Planning Board approves third storage building at Blizzard site, limits approval to storage and related parking
Summary
The Gilford Planning Board approved Blizzard, Inc.'s proposal to add a third indoor boat-storage building at 156 Lily Pond Road, subject to obtaining any other federal, state, or local approvals; the board limited the approval to the storage building and associated parking after discussion of variances, stormwater, and parking counts.
The Gilford Planning Board voted to approve Blizzard, Inc.'s revised application to add a third indoor boat-storage building at 156 Lily Pond Road, with the approval explicitly limited to the storage building and the parking that accompanies it. R. Notkin moved the approval and C. Scattergood seconded; the motion carried unanimously according to the meeting record.
Engineer Cynthia Theriault, P.E., told the board the application had been revised since May, including variances granted for combined use and parking, and that stormwater control had been updated for the larger building. "The water is handled and captured into catch basins and a retention pond," Theriault said, describing the applicant's stormwater plan. Planning staff and board members discussed parking: Director John Ayer noted "the variance was to allow for 15 parking spaces where 22 are required," and asked the board to confine the current approval to the storage building rather than residential uses that would require additional sewer and water review.
The board opened the public hearing and received no comments. The motion approving the storage building specified that the applicant must obtain any other federal, state, or local approvals that may be required before proceeding. The transcript records the motion carried unanimously; the meeting minutes do not list a roll-call tally by name.
