Darlene Marrier read the notice and Louise Leach and Harvey Chaffee were sworn in and presented the proposed three lot sub-division. Lot #2 has 15.55 acres of land and will be accessed by a right of way onto State Highway 105. Lot #1 has 3.17 acres of land with frontage on State Highway 105 and will be accessed by a right of way. Lot #1 will contain the remainder of the land approximately 300=/- acres some of which is in the Town of Berkshire.

The property lies in two zoning districts, the industrial and conservation. The DRB can approve lot size, frontage and setback requirements for lots created in the conservation district. The requirements for a lot in the industrial district are 80,000 square feet for lot size and 200 feet of frontage. Lot #1 can meet the industrial district requirements.

Allen Demar made a motion to recess the hearing to deliberate at 7:56 p.m., Pat Hayes seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. 

The Board entered into private deliberative session where a decision was made on DRB-16-14. The Clerk was instructed to write findings and have them reviewed and signed by the Board then mailed to the Ms. Leach by certified mail. 

The hearings for DRB-11-14 Conditional Use Approval for undersized lot and DRB-12-14 for a Variance on an undersized lot were recessed until the Rosaire St. Pierre has a survey completed on the property and gets the required information from the State of Vermont. At that time the hearings will be warned and the abutters sent notice. 

The Board elected officers as a result of the recent resignations of the DRB.

Allen Demar nominated Patrick Hayes as Chairperson of the DRB, Normand Gervais seconded the motion and it passed 3-0. Patrick Hayes did not vote.
