SUBDIVISION: PEGASUS REALTY TRUST/ LARRY SPELLMAN/KEN GRADY
Ms. DellaCroce arrived and Mr. Duquette stepped down.
Catherine Broderick, Attorney with Wescott, Millham and Dyer, represented the applicants. She also included Attorney Dyer, Hank Amsden, Nathan ____, and Joe Arno for additional input.
Ms. Laferriere read the application, abutters notified, where the hearing was advertised and stated that there were no telephone calls or written messages received. Mr. Paradis read the procedure for hearings.
Ms. Broderick explained that the applicant wishes to subdivide Phase II into 2 8-acre lots. She presented a copy of the Fire Chief’s letter dated Aug. 17, 2006. Mr. Paradis found it interesting that the letter was addressed to Mr. Paradis and he had never received it. He then read what the Fire Chief, Norman W. Skantze, had to say. Chief Skantze stated that he would give the applicant a choice between extending a hydrant to the vicinity (within 500’) of the proposed structures or provide 13-D

PEGASUS SUBDIVISION continued:
Residential Sprinkler Systems in each. As to the road, Chief Skantze would be satisfied with a width of 13’ to match the width already existing (length approximately 400’). Mr. Paradis continued by saying that developers came in to see him in August questioning frontage. Mr. Paradis sent an e-mail to the town attorney, Bernie Waugh, who replied that an approved subdivision road could provide the frontage needed even though the subdivision road originates from a private road.
Ms. Broderick stated that Phase I has come to an agreement with the developers. She then distributed unsigned copies to the Board. Mr. Paradis was concerned about the width of the road and the grade as it seems to be over a 15% grade and our regulations do not permit anything over 10%. Mr. Amsden stated that the contours are from the 1990’s and the wetlands are shown in grey. He assured the Board that the road stays pretty close to 10% and circles around so as to do this. Diane Rutledge, President of Phase I Condominium Association, asked if this is for the existing or proposed road. Mr. Paradis explained that he is referring to the proposed road; the existing road is grandfathered. He then asked if there is a profile of the contours available and Mr. Amsden said that there is not but this can be attained.
Mr. Paradis mentioned that the proposed road is shown as a dead end at the edge of the properties which does not allow for frontage. Rod Dyer, Attorney, stated that they intend to go in to the properties. Mr. Paradis explained that this still does not allow any frontage. Both lots need frontage on the road. Ms. Seeler added that this should be shown on the plan. Mr., Dyer stated that he would agree to the Planning Board approval of the plan with this condition.
The checklist was then addressed:
#10 Easements, existing and proposed = It was stated that they propose on-site utilities (well and septic). It is in the condo agreement. Attorney Dyer added that the width of the road is 15’ including shoulders and ditches.
#11 Streets on & adjacent to tract = Mr. Paradis asked if they wished to waive the request for r.o.w. width & location and culvert sizes & locations as they are not included. Mr. Amsden added this to the waiver request sheet.
#12 Utilities = A waiver was asked as it was felt that this is not applicable due to on-site water and sewer. The secretary asked about electricity and Mr. Paradis stated that they could ask for a partial waiver on this. They do need the existing utilities. The waivers will be addressed after the entire checklist is completed.
#13 Soil types; SCS or High Intensity = Mr. Paradis asked if what is on the plan is for the entire lot and Mr. Amsden stated that it is.
#14 Topography at 2’ intervals = the plan shows 5’ intervals. Asked to waive as they do not
feel that 2’ intervals would be legible.
#15 Other conditions on tract = It was pointed out that wooded areas are not shown.
#16 Other conditions on adjacent tracts = Asked for a waiver; not applicable for a driveway.
#18 Proposed public improvements = Asked for a waiver; not applicable.
#20 Building setback lines (all lots) = The Board determined that these should be placed on the plan.
#23 Construction drawings for road = Asked for a waiver; not applicable for a driveway.
#24 Drainage plan = Asked for a waiver; not applicable for a driveway.

PEGASUS SUBDIVISION, Checklist continued:
#25 Other permits required = Mr. Amsden stated that NHDES gave them approval to withdraw the land.
#26 & #27 Site Inspection by Board and Review by engineer or other = Waivers requested; not applicable.
Andy O’Hara, abutter, asked if they will get a waiver on the drainage. He would like this asked for as there is an existing brook which comes down across his land and the Cuneo property. They are very concerned about more drainage as there is heavy drainage there now. Mr. Amsden stated that this is the reason that they placed the road further up. Mr. O’Hara went on to say that, in the winter, ice forms on West Shore Road now. Mr. Paradis stated that the road is to be about 1400’ away but it is all downhill. Attorney Dyer stated that, by law, any construction cannot put more drainage onto other lots. They wish to waive an engineered drainage plan, making this their responsibility. Mr. O’Hara stated that Phase II was to be multiple condos but the State required engineered drainage plans and they then abandoned that idea. Mr. Dyer stated that drainage issues are in the Association agreement and they can only disturb the area for the extension of the driveway. Ms. DeStefano pointed out that this is in item g. of the agreement but it refers to Exhibit B, which is not included here. Mr. Paradis read the copy of Exhibit B that Ms. Broderick brought forth (a letter from J. P. Morrison of Morrison Construction LLC who is to put in the road).
Attorney Todd Fahey asked if they shall have input on waivers and Mr. Paradis explained that they will but he would like to complete the checklist first and then address the waiver requests one by one. Mr. Fahey was fine with that.
WAIVERS:
#11 R.O.W. width & location and culvert sizes & locations: Ms. DellaCroce asked what the current diameters are on West Shore Road. She was told that they have had larger diameters on properties there with smaller ones at the road. Mr. Paradis stated that this is existing conditions. Ms. DellaCroce felt that the proposed road would add drainage to the problem and Mr. Paradis felt that most would be absorbed due to the distance. Ms. Seeler felt that this portion should not be waived and that the information could be easily taken from the Phase I plan.
E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by D. Milbrand, to WAIVE THIS SECTION OF #11 ON THE CHECKLIST. The motion was DEFEATED: 0 for, 6 against. This should now be added to the plan.
#12 Utilities: Jim Gaudette, abutter – Phase I, asked about the electricity. Mr. Paradis stated that it would require cutting a few trees. Atty. Dyer stated that they are to be placed underground. Mr. Gaudette wanted to know where it starts and where it ends. Mr. Paradis asked for this and was told that it has not been determined as yet. Mr. Gaudette felt that it should be documented. Diane Rutledge, abutter – Phase I, stated that the agreement is to go from the electric hub at Unit 23 and go to Unit 25 and there are to be no overhead utilities without the consent of Phase I owners. Mr. Dyer agreed and added that they do not know where the lines will go yet. Ms. Seeler feels that it should be on the plan.

SUBDIVISION: PEGASUS continued:
E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by D. DeStefano, to WAIVE THE ELECTRICITY PORTION OF #12 OF THE CHECKLIST. The motion was DEFEATED: 1 for, 5 against.
J. McGwin made a MOTION, second by D. DeStefano, to WAIVE THE WATER AND SEWER PORTION OF #12 OF THE CHECKLIST. The motion CARRIED.
#14 Topography: A discussion was held on whether or not to waive the topography at 2’ intervals. Mr. McGwin felt that, with the length of the road, the water run-off has to go somewhere. It appears to be awfully steep. Mr. Paradis stated that the Board must keep in mind that any Subdivision approved road could become an approved town road at some point. He felt that Mr. Morrison’s letter, in which he addresses diverting run-off, should be considered.
D. Milbrand made a MOTION, second by D. DeStefano, to WAIVE THE TOPOGRAPHY REQUIREMENT CONTINGENT ON RECEIVING A PROFILE OF THE ROADWAY. The motion CARRIED.
#16 Other conditions on adjacent tracts: Mr. Paradis stated that this has been routinely waived as it does not seem to apply to anything in the regulations. The Board has not had time to adjust this.
E. Seeler made a MOTION, second D. DeStefano, to WAIVE #16 OF THE CHECKLIST AS NOT APPLICABLE. The motion CARRIED.
#18 Proposed public improvements: E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by D. Milbrand, to WAIVE #18 OF THE CHECKLIST. The motion CARRIED.
#23 Construction drawings for roads: The application for waiver stated that this is not applicable for a driveway. The Board explained that this must be considered a subdivision road in order for them to have frontage for the two lots proposed. Mr. Paradis went on to say that town counsel says that the Planning Board can request road requirements but they can waive portions of these if they desire. He personally feels okay with this based on Mr. Morrison’s and Mr. Skantze’s letters. Ms. Seeler stated that they could waive it if it is a driveway and the Board again stated that they would then have no frontage. Mr. Milbrand feels that the Board needs a drawing for what is proposed as well as a drainage plan.
Mr. O’Hara reminded them that the town could approve the subdivision road at some point and, without blueprints, the town would have to pay to bring everything up to standards. Atty. Dyer stated that, if the requirements become too onorous, the applicants shall have to come back with an additional plan. Atty. Fahey asked if it is a road or driveway and was told that they are looking at a separate driveway. Ms. Seeler stated that they would need frontage then. Mr. Dyer said that the maximum grade is 15%. Mr. Paradis stated that a cross-section of the road can be done. Mr. Dyer again stated that he feels this is a driveway. Mr. O’Hara stated that, if it is a private driveway, where is the frontage? Mr. Paradis stated that our attorney says that it must comply with the State description for a street. Mr. Amsden stated that they moved the road so as to avoid all wetlands. Mr. Fahey stated that a

SUBDIVISION: PEGASUS continued:
private road is addressed in RSA674:41. Mr. Gaudette asked who is to build the road and when will it be built. Ms. Rutledge stated that the agreement is to minimize construction during summer vacation. Mr. Gaudette asked what year. Mr. Rutledge stated that Mr. Morrison gave a quote on the standard. Mr. Milbrand would like a drawing of Mr. Morrison’s quote. Ms. DeStefano is concerned that there is no increase in drainage. Mr. Paradis stated that the details of the road are fine but there is not enough detail on the plan. He then showed the applicants the sample given in the subdivision regulations.
#24 Drainage plan: Mr. Paradis read of this from the subdivision regulations. He added that the conditions are in the agreement. Ms. Seeler pointed out that there are other abutters besides those in Phase I. Mr. Paradis felt that this could be waived if the condition included all abutters. Mr. Dyer agreed to do this. Mr. Gaudette wanted to know who measures what is there now. Mr. Amsden stated that an engineer has to look at contours. Mr. Paradis asked how it is proven that there is no increase to the drainage. Mr. O’Hara stated that there is a problem already. He is not asking for an engineered plan but feels that a surveyor must know engineers who can determine this. Mr. O’Hara does not want the brook to become a river. He then asked what will happen with the new project. Mr. Paradis stated that run-off is a concern of the Board. His opinion is that this is a large lot and the disturbance will be a small percentage of the property. Dot O’Hara, abutter, asked if the applicant would be willing to put in writing that there will be no increase (especially to that that comes through their cellar already). Mr. Paradis stated that it shall be in our minutes. A discussion followed. Mr. Milbrand feels that we need an overall lot drainage plan, a cross-section profile of the road and to indicate the culverts. Mr. Paradis felt that Mr. Morrison will determine these. Mr. Fahey stated that there is the potential to clear cut a lot. A baseline measure is needed and that there will be no increase in drainage created. Mr. Dyer read the section in the agreement with Phase I in which this is addressed. The Board felt that this protects the common area not abutters. Ms. Rutledge stated that she would not sign for other abutters. Ms. O’Hara asked if this is just an agreement for the condo owners. Mr. Paradis assured her that the Planning Board could make an agreement with all abutters as a condition of approval. Mr. Gaudette said that he is not satisfied with measurements as they are ambiguous. Mr. O’Hara mentioned that town law permits are only for the house lot. Ms. Rutledge stated that they have had to have road repair work done and they can measure for Phase I.
D. Milbrand made a MOTION, second by J. McGwin, to WAIVE #24 OF THE CHECKLIST.
D. DeStefano made an AMENDMENT, second by J. DellaCroce, to STIPULATE ON THE PLAN THAT THEY MUST HAVE THE SAME AGREEMENT REGARDING DRAINAGE AS CONTAINED IN THE ACCOMODATION AGREEMENT WITH NEWFOUND SANDS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION FOR ALL ABUTTERS. The amendment CARRIED. The AMENDED MOTION was then voted on and CARRIED.
#26 Site inspection by Board: E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by D. Milbrand, to WAIVE #26 OF THE CHECKLIST. The motion CARRIED.
#27 Review by engineer or other: E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by D. Milbrand, to WAIVE #27 OF THE CHECKLIST. The motion CARRIED.

SUBDIVISION: PEGASUS continued:
The Planning Board then listed the following as being needed on the plan: date on the signature block, R.O.W. and culverts, Electricity easement, profile of the driveway, the wooded area, setback lines, a condition of drainage for all abutters, and a road plan. The hearing is to continue March 28th.
Attorney Dyer asked if there are any other issues. Mr. Fahey stated that the situation is unique and that rivers run down in the Spring. He feels that it needs some measure. He would also like to see a cutting plan. His concern is for the people later on. If they thin too much, it will be a nightmare. Mr. Dyer is to address this. Mr. Amsden asked about how they want the frontage and Mr. Paradis explained that it has to be along the proposed road.
PCC: GENE BRUNE
Mr. Brune owns the log cabins on Lakeside Road. There is 300’ of frontage with the main house and 6 cottages. He explained that the State will not allow condos as he only has 3700 sq. ft. As Mr. Brune cannot afford to handle these as they are now, the State suggested he do a Co-op. Mr. Brune talked with Alan and Bruce Barnard who recommended Jack McCormack, Attorney. Mr. McCormack said that Co-ops are getting to be popular. The owner would sell shares. Mr. Brune had a copy of the attorney’s letter, which he provided to the Board, and of the tax map of the property. He continued to say that there are condos all around him and he does not plan on changing anything. He could rent year-round but he does not want to. He feels that a co-op would be better for the lake as renters don’t care like owners do. Pride of ownership is better.
Mr. Paradis explained that he spoke with Mr. Brune earlier and then called the Municipal Association about co-ops. They stated that they never heard of them in this area but this would not come under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board. Mr. Brune thanked the Board.
CONTINUED SUBDIVISION: FRED WELCH/TERRY O’CONNOR
Mr. Paradis read the applicant’s waiver of request which pertains to construction drawings for roads. Mr. Paradis felt that this comes under the scattered and premature clause (page 18 of the subdivision regulations, #5.1c). He has tried to visualize a school bus on the road.
Benjamin Breau, abutter, stated that, in the Spring, the road is unacceptable. There is no fire protection and the impact of this subdivision will be tremendous. He is against anything from Brange Road to Old Stage Road as it is too steep.
As to scattered and premature, Mr. Welch stated that every piece but one around his property has been subdivided. The hill problem is because the town has not maintained the road. The road needs culverts. If there is an accident, the town would be liable. There are two drains required by law and a 3rd one was done without their consent. The town is requesting that Old Stage be brought up to a Class V now. Mr. Paradis stated that Mr. Welch had the opportunity to come in for a Preliminary Conceptual Consultation (PCC); by not doing so, he has assumed the risk that the plan will not meet Planning Board standards. Mr. Welch stated that one side of Old Stage is to go to his kids and one to his partner for wood. If the town requires too much, he would be forced to sell. The land is registered with the County Farm Service and they say to clear-cut but he does not want to. He would have to force the town to upgrade the roads. Mr. Paradis answered that the town could then charge him for it. Mr. Welch stated that he is willing to accommodate the town.

WELCH SUBDIVISION continued:
Mr. Paradis explained that he had asked to have the Highway Superintendent here tonight and also for the Fire Chief’s input but no-one has gotten back to him. He asked when a town is required to send a school bus. Mr. Welch stated that there is no law but the usual standard is set at two miles. The area is served by electricity and T-V.
Mr. Breau stated that the road was improved about 10 years ago but the bottom has washed out since. Mr. Bucklin, Highway Superintendent, has had to throw stone in. He stated that a subdivision on that road was denied a year ago. Mr. Welch felt that Hemlock Brook Rd. is fixable but where the water will go is the problem. It needs geo-textile and drains. All attending agreed that it should not be paved.
Mr. Paradis felt that the Board needs input from Mr. Bucklin and Chief Skantze. Mr. O’Connor stated that he talked with Mr. Bucklin previously and asked if he could just get a letter from him. Ms. DellaCroce felt that the Board should ask the Town Manager to have Mr. Bucklin attend our next meeting. The Board was not in favor of a letter as they feel that they may have further questions for him. Mr. Welch felt that this could be waived per RSA 676.4. He is willing to call Ms. Corrow, Town Manager, also. Mr. Welch asked that the Board call him if they do not get anywhere.
Mr. Breau’s concern is Hemlock Brook Road and the extension of it and questioned the use. Mr. Welch stated that he would not use the extension, which has turned into a private road. It is a Class VI and not maintained by the town.
It was thought that the hearing should be continued to March 28th. Mr. Welch stated that making Old Stage a Class V will cause problems. Mr. Paradis read the description of a Class V road. Ms. Seeler said that it would be a Class V to the end of the subdivision. Mr. Welch was concerned about that stopping snowmobiles and 4-wheelers then. Mr. O’Connor said that the section to be brought up to Class V is 577’ long and asked if they might shorten it to cover the 500’ limit. Mr. Welch felt that he would have to look at this. Mr. Paradis felt that they could require that no paving be done. A discussion followed.
E. Seeler made a MOTION, second by J. McGwin, to CONTINUE THIS SUBDIVISION TO MARCH 28TH. The motion CARRIED.
MINOR SITE PLAN: TURNER’S COTTAGES LLC/JON ROKEH/JACK PALMER
The secretary read the application, referral, abutters list and where the hearing was advertised.
She stated that there were no written messages received and the telephone calls were asking where the garage was to be located.
Mr. Rokeh explained that they are looking to place a 4-bay garage where the shed was. He distributed handouts showing the location. They intend on adding a leaching cistern to the design which will take care of the drainage around the garage from both ways. There is to be a paved apron area. Mr. Rokeh assured the Board that the grading and drainage does not affect any of the abutters and the cistern will handle everything on site.
Ms. DellaCroce asked where the paving will be and was shown. Mr. Rokeh stated that it will be less than 28 feet.

MINOR SITE PLAN: TURNERS continued:
Jack Palmer stated that there is an 18’ minimum for each stall so they used 20’. Each has a pull-down stair for upper storage. Mr. Paradis asked if these shall be leased or shared and Mr. Rokeh answered that they are to be for whoever wants one. It will be sold with the condo.
Ann Arnold, abutter, came to see where the access is as she is concerned about the area from Camelot Acres. Mr. Rokeh explained that the area has been cleared for a water line access only.
A discussion was held as to another garage that is being looked for. Mr. Palmer stated that they have learned that it must be in the same footprint within the setback area. Mr. Rokeh pointed out its location. Mr. Palmer added that it is to be a standard garage with storage overhead.
George Grantham, abutter, questioned the easement saying that a lot of traffic comes through there. Mr. Rokeh stated that, once the water line is in, the area will be re-vegetated. It is never to be connected to Gareth Lane, he assured them. Mr. Grantham asked if they would block it and Mr. Palmer answered that they would if it becomes a problem.
Bob Johnson, abutter, mentioned that a 10-wheeler has gone through there. Mr. Palmer felt that it may have been the construction workers and he will bring it up to them.
The checklist was addressed. Mr. Rokeh stated that there will be no additional lighting outside.
D. DeStefano made a MOTION, second by E. Seeler, to ACCEPT THE APPLICATION AS COMPLETE. The motion CARRIED.
Mr. Rokeh explained that they plan on having underground power lines. Mr. Paradis asked how tall the garage will be and was shown on the plan.
J. McGwin made a MOTION, second by E. Seeler, to APPROVE THE MINOR SITE PLAN FOR TURNER’S COTTAGES LLC FOR A 4-BAY GARAGE. The motion CARRIED and the plans and Notice of Decision were signed.
PCC: TOM LEMIEUX – No show.
PCC: SANDRA HEANEY
Ms. Heaney wishes to increase the size of her sign, keeping it within regulations. She wishes to move it closer to the house, also. She was told that she just needs a building permit.
PCC: FRANKLIN SAVINGS
Mr. Paradis explained that they have changed their design from a roof to an awning and received a permission letter from the abutter that could be affected. Mr. McCormick will make the decision on this.

2/28/07
PCC: 86 SUMMER STREET/WOODY MILLER
Mr. Miller explained that a modification was done to bring the slope down so that the paving is wider as you come down. They worked out things with Ms. Seeler, the abutter on that side, and put in 8 trees (Ms. Seeler does not feel that there is enough) instead of doing a berm (which she did not want).
This has created 4 parking spaces in front of the garage/carriage shed. The garage was to be storage space. They would like to change this to be for a used furniture/antiques building (by one of the employees of the Real Estate office. They would not use the 2nd floor for this. They have redone the power to the garage. This would be seasonal and only during the day. There will be no heat.
A discussion was held as to the Variance for parking. Ms. Seeler stated that the dumpster was to be in this garage. Mr. Miller stated that they have found it more convenient to place cans in the basement for this.
Mr. Favorite, who had arrived from another meeting, asked how this was to be advertised if it is just a summer attraction. He was told that they would put a sign on the garage. Mr. Favorite thought that parking could become a thoroughfare. Ms. Seeler said that she will be exposed to the new parking as there is not enough screening. Right now it is okay but this summer will be different.
Mr. Paradis was concerned about the parking in the setback. Mr. Miller stated that he could put curbing up to keep the setback. The area was already paved as it was the old entry across Ms. Seeler’s property. Ms. Seeler stated that drainage is worse coming down her driveway now. Mr. Miller felt that he could probably put in 3 more trees.
Ms. Seeler asked about the pile of bricks that are there. Mr. Miller did not know of them but will look into it. Mr. Paradis stated that parking is a problem as it is a zoning issue. They are adding square feet. It was then mentioned to him that Corey Johnston said that the square footage was part of the site plan. Ms. Seeler and Mr. Paradis explained that it was but as storage with different parking requirements. A discussion was held as to the parking issue. Mr. Paradis felt that, though there is an increase in the parking requirement, they have more than enough additional parking spaces to cover this. Mr. Paradis asked where the melting snow goes and was told that it goes to the drainage system. They plan on lining the parking lot after the top coat is done. Ms. DellaCroce asked if a driveway was different for setbacks. Mr. Paradis stated that setbacks are for buildings only. He then read Section 8.5H of the Site Plan regulations.
Ms. Seeler pointed out where the trees have been planted and Mr. Miller said that they consist of white pine and hemlock, about 7’ tall. Mr. Paradis would like to see the setback area blocked off.
D. DeStefano made a MOTION, second by S. Favorite, to ALLOW THIS CHANGE AS A MINOR SITE PLAN. The motion CARRIED with one abstention and Mr. Miller was given the appropriate application.
MINUTES OF JANUARY 24, 2007: The following amendments and clarifications were made.
Page 1, under ATTENDING, replace "Denice DellaCroce" with "Denice DeStefano". In the next to last paragraph, at the end, replace "price" with "cost to the residential users."
Page 2, first full paragraph, 2nd line, following "RSA" insert "and Supreme Court rulings".
Page 3, 3rd paragraph, 2nd line, replace "it" with "the drainage path". In line 10, replace the first "it" with "the flow". In paragraph 4, 1st line, insert "to easements" after "Parties".
