The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. with Mr. Bouchard presiding.
MINUTES OF 4/3/07: D. Hardy made a motion, second by S. Heaney, to accept the minutes as read. The motion carried.
LAND USE OFFICER: Ms. Corrow introduced Matt Nebesnik, Land Use Officer, to the Board. She explained that he has been with us for almost a month. He has done correspondence on several violations and is out and about daily. His position is a valuable improvement to our process as he is available daily for questions. Ms. Corrow continued to say that we are about education and the goal is for compliance. Mr. Nebesnik shall bring cases to prosecution only when violation compliance is ignored. He is not a planner; this part of the process is still missing. Mr. Nebesnik is also the Health Officer, she added. He coordinates cases with the Fire Department Chief and also coordinates Planning/Zoning cases with all Department Heads. He has made up special Department Review forms. He intends to also review the Zoning Ordinance through-out the year and will recommend any needed changes to the Planning Board. Ms. Corrow encouraged the Zoning Board members to visit Mr. Nebesnik.

LAND USE OFFICER continued:
Ms. Heaney asked about follow-up on cases and Mr. Nebesnik stated that he is reviewing cases back as far as a year ago. Mr. Bouchard welcomed him. Mr. Nebesnik then distributed copies of forms he has designed for Variances and Special Exceptions. He asked the Board to look at these and let him know what they think as soon as possible.
Mr. Bouchard stated that the Board would try to get to them tonight if they had time. Mr. Nebesnik also distributed copies of the Feb. 2007 The Board of Adjustment in New Hampshire booklet to each member. The Board members welcomed Mr. Nebesnik gratefully.
SPECIAL EXCEPTION: BLUEBERRY SHORES AT NEWFOUND LLC/LES MILLS
The secretary read the application, abutters notified, where the hearing was advertised and stated that there were no telephone calls but that there were 6 written responses. Mr. Bouchard then went over the procedure for a hearing.
Mr. Mills stated that this is an application for a Special Exception from Article III,
Section 3.2F. On the south side of Wulamat Road, he pointed out the lot numbers in question and stated that lot #240 has recreational storage as determined in a previous hearing. He also mentioned that lot #242 and #251 were merged at that time. Mr. Mills feels that it will take about a year to process this project as there are State and Planning Board approvals necessary.
M. Willingham made a MOTION, second by D. Hardy, to ACCEPT THE APPLICATION AS COMPLETE. The motion CARRIED.
Mr. Mills then stated that they wish to consolidate lots #244, 243 and 051 for a total of 32 acres. The property abuts the existing Bristol Shores RV Camping (across the street) and is by the overflow parking lot and recreational vehicle storage building. The land has been surveyed and there is quite a bit of wetlands. They are doing preliminary work now and are proposing 2 tennis courts, a rec. hall and laundry, basketball court and a swimming pool. The success of the original campground has been overwhelming for both the town and the developer. 60% is left as open space (wetlands and buffers). Mr. Mills stated that they are grandfathered for 350 sites but have probably only 190 on the original sites. These have been totally renovated with town water, sewer systems and underground utilities. This additional section will be done the same. They will have increased 25% of the camp sites with municipal water and on-site septic. 10 campsites are equal to a 4-bedroom house, Mr. Mills explained. All units are 1-bedroom, seasonal units. In this area, the developer could have single houses or a cluster development according to the Ordinance. The acreage is surrounded by vacant woodland and single family dwellings. The property’s nearest point to the Lake is 1800’ and is 1500’ from the road. It has slopes so that the surface water drains toward the Lake. The abutting Weigel property consists of 7.2 acres on this side of the road and 32 acres on the other side. There is a single family home on lot #102-051-1, which is owned by Barbara Hayden-Dow Revocable Trust.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Mr. Mills then addressed the 6 guidelines for a Special Exception in Section 5.4 of the Zoning Ordinance.
1. The proposed use (s) shall be only those allowed in this Ordinance by Special Exception. Mr. Mills stated that the property is in the Lake District and a Camping Park is allowed by Special Exception. He added that it also applies to the requirement that a campground must be 5 acres or more.
2. The specific site is an appropriate location and of adequate size for the use. Mr. Mills stated that it meets the criteria in the Zoning Ordinance as a camping park and is connected to West Shore Road which is state maintained. It is abutted by the existing camping park and woodlands. Mr. Mills feels that it is one of the few pieces of property left in town that could qualify for this use. Mr. Mills added that it can be developed so as not to be in the public view. The closest houses are located on Batten Road, he added.
At this time, Mr. Bouchard stated that the plan shows a 30’ buffer but a 35’ buffer is required. Mr. Mills pointed out the location to the houses and stated that it is 200’ – 250’ to the nearest home. He added that septics must be 125’ from the wetlands.
3. The use, as developed, will not adversely affect the character of the area in which
the proposed use will be located. This was covered under the preceding statements, Mr. Mills felt.
4. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. Mr. Mills felt that neither of these is a problem.
5. The use will not place excessive or undue burden on Town services and facilities. Mr. Mills stated that this plan could represent 100 campsites, more or less and would add to town income. Mr. Mills stated that this could be 4-season, temporary recreational housing. The present park is closed for 6 weeks: it closes Nov. 1st
to do the winter maintenance and April 1st for Spring clean-up. He added that 10% of the owners want winter access. The water systems are privately maintained.
Ms. Heaney asked how we can judge this application when the plan is not the final intent. Mr. Bouchard stated that the Board must judge according to the plan presented. Mr. Mills felt that this is unfair as they need State Subdivision and Septic approval, Site Specific approval as well as Planning Board application approval. All of these may wish changes to be made. Ms. Heaney felt that the ZBA does not have the plan that they need to make a decision on. Mr. Willingham felt that they have several other applications to meet by law, which could change this. Ms. Heaney pointed out that the ZBA does not even know how many sites will be put in which could make a difference with traffic. Mr. Bouchard felt that we must use our best judgment. Mr. Mills felt that the camping park could stand on its own as it is within a mile of the Lake and of a boat launch.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Requirement #5 continued:
Mr. Bouchard stated that this camping park needs so much access to the Lake and will need a Variance as they do not meet the footage needed. He asked if they have looked at the septic needs. Mr. Mills stated that they have enough for 300 units and they hope it will be like what is shown. As to undue burden, he feels that Fire may have more calls. This will be new construction with underground utilities and will be safe. They will need public water. This will have one connection and one meter. He did not feel that it would impact public travel or emergency.
6. There would be no significant effect resulting from such use upon the public
health, safety, and general welfare of the neighborhood in which the use would be located. Mr. Mills stated that the use is for recreational camping and the history is that it was always part of the campground but was not developed. They have modernized it. All of the present campground has state septic approval.
Mr. Bouchard explained that, with the hearing for the storage, they are no longer grandfathered. Mr. Mills felt that 350 sites are grandfathered. There are 195 sites on paper. Mr. Willingham stated that the original septic has all been upgraded. Mr. Bouchard felt that the number of sites is grandfathered on the original site. Mr. Willingham stated that there is confusion of the grandfathering being for the septic system. Mr. Mills stated that the amount of septic could be higher if they put in housing.
Mr. Mills continued by saying that the campground is worth $3,000,973.80 at present and $1100 per site, this new addition would mean $250,000 to the town. If this is done, it will bring the total value to $350 to $375 million.
At this time, Mr. Bouchard asked for any comments in favor of this project. Mr. Lindholm, resident, asked what Mr. Bouchard meant as to the waterfront access and needing a Variance. If we wait until later on for this, it would be like putting the cart before the horse. He asked if they need 20’ of Lake frontage for each unit. Mr. Bouchard explained that the ZBA have to determine if they can have a Special Exception. Then they go to the Planning Board and may be sent back to ZBA for this variance.
With no other comments, Mr. Bouchard asked for comments from those opposed.
Colin Robinson, shareholder in Wulamat Campground (an abutter) stated that he is an attorney and that Mr. Mills has misrepresented N.H. law. Ms. Heaney was right as far as the plan is concerned. The ZBA is sworn to carry out the Zoning Ordinance. As to whether or not this is a campground, we must read RSA216, I. Bristol’s Ordinance states that the recreational vehicle must be 400 sq. ft. or less and on their web site, they advertise these as 632 sq. ft. If that is the case, this does not qualify. They cannot have a campground due to the size.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Mr. Robinson continued by saying that Section 3.3F of the Ordinance says that maximum structure coverage cannot be over 25% and is also mentioned in 8.71. Mr. Robinson asked if it is the Land Use Officer who would determine the parking in 4.5C. Mr. Bouchard said that 100 units would need 100 spaces. Mr. Robinson asked where that is defined and he feels that it would be up to the Land Use Officer. He then asked about flood hazard and was told that this is a separate issue. As to no evidence of minimal impact, does the ZBA get input from the Departments? Mr. Bouchard stated that we do but we have to let the applicants make his presentation first. Mr. Robinson stated that the Board cannot count the application as complete unless they have all the needed information. He added that many towns have joint meetings so all hear the same testimony.
Gerald Colpitts, not an abutter but a resident who shall have to drive through that area, asked if the addition is to be across the street from the old one. He feels that this is a lot of sewerage. He also mentioned that the boat trailer line for the boat launch at Wellington State Park will be horrendous. This plan will produce more people in that small area than what is on the whole lake. Mr. Colpitts also asked about taking the trees down as there have been several near accidents due to the blockage of view. He objects to the fact that the square footage of the units are bigger than what is allowed and he does not feel that the lake can handle what is already there. Mr. Colpitts is totally against this plan.
Herb Darcy, abutter, has a problem with the traffic issue. There will be problems with the boat access flow of large trucks and boats along with those going to Wellington. He feels that town services, police, fire and emergency, will be affected. Mr. Darcy is opposed.
Mr. Bouchard read the letters from the Highway Safety Committee (recommending to deny), the Fire Chief (problems with fires, more inspections needed, need of more hydrants and increase in emergency medical services), Highway (trees obstructing view, pedestrian traffic concern), Police (Police, Fire, EMT & Highway demands impacted), and Public Works (trees over water main, septic system impact on the town’s well head protection area and related needs for water).
Bob Felder, approved representative for the Spinale’s on #102-048, asked if
Phase I is contiguous and was told that it is. He then asked if they have vested rights. Mr. Bouchard answered that the vested rights are only to Phase I. Mr. Felder asked if this is a short-term or long-term park and was told that it is a long-term. The definitions were read. Mr. Felder pointed out that III, 3.2Fb(1) would need a variance as well as 3.2Fb(2).
3.2Fd(1) has not been done yet and 3.2Fd(2) has not shown the area for the sewage site.
Mr. Felder stated that they already have continual obnoxious use in Phase I. Do we have to have this noise in stereo now, he asked. Mr. Felder then pointed to page 19 of the Ordinance, 4.5B1a and Mr. Bouchard stated that this refers to the parking for residential districts.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Mr. Robinson again stated that parking would be determined by the Land Use Officer. Mr. Bouchard read the portion referring to 300’ needed for each unit. Mr. Felder said that a single family needs 2 spaces but there is no place listed as to the size of the site for parking. His next question for page 23 has been answered, he stated. Mr. Felder then referred to page 26, 4.12A for the Board to look at and also page 28, 4.14. He questioned how the laundry fits in. On page 30, 5.4A3 and 6, Mr. Felder felt that it is ludicrous to think that this plan will not affect the area. He also feels for #6, the plan does not meet the criteria. Mr. Felder feels that the general welfare is being destroyed. He did say that Phase I is a big improvement over what it had been. He added that Phase II has been hugely cleared and he questioned if permits were received. On page 47, 8.139, Mr. Felder said that the plan does not meet this. Next he directed everyone to page 49, 8.155 Waiver, and warned against getting caught with this. On page 97, Mr. Felder pointed out Presite Built Housing which is not allowed in the Lake District.
Mr. Felder then asked what the rush is and suggested that the Board look at LXIV RSA672 through 677. He feels that tonight’s’ presentation has overstepped the spirit of the ordinance.
Frank Rooney, Camelot Acres, estimated that this will bring in a total of 400 people to this campground. He stated that they already hear noise all the time. He warned against one Board going against another Board when meeting separately. Mr. Rooney felt that single-family dwellings would be a better choice.
Jerry McGwin, resident, is opposed to the plan due to the impact to the Lake. There is also no mention of overflow parking or for guest boats. He feels that the present overflow parking space is not enough.
Mr. Robinson mentioned the Highway Committee letter recommendation. He added that it is dangerous to consider they are grandfathered for 350 sites. He was involved with that decision with DES when Barbara Haden owned it. They made the case of 350 sites as, before 1969, the State said that 55 gallon drums were okay for 350 sites. This has nothing to do with legality. That density would not fly, he added.
Boyd Smith, director of Newfound Lakes Region Association, stated that his concern is for the Lake quality and septic discharge. He spoke with Dick Desalve (State) about subsurface and was told that it is 90 gallons per day per unit. There is an overall impact to ground water. The septic design is key. He also mentioned that the owners could have deeded rights to the beach.
Mr. Willingham explained that they have 1200’ of shoreline. If they intend on expansion, this will have to be re-calculated. Mr. Bouchard explained that they are already over the limit in Phase I. Mr. Smith asked who watches this and felt that this is a conceptual hearing. As to the Special Exception criteria, he feels that we do not have the subjected information. It will be too crowded and be too much of a burden on the property as well as the lake.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Mr. Mills stated that there is a certain process. Not one issue here that is not part of the normal approval process. There is no policy for the need of complete plans. He still has to get to Site Plan Review. None of his presentation has been deceptive. They intend to do what is allowed by law. He asked if they need more information or time. They will follow the laws of the town and the state. He cannot get a variance without a denial and he can’t go to the Planning Board without a Special Exception.
Bruce VanDerven, resident, felt that this is a difficult job for both Mr. Mills and the Board. He mentioned that Phase I closes for 2-6 week periods. When the Planning Board agreed to this, they understood it to be that closed meant closed but this sounds like only services are closed. Mr. Bouchard felt that the Board felt that the gates would be closed. Mr. Mills stated that it is closed to the unit owners for maintenance in the fall and cleaning in the spring. Mr. Bouchard feels that it is a compliance issue. Mr. VanDerven felt confused. Mr. Mills stated that they blow out the water system. Those who wish to come in the winter must have their own generators. Mr. Bouchard thought that they have to be closed 3 months a year. Mr. Belbin asked if they have a gate attendant. Mr. Mills answered that there is a manager but construction trucks are in and out. Mr. Willingham felt that they need to get someone to oversee this.
Ron Olson, Bridgewater, stated that if a campground’s units should be 400 sq. ft. or less, the present campground is out of compliance. Mr. Felder said that 5.4, 1-6 conditions must be met. Mr. Robinson stated that it is false to say that a Special Exception must come before going to the Planning Board; a Board’s job is to do their job and the applicant must go in with the facts. It is impossible to have everything first and the applicant should know the Zoning Ordinance back and forwards first.
With no other comments, Mr. Bouchard closed the public session. Mr. Willingham explained that this means no further testimony is taken. The Board discusses, deliberates and looks at the whole process.
At this time, Mr. Bouchard read the letter from Jim and Joyce Beggan, abutters (all letters are filed in the file folder) in which they expressed that they would like to see the Special Exception denied.
Ms. Heaney again stated that she feels there is not enough information available. She thought that the Board can apply conditions but she is not comfortable with that. Mr. Bouchard stated that the presentation is misread by the original application. Mr. Willingham felt that guidance is needed as to the impact to the application. He thought that we could bring him back as we don’t have enough information. There is no compliance on the original campground. As to the size of the units, he is not sure of this and needs more information.
Mr. Belbin could not see how this case can fly. He does not feel that the applicant can meet any of the criteria. There are population, traffic and safety problems. Mr. Belbin feels that we need to vote on this. Ms. Heaney stated that we could continue it. Mr. Bouchard mentioned that the applicant can appeal. Mr. Willingham feels that the applicant did not meet some of the criteria and we need more information.

BLUEBERRY SHORES SP. EXCEPTION continued:
Mr. Belbin mentioned that they would all need dump stickers. The secretary stated that they are supposed to supply their own dumpster. Ms. Heaney added that we do not even know how many units they want. She thinks that we should continue. We need a specific plan based on what they really want to do. Ms. Hardy agreed. There is an impact of population and boats. Mr. Bouchard added that we have not seen the full occupancy yet on Phase I. Mr. Belbin still could not see how they can meet public interest. Mr. Willingham said that the Board has an obligation to allow the owner proper use of their property. Ms. Hardy agreed with Mr. Belbin as to the public interest. 100 plus units is significant. The effect on the lake, the road and coming into town will be heavy. A discussion continued.
Mr. Willingham felt that they cannot have more access to the lake but if they don’t have access to the beach, these units would be hard to sell. Ms. Heaney wants to see the exact plan though she felt that the Board did not necessarily need to see the septic plan as this would come under the Planning Board. Mr. Willingham mentioned parking. Ms. Heaney felt that we have had good input tonight. Mr. Bouchard felt that we needed parking, unit size and a more definitive plan. Mr. Willingham stated that the owner has rights but we need more information to see what the plan is. He is in favor of continuing.
Mr. Belbin felt that we should deny it as they cannot meet 3, 4, 5 or 6. Mr. Willingham thought that the Board could say no to fires but the Board felt that this gets away from the campground uses.
L. Belbin made a MOTION to DENY THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR BLUEBERRY SHORES AT NEWFOUND LLC BASED ON NOT MEETING #3, 4, 5, & 6 OF THE NECESSARY CRITERIA. There was no second.
M. Willingham made a MOTION to CONTINUE THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR BLUEBERRY SHORES AT NEWFOUND LLC FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION:
THE UNIT SIZE, PARKING, HOW MANY UNITS, THE ACTUAL CLOSURE TIME WITH MANAGEMENT AND HOW TO COMPLY, ALONG WITH A DETAILED PLAN. An amendment was made to include THE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, WHAT OTHER FACILITIES ARE PLANNED, TOWN AND STATE LAW. A second was given by Ms. Heaney.
Ms. Corrow asked for a point of order. She stated that the application submitted was for 105 units and everyone has based their judgment on that plan. She feels that the Board must act on this plan. Mr. Bouchard agreed and added that this was what he has been trying to get at. The motion was WITHDRAWN.
L. Belbin made a MOTION, second by S. Heaney, to DENY THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR BLUEBERRY SHORES AT NEWFOUND LLC BASED ON NOT MEETING REQUIREMENTS #3, 4, 5& 6. The motion CARRIED, 4 for, 1 opposed.
Mr. Bouchard explained that there is a 30-day time limit to appeal. Mr. Mills requested a copy of the minutes when they are ready.

VARIANCE: DEBORAH MANCUSO
The secretary read the application, abutters notified, where the hearing was advertised and stated that 0 phone calls were received but we have 3 written responses.
Ms. Mancuso stated that she has added a dining room and has done a bunch of repairs. She is asking for 20 more seats (12 tables). She is grandfathered for 24 spaces and needs 10 more. Mr. Bouchard read from the Planning Board minutes and they had determined that there were 12 for the take-out, 10 for the tables and 2 for storage for a total of 29. A discussion followed. Ms. Mancuso determined that she wanted 10 seats outside and would need 5 more parking spaces to cover for the inside and 4 more for the outside for a total of 9.
Ms. Heaney stated that the Board is not giving permission for tables outside (that will be up to the Planning Board) but only permission for a variance for the additional parking spaces needed if this is allowed.
S. Heaney made a MOTION, second by M. Willingham, to ACCEPT THE APPLICATION AS COMPLETE. The motion CARRIED.
Ms. Mancuso then addressed the Variance criteria.
1. Not contrary to the public interest: Ms. Mancuso presented a petition signed by 650 people from the community and its surrounds.
2. Special conditions: Ms. Mancuso had been given a building permit to do the work based on not using it until she was approved by the Planning Board.
3. Consistent with the spirit of the ordinance: Ms. Mancuso referred to the picture depicted in the Master Plan in which sidewalk tables are shown in front of her building. She stated that she has been doing a pretty good business and has kept both the outside and inside very historic. Her business is a Deli Pizzeria. The purpose of the additional room is to allow the elderly a place to eat in quiet. Ms. Mancuso does not feel that she shall even need all of the parking she already is grandfathered for. Again she referred to the Master Plan and the commercial property downtown and its’ suggestions to enhance the economic vitality, to unify the business district and to utilize the downtown area. In the town survey, they speak of having roughly 172 parking spaces available and these are hardly ever used. She is just asking for a variance for 9 spaces. The survey showed that parking is filled 51% weekdays and 60% on weekends. The dining room will only be used at night. The only businesses open then are Joe’s, the Mill and her business.
4. Substantial justice: Ms. Mancuso felt that she covered this in #3.
5. Value of surrounding properties: It will increase value, bring in more people and more revenue.

MANCUSO VARIANCE continued:
Public input was asked for at this time.
Mr. Denning asked if this case might go near the Select Board and he was told that it could if there is an appeal. Mr. Denning chose not to speak in that case.
Mr. McGwin stated that he is in favor of this variance. He feels that the Downtown district needs it and it is the first positive plan in a long time.
Paula Denning, resident, asked why parking is an issue. Ms. Heaney answered that it is because it is in the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Denning feels that this should be changed. Ms. Mancuso added that, unless the Ordinance is changed, no-one in the district will be able to meet it. Mr. Bouchard stated that if others come in and all need 9 spaces, it could become a problem. We have to consider all sides.
Mr. Favorite, Baker St., stated that he was speaking for the Downtown Committee and there are issues of trying to accommodate residential spaces. One problem is that the business owners and workers all park in front of their properties. There is municipal parking in front of the bank, by the library, at the Mason’s and on Central Street. He feels that this variance should be allowed.
Ms. Mancuso questioned parking on the side of the street and the Board felt that she should not go there.
No opposition to the plan was brought before the Board and the public session was then closed.
Mr. Bouchard stated that Ms. Mancuso has addressed the requirements, stating that it is a benefit to the Downtown revitalization, that her business is a short-time parking situation in that most is take-out.
Ms. Heaney felt that precedence was set with the mica building and that holding to the regulations could stifle business here. She is on the Historic District Commission and stated that we need businesses. She added that Ms. Mancuso has done a good job with her sign.
Mr. Bouchard disagreed with having set precedence as he feels that each case must be handled individually.
Mr. Belbin stated that he is in favor of the variance. He added that we need signs so that people know where the municipal parking is. Mr. Belbin felt that, if a problem with parking comes up, the Selectmen can set a limited time for parking in the Square.
Mr. Willingham felt that Ms. Mancuso had met all of the criteria and the variance can be granted. He would like to add a comment to the approval in which Ms. Mancuso gives up the right to complain about parking if problems do come up later on. The members agreed to this and Mr. Bouchard asked Ms. Mancuso if she understood this. Ms. Mancuso stated that she did.

M. Willingham made a MOTION, second by S. Heaney, to GRANT THE VARIANCE FOR 9 ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES TO DEBORAH MANCUSO WITH THE CONDITION THAT WE NOT EXPECT HER TO COME BACK AT A LATER DATE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A LACK OF AVAILABLE PARKING. The motion CARRIED.
The approval was signed and Ms. Mancuso was told of the 30-day time limit for appeal.
COMPLIANCE HEARING FOR SONDRA J. KEENE:
As the necessary agreement was not ready yet, the Board felt that this case should be continued.
M. Willingham made a MOTION, second by L. Belbin, to CONTINUE THE COMPLIANCE HEARING FOR SONDRA J. KEENE TO JUNE 5, 2007. The motion CARRIED.
COMMUNICATIONS:
The Town & City Magazine will be in the office for anyone to look at.
REVIEW BYLAWS AND FORMS:
As it was late, Mr. Bouchard felt that these should be held until our next meeting. The Board agreed.
NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be held Tues., June 5, 2007. To date, the agenda includes the Cont. Compliance Hearing for Sondra Keene and a review of the bylaws and forms.
OTHER:
Mr. Bouchard thanked everyone for their help this evening and stressed that the Board can only address what is on the application.
With no other business and the late hour, L. Belbin made a motion, second by
S. Heaney, to adjourn at 10:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jan Laferriere, secretary
