1070 Os~ood Street - Site Plan Review
Scott Stocking, Town Planner spoke to the Board with regards to issues that
have to be addressed.
1. permit for traffic light to expire shortly
2. no response from FAA regarding building in the area and whether it
poses a problem
A concern of John Simons was "is the proposed site in the watershed district?"
After a lengthy discussion between the Board, Jim Bourgeois, Channel Building,
Tom Neve and Buddy Cyr on whether it is in the watershed district and which
way the water flows, the cencensus was that water flows to the Merrimack
River. As far as the watershed distri~ issue:
1. Technical support is needed
2. Board taking issue with determination
Erich Nitzsche had two concerns to be addressed:
1. curbing along the down stream edge of the parking lot be be placed
2. no building permits issued until sewer construction is complete and
approved by DPW
A variance may be needed from the Board of Appeals because the map shows it
to be in the watershed district.
MOTION:

By John Burke to allow the Town Planner to draw up a conditional
approval subject to going to the Board of Appeals and to close the
