Todd and Renay Burnim – requesting

Residential-Agricultural District, Article 8.2, III, B, and Septic Regulations
3.8.D, a., 6 and 3.c and d. Attorney
Pelech and Mr. Anderson met with the Board.
Attorney Pelech gave a history of the property, explaining that it was a
buildable lot in 1986 with septic approval, but Mr. Reilly did not build at
that time and the septic regulations have since changed. Joan Skewes discussed the potential impact
to the wetlands, and Attorney Pelech suggested deed restrictions that could
limit the impact. He agreed to send a
copy of restrictive covenants for the Board to review. Chairman Dan Chaisson stated he would like a
review of the plan by the Town’s Engineer or John Krebs at the Rockingham
Planning Commission, particularly protection of the wetlands. Paul Kimball moved to continue R. S.
Sanderson Builders to September 4, 2001, seconded by Joan Skewes with all in
favor.
Preliminary Consultation –
Lorraine Hale – building on non-conforming lots. The Board reviewed the tax maps regarding the potential for
buildable lots. Joan Skewes explained
that although they were lots of record, soil work would be needed as well as
test pits and septic design to show that the lots would support an adequate
septic system. Ms. Hale will also need
a variance from Article 8.2 II A&B and she will check with the Road Agent
to determine driveways and or roads.
Modification of the variance worksheets – Board members reviewed additional information regarding the recent changes regarding determination of hardship. Following discussion, the members agreed the work sheets currently allowed for the recent changes and no changes were needed at this time.
