39 ZBA application in ASAP; however, is a variance necessary? Mr. Dolan sited section of the
40 bylaw Section C non-disturb zone - see 6 accessory structures "by less than 25%" is ok, this
41 garage is below 25%. Applicant will try to build in the springtime. Lincoln discussed the 25%
42 issue and that it was updated in a recent bylaw. This situation is based on building a permanent
43 structure in the non-disturb zone. Lincoln to send a letter to ZBA and question whether ZBA
44 thinks this really isn't a zoning issue; therefore, would ZBA consider waiving the variance.

46 longer driveway.

7 The following discussions are impromptu:
8
9 DISCUSSION:
10 Riverview Street subdivision—update.
11 Design houses in flood plain, PB has never set a prescient on this. PB doesn't want to cost the
12 Town money; if same flood conditions exist again the basements are going to be completely full
13 of water etc. PB wants to look at subdivision application without request for variances. Road is
14 not up to Town standards, isn't applicant required to make road up to town standards first? The
15 roadway is plowed by the Town. Lincoln will check into what streets have been accepted.
16 Possibly walls could be added along side of the roadway to prevent 100 flooding.
17
18
19 Update on 40R. Lincoln working w/developer to finalize language and zone itself, developer
20 wants to increase zones and decrease other zones. Curt Bellavance, Director of Community
21 Development has been told to modify some input. Chair wants to make sure no individual will
22 have authority to make the final changes. PB is Special Permitting granting authority and wants
23 to have the final input per their recommendations. PB wants Curt to present to the PB at the next
24 PB meeting (January 16€h) of any changes. Issue is to make sure everyone is on the same page, all
25 parties involved need to be involved in this process. Need one more meeting of the PB
26 subcommittee to be scheduled and get back to PB with time and place of the meeting.
27
28
29 Great Pond Road there are two houses located next to the lake. Lincoln to look into the huge
30 pile of dirt located near stonewalls.
31
32
33 Boston Hill subdivision. Mesiti Development has not done any work on this project; however,
34 look into how many units were approved 95, or 79? Mesiti Development needs to get an
35 extension from Con/Com now if they already haven't done so.
36
37
38 Sharpener's Pond Road, what is happening w/this corner lot? Undersized lot looks like a house
39 could not be placed there.

9
10
1 I There is a new owner of the former General Store, however, the roads in the Old Center are a
12 mess, it's a challenge to deal with putting in under ground utilities, and hope the final design is
13 worth the pain.
14
15
16 Mill buildings on High Street, former Davis & Furber. Property should have been officially
17 sold and closing on property very soon, applicant still wishes to pursue the condo construction. Is
