Wayne 2nded the motion and all members voted in favor of application 2nd order of business: Reopen 03-030 Camels Hump Properties (Jim Cameron) Randy asked Moe if he had gotten the information from the VLCT for their opinion. Moe said he had talked with Garrett @ VLCT and referred him to Brian Monahan who is an attorney with the Vermont League Of cities and Towns. Moe explained the situation to them and they said that it sounded like the 3 properties would be permissible with the purchase of the 1 acre property. Moe also said the Town Plan would like this type of move with power and easy access to the property. Concern was that it would be a tight fit to get the 3 properties in the area. Wayne said he would rather see a duplex or a tri-Plax in the area. Also the 50’ right-of-way would have to be followed. There should be no parking on the right-of-way as it is now. There was a lot of conversation on the 50’ right of way. Also concern over the approval of building permits by the ZA. Al said he didn’t have the authority to approve the permits and they would have to go to the DRB. Moe made the motion to approve the 3 house addition with the 1 acre to be purchased. Nothing to be built until site plan comes back to the DRB for review. Also the select board to designate the 50’ right of way. The vote was 1 against approval (Mr. Walker) the other 4 members voted in favor. The application passed. 3rd order of business: Carlos and Patty Nelson for a 2 lot sub-division. They want to sub-divide lot 1 into two lots with each having approx 3.5 acres each. Wayne wanted to know where the building On lot 2 was located. By looking at the site plan it shows that the property more than meets the set-back requirement for the area. Moe made the motion to approve the sub-division. Wayne 2nded the motion and all members voted to approve. 4th order of business: Approval of minutes of prior meeting, Members read the minutes and all approved. Randy said the next meeting should be on Oct 10th @ 7 pm to go over the site plan Of Green Crow. Members said they could make it. Ken made the motion to adjourn @ 9:05 all voted in favor of it.
