29 <br />113 Judith Wegner: That community is aware and has a feeling of being pushed and pulled. <br />114 <br />115 Jay Bryan: I don't live there but if I did, I would feel comfortable with addressing the individual situation. This <br />116 particular situation, the Fiesta Grill, is what spurred this in part. The second piece is that if White Cross wanted to do <br />117 a community plan for more acreage for that node, we would engage in a process that could be local. I am concerned <br />118 about these other nodes, what people feel in those communities and how they would react to an expansion. I don't <br />119 feel comfortable doing a broad change over the other nodes without more study. <br />120 <br />121 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: I thought we were also looking at Option 4 as a follow -up down the road? I think we are <br />122 answering everyone's concern. <br />123 <br />124 Brian Crawford: I have heard from the comments that the Planning Board is supportive of the change to meet the <br />125 needs of the merchants, including the Fiesta Grill, and the second is that we also agree on the further plan for White <br />126 Cross and the third issue is that we do not want to expand that to all the other nodes because we want them to react <br />127 to this change and how it may affect them. <br />128 <br />129 Jay Bryan: You may not need to go to the third one. <br />130 <br />131 Judith Wegner: Between two and three, can you clarify since there is a distinction about not applying to the other <br />132 nodes that is a broader sweep and would take longer compared to three which is the one with the septic systems. <br />133 <br />134 Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: I think Option 3 had record keeping problems that there is not staff to keep up with. <br />135 <br />136 Larry Wright: I think that is right. <br />137 <br />138 Judith Wegner: Number 2 would say limiting instead of all rural nodes; it would be this specific node. <br />139 <br />140 Lary Wright: Where was the nine and seven acre? <br />141 <br />142 Brian Crawford: Staff suggested nine acres and Judith asked about that number. <br />143 <br />144 MOTION Planning Board recommends option 2 with the understanding that the modification would only apply to the <br />145 White Cross rural node as well as moving forward with option four (4) at the first opportunity specifically as to <br />146 developing a small area plan for White Cross node by Judith Wegner. Seconded by Larry Wright <br />147 <br />148 Mark Marcoplos: Can we discuss this, briefly. I just want to ask again. Do we know what those two property owners <br />149 needs are? <br />150 <br />151 Craig Benedict: Its only one acre for Mr. Davis. <br />152 <br />153 Mark Marcoplos: He only needs one. <br />154 <br />155 Craig Benedict: For Fiesta Grill, I do not know offhand, but I wouldn't think its more than two acres. <br />156 <br />157 Mark Marcoplos: And they've got five there. <br />158 <br />159 Judith Wegner: If I remember correctly, they can't accommodate it on the parcel owned by the guy who's leasing it, <br />160 the land to them. That's why I wasn't sure as to item 2 by saying you could have a larger commercial node. I think <br />161 that gets you someplace but there still would have to be an additional leasing of the adjacent property to <br />162 accommodate the septic. <br />163 <br />164 Jay Bryan: How about saying up to the minimal amount that's needed to correct those two situations up to a <br />165 maximum amount. <br />166 <br />167 Mark Marcoplos: Do you see what I'm getting at? I just don't want open the door to bigger stuff when later on the <br />168 community might say, no we only want six acres or seven acres. I don't know if that's important but it might be. <br />
