Barack Kimball Estate amendment accepted; planning board schedules hearing and waives some requirements
Summary
A resident seeking a minor subdivision amendment to add a dwelling for retired parents was received and found complete; the board set a public hearing, determined a reserve septic system was not required for the existing house, waived several requirements related to clustering and soil mapping, and continued workshop items for up to 30 days.
The Planning Board received and accepted a minor subdivision amendment for the Barack Kimball Estate on Aug. 4. Applicant Courtland Holloway said he sought permission to place an additional dwelling on his property to house retired parents. The board agreed the application was complete and scheduled a public hearing at the next meeting.
The board considered whether the existing house would need its own reserved septic area; planner Mike explained the proposed reserve behind the new dwelling could serve either house. After discussion the board unanimously found an additional reserve was not required. The board also determined that, because the original plan was a small four-lot subdivision, clustering rules and an open-space requirement could be waived in this instance; the board waived the York County soil-conservation map requirement as well.
Board members asked for a well flow and water-quality test because the area has known well-capacity issues; the applicant was told to provide a flow test to show the shared well could support the added bedrooms. The board voted to continue workshop review for up to 30 days to allow the applicant to submit the requested tests and documentation.
The board recorded its motions unanimously and reminded the applicant that a public hearing would be scheduled at the next meeting.
