At this point in the
discussion, Susanne Peace Stich stated in the minutes on Page 11 (November 17,

current use”. She wanted to make sure the
Planning Board understood that the words “in the near future” were added to the
statement. The Planning Board informed
her that her remarks at the meeting were non-binding and there was no need to
add this, etc.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
GPS PROPERTIES, INC. (C4-1-3) PROPOSED TWO LOT SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON BLACK BROOK ROAD, ROUTE 13, POWELL LANE AND OLDE MILL BROOK ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH
Kenneth Swayze
presented a Status Report on the proposed two lot subdivision. (attached)
Mike Dalberg, Surveyor, appeared before the Board on
behalf of his client, GPS Properties. He stated
that as a result of the Site Walk which was conducted on December 4, 2004, they
had advanced the driveway location off
Powell Lane situated to the east and the driveway on Olde Mill Brooke Road was
shifted to the area where the Town plows now and that we could enter without
cutting any major trees. We have
provided for a 30 foot setback on Black Brook Road.
Stated they need to order the field tagging for the
Wetlands Conservation District. It was
noted the flagging of the Wetlands Conservation District will not affect issues at the Planning Board level.
Ken Swayze noted these flagging discs are not
supposed to vanish. Flagging the
Wetlands Conservation District set-back is a required function.
The Planning Board noted the following members
attended the Site Walk: Michael
Poirier, Mert Mann, Selectmen, George Holt, and David Breault.
Michael Poirier reported on the Site Walk. They checked the Wetlands area and driveway
locations and close proximity to Wetlands, and proceeded to Olde Mill
Road. The power lines are right next to
the road. No true designation as to where
the Class V road ends. The Road Agent
did not show up. Mr. Bracey pointed out
where the pole is. Will be running
electricity underground up to the
property. Access to the property will be at the snow plow turnaround area.
Mert Mann, Selectman, stated there was no opinion
from the Town at this time. Have no
problem with the development of one driveway access.
David Breault stated he was concerned about what is
“coming down the road”.
The Board noted they can’t rule on what is happening
in the future at this point. The Board
has asked the applicant, and he is not willing to share that information at
this time.
Abutters were read as follows and it was noted that
all had been notified by certified mail:
Dennis/Tammy Little – Not Present
Barbara Palys – Not Present
Alain/Phyllis Biron – Present. Mrs. Biron stated she would reserve her
comments until after others spoke.
Henry/Joan Burnham – Not Present
Wayne/Mary Bracy – Present. Mr. Bracy submitted information to the Board
regarding issues pertaining to the proposed subdivision. (attached)
Stated that the road is very narrow and two vehicles cannot pass each
other. With the two houses presently on
the road, there is a total of nine vehicles going up and down the road. At this point, it is not a problem but
additional vehicles will become a problem.
Cited the Grossman case vs. the Town of Dunbarton. Stated the perceived frontage is on Black
Brook Road.
Ken Swayze noted that the RSA allowing buildable
lots (and building permits) the street giving access to the lot be a Class V
road or better. And “giving access”
means a street abutting the lot upon which the lot has frontage. Based on engineering, it is accessible. If you had a Dredge and Fill Permit, you
could access it off Black Brook Road.
Mr. Bracy stated that in this case, “rearage”
instead of frontage will be the access for the property.
Kenneth Swayze pointed out that the Board allows
alternative driveways because of steep slopes, wetlands, etc.
James Marcou stated the requirement is to have the
proper amount of frontage on a Town Road and the question is where is the
driveway. The request is to have the
access off Olde Mill Brook Road. It
appears at the Planning Board level, it is doable for one driveway.
Mr. Bracy stated the real concern is there is no
attached plan to this subdivision for the future. There could be up to eight lots coming off Olde Mill Brook
Road.
James Marcou pointed out that the Planning Board is
looking at this as a two lot subdivision with this particular lot as a 40 acre
building lot. This is what we are looking
at right now. If the Board has another
request for another subdivision here, at that point maybe we will talk with
Town Counsel.
Kenneth Swayze stated that it is correct about the
“old” access. The Court has upheld that
the rights of property owners are not necessarily lost because the road has
been discontinued. Where do you draw
the line? When you start to put 8-10
more lots there. He could get a
building permit right now for the entire parcel (including access from Olde
Mill Brook Road.) and not even come to the Planning Board. If this turns into a big subdivision, and
the road doesn’t meet the criteria for higher traffic. I’m sure the Planning Board will rule accordingly.
James Marcou stated we are not talking about putting
in a road. We are talking about a
single family house lot. Need a minimum
of five acres. We are being asked to
approve a building lot off Olde Mill Brook Road into two forty acre lots. Our mission is to discuss one driveway for
one single family residence.
Mrs. Bracy stated that we have been there for a
length of time. Each one in our family
has a vehicle for a total of five vehicles.
The Biron’s have three vehicles that go up and down the road. So now we are going to have another house
which means there will be another 3-5 vehicles going up and down the road. We
are talking about 12-13 vehicles going up and down this road in a few
years. It is a single lane one way
road. When one is going up and the
other is coming down, one of us has to back up. It is only a one lane driveway.
There is no way to pass vehicles on that road. We cannot pass on the Town Road.
At the widest point, it is only 30 feet. There is a 5 mph speed limit.
Mr. Bracy stated that he feels the Town has to
improve the road for safety reasons.
Above our house it is a 14% grade.
Someone is going to get hurt and the Town will be held liable if someone
gets hurt.
Kenneth Swayze pointed out that there are many 20% -
25% driveways all over this Town.
At this point, Phyllis Biron pointed out that Mr.
Bracy was talking about the Town Road not the driveway.
James Marcou asked Mr. Bracy if they have had any
discussions with the Selectmen about making repairs to the road.
He noted they had spoken in the past to Simon Audet
re mud issues etc. and putting gravel, etc.
but his main concern is there will be more vehicles and more traffic if
it is fixed up.
The Chairman noted that the discussion should be
continued with the Selectmen and the Road Agent. Sounds like you have a
legitimate concern about the road as it is now.
Mr. Bracy stated they moved there in 1980. Saw where
the road ended and the Town plowed to.
Hired an attorney to check out road.
He stated to us that it is a discontinued road and the land was returned
to the abutters and on that information, we bought the property. They brought up the case of Grossman vs.
Dunbarton for use of Powell Lane to put a driveway in and it was denied because
it was a discontinued road. What is
reasonable use?
Kenneth Swayze stated that we have lots all over
town that are landlocked and we allow one house and they have access. To grant rights doesn’t mean that they can
do anything they want. We are not talking
about a road.
Mr. Bracy stated that when Gregg (applicant) first
talked about this, he told us he would put in a private driveway and cluster
homes.
David Breault stated we don’t know where the road
ends.
Mert Mann stated Mr. Bracy’s comments are based on
the information you gave the Board. The
Selectmen have not discussed this.
Michael Poirier stated that unless someone proves
different, the Class V road ends at the pole.
David Breault – If they have access to their land
off Black Brook Road, do we have to allow them this?
Ken Swayze noted it has to be a prior Town road that
is discontinued.
Mr. Bracy stated there are safety factors you should
correct before you increase travel on this road.
I don’t
think it is fair to say you are going up and down and there is no problem. The worst time of the year is in the spring
in April because of the mud. I think if
you look at the Soucy’s, they have three young children. The worst offenders are UPS and FedEx. We don’t open our windows in the summer
because of the dust. The dust destroys
us. The real problem is the people want
to put a driveway in and only can assume it will increase traffic.
It was noted by the Board that this Board has a
history of not giving developers much leeway unless they bring roads up to Town
standards. That is 24 feet wide with 4
foot shoulders, etc. They have to go
over this hurdle in the future.
James Marcou stated again that the Board is focusing
on one driveway, for one big lot.
Mr. Bracy asked that Town Counsel address some of
these issues. Think it is Charlie
Bauer. He knows quite a bit about
Powell’s Lane. The Planning Board
stated that it would be up to the Board to contact Town Counsel.
Kenneth Swayze asked Mr. Bracy if he had a problem
with the applicant using the road for one driveway access to the lot.
Mr. Bracy stated, “Yes he did”. He said nothing has been said about what
Gregg wants to do with the property, in the future.
Ronald/Edith Soucy – Present. No questions at this time.
Mary Story Heirs – Not Present
Michael/Christine Soucy – Present. You have to have a driveway off a Class V
road. How can these people put a
driveway off other people’s driveway.
People chose to have an alternative driveway. We are talking about a discontinued road. We all agree that the Class V road ends up
at the telephone pole. No one has
contested that. If we knew it was only
a single family design for a single dwelling, it might be different. We know this is not the case. The driveway should come in off Route
13. Why ruin someone else’s
driveway. I would like to see the
definition of frontage and reasonable use.
Are they allowed to log and run trucks up and down the road?
J. Marcou stated the issue is they are allowed to go
up and enter their property right now.
They don’t need our approval to do that.
Kenneth Swayze stated that the driveway at this
point is for one single family residence.
Michael Poirier stated at this point, if they wanted
to pull a building permit, they could.
James Marcou stated we are dealing with one lot cut
in half with two building permits. They
will have to prove their case and it will be a hard road for any more. We are dealing with only one driveway off
Olde Mill Brook Road, and one off Powell Lane. They have the right not to disclose but we have the right to be
heard.
Robert/Gerald Bourassa – Not Present
Jason/Gail Georgantus – Not Present
Keith Jordan – Not Present
William Schlottman – Not Present
Eleanor Swindlehurst Trust – Not Present
John Swindlehurst Trust – Not Present
Peter/Linda Hecker – Not Present
Richard/Nicolette Hecker – Not Present
Phyllis Biron stated that her comment was that if
another application comes in for another house lot, would you deny it?
Gregg has stated he wants five or 6 houses in there. He said “you know what I intend to do with
that property”.
J. Marcou stated they would have to come back to the
Planning Board with another subdivision and at that time, they will have to
show how they will access the lots. Right now they only have two lots.
Mr. Bracy asked how they would get electrical
service?
The Board indicated this was the owner’s
problem.
At this point, the Chairman closed the Public
Hearing.
Board
Discussion:
James Marcou stated that because he was not there at
the Site Walk, I am trying to envision things in my head. When you come to the telephone pole, the
road stops. Is there a clear path to
put the driveway in? It will be on
someone’s else’s property. Will enter
across Mr. Bracy’s land.
George Holt – This brings up a question re
electrical utility access.
Michael Poirier stated maybe we would like to have
the Road Agent and Selectmen take a peek at this section of road because it is
pretty narrow in some areas. Have
reservations about making a decision on this tonight.
George Holt – Stated he would want to have that
section of the road looked at by the Road Agent and Selectmen. We specifically asked him to be there, and
this is the second time he has not showed up.
Mert Mann – Don’t know about numbers of complaints
we have had. Can’t say that we have
heard any complaints on the road to date.
With regard to the proposed driveway, they have the right to access this
lot.
George Holt stated there is some incremental
increase in use from this proposed subdivision. Some of the cost should be born by the applicant.
Mert Mann stated that the Road Agent needs to see
it.
David Breault stated he still had an issue because
it is going across private property.
Where it is being subdivided, does use continue with future
subdivisions? By allowing this one, we
would have to allow the next one. They have perfectly good access off Black
Brook Road.
Kenneth Swayze noted if there was no other way to
access the property, they could access off Black Brook Road.
James Marcou stated this would be the only access
allowed on Olde Mill Brook Road, as far as he was concerned.
Ken Swayze stated they could come back to the Board
and try to access. They can’t cross
private property with a new road. That
forces the applicant to access off Route 13.
By granting this, it is a shared driveway. That is David Breault’s concern.
David Breault stated his big concern is that we are
granting access another way. They could
still come through that driveway.
Dalberg noted that for the other entrance on
Powell’s Lane, we were asked to move the driveway up. There will be one
entrance off Powell Lane. Road access
is better. It is a Class V road up to
the driveway. They would have to
improve Powell Lane to Class V standards before getting more lots.
MOTION:
Kenneth
Swayze made a motion to approve the proposed subdivision of GPS Properties,
Inc. consisting of a 2-lot subdivision on approximately 93 acres, located in
the Low Density (5ac.) Residential District on Black Brook Road, Powell Lane,
and Olde Mill Brook Road, subject to the following conditions:
7.
That the driveways be shown on the plan.
8.
That a deed (dedication) be prepared for the requested 30 foot set-back
from centerline along the entire frontage of Black Brook Road.
9.
That in-house fire suppression be required for any residence located on
the subdivided lots.
Ken noted that
he would withdraw the motion if anyone make any amendments to it this evening.
George Holt stated he was trying to avoid multiple
private driveways.
Michael Poirier seconded the motion.
Discussion:
George Holt asked about the 30 foot wide strip for
future road improvements off Black Brook Road.
Should it include all Class V roads circling the property. We should be addressing what that driveway
is intended to do. The driveway will
only service one house. He stated if we
have to upgrade the road, it falls on the Town of Dunbarton. There is an existing conditional use
there. If there is a problem on this
road, shouldn’t we have the right to have them pay for improvements, etc.?
The Board noted we are talking about one lot. For one lot we have never made anyone pay
for upgrading the road. Should be
between the Road Agent and the Selectmen.
After discussion, the Board reached a consensus that
the item should be continued until the next meeting in January to give the
applicants a month to work out the situation.
Kenneth Swayze
withdrew his original motion.
MOTION:
Kenneth Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board continue the request from GPS Properties, LLC, proposed two lot subdivision until the regularly scheduled meeting in January 2005, or until the Road Agent and Selectmen can get together to determine what the requirements for road improvements shall be. Mert Mann seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
SUSANNE PEACE STICH (B5-2-2) PROPOSED TWO LOT SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON LONG POND ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH
Kenneth Swayze presented a Status Report on the
Susanne Stich Proposed Subdivision.
(attached) He noted this was the
same as the previous meeting. There
were no new plans submitted since the last meeting. All the requested
information remains outstanding.
K. Swayze stated the Board has asked for a 30 foot
wide roadway dedication for future road improvements. He stated that in addition, the Wetlands Permit is
outstanding. The Board needs to see a
final plan before the Board can approve.
Ms. Stich presented the new plan with comments as
follows:
1.
Apologized for the
delay in getting the plans to the Planning Board. She stated that after the Site Walk on December 4, she gave the
proposed changes to the Surveyor and his printer broke down. She only received copies of the plans today.
2.
Stated they took the
advice of the Board and moved the property line as suggested, to avoid a
driveway easement.
3.
Should a driveway go
in the future, the line of sight should be improved. The stone wall should be taken down and removed. Asked that if the Town took the stone wall
down, that it would be rebuilt insofar as practical. Stated it was a particularly nice stone wall and it should be
moved to the back.
4.
With regard to comment
1. a, the setbacks for the well are 75 feet from the property line, and septic
is 50 feet setback. This will be
clearly marked on the plan.
5.
Town will need a deed
for the 30’ wide easement.
6.
With regard to item 1.
c., did submit a note with the plan from the last meeting re two different
types of soils shown, etc. (It was
noted the Board does not need to discuss this issue at this time.)
7.
With regard to item 1.
d., have shown the survey date on the plan.
8.
Asked about the rumor
that effective January 1, 2005, the Registry will not be accepting any plan
with contours on them. The Board
indicated that Surveyors are also giving the Board plans to record with no
contours on them. The Board still
requires contours on plans submitted to the Board.
9.
With regards to the
Wetlands Permit, it was submitted on November 18, 2004 and the thirty days will
be up on December 18.
The Board noted they need a final plan for public
review at least 15 days prior to the meeting in order to act on the proposed
subdivision. Because of this, the
subdivision cannot be voted on this evening.

RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW APPLICATIONS BY THE DUNBARTON
PLANNING BOARD AND START OF PROCEEDINGS:
EARLE FAMILY REAL ESTATE TRUST AND JACK E. EARLE (D4-1-2 AND D4-1-14) PROPOSED LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT LOCATED ON RANGEWAY ROAD IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH
Kenneth Swayze
presented a Status Report on the proposed Lot Line Adjustment. (attached)
MOTION:
Kenneth Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board accept the application for the Earle Family Real Estate Trust and Jack E. Earle Proposed Lot Line Adjustment as presented and start deliberations this evening. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Discussion:
Jacques Belanger, Surveyor, representing Jack Earle,
presented the plan stating that this was taking two acres off a 7 acres parcel
and adding them to a larger parcel.
There is no increase in number of lots.
Jack Earle stated it was much easier to sell a five
acre lot than a seven acre lot, thus the Lot Line Adjustment.
Jacques Belanger stated the lot is partially on a
Class VI road. Moose Point Drive is to
the side of the lot. We are only
reducing the acreage of one lot and increasing the other.
Abutters were read as follows and noted all had been
notified by certified mail:
Michael/Emily Audesse – Present. Asked Jacques to explain the Lot Line
Adjustment and the reasons. Jacques
explained.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Proposed Zoning
Amendments – Non-Conforming Lot Setbacks
At this point in the meeting, Alison Vallieres
presented a draft copy of Proposed Zoning Amendments for non-conforming lots
throughout the Town. She stated the
Selectmen had contracted with Central New Hampshire Regional Planning
Commission to help develop the amendments.
A committee was appointed by the Selectmen consisting of Alison
Vallieres, Kenneth Swayze, Peter Pacik, Kevin McCarthy, and Cassandra Zorawowicz. The proposed amendments are scheduled for a
Public Hearing by the Dunbarton Planning Board on January 19, 2005 at the
regular monthly meeting.
Master Plan
George Holt presented a proposed zoning amendment
change (attached) plus he stated he
wanted to make a change within the Natural Resources Master Plan Sub-Committee
report. This was in regard to the
Wetlands Conservation District. The
Board stated they felt it was too late for the proposed zoning change but that
at the January 19, 2005 Public Hearing for the Master Plan, minor changes might
be considered.
SITE PLAN REVIEW INFORMAL DISCUSSION; DUNBARTON 88 LLC (COUNTRYSIDE GOLF COURSE) (A3-01-04, A4-01-05, B3-02-01 AND B4-01-11 AND 11t) LOCATED ON ROUTE 13 IN THE LOW DENSITY DISTRICT IN DUNBARTON, NH
Jennifer McCourt, of McCourt Engineering appeared
before the Board to make an informal presentation on behalf of the Dunbarton 88
LLC Group. She stated that Attorney
Richard Uchida was also present to explain to the Planning Board. She stated the project included four separate
parcels for a total acreage of 343 acres.
She presented a plan showing proposed locations of single family units,
duplexes, and four units.
Attorney Richard Uchida stated he was there to
explain the difference between what was originally shown to the Zoning Board
and what is proposed now by the new owner as follows: He presented a copy of the conditions of approval for the
Board’s information. (attached)
1.
He stated he had been
originally involved in the Par Four proposed development years ago, and the Don
Lane Watchhill Proposed Development.
The property is now owned by Robert Pike, Dunbarton 88 LLC.
2.
Stated the Zoning
Board of Adjustment had granted a Special Exception for a Planned Residential
Development without lot lines for 88 units.
3.
This is a development
for 55 years of age and older. The
requirements are that at least one person 55 or older live in 100% of the
units. This is up from the federal
requirements of 80%.
4.
Conservation Easement
is to be granted to the Town for 40 acres, with a parking area that will be
governed by the Town or the Conservation Commission.
5.
Golf course will
remain. Holes will be configured
slightly to allow for the roadway.
6.
New entrance road
between Hole #1 and #2. Existing road
will become an emergency road only.
7.
Will be all
underground utilities.
8.
With regard to the
existing air strip, will provide notice
in our condo documents giving notice that the air strip is there.
9.
The five space parking
area will be located closer to the open space area for the public with certain
restrictions to protect the golf course.
10.
Were granted density
for 88 units. There is 240.5 acres of
developable land. The 88 units would
require 368 acres. The Zoning Board was
generous in granting the 88 units and specified the types of units. There is a maximum of 52 single family, 6
two unit buildings and 6 four unit buildings for a total of 88 units.
11.
The golf course needed
a Special Exception for the existing Club House which was granted. There is a condition not to allow the Club
House to get any higher than 8 feet taller than it is presently.
12.
The Pro Shop, Golf
Course Shop and Service Area will continue.
All other proposed uses were cut out by the developer.
13.
There will be no
street lighting along the roadway, and there will be subdued lighting within in
development.
14.
Granted a variance for
setback for buffer of 100 feet because of proximity to wetlands, etc. along two
areas within the development. There is
zero setback.
15.
The golf course is
considered open space for a PRD as long as the golf course remains open to the
public.
16.
Have developed Condo
Documents but will hold off submitting to Town Attorney until Site Plan Review
process starts.
David
Breault asked who would want to be driving down by that golf course with him
driving balls by the roadway?
Jennifer
McCourt stated that she was working on the engineering of the roadway. There will be some 10% grades but will keep
the impacts to wetlands to a minimum.
1.
She stated there will
be no sidewalks within the development.
2.
There will be 20’ of
pavement with four foot shoulders. On
several of the roads, they will be split with a 12 foot road going each way
with a 4 foot island between the two roads.
The loop road will be wider.
3.
The difference between
the ZBA approved plan and this is from the middle down, we had to change the
plan so we could fit the grading in.
Moved road down to get more of a circular traffic pattern.
4.
Put the four units in
the front with the single units in the back.
It is the same type of architecture as previously proposed. New England Cottage Style.
5.
There will be two
parking spaces per unit plus a two car garage.
6.
The septic system is
proposed at the very bottom of the golf course.
7.
Have already drilled
five wells, will have two monitoring wells.
The only thing that is allowed to go within the 200 foot well radius are
things pertinent to the wells.
8.
Have moved five
parking spaces so they have better access to the open space.
James
Marcou asked if all roads will be private roads.
McCourt
stated yes, they will be private. The
parking area will be built and maintained by the developer with rights to the
Town for police coverage, etc.
George
Holt asked if they have started the Site Specific Application.
No,
will be part of the Design Process.
Will be ready for final submittal for February 2005 Planning Board Meeting.
At
this point, Kenneth Swayze reminded the Board that they had already approved a
Technical Design Review Board (consisting of a member of the Police Department,
Fire Department, Town Engineer, etc.
along with Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission). These services will be paid for by the
applicant. Will need to set up an
Escrow Account as soon as possible.
This will be a running account.
Ken
Swayze stated they will be using Don Mayo, Town Engineer, on this project
because of his familiarity of Dunbarton.
James
Marcou asked if it would be a closed or open drainage system.
McCourt
stated would be a combination of open and closed with trying to keep it open
system going into detention area and then be treated. Not looking to curbing on the roads.
George
Holt asked where the pond was located.
McCourt
pointed it out. She stated there was a
possibility of bringing in a screen and computer with 3-D glasses to view a
model.
James
Marcou stated they need to make sure Fire Trucks and larger trucks can make the
turns.
Robert
Pike, Developer, stated that he would like to set up the Escrow Account as soon
as possible so Jennifer can start the process.
LEE RICHARDS, MASTER PLAN
Stated at the last Master Plan Steering Committee
Meeting, it was brought up that we should be pursuing implementing a Capital
Improvements Plan immediately. Based on
this information, it was noted the Selectmen are already having Central
Regional Planning draft a Warrant Article for $4,800 to cover the cost of
this. The Steering Committee felt they
didn’t want to lose momentum and wanted to make sure the CIP was funded, etc.
NH Traditional Homes:
Michael Poirier stepped down
from the Board.
Jacques Belanger, Surveyor, and Michael Poirier (who
stepped down from the Board) submitted a draft plan of the previously discussed
proposed subdivision on Grapevine Road.
(attached) It was noted they had
taken one lot out thus cutting back the number of lots to six instead of
seven. The plan showed a shared
driveway for Lot 1 and 2. Driveway
locations were shown on Lots 3 and 4.
The Board discussed the possibility of doing a Site
Walk within the next month to assess the access for the two lots in the
rear.
There
being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Alison R. Vallieres, Secretary
