Waiver of Site Plan Regulations:
Sylvia Bundza - Request for a waiver of site plan regulations for the use of the property located at addressStreet119 Main Street (location of the former AJ Variety Store). Mrs. Bundza proposed to use the site for a store selling merchandise consisting of ladies and teens clothing; ornamental swords, knifes, lighers, jewelry, various ladies sundries, soaps, candles,statues, toys, shoes, men’s clothing, hospital scrubs, handbags, scarfs, cards, videos, pictures, paintings, souvenirs, postcards, knickknacks, and incense.

Mrs. Bundza stated no adult toys or other sexual adult items will be for sale. Edward Carrier made a motion to approve the waiver; Joe Ippolito
seconded and all present agreed. Mrs. Bundza was advised that, should there be a problem regarding this site in the future, the Planning Board had the right to ask for a full site plan review and public hearing. APPROVED
Boundary Line Adjustment Public Hearing:
Cory Phillips & David and Rebecca Hodge – Chairman Ouellet read the application indicating a proposed boundary-line adjustment between Cory Phillips property, identified as R11 Lot 53 on the Colebrook Tax Map, and David and Rebecca Hodge’s property, identified as R11 Lot 73. This boundary line adjustment will add 4.59 acres to the Hodge property. Sandra Riendeau made a motion to approve the plan as presented. Joe Ippolito seconded the motion and all present agreed. #637
New Business:
It was brought to the Board’s attention that, if someone is building on a state highway, the applicant should be aware of the distance of the state's right-of-way. Even though a structure might meet our requirement of being twenty feet from the boundary line, it still might fall within the state’s right-of-way on some roads. This just recently occurred on addressStreetCarlton Hill Road.
An approval for construction of a septic system for William Miller on addressStreetBear Rock Road was reviewed.
Old Business:
Colebrook Holding LLC (K Corp) – Earlier this month, Mr. St. Germain brought in a copy of the plan indicating the placement of the building, parking and etc. to the Town Clerk to be filed with the Registry of Deeds. In the past, the Board has required a site plan to be recorded when the site begins with a barren lot. The renovation of an existing business has not required one to be filed with the Registry. Joe Ippolito and Edward Carrier agreed that the Board is very lenient. Edward also remarked about his concerns regarding the loading dock and wondered if there should be a time limit for trucks. It was agreed that Mike Ouellet will contact Mr. St. Germain later this week.
The Board was made aware that Kenneth Magoon had called expressing concern over the construction occurring on Alan Noyes’ property on addressStreetDiamond Pond Road. A building permit was approved for Mr. Noyes at the June 5th meeting, conditional on receipt of a state approval for construction of a septic system. Mr. Noyes was sent a letter on June 6th advising that he should not begin construction until an approval for construction is received in the Town Clerk’s office. Apparently the foundation has been completed and backfilled. More to Mr. Magoon’s concern is that his water line which crosses Mr. Noyes’ property has been ripped out. He has spoken to both Mr. Noyes and designer Mr. Wells to no avail. Mike Ouellet remarked that Mr.
Noyes had alluded to the water line on his building application and the fact that it should not be disturbed. Joe Ippolito stated he felt this was definitely a civil issue and the remaining Board members were in agreement.
CN Brown – Mike Ouellet read the June 6th letter to Mr. Moore of CN Brown regarding the placement of the “Entrance Only” sign, along with the words to be painted on the pavement, at the Colebrook facility on addressStreetMain Street. It was noted that the letter did not contain a specific date stating when the sign should be put up to avoid being in violation of the site plan.
Michael Bouchard – Chairman Ouellet stated that Mr. Bouchard had received his letter regarding the completion of his building and plans to finish the building by October 1, 2006.
Michard Robinson – Chairman Ouellet read Attorney Putnam of Gardner, Fulton and Waugh answer to the Board’s correspondence regarding Michael Robinson’s site on Route 3 North. It was felt a clearer explantion was needed, in particular, how much of the site plan must be followed in regards to shrubs, signage, lighting, etc. Joe Ippolito stated he felt the site was being used as a storage lot, not as a used car lot. Attorney Waugh will be asked to review the issue once more.
James Alton- At the last meeting, Irene Bean had offered to check out the height of the fence in possible violation on this property. She found it to be a five-foot portable horse enclosure. It was believed that the people renting the property from Mr. Alton would be in; however, they did not attend the meeting. It was not known if the horses belong to the renters, of if horses are being boarded at this residence. Kevin McKinnon asked if agricultural use of the property is exempt from the site plan process. Joe Ippolito made a motion to ask the Board of Selectmen to have the health officer check the complaint that manure is running into Al Griffin’s spring. Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
Sandra Riendeau made a motion, seconded by Benoit Lamontagne to approve the May 15th Planning Board minutes. Joe Ippolito made a motion, seconded by Kevin McKinnon, to approve the June 5th minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin McKinnon
