2026-10-21 - Development Review Board
Summary
Based on auto-captions; names and figures may be misheard.
- Four of the seven board members were present; applicants were told approval needs four affirmative votes.
- Loomis Hill Rd barn setback waiver (Case 064-26, amended): approved on a motion by David Rogers, seconded, with a voice vote and no opposition heard. The applicant must build in accordance with the board's findings and the revised plans, and the conditions of the earlier approval remain in effect. Discussion noted a 5 ft side-yard waiver, the previously granted front setback held, and that the decision should state a structure height of 25 ft, not the 35 ft on the application. See Loomis Hill Road Barn Setback Waiver.
- Blush Hill Country Club storage building (Case 061-26): approved with no opposition heard. It is a prefab Quonset-hut style building with a garage door at each end, on an extended slab with the fuel tanks stored under a lean-to roof. Condition: all exterior lighting downcast and shielded. See Blush Hill Country Club Storage Building.
- O'Reilly Auto pole barn, 5430 Waterbury-Stowe Rd (Case 060-26): a representative for the applicant sits on the board, which left only three eligible members and no quorum, so the application was continued to 2026-11-04 at 6:30 PM. See O'Reilly Auto Pole Barn.
- Minutes of the previous meeting were handled at the start of the meeting.
Agenda
060-26 pole barn, Waterbury-Stowe Rd, site plan review; 061-26 storage shed, Lonesome Trail (Blush Hill Country Club), site plan; 064-26 Loomis Hill Rd, amend setback waiver from 29 ft to 38 ft (barn with attached woodshed).

00:35at 549 Lunis Hill Road.
00:38Please come up.
00:48>> So, if I recall correctly, we asked you
00:50guys to reassess the location of that so
00:54that you [snorts] did not need to
00:55approach any further into front yard
00:57setback and
00:59what may have been into the side yard
01:00setback.
01:03So,

01:15at
01:17not going any further than what we had
01:19on the street side, the front setback.
01:22If we twisted the structure,
01:26which is a little less desirable than
01:28what we had wanted,
01:30if we You have, I guess, two exhibits
01:33that if you look at, I believe it's K

05:31Blush Hill Country Club owner applicant
05:33at 141 Loomis Hill Trail Waterbury.
05:35Applicant proposes constructing new
05:37storage shed for non-residential use.
05:40All parts of site plan review.
05:45So just so you're aware, we are a
05:46seven-member board. We have four members
05:49present this evening. In order to
05:53gain approval, you need four votes in
05:54the affirmative. If at any point you
05:56wish to continue the hearing till
05:58there's more
05:59members present, that is your right and
06:01you can do so at any time.

06:50All right. Let's go over that before.
06:52Okay.
06:52>> Do we have a Is there a plans in there?
06:55>> Yes. [clears throat] Would you like
06:55those out?
06:56>> Yeah. Yep. Since we Sorry, I didn't have

07:15>> Yeah, sure.
07:17I'm Steve Robinson.
07:18I'm on the board at the club. I'm an
07:20adjoining landowner as well and
07:22currently the president.
07:24Thank you for your time today.
07:25>> And I'm Maurice Lavanture, also a board

07:32>> I heard your introductions earlier, but
07:34I'm sorry.
07:35>> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Gracie Zeigler.
07:37>> You're Gracie and you're new You're new
07:38town manager. You're town manager.
07:40>> Welcome aboard.
07:41>> Thank you.
07:41>> She's filling in for Cheryl, who is
07:43currently on vacation.
07:46>> I am.
07:47>> No, New Hampshire.
07:48>> New Hampshire now.
07:49>> She hasn't been back from Ireland for a
07:50bit. I
07:52had wished that everyone would meet me
07:53on a more impressive
07:55status, but I'll do my best.
07:57>> Yeah, well, welcome to Waterbury.
07:59>> Thank you.
08:03>> All right.
08:04>> And that goes up to the residents there.
08:07Country club house is up here.
08:11>> Yeah, so
08:12as Dave was just saying, essentially
08:15what we're proposing is to build a 40 by
08:1760-ish
08:20storage shed, which is a cold storage
08:23building, a place where we can store the
08:24golf carts and the lawn mowing equipment
08:27in the winter.
08:28Right now we have really no place to do
08:30that. We have a kind of under-building
08:33garage in the existing clubhouse where
08:35we store most of that stuff. And then we
08:37have a little storage garage up by the
08:40house that's in the middle of the golf
08:41course.
08:42And they're hopeful that we get rid of
08:44that shack cuz it's falling down.
08:46So presently, if you're familiar with
08:48everybody familiar with the golf course
08:50at all? Okay. So Blush Hill runs along
08:53the bottom of the map. Wilson Trail runs
08:55this way and this is the existing
08:57country club pro shop and club house.
09:00And then this tract
09:02is the golf course.
09:04There is a driveway off of Blush Hill
09:07that goes up to the single residence
09:09that's kind of surrounded by the golf
09:11course, the Lindy residence. You might
09:12be familiar with that.
09:13>> Yes.
09:14>> We currently have a maintenance area
09:17here where we do kind of like our
09:19equipment wash down after mowing. We
09:22stockpile debris and stumps and waste
09:25grass and stuff like that.
09:27So the site proposed for the building
09:30would be in this area. So of course we
09:32come in, we clean out that debris, we
09:34bench it, we grade it. It's a slab
09:38um and we would put the building there.
09:40The building's basically a prefab
09:42Quonset hut. So, one of our members has
09:44generously donated this thing to us
09:47uh to give us a chance to try to
09:48construct this building. As you may or
09:50may not know,
09:51we're a community golf course, and we
09:53obviously live on a very lean budget.
09:56So, expenses like this are certainly a
09:58challenge for us, and so with the help
10:00of members, some donated service and
10:02time, and of course this building, we we
10:05feel like we're in a position now where
10:06we can create this structure,
10:08which has been long needed. So,
10:10presently we store all of our golf carts
10:12outside, and then in the wintertime,
10:15believe it or not, we pack them onto the
10:17porch of the clubhouse inside. And Mo
10:21does most of that, which uh takes a lot
10:23of buttering, but they get in there.
10:26Um but like I said, our tractors, our
10:27lawnmowers,
10:29they take up all the area in our little
10:30maintenance shop, and so then there's no
10:32place to work on them. So, the goal is
10:34to get all that stuff into this cold
10:36storage barn, which again, in the
10:38wintertime, it would be filled with the
10:40equipment. It's really an unoccupied
10:42building. It's not intended to be like a
10:44maintenance building, cuz all that
10:46maintenance would still happen in this
10:47little garage under here.
10:49>> So, you're not going to be storing no
10:50fuel or anything there?
10:52>> Well, we have two outdoor fuel tanks now
10:55that are next to the Lindy's house. We
10:57have a diesel tank and a gas tank that
11:00we use to fill our equipment with. We
11:01would put those down in front of this
11:04building. I can show you the floor plan,
11:06uh might make it easier to understand.
11:10The building itself
11:14is about 40 by 56. So, if you can see
11:18this outline,
11:20this would represent the building shell,
11:22but we plan to extend that slab out a
11:24little bit, and that's how it makes it a
11:26little over 60. We plan on storing those
11:28tanks on that slab, so that the roof of
11:30the Quonset hut will stand out over kind
11:33of like a lean-to.
11:34>> Yeah.
11:35>> So it's an outdoor area, but it would
11:37cover those tanks, so kind of protect
11:39them from snow and ice and rain and that
11:42kind of stuff. So those would be
11:44outdoors. They would not be in the
11:45building.
11:45>> And and they're the they're the same
11:46tanks that are there now?
11:47>> Yeah. Yeah, we're just moving them down
11:49to there.
11:50So as you can see, it's pretty simple
11:52structure. You know, it's just a half
11:54dome classic Quonset Hut.
11:57Uh and we'd have a garage door on each
11:59end, so we could pull equipment through
12:01and then a man door on each end, so
12:03people can get in and out of it. It is
12:04planned to be a cold storage building at
12:06this point. We will bring water into it,
12:09just so we can have water available to
12:12hose things down [clears throat] or
12:13whatever.
12:14Um
12:14but we are not doing like uh wintertime
12:17use or anything like that in the
12:18building. So we'll have to winterize it
12:19just like we do the rest of the club. So
12:22this time of year we start closing
12:23things down, turning off water, that
12:25kind of stuff, cuz the club is closed
12:27all winter as well.
12:29Um
12:31So that's kind of a highlight. Uh like I
12:33said, back to the site plan, there's an
12:35existing driveway that comes up from
12:37Blush Hill. That would be the intended
12:40access point for any
12:42random delivery we might have, but most
12:45of our deliveries will all come to the
12:47to the clubhouse throughout the summer.
12:49And then we will use that and we'll
12:50transport things over to the
12:53to the shed if we're storing something
12:54over there.
12:55Um but we are and we're in close contact
12:58with the Lindys. They're all, you know,
13:00they're in favor of it cuz hey, they
13:01want to get rid of the crappy little
13:02garage that we're using now next to
13:04their place.
13:06Um
13:07and so yeah, pretty straightforward.
13:11>> Okay.
13:12Nice job, Joe.
13:13>> Thanks, Mike.
13:14>> [laughter]
13:16>> Dave, do you have questions?
13:16>> Uh are you planning on putting any
13:18dumpsters around that?
13:20>> We are not. Our dumpsters right now are
13:22housed up by the clubhouse and for For
13:25foreseeable future, we wouldn't see a
13:26need to put any
13:28>> Yeah.
13:28>> No large containers. We might have a
13:29couple of 55-gallon trash cans inside
13:32and if those get filled, we'll put them
13:33on a the superintendent cart and bring
13:35them to the dumpster kind of thing.
13:36>> [snorts]
13:37>> What is the outside of the Quonset hut?
13:40Is it the typical metal like aluminum?
13:42>> Yeah, it's galvalume. So, it's that
13:44silvery looking
13:46>> Okay.
13:47>> color.
13:49>> [snorts]
13:50>> All right.
13:51>> And and just in case I didn't mention it
13:52earlier, there are a lot of uh trees and
13:55mature trees around this maintenance
13:56area. That's kind of why it's our
13:58maintenance area now cuz it's screened
13:59from everywhere and it's literally like
14:02in the middle of the golf course. So,
14:03the closest property line I think is 340
14:06ft away.
14:07So, we we easily meet all the setbacks,
14:09of course.
14:10>> I think that
14:11it will attenuate
14:12>> It does. Yeah, over time.
14:15>> That was all I had there.
14:18>> [clears throat]
14:18>> What?
14:18>> Wow,
14:20it's pretty complicated building.
14:21>> I know. Very [laughter] very difficult.
14:23>> That's No, I don't have any questions.
14:27Can you see Are are you going to be able
14:29to see this structure from Washoe Road?
14:32>> Yeah, I would say you'd be able to see
14:34it, but from Washoe Road,
14:37um our first fairway comes down the hill
14:39beside this thing and at the top of the
14:41first fairway, there are several very
14:43large mature northern white pine trees
14:46and that is right along the edge of this
14:48waste area. So, it will definitely
14:52substantially screen that building, but
14:54to say you won't be able to see it, I
14:55mean
14:56>> Yeah.
14:57>> Yeah.
14:58You'll see it.
14:58>> You won't have to take any of those
15:00trees out?
15:02>> Correct.
15:02>> as part of construction.
15:03>> Correct. The only There's There's one
15:05large Is it a beech tree?
15:08>> Poplar tree back in this corner, which
15:10is up on the uphill side and our second
15:12fairway or our second rough.
15:15Um
15:16We got to take that down just cuz it's
15:18in the corner of the building, but all
15:19the other mature trees will stay.
15:22>> And the Lindy's were delighted with that
15:24because it uh blocks a little bit of
15:25their view of the
15:27>> Mount Hunger, yeah.
15:28>> Oh, right. Yeah, that's funny.
15:29>> Blocks some golf balls, too.
15:32>> [laughter]
15:32>> Not always.
15:34>> Not if you're as good as I am.
15:36>> [laughter]
15:39>> Um any outside lighting on the
15:41structure?
15:42>> Uh what we've talked about is
15:44potentially putting a downcast and
15:46shielded shoebox stake fixture over the
15:49overhead doors. And those would be on
15:50motion sensors. So, obviously, as you
15:53know, we're a summertime operation. And
15:55for the most part, this building will
15:58only be used in the summertime to house
16:00the lawn mowing equipment, which is an
16:02early morning operation for us. So, our
16:03guys are up there at 5:30 and they're
16:05usually out of there by noon. So, uh we
16:08would put motion sensor downcast
16:10shielded lights just for security and
16:12kind of vandalism protection.
16:16Uh but we don't need much light out
16:17there cuz it's it's a daytime operation
16:20for us.
16:21>> Sure.
16:22That's all I have, David.
16:23>> Thanks.
16:33>> So, you're relocating the So, is is this
16:35everything being moved away from the
16:37Lindy
16:38property at this point?
16:40>> Well, so there's one kind of garage that
16:43we use that they're going to ask us to
16:45remove. So, we're going to tear that
16:46down. So, the only other thing are the
16:47two tanks.
16:49>> They're going to be moving the tanks.
16:50>> So, but your operations as a whole will
16:52be
16:53out of out of there.
16:55>> Correct. I mean, there's still an
16:56outbuilding on their quote-unquote
16:59property,
17:01uh but we don't use that building right
17:02now.
17:03>> Okay.
17:05>> So, they they they they they basically
17:07own an island inside
17:08>> They 100% do.
17:10And it's a beautiful little island.
17:12>> It's going to It's going to be a silly
17:13question. I'm just going on the record.
17:14Do you have rights to this driveway
17:16for access.
17:18>> Yes.
17:18>> Yeah, okay.
17:21And then
17:24the tanks are going to go on which side
17:26of the building?
17:27>> They're on the south end. So on the
17:29driveway side.
17:31>> side? On concrete pads?
17:33>> Well, it'll be part of the building
17:34slab. So we're basically making the
17:36building slab large enough for them to
17:38sit on.
17:38>> And and and the area in which
17:42equipment is fueled, that will also be
17:44on concrete or will that be on gravel?
17:46>> Uh
17:47it'll be on gravel.
17:49>> Where the fuel
17:49>> Yeah, like we do now. Yeah.
17:55>> Can I see the picture that you're
17:57showing?
17:59>> Do we have it electronically?
18:01>> I
18:02>> Uh unfortunately, we don't have it
18:04electronically.
18:06>> Yeah, it's beautiful.
18:07>> It's behind that tree there.
18:09>> [laughter]
18:09>> That's the water we need.
18:11Right?
18:13The water has
18:15I I don't know how to share a picture on
18:17the screen.
18:17>> I I I don't think we have the ability
18:18because our our owl is being utilized.
18:21>> Rob for the other meeting.
18:22>> Oh, somebody stole our owl.
18:24>> Uh if you wanted to pass it down, I
18:26could hold it over like this.
18:28>> I'm happy to pass it down if you want to
18:29hold it in front of your camera so they
18:31might be able to see it. Sometimes
18:32that's a little awkward, but
18:35it's better than a poke in the eye with
18:36a sharp stick.
18:37>> I mean, I can understand why you want
18:38everybody to see that photo.
18:41drawing, Joe.
18:42>> So can you guys see that?
18:46Maybe back it
18:47>> On my side.
18:49I don't know if I can make you big. Can
18:51I make you big?
18:53Right now, I just have the
18:58Oh, here. Let me stop sharing cuz this
19:00should help.
19:00>> There you go.
19:01>> Okay.
19:02>> That's good.
19:03Now it's too close.
19:04>> Too close?
19:05>> Okay.
19:08>> So if you can see my pen,
19:10>> Yes, I can see your pen.
19:11>> this is the proposed location of the
19:13building.
19:14>> Yeah.
19:14>> This is Blush Hill down here.
19:17>> Yeah.
19:17>> And Lonesome Trail.
19:19>> Yeah.
19:19>> This is the existing golf course
19:21clubhouse.
19:22>> Uh-huh.
19:22>> And then this is the little house on the
19:24island we've been referring to up here.
19:26>> Yeah.
19:26>> So, we would
19:28put the the structure here.
19:31And um most of the access to it's going
19:33to be from the golf course side, but on
19:35occasion we may have a small pickup
19:38truck or something go up there.
19:39Obviously, we'll probably plow it in the
19:41winter. Right now, um who plows the
19:44Lindy's drive? Do you do that, Mo?
19:45So, Mo plows the Lindy's driveway now.
19:48Um so, we would maintain access to that
19:50building
19:51>> to get off that hill.
19:52>> fire department access and things like
19:53that.
19:54>> Okay.
19:55>> Okay.
19:58And the old building you're talking
19:59about that you're going to knock down is
20:01the old clubhouse, isn't it?
20:03>> No, it's at the Lindy's house. So, if
20:05you can see my pen again.
20:06>> Yeah.
20:07>> So, there's a little garage
20:09right
20:11>> Yeah.
20:11>> It's probably
20:12>> bought the land around it
20:13>> It's not the clubhouse. The clubhouse is
20:15over here.
20:16>> No, no, no, no.
20:17>> owned by the governor, Dilling. Dilling
20:20came
20:22as a summer home like back years and
20:24years ago.
20:25Um and then they rebuilt
20:27>> Hold on, guys. Hold on. Can't quite hear
20:29you.
20:29>> Sorry.
20:29>> So, the old clubhouse is what you're
20:31referring to?
20:32>> Yes.
20:33>> Yeah, so there's a
20:34>> It'd be up there. The little shack.
20:36>> Right, there there used to be a little
20:38pro shop that was right behind the
20:40house.
20:41>> Right. That's still there.
20:42>> That's staying for now. Um and then
20:45there's a garage below it, if you will.
20:48That's the part that we're taking down.
20:50>> Okay.
20:51>> Yep, but the little pro shop stays there
20:53for now.
20:54>> Okay. Who owns that garage? You guys?
20:58>> I believe we own the garage. Yes, it's
21:00on our property.
21:01>> Depends on which garage you're talking
21:03about.
21:03>> Right.
21:04>> There's the the Lindy's have a very nice
21:07garage they built and that is on their
21:09property.
21:10>> Yes.
21:10>> That's what I thought.
21:11>> And that's staying.
21:12>> And that is staying. That's theirs and
21:14and we're not going to tear that down.
21:16>> I'm glad.
21:17I'm glad.
21:18>> But there there is but there is a
21:20building beside of it that we store our
21:23uh couple of pieces of equipment and and
21:26that is the one that we'd be tearing
21:28down because that's it's it's tired and
21:31an eyesore to the Lindy's.
21:33>> Okay, got it. Makes sense.
21:36And how are you going to access
21:40from the clubhouse
21:42over to the new building?
21:45If you're going to go over the golf
21:46course, you're just going to go over the
21:48golf course on the grass?
21:49>> Yes. Yeah, our superintendents and our
21:51greenskeepers, you know, they use their
21:53equipment to traverse the golf course
21:55all the time. So, again, the golf carts
21:58themselves, they basically will go in in
22:01the winter
22:02and then they'll come out and be out all
22:03summer by the clubhouse. Those don't go
22:05back and forth, but for fueling
22:07periodically, we have to fill up the
22:09golf carts. And then the tractors,
22:11they'll come the golf the superintendent
22:13will drive his buggy out to the shed,
22:15get on the lawnmower,
22:16do his thing, put the lawnmower away,
22:18get back on his buggy, come back to the
22:20clubhouse.
22:22>> Okay.
22:23>> So, your maintenance staff won't be
22:24won't be parking.
22:26>> Is there
22:27Is there a big rock still down there?
22:30>> There are several rocks in the first
22:32fairway.
22:33>> You have a little bit You have a You
22:35have a little bit of a
22:37uh You have a turnoff up there now.
22:40Right?
22:41>> Off of the driveway?
22:42>> Off of the off of this driveway, yeah.
22:45>> Yep.
22:45>> You have Don't you have a Okay, isn't
22:47there a big rock there?
22:49>> I don't think so. There's there's a pile
22:51of debris, but I There's no large rock.
22:54>> There's also a large large
22:56There is a large pile of sand
22:59that we that we have dumped there and a
23:01canvas that covers the sand.
23:04>> Down by the cart path on one.
23:07That's next to the driveway.
23:09>> Oh, down by the water.
23:10There's a stone there.
23:11Oh, stone there.
23:12>> Is that where Okay.
23:13>> No, that's So, that's down That's down
23:15here. So, this this little gray line is
23:18actually the cart path for the golf
23:19course. But, our our little building is
23:22up here.
23:22>> Okay, got it.
23:23>> You're right. There is a big rock. It's

26:46>> Oh, really?
26:47>> Oh, yeah.
26:48>> Yeah, we don't want that to happen.
26:49>> No.
26:50>> For sure.
26:50>> Especially with Joe name, I don't know.
26:52>> Yeah.
26:53>> Joe.
26:55>> Joe will make sure it doesn't happen.
26:56>> He has to stay in the room.

27:21>> Yeah, yeah, unless you travel somewhere,
27:23right?

27:24>> Hey, so as an aside, I don't know if
27:26Neil
27:27or Cheryl told you guys about the scam
27:29email we got.
27:30>> Yes, that that did come.
27:32>> So that was that was really crazy to
27:36think that that would happen.
27:37Um but very sophisticated, you know,
27:39whoever did it, they obviously [snorts]
27:41have a thing going.
27:42>> I don't know if everybody knows, but
27:43there's
27:44I guess the Northfield got hacked.
27:47>> Oh, really?
27:47>> And there's a big scam going around for
27:50East Rise now and there's zeroing in on
27:52Waterbury.
27:53>> Oh, boy.
27:53>> And what they do is uh you'll get a call
27:56and it'll have
27:58a phone number and it'll have the East
28:00Rise logo and East Rise looks totally
28:03legit.
28:04And somebody's going to tell you that uh
28:07there's been suspicious activity on your
28:09account
28:10and they need you to call this number
28:13for the bank
28:14and they're going to freeze your account
28:16and you got to get your debit card and
28:19and
28:20when you call that number, the person
28:22that answers says they're East Rise
28:24Credit Union.
28:25A number of people have gotten lost a
28:28lot of money.
28:29>> Oh, no, my goodness.
28:30>> What surprises me, nobody's
28:31>> Right, you see as soon as you give them
28:33that account number to freeze, they're
28:34>> And debit cards aren't covered by like a
28:36credit card, so they're they're not
28:37getting that money back.
28:38>> You would think they would
28:40let everybody know. I haven't seen
28:41anything about
28:43>> It just happened. They almost got my
28:44wife did that day.
28:45>> Really?
28:46>> When you call them, the person on the
28:47other end says, "I want to start by
28:48verifying your information. Give me your
28:50account information." That's when I'm
28:52like, "Yeah, no."
28:54Well, they do this a lot. You asked me
28:55to call you.
28:56>> This poor woman that I know lost $4,000.
28:58And what it was, her husband had just
29:01died and she was a mess.
29:03So
29:05>> Oh, that's so strong.
29:06>> Yeah, they do it cuz it works,
29:08unfortunately.
29:09>> And they're very aggressive.
29:10>> And and that my first reaction at
29:12looking at what was posted was,
29:14"Well, Waterbury's charging a lot for an
29:15application, but I guess that's what we
29:17have to pay." That was my you know
29:18>> [laughter]
29:18>> What did they ask you?
29:19>> Well, I'll tell you $3,500?
29:21>> Oh, Well, yeah. And and not what
29:23what made it worse was So, I met with
29:25Cheryl, right?
29:27Pre-application. I said, "Hey, I'm
29:29assuming we could do this
29:30administratively."
29:32And she was like, "Yeah, should be able
29:34to." So, we did the whole kind of here's
29:37the check amount, you know, just send in
29:39the check. So, I went back to our
29:41treasurer and the check amount was like
29:42$1,000, right?
29:44Which we went Cheryl and I went through
29:46all the numbers, it was $1,000.
29:49Got the check wrote, brought it in,
29:51handed in the application, and then it
29:53was like 2 weeks later.
29:56They don't send the email to me either,
29:57they send it to our general email
29:59account, which is our treasurer gets,
30:02and the bookkeeper, and she was like she
30:05sent it to us saying, "Hey, I just got
30:07this invoice from Blue Shield."
30:10And it was $3,100.
30:12And I was like
30:13And I'm reading through it and there's
30:15like bills for um
30:17uh occupancy inspections and and things
30:20that we don't Things that you guys don't
30:22do. Obviously, they're not from around
30:24here.
30:25But but then I'm like I'm like, "God
30:26damn it, Waterbury's going to hell. Now
30:28our permitting's going to hell." So, I'm
30:30like, "Neil, what the heck is going on?"
30:32And I'm I sent him a I said like, "I
30:34hate to be grumpy, but
30:36you didn't even give us You didn't even
30:37give us credit for our $1,000 we've
30:39already paid."
30:40>> [laughter]
