5. Robert Burns -
Resource-based subdivision pre-application, Map R-1,
Burns presented his application for a resource-based subdivision for property that he has under contract. He stated for the record that this was a functional division of five units because the units existed before zoning. He plans to reduce that into four lots, all 2.5 acres or greater. Four or five acres are in the Resource Protection district and are part of the 10 acres that will be owned in common and devoted to tree growth and forest management.
The access will not be changed. Several abutters have easements through the property and will become members of the road association and share in maintenance costs. Burns will submit a letter from the engineer regarding the Frye access to the road, indicating that after expanding the road thirty feet, safety concerns will be eliminated. Jarryl Larson said that a turnaround for emergency vehicles would be necessary.
The farmhouse on the property will probably be torn down, the barn is in good condition and the cottages are salvageable, but an owner may prefer to demolish and build a single-family house. There will be more than two acres per residential unit.
The wetlands study and soils report were submitted.
A site visit will be held on October 23 at

Barry Hathorne moved to find the application complete with the exception of the authorization letter and responses. Vote 5-0-0. David Boucher moved that Barry Hathorne and Jarryl Larson meet Burns for a visit to this property after the site walk scheduled on October 23 for the Sunset Vista property. Vote 5-0-0.
7. Other Business
The Appeals Board ordinance will be discussed at the next meeting following the board’s review of the state statutes, Title 30A, Sections 2691 and 4353.
David Nutt advised that according to the Blasting Ordinance application, blasting of more than 100 cu. ft. must be approved by the planning board and that the board had not approved the blasting taking place on the Rioux property. He said that Helen Weld was concerned that the blasting would affect her well. Jack French said the person doing the blasting had to make application to the selectmen and would be responsible for any damage. David Boucher said that the subdivision approval included an approval of construction of the road, including topos existing and proposed. The planning board could not know at that time how much material would be blasted. David Nutt said it was imperative that monitoring take place on the Salt Cove project. Jack French reported that the town’s engineer was monitoring the project and suggested that Nutt could call the CEO and report this potential violation.
