By Fran Emmons: GREENVILLE - Three subdivision projects were brought before the Greenville Planning Board at their last meeting, two of them new developments and the third an after-the-fact permit request. While no particular problems exist with any of the requests, all require further action before the board could grant permits, Code Enforcement Officer Jack Hart said. The first project considered is the subdivision of Thorell's RV park on Lily Bay Road. The park's New Hampshire owner, Dennis Thorell, would like to sell the lots to interested RV parties. There could be seven lots developed on the parcel, each a minimum of 10,000 s.f., Hart said. The property is served by town water and sewer, which could easily handled the sanitary needs of the RV owners. While there were no specific objections to the project, the board continues to work with Thorell to permit the subdivision. The second request was to consider an 11-lot subdivision off Rte. 15 on Overlook Drive. Owned by George Edmondson, the project would lead up to and surround the Kineo View Motel, Hart explained. These lots would be for residences and must be 40,000 s.f. or larger, and according to Edmondson's plan, most lots would exceed 2.5 acres. Edmondson was not ready to move forward with a formal plan at this point, but told the planning board he would return with a detailed project by the end of summer. The last request was for a three-parcel division done without a subdivision permit; one can divide a lot in two parcels once every five years without going before the planning board for a permit, but once the division jumps to three in less than five years, the project, even if not originally intended to be so, becomes a subdivision, Hart explained. Owner Niles McBrierty agrees that the matter needs to be corrected and is working with his attorney to have the legal papers drawn up to address the correction. The property in question fronts Lily Bay Road headed north. In other business, Doug Young was granted permission to construct stairs to the shore of Wilson Pond down a steep embankment, installing a concrete pad at the base to anchor the structure. The stairs would access a float that would be removed seasonally. The project meets shore land zoning requirements, Hart said. Young will have to get a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection as well, Hart stated. The board also heard a request from Tom Stade to turn the former Greenville Baptist Church on Moosehead Lake Rd. into apartments and a business. The change in use would add tax income for the town, Hart said. The board gave Stade conditional approval for the project pending confirmation that the septic and water systems for the property could handle the increased population.
