Second email from Paul Schlie. Thanks. Michael Behrendt Director of Planning and Community Development (“Town Planner”) Town of Durham 8 Newmarket Road Durham, NH 03824 (603) 868-8064 www.ci.durham.nh.us From: Paul Schlie [] Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 12:49 AM To: Michael Behrendt Subject: Re: Site Plan Regulations OVERHAUL *** Mike, Upon having the opportunity to more fully review the bulk of the documents, I notice they seem to substantially represent a bureaucrat's dream to create more needless requirements born at other’s expense to achieve near nothing in proportion to their likely expense to administer. I recommend the town should more simply allow a property owner to modify their property in any manor desired within its stipulated setback requirements, if not in contradiction to the zoning restrictions and building codes associated with said property; where any restriction to use should be associated with zoning regulations, not elsewhere. Where any desired change of use, modification of deployed structures and/or equipment, may only proceed after due notice being given to immediately likely affected abutters, regardless of whether the property owner or tenant requesting the modification be a private citizen, corporation, municipality, or state entity; and a corresponding public hearing arbitrated and determined by the planning board, must be held upon any such abutter requesting the same. All should have the freedom do with their property as they choose as long as it does not conflict with the zoning restrictions well known to be associated with the same, as zoning regulations are meant to protect the property owner’s, the local community’s, and town/state bureaucracy’s interests from being unreasonably encroached upon by each other's. -paul- (yes, please forward this to the planning board as feedback)
