Northwood Planning Board to Hold Public Hearings December 16
Proposed Changes to Land Use Regulations
The Northwood Planning
Board will hold public hearings on December 16, 2010, beginning at
7:00 pm at the Town Hall to receive public input on proposed changes
to its regulations.
The first proposal is to amend the existing
Northwood Development Ordinance to allow an accessory apartment to
an existing property with one other residential unit on the same lot
when specific criteria are met. An accessory apartment would
require a building and occupancy permit and other conditions would
be required such as adequate parking, septic system design and size
of lot. This proposal, if approved by the board after public
hearing, will be presented to the voters on the ballot in March.
The planning board has also proposed changes to Site Plan Review
Regulations which do not go before the voters, but may be approved
by the planning board after public hearing. The board has
proposed another level of review within the site plan regulations to
streamline the process for qualifying uses. This new “third
tier” enhances existing regulations for more involved proposed uses
in the Major and Minor Site Plan Review. After thorough
review, the planning board has proposed amendments to create another
level of review for those uses which may be considered of Minimal
Impact or are Home Businesses (as defined in the Ordinance.)
The
proposal also clarifies the differences in Landscaping requirements
for Major and Minor site plans.
The planning board welcomes
public comment on these proposals either at the public hearing or in
writing. Copies of the proposed language are available at the
town hall, Chesley Memorial Library, at the Northwood Post Office,
or on the website.
CBNA
Alumni Association
The CBNA Alumni Association is working hard to
plan a little gathering after the Alumni basketball game on
Wednesday, December 22. The first game starts at 5:30. We are
planning on having some snacks until 10pm starting after the end of
the second game. All Alumni and guests are welcome to join us and
mingle with one another.
Also, we are currently selling puzzles
for our fundraiser. Proceeds will be split between the Alumni
Association and the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy annual fund
campaign. Each puzzle has 300 pieces and resembles the Academy now
and then. One is black and white in color of the way the school used
to look and the other in color of an aerial shot of the current
Academy. Get your Christmas shopping done early and purchase a
puzzle OR two! The price of one is $20 or by a set (one of each) for
just $35.00. Get them while you can. If you would like to view them,
they are on the CBNA website, click on the Alumni Association. The
puzzles will appear on the left. If you have any questions or would
like to order see us at the Alumni basketball game or you may
