PUBLIC BUSINESS:
AVANRU DEVELOPMENT – Jack Franks: Mr. Franks submitted a letter to the Chair of the Selectboard. He is asking for a few more days to comply with their mandate; nothing will be built of a permanent nature until everything is taken care of. He has addressed most of the concerns of Fire Chief Herb Hurlburt and has submitted the documentation. One employees that worked on the alarm system is no longer with the company; the two owners are very busy and could not get anything to them right now. Mr. Franks has requested that they work on this as soon as possible. The Fire Alarm system is the only thing that Mr. Franks has not submitted. Jedd Pellerin will address any other questions that Chief Hurlburt has. They do not want to be in default. Mr. Street recommended that he come in to ask for an extension. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Dalessio want to be sure that the information submitted to Chief Hurlburt is what he is looking for. Mr. Dalessio advised that they will consider it next week on May 21st and then they would like a few days to contact Chief Hurlburt to see if he is satisfied with the documentation provided.
Mr. Dalessio did some research on the second building permit on the same parcel but is not done yet. It is unique. He talked to four different agencies/people. It is not covered anywhere in the State statutes. He would prefer to finish the research and table this until the next meeting. After they come to a conclusion he would encourage the Planning Board to build it into their Site Plan Review. Mr. Franks said they filed two separate Site Plan applications; the second one was not “Expedited” as they thought because the Judge ruled that it was a full Site Plan. He has approval for two full Site Plans that are identical plans; it does not matter if they are condominiums or apartments. Mr. Dalessio summarized that the issue is the Selectboard questioned if a property owner can have two Site Plan Reviews and two Building Permits on the same property at the same time.
