Mike Poirier wanted to
be sure that if the Board did not accept the application this evening, that the
applicant would have enough information to revise the application and plans so
they could reapply, and be accepted next time.
Ken Swayze stated that
at the last meeting certain major safety concerns were discussed, such as,
spacing between buildings, width and steep grades of roadway, and number of
parking spaces, etc. The Planning Board, Fire Chief, Town Engineer-Don Mayo,
and Kerrie Diers-CNHRPC all raised these safety concerns in the submitted
material.
Brian Nordle stated that
at the ZBA meetings, even the abutters were in favor of this project. A lot of

as the spacing between buildings and the applicant should address these before
we move on.
