Planning board reviews soccer club use of Wolf Bro field; site-plan, ZBA review possible
Summary
The planning board reviewed a request from a community soccer club to use the Wolf Bro water field (and a potential new site at Moose Mountain) and flagged that the change could require a site-plan amendment or ZBA review depending on the final arrangements.
Planning board members discussed a request from a community soccer club to use the Wolf Bro water field for practices and a possible move of some activities to a field at Moose Mountain. Board members said the town planner has been in touch with the club organizer but that staff has not yet determined the formal approvals required.
Town planning staff and board members said the change could be treated as a nonresidential use that may need a site-plan review amendment; if play were moved to a different parcel the use could require a variance or referral to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). The board did not take formal action at the meeting and said staff will follow up with the club and report back at a future meeting.
The packet materials indicate the club operates several weeknight practices and occasional weekend tournaments; board members noted uncertain details about how often the Moose Mountain site would be used and what facility changes (if any) would be required. The board asked that staff clarify whether the proposed arrangement is a modification of an existing site plan or a new nonresidential use that would trigger additional review steps.
No votes were taken; the board indicated staff will contact the club organizer and return with a recommended review path (site-plan amendment or ZBA referral) once the program details are clear.
