Present: Bruce Simpson, Peter Imhoff, Scott Swanson, Bill Goodwin, and Neil Sandford.

7:00~~~~~~Charles Pillsbury - Site Plan Review issue
The Board was advised by Paul Waterman, Code Enforcement and Health Officer, that he had received a septic inspection report from Sharon Monahan, a copy of the plans for the current septic system, and a copy of the record of the system being pumped, and had talked with abutters. ~Based on these, he felt that the current system was sufficient for the change of use back to 3 apartments.~ As this was the only concern of the Planning Board, Bruce moved to waive site plan review.~ Seconded by Peter. Motion passed.
~7:15~~~~~~Thomas and Anne Blodgett – Continuation of hearing on Lot line Adjustment/Minor Subdivision
The Blodgetts appeared, as did their neighbor Holly Nagy, her attorney Norman MacKechnie, and Butch Sundstrom.~ As the plan was not yet complete, no decision was made on the application and the hearing was continued to November 20.~ All present held an informal discussion concerning driveway access to the new lot and to other lots served by Stonelea Lane.~ The consensus of the Board was that if language was be placed in deeds and on the Plan making it clear that a ROW over Stonelea Lane was held by several parties pursuant to a prior unwritten agreement among family members, it would likely prevent disputes in the future. ~The exact wording of the ROW rights would have to be worked out among the parties. The Board also noted that addition of more lots on the road may require the PB to consider if there are safety
issues with the access over Stonelea Lane.

7:45~~~~~ John Newcombe -~Lot Line Adjustment - Stone Pond
~The Board found that the application and Plan met the requirements of the ordinance; the application was approved, conditioned upon full payment of application and notice fees by the applicant.
~8:00~~~~~ Verizon Wireless - Consultation re co-location antenna on Beech Hill Tower
~Aaron Rozenick appeared for Verizon with a request to place some additional antennas on the lowest rack of the smaller cell tower on Beech Hill, and install a generator in the compound area.~ The antennas will be hidden behind the ersatz pine branches and there will be very little, if any, visual impact.~ The generator will operate only a few hours a week or during power outages, and will not be audible from any residences.
~After discussion and review of the ordinance, the consensus of the Board was that the proposal was a minor one in keeping with the original approval allowing three rings of camouflaged antennas, and with the express language in the ordinance encouraging co-location instead of the erection of additional towers. ~Neil felt that, to the extent that Section XVII E(3) might be construed to require a full reapplication, the Board should waive such requirement.~ So moved by Neil, seconded by Scott, Motion passed.
~Bruce moved that a full application/site plan review not be required as the use was within the terms of the original approval and conditional use permit, and that the installation of the generator and the additional antennas, camouflaged as indicated in the materials provided to the Board, be allowed. ~Seconded by Bill, Motion passed. ~
~
8:45~~~~~ NE Windowmaster - Consultation re expansion of business site on Rte 101
~
David Voorhis appeared for WindowMaster, a light industrial use on Rte 101, with a proposal to build an addition to his current building and to create a new parking lot.~ The Board agreed that this was a permitted use under the Table of Uses. ~Although part of the current building is non-conforming because it is inside the 35’ setback, the entire addition will be clear of the setback area, and so will not make the property more nonconforming.
~With regard to site plan review, it was decided that individual members of the Board will visit the site at their convenience prior to the 11/20 meeting to get a sense if site plan review will be necessary, especially with regard to traffic, drainage, and buffering issues.~ Discussion on the issue will resume at 7:45 on 11/20.
~Meeting adjourned at 9:15 pm.
