Item #4 1150 Pequawket Trail/Rocco Leo III-Map 33, Lot 17 Site Plan Application
Mr. Nesbitt asked if there was anyone there from the applicant tonight. There was no one. Mr. Nesbitt stated that a site walk had been done last month and also a workshop that went very well. He stated that Mr. Leo had given the Board a new site plan that is used to create motor vehicles sales and a mechanics repair garage in Steep Falls Village. He stated that there are some things that the Board asked to go on the plan, but he wasn’t seeing it there. Mr. Nesbitt asked for public comments on the plan, there were none. He asked for comments from the Board. Mrs. Harding asked if this was the newest plan in the packet because it still had the storage for cars on it. Mr. Nesbitt noted that the storage for the cars behind the building needs to be removed and he needs to add mechanical repair garage to the
inscription as he only has motor vehicles sales, he needs to add the parking table to the site plan. Mr. Benson stated that the parking table was there on the map in the upper right hand corner, but it could be made a little clearer. The Board was okay with that clarification. Mr. Nesbitt mentioned that Mr. Leo was going to put a small white fence in the area of the cars or some pins designating those spots. Mr. Nesbitt also stated that a condition of the plan is that there would be no outside storage and also a planting of a small tree or bush near the sign along Rt.113. Mr. Nesbitt said that Mr. Leo has shown where the sidewalk would go and recommended that Mr. Leo be given a year to get that sidewalk into place as winter time is a hard time to do this. Mr. Nesbitt stated that decreasing the curb cut on the Rt.113 side would help to define where the parking is and the parking area starts. Mrs. Billington asked if one tree would be planted every 30 feet as the ordinance calls for,
but Mr. Nesbitt stated that this would be hard because of the driveway and where the railroad tracks are situated. The entry way on Rt.11 will be left as is because of where his business would be situated on the Rt.113 end .A motion was made by Mrs. Harding to table this until the January 9, 2012 meeting and seconded by Mrs. Allen. All in favor.

They would like to put a full foundation under the entire building and keep part of an existing deck. They would like to build a new deck on the front and stay within the 30 percent range, without going any closer to the water. They do not have the option for moving the house back, but to the side., because of the
existing septic system. Bobby Harmon will be doing the site work and would like to be present when the Board has a site walk.
