  1. New Business

2.1 The LUO certification for the new LUO was tabled.

2.2 The business permit application of the Halverson’s B&B was reviewed and discussed with them. It was pointed out that the application needed to be signed by the owner. It was determined that this was a Home Business as described in LUO 200.3. As such it requires a Site Review and section XII of the Site Review Regulations were discussed at length and for each item it was determined which were applicable and how they could be addressed by the applicants. The Halverson’s are to provide the additional information for our next meeting and if complete, a site review will be scheduled and a hearing scheduled.

2.3 The status of the LCHIP Application for funding of the restoration of the doors and windows of the Meeting House was discussed. A motion was duly made seconded and passed “In our efforts to continue implementation of the 2015 Master Plan the Planning Board supports the restoration of the Meetinghouse windows and doors and will include the project in the 2018 CIP Budget.”

2.4 We discussed enforcement of the LUO sign regulations and it was felt by all that there were many violations and enforcement was necessary. The chairman was requested to send a letter to the selectmen to notify them of violations by Lemon Tree, Piper Home Repairs, and Gould Well Co. and request that all non-permitted signs be removed

 

  1. Old Business
    1. The Chidester subdivision is on hold waiting for them to make application.
    2. Bob updated the status of the Municipal Building projects. The Fire Station plans are moving and planned to be finalized this week. Tree cutting had started and DPW is to do the site preparation work. The MH is scheduled to start work August 14th.
    3. Master Plan Update was discussed again and all felt work was necessary but focus was needed to prioritize items so that work could begin. It was suggested that a joint meeting with the selectmen be held so the selectmen could give their guidance.
    4. This was tabled for next month

 

  1. Driveway Permits

4.2 David Shipman application was reviewed and it was noted that the driveway had been installed prior to any application. It was felt the LUO should clearly state fines for installation without approval. It was subsequently inspected and approved by Thayer and Crandall.

“A motion was duly made seconded and passed to approve the application”
