NEW BUSINESS
Item No. 2: Final Subdivision Plan Revision to the Phase II
Hillbrook Subdivision to reconfigure lot lines between
Lots 29 and 30 located at 73 and 49 Whitetail Way in
a Rural Residence and Agricultural District. Gary
Milles, Cynthia Milles and Denise Comeau, applicants.
Chairman Guerette asked if there was a representative of the applicant
present. Mr. Gary Milles indicated that he and his neighbor have proposed a
mutual property swap. Through the construction of improvements on his
property he discovered that he was encroaching on his neighbor’s property. In
discussions with them they found that it was possible to enlarge the outdoor
lawn area in return for an equal space to accommodate some grading and drain
lines on their own lot, so a swap was proposed.
Chairman Guerette asked for a brief overview by the Planning Officer.
David Gould, Planning Officer, indicated that this was a fairly simple amendment
to the subdivision plan. If a similar property swap had occurred outside a
subdivision it would not have had to come before the Board. Being an approved
subdivision and having the board document the land swap with a revised
subdivision plan is sound practice. The equal swap does not affect lot area, lot
coverage, setbacks or other details. Staff recommended that the Board grant the
applicants’ Final Subdivision Plan revision.
Chairman Guerette inquired if the Comeau’s were represented or in
agreement with the plan. Mr. Milles noted that Mrs. Comeau had signed the
application as a co-applicant.
Mr. Rosenblatt moved to approve the revision to the Hillbrook Final
Subdivision Plan for Gary Milles, Cynthia Milles and Denise Comeau, applicants.
Ms. Mitchell seconded the motion and the Board voted unanimously to approve
the Subdivision Plan revision.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve the Minutes of October

The Board briefly discussed the change in the Board membership to seven

leadership and guidance would be missed. There being no further discussion,
the meeting was adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
