Wales Planning Board Meeting

December 10, 2007

Minutes

 

In Attendance:  Alice DiPaolo (WPB Chair), Lori Blier (WPB Secretary), Eric Gagnon (WPB Co-Chair), Lyndon Spaulding (WPB), Roger Ouellette

 

 

Ø      The meeting was called to order at 7:08.  Lori distributed the minutes and copies of the Site Plan Review Application Checklist.  The minutes were reviewed by board members and accepted as written. 

Ø      Roger Ouellette was invited to make his presentation on his development activities on his property on Route 126 (Map R4, Lot 16).  His primary purpose in attending was to get authorization for his power hook up.  He distributed copies of a plan outlining details of the development.  He envisions 2 apartments and up to 4 small businesses.  He feels this development will be good for Wales.  He has resubmitted the driveway permit application and has added a second entrance to that request.  Alice noted that when a site plan is submitted it should be a site plan with a signature block of the preparer.  The board also noted we had not yet seen a deed for the property.  Lori noted that while the plan needs to have the name and address of the preparer of the plan, the preparer of the plan does not have to have a professional seal (only if applicable). 

Ø      The board reviewed the plan submitted by Mr. Ouellette and went down through the Site Plan Review checklist.  The plan would need to be updated to include the title block, a location map, and a signature block for the board’s final approval.  A copy of the deed will also cover a number of the other items on the checklist.  Numbers 5 was covered with the DEP map site visits made by DEP.  We indicated we needed additional information for #9.  Numbers 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, and 27 were not considered applicable in this instance; and we requested that he add as much detail as possible on the plan for #11.  Numbers 3, 6, 12, 17, 18, 19, 23, 28 were considered adequate on the existing plan.  There was discussion on the storm water management plan and it was determined we still required one even though most of the development has already been completed.  He indicated he may be expanding the parking lot if DEP approves it, so that would also have to be factored in.  Items that still need to be addressed when he returns for his final approval are #1, #2, #4, #9, #11, #21, #22, #24, #25, and #26.  Numbers 4, 22, and 26 will be covered with a copy of the deed.  Mr. Ouellette left with a copy of the checklist with the remaining requirements and will be contacting us in a couple months when he has a complete plan to present.

Ø      Next regular meeting will be on January 14, 2007.  The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Lori Blier, Secretary
