Planning Board approves short-term zoning permit for single campsite on North Avenue
Summary
The Planning Board approved a short-term zoning permit for a single private campsite on property linked to Linwood Legasse, with conditions requiring verified wastewater and potable water systems, erosion controls and a DEP-trained erosion-control person on site during ground disturbance.
The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve a short-term zoning permit application for a single private campsite linked to property described as North Avenue (near the boat landing off Route 150). The application was submitted by Harvey Austin on behalf of Linwood Legasse and presented to the board by town staff.
Board members approved the application “as submitted,” with conditions recommended by town staff. The conditions require that subsurface wastewater disposal and potable water supply can be legally and practically installed on the lot, that all state and local requirements be met, and that a person certified in erosion and sediment control through a DEP-approved training program be present on site during all construction and ground disturbance within the resource-protection buffer. Erosion-control measures and other best management practices must be properly installed and maintained for the duration of the project.
The board discussed the site’s existing conditions: a cleared field that has been used previously for a campsite. Aaron (town staff) said the proposed campsite would be located outside the 100-foot resource-protection setback. Board members confirmed the location is just above the boat landing on West Runstead and that the site has an existing field where earlier activity had occurred.
The motion to approve included the recommended conditions of approval as read into the record. The board asked that the minutes spell out the name of Brian (town staff) and his recommended conditions. No public comment was recorded on the item at the time of the vote.
The vote carried; no individual vote tally was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The applicant and town staff were reminded to complete the required permitting steps, including final approvals from the plumbing inspector for wastewater and any other required state or local permits.
