Review and Consideration of Minutes
Minutes of August 18th were approved with the correction that Bob Hodges was seated for Bill Duffy.
Receipt of Applications:
Soaring Goose LLC dropped off an application for a Special Exception. There were no one in attendance at the meeting so the Board reviewed the application and made a motion to table the discussion because the application is not complete, vote was unanimous. The ZA secretary will reach out to Doug Webb and request additional information along with an abutters list.
William Heselton (Map9/Lot45) presented an application for a Special Exception to establish +-2.9acres junk yard located about 500’ from County Road. The Board reviewed the application and had a few questions. In terms of pollution, William will be following State regulation, Brooks also informed William of the Green Yard program and William said he will look into this as well. Sonny Harris has completed soil testing and he will bring his findings to the public hearing. William plans on using this property for auto and scrap medal, a small one man show.
The board feels this application meets the requirements for a Special Exception and has set up a Public Hearing for October 12th at 7:00pm; the ZBA secretary will send out letters to all abutters as well as post around Town. There will also a site walk that is open to the public scheduled for October 11th at 4:00pm.
Old business:
Brooks typed up a Findings of Fact and Statement of Reasons for Approval of a Variance for Map 22/ Lot 16 that the Board reviewed and will be filed in the chart.
New business:
There is a 2-day practical Course being held by the National Business Institute called Land Use and Zoning from Start to Finish. This seminar cost $575.00, so the Board decided they will not be sending a representative.
As there was no additional business to come before the board, meeting adjourned at 7:28PM.
