Fryeburg Planning Board
Minutes – May 29, 2007  

Board members present were Gene Bergoffen, Carol Gregory, Ed Price and Kathleen Heggie. Mike Holtgrefe was excused.

The meeting was called to order and a quorum was declared. The order of the agenda was changed.

Pensco Trust

The public hearing for Pensco Trust was opened. A note had been added to the plan to limit access to Parcel A from Mountain Road only. There were no further comments and the hearing was closed.

The Board then reviewed the standards of Section 21 of the Land Use Ordinance. The applicant was requesting two waivers. One for the sidewalk requirement and the other for allowing rebar monuments.

Kathleen Heggie made a motion to approve the application with the two requested waivers. Carol Gregory seconded the motion. The application was approved unanimously, with the requested waivers.

Preliminary Discussion - Gary Whitten Property

The next item discussed was a pre-application review for a proposed three lot subdivision on Jordans Camp Road. The lots would range in size from 1.25 to 1.33 acres. Access would be limited to Jordans Camp Road. Items that the Board would be looking for at the next meeting were road use, road maintenance and any proposed covenants.

Parmenter Request for Zoning Change

The discussion then moved to the Parmenter request for a zoning change. Gene Bergoffen read a letter from David Knapp expressing his personal opinions into the record. Code Enforcement Officer, Boni Rickett, informed the Board of what information she had found out regarding spot zoning. It would be legal to create spot zoning if the change was consistent with the comprehensive plan.

The Board has three options to consider. The first is to deny the request. The second option is to forward the request to the Board of Selectmen without the Planning Board’s approval which would require a 2/3 vote at town meeting to pass. The last option is to forward the request to the Board of Selectmen with the Planning Board’s approval which would require a majority vote at town meeting to pass.

Carol Gregory then made a motion to forward the request to the Board of Selectmen with the Planning Board’s recommendation for approval. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.

Comprehensive Planning Update

The Planning Board receiving no support from the Board of Selectmen will withdraw efforts to update the plan and will draft a letter supporting the update to the Selectmen.

Wellhead Protection District

Gene Bergoffen read the remaining portion of the letter from David Knapp. The Board discussed the actual withdrawal amounts. The model zones were based on 500,000 gpd (FW1) and 100,000gpd (WE). The Board felt the need to increase the WE well to 103,000gpd to be consistent with a total of 603,000gpd. The Board also decided to include all four public wells within Zone A.

A motion was made to revise the proposal to include all four wells in Zone A, as well as, using the 500/103gpd assumptions and add in a section to the Land Use Ordinance that would require the Planning Board to annually review the withdrawal amounts. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. A public hearing for those changes was scheduled for June 13, 2007.

Administrative Matters

Ed Price made a motion to elect Kathleen Heggie as Vice Chair. Carol Gregory seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.

Kathleen Heggie made a motion to reaffirm the election of Gene Bergoffen as Chairman. Carol Gregory seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Meeting was adjourned.
