September 8, 2002 Site Walk
Approved November 5, 2002
Members Present: Dan Chaisson, Joan Skewes,
Paul Kimball, and John Ronan
Site walk conducted at 9:30
am at the properties of Rosencrantz, South Road, Kensington, NH.
Members
walked the site. There were questions regarding the building of the
berm. Applicants indicated the Selectmen had walked the site and asked to
have equipment removed from lot and to construct the berm. The berm was
constructed approximately two months ago; it is approximately 18 feet high and
heavily vegetated.
Applicants
also indicated the trailers have been on the site since the 1970's. The
proposed building construction will be similar to what is already on site except
larger. Lights have been used on the
existing buildings due to problems with theft. They have recently changed
over to mercury lights. Applicants indicated all the existing equipment
on site would be placed in the building except for equipment trailers,
landscape trailers, hay wagons and hay mowers. An abutter, Mr. Chetsas,
expressed the following: he has lived on the property for seven years; trailers
were not on the site when he first moved to Kensington; he never had an
issue with the Rosencrantz until one year ago; he has heard machinery,
trucks, and equipment backing up and beeping; and he has contacted the police
when he heard equipment late at night. Mr. Chetsas brought up the issue
of the property not having the frontage, noise was an issue, and the lot is
non-conforming. Kevin Rosencrantz
indicated they were not going to purchase the property if they are unable to
obtain the zoning change for the Wesley Rosencrantz property. Dan Chaisson motioned to continue the
meeting until the next regularly scheduled meeting in October, the first
Tuesday in October. Paul Kimball
seconded, motion carried.
