Discussion with Mark Stevens on Lindt – Marin
Way Easement Layout.
Mark Stevens stated that there has been talk about a connecting road from Stratham industrial park through Stratham Heights through Rollins Hill. Mr. Stevens stated that there are problems with that for one the road would run through the property he wants to develop. He also said that you cannot see it but the elevation is 120 and the other is 160 so it is impossible to build that road there. Mr. Stevens describes his proposal to the planning board with his map on the board. The proposed road will come to Rollins Hill Road.
Marty Wool, Winnicutt Rd – Asked if this was going to be a town road. The applicant stated it would be a Town Road.
Lindt agreed to build part of the road and Mr. Stevens stated he will build a portion of the road.
The board stated the Town, Lindt and Mr. Stevens all have to be involved in the decision to have a Town road built. The residents on Rollins Hill Road should be there as well.
Kathleen Grusland – Asked Chuck who would be using this road. Chuck stated that it would not be for large delivery trucks. He would ask trucks to be prohibited. It would be for commuter traffic.
Mr. Stevens said if the goal of this project is to connect the Town of Stratham to the industrial park he would do that.
Motion to adjourn at 7:55 p.m. by Gordon seconded by Ms. Werner motion passed.
Yours Truly,
Sarah C. Del Rossi
