Applicant proposes
to subdivide 60,840 sq. ft. parcel, with the existing house at the center, from
a 23+/- acre farm parcel.� This parcel
is located at the northwest corner intersection of Rt. 29 and Grange Hall
Rd.� Public Hearing
Ken Macica appeared before the Board on behalf of the Applicant.� Chairman Ian Murray stated that Jim Vianna came before the Board last month on behalf of this Applicant and all questions were answered at that time.� This is an existing residence that has been here for a number of years, so there is no need for perc testing or soil engineering.� Ken Macica reiterated for the Board that they are separating this parcel for estate planning and the rest of the farm will be incorporated in the future.� Chairman Ian Murray questioned if the corn maze is on the same deed as the farm and Ken Macica said yes it is.� Laurie Griffin asked if this subdivision will have a separate deed and again Ken Macica answered yes.� Chairman Ian Murray explained he had spoken with Jim Vianna last month and told him it is great to see this business expanding, but the Board would like to see a site plan for the other site.� He told Ken Macica they don�t need another special use permit since they already have one for the corn maze, but after the Board gets through with this, they would like him to get working on that site plan.� Ken Macica asked what that requires, and Chairman Ian Murray explained just a rough layout like Jim Vianna did with this; identify the greenhouses, the curb cut for the road, parking and things like that.� Ken Macica agreed.
Chairman Ian Murray asked if
there were any questions from the Board.�
Patrick Hanehan questioned if the driveway for the agricultural lot
should be separated from the one for the house. Chairman Ian Murray asked if he
meant putting a berm area in there and he answered yes.� Chairman Ian Murray stated he did not think
that was necessary, continuance will be the same operator/same owner.� If they were to sell it then it might be a
stipulation in the seller�s agreement to separate it from the house or
something.� Patrick Hanehan also stated
he didn�t see the Right to Farm statement on the map and thinks it should be on
there.� Chairman Ian Murray and Town
Engineer Ken Martin agreed.
Ken Macica provided Clerk Linda McCabe with proof of
neighbor notifications.
On March 13, 2008 a letter was sent to the Town of
Northumberland notifying them of this Public Hearing and we have received no
