III. Minutes:
August 25, 2008 – ready for approval.
IV. Second Dwellings:
29 Kimball Avenue, Thomas Mleczko (Map 30 Parcel 24.2), extension request – The applicant
simply needs more time to complete the project which was approved in 2006. Since there
is a two (2) year time frame to complete the work, the applicant seeks the extension.
Everything is exactly as previously approved.
Staff recommends approval of the extension request.
V. Public Hearings:
#7084 WB Nantucket Holdings, 3 Arrowhead Drive, action deadline 08-30-08 – This public
hearing remains open. In the packet please find Ed Pesce's August 16th, 2008 review. Several
issues that are not fully addressed rise only to the level of staff intervention with the help of Ed
Pesce to be solved. Other issues need your direct input to the applicant to be solved. Staff
recommends that you direct Mr. Pesce to meet directly with the applicant's engineer, Bill
Weller, to solve the lower level issues but ask directly of the applicant how he will solve the
major issues.
Staff recommendation on each item in Ed Pesce's review follows:

Planning Board Agenda for Monday, August 25, 2008
#54-08 Mark J. Roche and Germaine L. Roche, 15 Trotters Lane (Map 69 Parcel 284)
#55-08 Bernard P. Cooney III, 19 West York Lane (Map 55 Parcel 335)
#56-08 James R. and Alix C. Houghton, 7 Farmer Street (Map 42.3.4 Parcel 85)
#58-08 Murat Aslansan, 1 Brock’s Court (Map 42.3.4 Parcel 85)
#59-08 First Sun, LLC, 86 West Chester Street (Map 41 Parcel 533.1)
Staff recommends you review only two (2) of the above ZBA cases:
#54-08 Roche et al – the applicant is operating an automotive electronics repair shop out of a
site previously used as a taxi depot however it is zoned residential so a special permit to change
from one non-conforming use to another non-conforming use is being sought. Usually the
Town attempts to bring properties into compliance with the Zoning By-law rather than
perpetuating non-conformities. Staff recommends a negative recommendation on this special
permit application.
#58-08 Aslansan et al – the definition of a dwelling v. dwelling unit is confusing in the Zoning
By-law. In this case the applicant is asserting that he is changing his "garage" use to a "living
area" and also changing his "barn/workshop" use to a "living area". Neither one has a kitchen,
so what are they? Question is that since only two dwelling units are allowed per lot, how should
these "living areas" without kitchens be defined?
VII. Other Business:
Squam Road Association, discussion on update road maintenance- Planning Director Vorce will
address this issue regarding improvements to be made to Squam Road. Please see information
in your packet.
Master Plan Chapter 41, Section 81-D, Update from Board of Selectmen – Planning Director
Vorce will update the Board on the progress on the Master Plan to date.
Please find miscellaneous information for your review.
