COMMUNICATIONS:
Beechwood Subdivision Sketch Plan/Design Dwellings, Inc. – Map 6, Lot 89D, 270 Bonny Eagle Road
James Seymour, Civil Engineer from Sebago Technics, was present representing Design Dwellings Inc., owned by Susan Duchaine. He displayed a sketch plan for a 12 lot subdivision located off Route 35 and Spear Road. The project is located in the residential zone and they are proposing it to be a cluster subdivision. Lots 2 through 12 will be under the cluster subdivision and Lot 1 will be a conventional lot. Lot 1 will be accessed via the access to the subdivision.
He further stated that this project is within the watershed of Bonny Eagle Pond and will be meeting with DEP again. Right now they are in the design process. The rear of the property has been left open for open space. There is a small corner that may be within the flood zone associated with Bonny Eagle Pond. If it is a Zone A, they will make a determination of the flood elevation. It will not affect any of the lots being proposed as they are outside of the flood zone.
The field work has been done and they are in the process of mapping the information into a better plan. He said he welcomed comments from the members.
Bud Benson, Planning Administrator, said that Lot #1 needed more discussion. There is also a phosphorus issue, DEP stormwater, etc. Bud indicated that each lot needed to be 40,000 sq. ft of developable land.
Susan Duchaine approached the podium and said that the owner of the property is selling the parcel in two pieces and it wouldn’t trigger subdivision. She said that Lot #1 has the frontage on Route 35 but the driveway will be off the access road within the subdivision because of cost constraints. Bud said that the way subdivision law is written, it would have to be counted as a lot in the past 5 years and needs to be shown. Susan said the lot can be considered, and she has done it in the past, is that the lot can be considered, but not treated as a lot within the subdivision. Bud said if it was sold in two pieces, it would trigger an amendment to a subdivision. Susan questioned what subdivision plan was Bud referring? It is the Asa Kimball Subdivision and it needs to be amended. Mr. Benson also said that the location of the proposed driveway needs to be 185’ from the last driveway in the area.
Chair, Carol Billington, scheduled the proposal for workshop next Monday, April 10th, at the municipal offices.
