VOTE : All in favor
Motion carried
WOOD ! I will bring the Negative Declaration to the February 24 meeting
to be signed . The Planning Board has been designated the Lead Agency and the
Chairman will be directed to sign the statement as representative of the Lead
Agency . The statement should then be sent to the County Health Department
and anyone else who needs to issue a permit .
TOTMAN8 We should lay down some ground rules . His his application he
told us he was going to require in the deeds the homes were going to be atd
To
least $ 60 000 or required square footage to meet inflation . He has / c mp y - %,
q q g l
with the Town requirements for new roads . Another thing he wante to do is
he would like to sell the lots along the road that don ' t require a new road first
so he can use that capital to build the new road .
TWIGG : He doesn ' t need the new road until he starts building on the
back lots .
WOOD : Before you approve the /F� a the road has to be built and approved
by the Town . You could approve this contingent on the construction of the road
meets the Town specifications .
RANKIN : Will the Town accept that ?
WOOD : What you might consider is to get all the things together and
do a Resolution that itemizes this . You could require lots 2 & 3 have a drive -
way on the new road to minimize traffic on the existing road . It would reduce
the number of intersections into traffic patterns .

Groton , Tax Map No . 121 - 1 - 21 . 2 with the following stipulations :

3 . Lots 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 8 & 9 will have driveways leading to the new road ,
not into the existing highway .
4 . Proposed new road must meet Town Highway specifications before lots
2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 8 & 9 may be sold .

M . POST seconded the motion : r.
VOTE : All in favor
Motion carried
PROPOSED MINOR SUB -DIVISION by Richard Turner , Champlin Rd . , town of Groton :
TOTMAN : A Public Hearing is set for February 24 on the Turner proposal .
One lot is 150 feet ; the other two are okay . One lot has a crook in it of 25
feet where the garage is on . We questioned whether the father would sell to
the son to make he lot 175 feet ; he agreed to that . There is a question
because the lots don ' t all have the right frontage that we can ' t deal with it
as a sub -division . I went through the Ordinance and as far as I see the Planning
Board has the authority to make variations for sub -divisions . ( Sections 270 ,
281 and 290 ) .
WOOD : I agree but you can ' t create a non- conforming lot .
TOTMAN : We will proceed with the Public Hearing and proceed from there .
Respectfully submitted ,
