Christian Fletcher (Cappy Rentals) – Two structures on property on Rte 145 where a yellow house currently sets (old Lawrence Bean house). The town has taxed this property as a single parcel since the 1970’s; however, the deed indicates “Parcel 1, 2 & 3”. Mr. Fletcher indicated he wished to place a 1,200 square foot two or three bedroom home on the 40’ x 90’ tract and a 1,200 square foot three or four bedroom home on the 55’ x 79.28’ tract. The application indicated the structures would be served by town sewer. He is looking to sell the two lots once the structures are completed and keep one lot for himself. It was noted that no driveway permits had been obtained from the Department of Transporation for the two lots upon which the new structures would
set.
It was a consensus of the Board that no decision be made on these applications until the driveway and septic systems issues are resolved.
Derwood McKeage III – 12’ x 60’ trailer, for storage purposes only, to be placed on the property at 207 Hartlen Avenue (R9 Lot 121). Roland Cotnoir made a motion to approve the permit with the stipulation no water or sewer would be present within the structure; Irene Bean seconded and all present agreed. APPROVED - #2008-52

Colin Brown – Questioned if a pre-existing 100’ x 100’ out-of-precinct lot could be used for placement of a storage shed. The Board agreed that this would be acceptable as long as no running water or sewer was placed within the structure.
Subdivision Public Hearing;
Heather Baillargeon – Chairman Ouellet read the application for a two-lot subdivision of the property owned by Heather Baillargeon, located on Titus Hill Road, identified on the Colebrook Tax Maps as 251-16 (formerly R9 Lot 99). A waiver in regards to five-foot contours was requested. The subdivision plan indicated that the property being subdivided lied both within the township of Colebrook and Columbia. This proposed subdivision creates lots which could be accessed from the approximate 800’ of Jackson Road, extending from Titus Hill Road to the town line for Columbia. The plan indicates that Jackson Road is a Class VI road, owned but not maintained by the Town of Colebrook.
Roland Cotnoir made a motion, seconded by Sandra Riendeau, to approve waiving the contours. The motion was approved with a voice vote with one abstention (RC). Sandra Riendeau made a motion to approve the subdivision as presented; Irene Bean seconded and all present agreed.. #660
Sheldon & Elaine Gray – Chairman Ouellet read the application for a two-lot subdivision of Sheldon & Elaine Gray’s property located on Route 26, identified on the Colebrook Tax Maps as 254-44 (formerly R11 Lot 93). A waiver from soil test pits and contours were requested. It was noted that a test pit was indicated on the newly proposed lot.
Sandra Riendeau made a motion that the request for waivers be approved; Kevin McKinnon seconded and all present agreed. Kevin McKinnon made a motion, seconded by Roland Cotnoir, to approve the subdivision as presented and all present agreed. #661
Conceptual Subdivision:
Brian LaPerle – Mr. LaPerle questioned the Board as to whether he needed to do a subdivision or boundary-line adjustment of his property on Lambert Drive to obtain the property delineations he wished. The Board agreed a subdivision would be necessary.
New Business:
45th Parallel EMS - Clay Hinds appeared to discuss the plans for the site on Ramsay Road. It was noted that he had received a site plan, building, driveway and sign application. Due to the fact the 45th Parallel EMS Board would like to expedite this matter, it was agreed that a public site plan hearing would be held at a special meeting on Monday, July 28, 2008. The meeting will be so warned.
Shawn Kopp’s Certificate of Occupancy was signed. Fire Chief Brooks had indicated the camper contained a propane furnace, therefore, did not apply for inspection.
