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).

00:48>> 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.

01:17not 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

05:37storage 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

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

07:28member and a member of the club.

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

20:21I

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

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?

27:23>> Yeah.

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]

30:41>> I was like, "What are we doing?"

30:43>> This architecture stuff is scaring me.

30:44>> It should. I'm telling you.
