#SD2004-11 ~ Richard & Laraine Longhurst proposed reconfiguration of their original subdivision, located at 763 Atateka Drive. Applicant was represented by Atty. Robert Simon of Smith & Simon, LLC. Applicant proposes reconfiguration of the lot lines and relocation of the existing driveway for the subdivision that was approved in 2004. There are four lots, the owners of lots 2, 3 and 4 will be granted an easement for use of a portion of the shoreline, with the owners on lot 1 having exclusive use of the remainder of the shoreline. The project is non-jurisdictional with the Park Agency. There were no comments received from the public arena, therefore, on a motion by Mr. Dutcher, seconded by Mr. Ellsworth, the public hearing for this project closed at 7:03 p.m. Motion carried 5/0. Mr. Little then made a motion to approve application #SD2004-11 for reconfiguration of the lot lines, as proposed. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dutcher and carried 5/0. New maps will be signed for filing.

#SD2007-04 ~ Irene MacGlashan proposed 2-lot subdivision. Public hearing opened at 7:05 p.m. for this project. Applicant explained that she had originally wanted to sell all 48+/- acres of property containing the old sawmill and various outbuildings to her son, in its entirety. However, her son only wanted the portion containing the garage, which he uses for storage of his logging equipment. This project is in a Rural land use area, requiring 8.5 acres, so Mrs. MacGlashan has proposed breaking off a 9+/- acre portion to convey to her son, then sell the remaining 39+/- acres separately. The smaller lot will have 400+ feet of road frontage, and the rear lot would have 261.73 feet of road frontage. The property is located on Landon Hill Road, approximately 2 miles from the Rte. 8 & 9 intersection. With no comments from the public, motion was made by Mr. Little, seconded by Mr. Dutcher, to close the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. The Board requested that a jurisdictional inquiry form be submitted to the Park Agency by the applicant. On a motion by Mr. Bump, seconded by Mr. Ellsworth, application #SD2007-04 was approved for a two-lot subdivision, as presented, contingent on a Non-Jurisdictional determination from the Park Agency. Motion carried 5/0.

OLD BUSINESS: None

NEW BUSINESS: #SPR2007-09 ~ Ed Beckler. Applicant owns 60 or 70 acres located in a Moderate Intensity Land Use Area, on Stonebridge Road. In the midst of the property is a small camp, where applicant has begun clearing on the road and the turnaround area, not knowing at this time whether he will refurbish the existing camp, or knock it down and build a new one.
He proposes selectively harvesting some of the larger pines on the property, in an area to run from 5+/- acres to 10+/- acres. Following discussion, motion was made by Mr. Dutcher to approve application #2007-09, as presented. Motion seconded by Mr. Ellsworth, and carried 5/0.
