Mr. Critch presented two authorization letters, 1. from Debbie Dimond and 2. from Mike Carter.
Mr. Critch advised the existing property consists of two lots, lot 2 where the store is, and lot 3, the storage area in the back. Desire is to consolidate the two lots, take down the three existing buildings and build a larger building. Where the storage bays are now located would be utilized as a parking lot. Today there is about 9000 square feet of buildings; proposal is for 5800 square feet. The proposed building would be a multi use building, with the main function being a grocery store. No architectural plans are available at this time, but the plan is to keep it in the rural character of the neighborhood. The Right of Way is in the deed for TDS. A total of 18 parking spaces were in the plans.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised a special exception could be needed and initially he should be in touch with the Building Inspector. Copies of the plans were left for the board members to look at.

Skip McKean came before the planning board regarding putting in another propane tank next to the existing one that was approved in August 1990. This tank would be a 30,000 gallon size. The State and Bradford Fire Department input would be required. Since this would be an addition, a Modified Site Plan would be required. Mr. McKean was requested to bring in an updated Site Plan showing any changes he may have made.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised that the submission of the application is required three weeks prior to the meeting in which it will be heard. It was also advised that if there were no comments or conditions from the Fire Department, then an approval could be done in one meeting.

Mr. Bussiere advised that some other towns have put in place a reclamation bond.
Motion was made by Barry Wheeler to modify the existing Conditions of Approval to state a Reclamation Bond is posted, plus the stipulation be added to the deed that no lots be sold or transferred until either the road is complete or a Construction bond is in place. This condition will be accepted only with the approval of the Bradford Town Attorney. Bill Glennie Seconded the motion. Phil LaMoreaux, Chair voted Nay. Motion carried 6-0.
