R. S.
Sanderson Builders continuance– requesting variances from provisions of the
Wetland Conservation District, Article 7.5, Sections C & D, Specific
Requirements of the Residential-Agricultural District, Article 8.2, III, B, and
Septic Regulations 3.8.D, a., 6 and 3.c and d.
Attorney Pelech and Brad Jones of Jones and Beach Engineering met with
the Board, presenting final plans. Attorney
Pelech explained that a Wetland Scientist had certified and stamped the plans,
both wells had been located, the no-cut area had been increased to 30 feet and
the limited cut area to 15 feet, the existing septic system had been located
and the existing building was marked to be removed. The Board again reviewed the restrictions to be filed with the
deed. The no-cut area will be flagged
with orange fencing to be easily visible prior to construction and the building
permit restrictions are to be reviewed completely prior to the start of any
construction. Dan Chaisson moved that they
accept the plan, seconded by John Sargent with all in favor. Katherine Clark expressed concerns about
enforcement due to the fragility of the land and the importance of wetlands. Joan Skewes explained
that the Conservation Commission could enforce the restrictions. Paul Kimball moved to approve the variances
with the following conditions: 1) The
no-cut zone is clearly delineated during the construction process with orange
construction fencing for inspection purposes to be in place prior to excavation
and throughout the process, and deed restrictions are incorporated with the
deed. Dan Chaisson seconded the motion
with all in favor.
