Discussion:

Mr. Polito explained that there was nothing in our ordinance that allowed the board to give an extension to a Special Exception. In this case the applicant was instructed to complete a new application but Mr. Polito suggested they entertain a motion to accept into the record all discussion and pertinent previously submitted information as well as the boards previous vote with any special conditions. The board would then review the new application to see if there had been any material changes and review the NH Dept. of Environmental Services letter dated 11/30/07 with its conditions.

He suggested that the board begin by reading the minutes from the approval hearing of January 10, 2007 which were included with the new application.

Mary Ann Casey request for Renewal of previously approved Special Exception Permit (granted 1/10/07) as specified in Zoning Ordinance Article VII, Section 700:2 to permit a change in use from Seasonal to Primary Use dwelling located at 36 Stickney Road, Map 23, Lot 32, RR3 Zone.

Abutters present: Mary Ann Casey. Ms. Rochford noted that Island Pond Associates was not notified and should have been.

Mr. Polito read Attorney Campbell’s letter that accompanied the new application, which explained the reason that more time was needed, and justification for the request. The NH Dept. of Environmental Services Waiver Approval with conditions was also reviewed.

Discussion:

It was noted that the DES Waiver stipulated numerous conditions and referred to a number of plans that were not at hand. The board felt it would want to compare KLC’s original Site Plan against the updated Plan, dated 11/2007 submitted to the State. They would also like a copy of the Stormwater Control Plan and Freshwater Farms landscaping plan dated 10/22/07. They would like to compare the two KLC Site Plans and have the other two plans for the record.

Discussion: Mr. Riehl questioned whether it was prudent to give the approval before the board actually compared the plans. Mr. Polito felt confident that he could do the review and believed that he would find the plans materially the same. Ms. Rochford noted that in here opinion the house was too big and she still had the same concerns as noted during the original application.

Ms. Casey explained that the footprint had been decreased and a patio was added. The house location was the same. She presented the board with her copy of the updated KLC Site Plan dated 11/07. The board retrieved the original 11/06 plan from the file and compared them. The following was noted: the footprint had been reduced to 48’x36’; plantings were show; 10’x40’ patio added and impervious surfaces clearly indicated. The board agreed there did not appear to be any material changes.

Abutters present: None

Mr. William Norton represented the applicant Paul Forkus, Jr. He explained the proposal for a 22’x24’ 1 story Accessory Living Unit addition to the rear of the house/garage at 108 Maple Avenue with occupancy for Mr. Forkus father. An existing bedroom in the house would be converted to a shared living room and access to the unit would be through the main house. The board reviewed the Special Exception/Accessory Living Unit criteria and determined criteria (a) thru (e) were met but discussion followed regarding criteria (f) which addressed appearance.

The board reviewed the submitted drawings and felt that a clearer floor plan of the house and access into the unit was needed. Mr. Polito also requested an elevation plan. Board members asked about the stairs in the unit and were told they would lead to an unfinished basement with no access to the house basement area. The board discussed criteria (g) egress and explained to the applicant that an outside door to the deck with stairs would be allowed in the rear or side.

Mr. Polito reviewed criteria (h) & (j) which would be met. Criteria (j) was reviewed and the applicant explained that a contingency septic plan had been submitted to the town for a 2BR + 1BR Inlaw. Mr. Polito noted that confirmation of State Approval would be required.

Mr. Polito reminded Mr. Norton that a Deed Addendum would be required and reported that based on the submitted information his submission looked good.

The board would like a sketch of the old and new footprint of the building and include a detailed floor plan along with elevation plans and pictures to assure the board it did not have the appearance of a duplex.

Mr. Riel made a motion to continue the hearing to January 9, 2008. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carter. Motion was unanimously approved.

Mr. Polito closed the hearing.

Mr. Polito adjourned the meeting at

Minutes prepared from tape. Respectfully submitted,
