Kramarczyk seeks conditional‑use approval for Fayston house on steep slopes; board questions clearing

Applicant Kramarczyk (Application #4016) asked the Fayston Development Review Board for Conditional Use Approval on May 5, 2026, for a single‑family residence and associated infrastructure on land that involves slopes greater than 15 percent. The board found the application complete by unanimous motion and heard a presentation from George McCain, the project representative.

Board member Ky Koitsch raised concerns that "there has been a lot more cleared on the site than what’s indicated on the plan as the limits of disturbance," asking whether that clearing was part of the subdivision approval. George McCain replied that the limits of disturbance shown on the plan apply to the proposed structures and that the cutting had occurred before McCain took on the project. The board also noted the ordinance restriction that no disturbance may occur in areas greater than 25 percent slope without prior DRB approval. Michael Duell, an interested party, pointed out differences between subdivision covenants and DRB approvals; Chair Daniel Young clarified that the DRB standards are more restrictive and supersede subdivision covenants and suggested the homeowners' association may wish to update its covenants to reflect the DRB decision.

The transcript records motions to find the application complete and later to close the hearing for deliberation: Ky Koitsch moved to find the application complete and later moved to close the hearing; both motions were seconded and carried with all voting members in favor. No final permit decision appears in the transcript.
