Atlantic Investments, Inc., applicant. Chairman Guerette asked if a representative of Atlantic Investments wished to make a presentation. Mr. Scott Braley of Plymouth Engineering indicated he did not have any additional information to add but would be happy to answer any questions of the Board. Chairman Guerette thanked the applicant and their representatives for their participation in the site visit that went smoothly Monday February 11, 2008. . Mr. Rosenblatt moved to approve the Site Development Plan for filling and grading at 913 Broadway, Atlantic Investments, Inc., applicant. Mr. Theeman seconded the motion and the Board voted 5-0 to approve the Site Development Plan. 2 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 16, 2007 Meeting. The Board briefly discussed the change in the Board membership to seven regular members and the timeframe for upcoming Council appointments. Mr. Barnes noted that the Board would soon lose Chairman Guerette and his leadership and guidance would be missed. There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 7:07 p.m. PLANNING BOARD OF THE CITY OF BANGOR SITE VISIT – 913 BROADWAY MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008, 4:15 P.M.
