From: Dirk Grotenhuis Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2023 4:17 PM To: Plan.Zone Subject: 7 Berry Road Conceptual Attachments: 7 Berry Road Complaint_05-25-2021.pdf; 2021 admin decision.pdf Dear Planning Board Members, Based on the Planning Board Meeting Agenda for 8/9/2023 there is an application for a conceptual site plan review that I would like to provide input on. I am a direct abutter to this property. The property is a non-conforming multi-family dwelling with up to 13 separate leased spaces in 4 units. There is a long history of violations and non-compliance and is documented in the Town's files. In 2005 the ZBA approved a variance to Article 6G Section 3B to allow a 4-unit multi-family dwelling in the residential zone. A condition of that variance was to submit a site plan application for approval by the Planning Board. That condition was never met and no site plan has been submitted since then. The Town Code Enforcement office did not follow up on the conditional approval at that time. Recently in 2021, the owner at the time made alterations to the property including moving a shed within the 100' Landscape Buffer and expanding the parking lot with gravel. I filed a complaint dated May 25, 2021 (attached) and it goes into some of the details of the violations. The Town Code Enforcement office issued an Administrative Decision and stated that "any future expansion will require a site plan". (attached). The Town did not respond to the parking lot expansion. The ZBA denied a variance request to keep the shed within the 100' Landscape Buffer and the owner was required to move it back to its original position The conceptual diagrams shown by the applicant before you now are inaccurate, not to scale, and do not depict the existing conditions. The parking expansion being shown is within the 100' Landscape Buffer and within wetland setbacks. The 6-acre site is already over occupied with the amount of separate tenants and their cars which they are parking all over the site. The diagrams are counting existing spaces that are not there, these are on the front lawn and in the roadway. The proposed parking diagram adds spaces for a total of 20 future spaces. This is excessive for a 4-unit multi-family dwelling which the Town has not monitored or enforced for years. I ask the Planning Board to inform the applicant that a full site plan application would be required depicting all the existing conditions, property lines, set backs, proposed conditions, occupancy, septic, wells, etc. And that they will need to provide justification for any of the modifications they are proposing. Respectfully submitted, -- Dirk Grotenhuis 3 Poor Farm Road Nottingham, NH
