Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman John Birknes declared there was a quorum and opened the meeting at 7:00 pm. The Chair asked for the minutes of May 12, 2010 be considered and if there were no changes he would entertain a motion. Evan Karpf made a motion to accept the minutes of May 12, 2010 as written. Ernie Temple seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Birknes declared this as a Special Meeting for Keith and Brenda Bergeron for a Site Plan Review/Consultation, “Brenda’s Country Kitchen and Inn,” Map 205, Lot 34, 529 Route 3 North, Twin Mountain. The meeting was called because Stan Borkowski felt that the Bergeron’s “should go before the board with a conceptual plan because:
• They are putting in a 40 seat sit down restaurant and a lounge. The Inn only was used as a Bed & Breakfast before.
• The rooms had been rented out on a nightly basis before, now they would like to rent them weekly. Stan thinks it is moving along the lines of a hostel.
• They would also like to put in an ice cream shop on the front porch area. This has never been done before.
Stan said he feels there is enough of additional uses that he would like the PLBD to look at the conceptual plan and decide from there. Also, he feels parking may be an issue at some point.” Stan said that he has found the Bergeron’s to be very willing to work with him and that they want to do things the right way.
Chairman Birknes said the Site Plan Review seemed to be the place to start, even though it is not a new construction. But what this seems to be is an extension of a previous business. There are eight units for rent and a dining room. They are working on the bathrooms for the rentals, so they are not open yet and will not be, until the bathrooms are done. Plus they are waiting until next year to put in the ice cream shop.
Chairman Birknes asked how many parking spaces there were. Keith said he thought there was plenty, but he did not know exactly how many spaces either. Evan Karpf asked Keith if he was familiar with the parking regulations. Keith said he felt he was fairly familiar with it. Evan told Keith that the regulation stated the parking spaces had to be a minimum of 10’x 20’for one parking spot. Evan then asked how large was the bar/lounge area and how many people could be accommodated at it. Keith said the counter area was approximately 12’ x 6’ and would have 8 seats. The dining area has 26 seats now, but the area has been approved for 50 people by the Fire Chief. Evan Karpf said the regulations require 11 parking spaces for 33 people, or 1 space per 3 people. Keith felt confident that could happen. And Evan wanted to make sure that each space would be 10’ x 20’. Keith confirmed that. Keith also said the employees would be parking on the lawn.
Frank Maturo asked what the size of the septic was. Keith said it was a large tank, 3000 gallons.
Chairman Birknes said that they did not want to discourage any new businesses, especially in this economy. But he wants to make sure that the process is done properly so that Keith will not have problems in the future. Charlie Cohn said that this was not a new use and he should be able to have the business open until the PLBD meets again.
It was decided that the PLBD would hold a meeting on August 5th for a Site Plan Review for Brenda’s Country Kitchen and Inn. Evan asked Keith to not only have answers for the parking, but also outdoor lighting and the outdoor animal protected dumpster. John Birknes also said Keith should bring in any ideas/questions for signs too. Get everything done at once.
Evan Karpf made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Charlie Cohn seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 7:30.
