.
Daniel/Kathleen
Labonville – Present. Stated the
driveway to the project is directly pointed to his window. Runoff comes into my property. Part of the reason I moved here was because I
liked Dunbarton’s five acre lot minimum and this is going to ruin it all for
me.
Robert/Denise Perry, II
– Present. (applicant)
Nathan J. Narus –
Present. No comment.
Richard/Catherine Raccca
– Present. Asked about this entrance
road going through his property. Whose
liability is it if someone gets hurt when they are cutting the trees on his
property to improve the line of sight.
It was noted that
contractors will have to provide a certificate of insurance. Will be removing stone walls. There will be bonding for the road. Once the road is turned over to the Town, it
is the Town’s responsibility.
David Wheeler –
Present. No comments.
David/Theresa Glannon –
Not Present
Michael Petito – Not
Present
W. G. Howard and
Associates – Present. (Trevor Town)
Comments from members of the public:
Ron Slocum – Stated that
the Chairman indicated at the beginning of this application, that this
application will be treated as a “Commercial Venture”. How does this relate to the Table of Uses
shown within the Zoning Ordinance.
The Chairman indicated
this was actually a Commercial venture with a residential flavor. It would fall under the section of
Residential Housing within the Table of Uses.
Daniel Labonville –
Asked about the project being stated as being “elderly”. Does this mean they will disallow children,
etc. so there will be no impact on our schools.
The Board indicated
because there will be no school impact, it will benefit the community. Paperwork is intended to be submitted to the
Federal Government, etc. by the applicant.
Margaret Watkins – Asked
if it would be possible to reduce the width of the road even though it will be
a Town street.
Charles Graybill,
Selectmen – Stated he would say “No, because of the need for fire equipment,
emergency vehicles, etc. to be able to access the buildings. We need to maintain Town Standards for the
road”.
Chuck Frost – Asked if
300 feet of frontage was being created within the 50 foot right of way.
The Board stated that
the frontage was being created from Morse Road to the buildings. (Over 1,700
feet long for a total of 3,000 feet of frontage. The Town will accept the entire road.
There being no further
public comment, the public hearing was closed.
NH TRADITIONAL HOMES (MICHAEL POIRIER) TWO PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEXES CONSISTING OF FOUR SEPARATE STRUCTURES JOINED BY A WALL AND THREE SEPARATE STRUCTURES JOINED BY A WALL AT HIS PROPERTY ON GUINEA ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH
At this point in the
meeting, Michel Poirier, Alternate, stepped down from the Board.
In addition, Kenneth
Swayze stepped down from the Board because he was an abutter to the project.
MOTION:
George Holt made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board not accept the application from NH Traditiional Homes (Michael Poirier) and refer it to the Dunbarton Zoning Board for an interpretation.
Alison Vallieres seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Alison Vallieres and
George Holt reviewed this application.
At this point in the
meeting, Alison Vallieres stated she had expressed concern at the previous meeting
regarding the interpretation of the Multi-Family Dwelling definition as it
related to this particular application.
She had contacted Town Counsel and Town Counsel indicated he felt the
application “did not meet the spirit of the Ordinance, and that the application
should be sent to the Dunbarton Zoning Board for an interpretation as to
whether the application met the
definition of Multi-Family housing”.
George Holt agreed with
the above.
Based on the above, the
Dunbarton Planning Board agreed to request the Dunbarton Zoning Board of
Adjustment for a ruling on the application.
Mr. Poirier will appear before the Zoning Board at their April meeting.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Kenneth Swayze and
Michael Poirier stepped back on the Board.

Kenneth Swayze stated a
communication had been received from Steven Cohen regarding the Lussier
Subdivison on Long Pond Road. The
Building Inspector will be investigating the problem, as to conditions not
being met.
Pages Corner Convenience Store – Site Plan Review:
At this point in the
meeting, James Marcou stepped down from the Board because of a conflict of
interest.
Kenneth Swayze assumed
the Chair position.
George Holt discussed
his concerns re: construction status of
the Pages Corner Store.
MOTION:
George Holt made a motion that whereas the site plan has exceeded the period of exemption, I move to request that the holder of the Special Exception resubmit their plan for Site Plan Review.
There was no second to the motion, therefore the motion died on the floor.
At this point in the
meeting James Marcou stepped back on the Board.
Master Plan:
Margaret Watkins asked
about the status of the Master Plan. It
was explained that the Town has appropriated the $40,000 and will be seeking
firms to submit bids, etc.
Ron Slocum asked the
Board to explain the difference between a PRD and a regular subdivision. The Board explained the difference to
Ron.
Stillwater Survey Plan:
It was reported that the
Planning Board/Board of Selectmen will not sign the Stillwater Plan until all
“document” matters are completed.
