David Page, Barbara Shinn, and their attorney, Deborah Dory, met with LPC to discuss their request to
locate parking spaces within PDR easement and existing stone driveway encroachment on easement as
part of site plan pending before Planning Board.
In response to prior letter from Deborah Dory, Esq., LPC had responded (letter dated 9/15/06) that
parking spaces should be located within non-easement area and that driveway encroachment should be
minimized. Landowners requested appointment to discuss LPC's letter.
Landowners suggested revised plan of locating 5 spaces for storage barn, wine making and accessory
storage within PDR and keeping the wine tasting spots (4) within non-PDR area. LPC and landowners
discussed existing fence near parking area and how moving it could potentially interfere with truck/tractor
use of property. LPC decided to review "ag production" definition further and to get back to landowners.
Regarding the roadway, landowners made presentation that Town Code requires 15' wide roadway and
that the location of a pre-existing barn is only 12' from easement line. Safety of the building, those using
the roadway, and the existence of an air conditioning unit do not provide enough footage for roadway and
therefore, they would be unable to minimize stone driveway encroachment on easement. LPC concurred
and will allow for minimal stone driveway encroachment, as roadway is predominantly agricultural use.
