July 2, 1996
PRESENT: John Taylor (chair), Richard Bradford, Ed Gill, Jack Hughes, Louise Long, Chris Quinn, George
Sagar, Quanda Turner
PUBLIC: Joel Brinkley, Margaret Hauth
Taylor called the meeting to order at 6:33 pm.
ITEM #2: Gill reported that the Park and Recreation Board visited some town -owned properties to discuss
their potential use as parks. He noted that some have more potential than others and there is a
lot that was previously established as a park, but needs maintenance. Sagar reported that the
Board of Adjsutment aproved a Conditional Use Permit for a duplex on Turner Street. Taylor
asked if everyone agreed with delaying the September meeting until the 10th to avoid the Labor
Day holiday and allow Hauth to be out of town. The members agreed.
ITEM #3: Gill moved to approve the May and June minutes. Hughes seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4: Hauth introduced Brinkley, out-of-town candidate for the Planning Board. Hauth apologized
for not having his application copied for the members. She added there is another candidate
who could not attend this meeting, but will be interviewed in August. They asked Brinkley to
describe his training and interest in serving.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced the draft text amendments to Section 3 of the Subdivision Regulations. She
noted that most of the changes are at the end, specifying that the use of a bond or other
guarentee is not a right and specifying phasing requirements. Bradford asked Hauth to double
check with the attorney regarding the wording of 3.G (bonding). He expressed concern about
the Commissioners authorizing the sale of lots as opposed to approving the Final Subdivision
Plat. Hauth described a current situation where an escrow agreement was used, it has expired,
and the improvements are n of in place. Hughes asked how this language is an improvement.
Hauth said because it requires the applicant to request permission rather than assume
improvements can be guarenteed.
The members discussed other points in the text. Changes to the review timeline were questions
and members wanted to be sure the 85 or 90 day timeline was sufficient for both boards to
complete their reviews. Hauth said it allowed both Planning and Town Boards to review the
plans for two meetings.
ITEM #6: Hauth introduced the draft text amendments, to allow up to four units per lot if the zoning
district density is not increased. She noted the draft also clarifies efficiency and accessory
apartments as well.
MOTION: Hughes moved to send the text amendments to public hearing in July. Turner seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Taylor adjourned the meeting at 7:35 pm.
