He stated that Granby Way and Estes Drive, 2 roads within Wildlands 2 are ready for a site walk. Carol and the members present discussed possible dates and the site walk was scheduled for Saturday, October 14th at 9:00 a.m. Members will meet at the end of the existing Nature’s Way at the turnaround. Mr. Benson wanted to see the vernal pool and the mitigation area at the end of Granby.
The amended plans, hopefully, will be delivered to the town this week. The plans are in their final stages. Mr. Brown said he had received a new set of comments from Maine DEP relative to septic designs. DEP wanted to see how the septic designs were laid out on the lots. They are adding that material.

01-09-11-06 COTTAGE SETBACK/Wm & Patricia Kachinski – Mp 49, Lot 15, 26 Sand Bar Rd
Shoreland Zoning Review
Mr. and Mrs. Kachinski were present to discuss their project to rebuild and expand their cottage. William came to the podium and said he had questions. He referred to his plot plan and said they would like to have a screened porch some place, perhaps 8’ x 12’ along the front of the cottage. He asked if they had to move the cottage back 8 ft. in order to build the porch on the front. Mr. Benson said all were in agreement at the site walk to have the cottage line up with the porches on the cottages next door. Mr. Kachinski said they couldn’t go back any more. Currently they are looking at a 24’ x 24’ structure and going back another 8 ft. would be encroaching on the wetland. Mr. Benson said that all of the structure should be shown on the site plan
and that includes a porch. Mr. Kachinski asked about a compromise and Mr. Benson said the building could be up to 10’ from the sideline and there was room enough on the lot to do just that. The wetlands wouldn’t interfere with that location and the cottage would still line up with the other cottages.
Carol asked Wayne Newbegin for comment and he stated that discussion about the porch came up during the site walk. He paced off the 32 ft. to the back corner and it wasn’t in the wetlands.
Mr. Kachinski asked if they didn’t go for a porch, there would still be a front entrance. The front entrance would need to have front steps. Would they have to move the cottage back 4 ft. in order to have front steps. Carol and Bud said the steps are considered a structure and they wouldn’t be able to have them closer to the water. They could be built on the side.
Next, Mr. Kachinski spoke about the boat house being moved back. At the walk, discussion centered around moving it back and putting a foundation and cement floor under it. He wasn’t aware that the boat house needed to be moved over. Moving it would mean it lined up with the front of the camp. At the present time, he wants to rehab it where it sets. Isn’t this an option? Carol Billington explained that the boathouse didn’t have to be part of the application, but if he did work on the building other than routine maintenance, he would need to come back to the Board for approval. Foundation work would need to come to the planning board for approval. Bud referred him to the code officer to ask about what work was considered maintenance.
Mr. Kachinski said the boathouse will be staying right where it is and he would be putting siding on the building. Carol said that was maintenance. Carol asked if the boathouse was not shown on the plan where it would be moved to at some time in the future, Mr. Kachinski would they need to come back to the Planning Board. Mr. Benson stated if they were considering moving the building to the maximum practical extent, a note needed to be on the plan making it clear why that was on the plan. Bud said the boathouse should either be removed from the plan or explained (with a note on the plan) why it is located where it is. John Porter, builder, came forward and said he was unclear what the applicant wanted built. Carol said because no vote could be taken tonight, it could be discussed at
the workshop meeting scheduled for October 16, 2006. A vote could be taken then. She asked that any changes they wanted done, be drawn on the new plan, if one was needed.
Mr. Kachinski said he didn’t know what the Code Officer would approve. Bud reminded the Kachinski’s that the approval was good for 6 months only. They agreed to come back to the next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
01-10-01-06 RETAIL SALES & SERVICE/Richard Wing & Son, Inc. – Map 14, Lot 46, 80 Fort Hill Rd
Site Plan Amendment
John Emerson appeared before the members and gave each member present a set of photographs taken from different angles showing the retail building of Richard Wing & Son Logging. He said the Wings are asking for approval of a storage building 30’ x 28’ at the rear of the present building. He referred to the photographs he distributed and provided commentary for each one. The new building will have a cement floor, 12 ft. high walls and will be used primarily to store redundant mechanical equipment used in their logging operation. He asked if the members present had questions. Bud suggested a site walk if it was necessary. He also said no vote could take place tonight. Carol Billington said if any member wasn’t familiar with the site, to view it on his/her
own. Mr. Emerson said that the State of Maine intended to install a sidewalk from the Village (on the Edna Libby School side of the road) almost to the cemetery and then into the school.
Carol reminded the members that there was a workshop scheduled for October 16th. At the beginning of that meeting, there will be a short Planning Board Meeting to approve minutes, Findings of Fact and approve any old or new business items. On October 17th, there is a joint meeting with the Ordinance Committee. Council Chairman, Terry Christy, wants to hold a meeting with Town Council, Planning Board and Comprehensive Plan Committee to discuss the Comprehensive Plan approval.
The meeting concluded.
These minutes were prepared and submitted by Donna Sawyer, Secretary to the Planning Board.
