PL2020-0022MSP; 264 & 292 Lakeside Ave; Proposal To Add 18 Sf To Connect The Two Buildings The public hearing opened at 11:01 AM. Applicant: Anthony Santagate addressed the board. The proposal is to connect the two buildings at 264 Lakeside and 292 Lakeside by a vestibule. He is in process of merging the lots as well. Abutter input: No one spoke for or against the application. Board discussion: T. Baker noted that in order to merge the lots, they need to be the same entity and mortgage or if a separate mortgage exists on the two properties you would need bank authorization to merge. B. Crawford brought up the fact that each unit has a water connection and one would need to be discontinued at the main under the street. Issue with that is Lakeside was recently redone and it would be messy. There is a five year moratorium period and that would be 2022. B. Crawford noted that the water service in 264 Lakeside had a newer service line and it would be ok if the disconnection was terminated for now in 292 Lakeside. There was discussion on possible escrow and waivers or agreements for when the moratorium period ends. https://www.laconianh.gov/AgendaCenter/GenerateMinutesFile?id=2003&agendaID=1195 1/2 3/12/2020 3/11/2020 - Minutes Chair W. Anderson noted that the applicant is responsible for the sewer connections and that eventually there will need to be only one sewer service. C. Roffo has been to the site and his issue is the stairwell where the connection will be. The stairwell will need to maintain the fire rating of 1 hour. The door can be open by magnet as long as they let go in emergency. A. Santagate stated that he will be using Total Security and will draw up what C. Roffo is looking for. The public hearing ended at 11:10 AM. Motion to approve the application with conditions of: Per city ordinance, the merged building can only have onesewer service connection to the City’s sewer main. The property owner is responsible for the sewer service tothe main. Due to the recent reconstruction of Lakeside Ave and the moratorium against road cuts, decommissioning one service is not feasible at this time. After the moratorium is lifted and the owner is renovating, or demolishing the buildings one of the sewer services will have to be capped. The owner and Public Works will need to develop a system to record both existing services against the one property in the interim; If buildings are combined, one of the domestic water services (264 or 292) will need to be discontinuedat the water main. In the interim one service (the ¾ inch service) will need to be shut off at the building and themeter removed. The property owner will need to assume liability for any failure of that service in the interimuntil the line is capped at the main. The property owner will need to cap the main in 2023 before May 15, 2023or after October 15, 2023; Properties will need to be merged through voluntary lotmerger, which requiresproperties to be owned under the same entity and be free of separate mortgages; If buildings are combined,property owner assumes liability of the water services to the water main, until such time that one of them isterminated, after the pavement moratorium is lifted on Lakeside Ave. Written agreement between LWW andapplicant is required; Applicant is responsible for hiring a contractor to perform water service termination work.A deposit will need to be provided to LWW prior to any work beginning, to cover inspection of the work.Amount to be determined at a later date.
