Re: 15 Rock Street Sketch Plan Review
Dear Susan:
Enclosed please find the below documents related to the submission of an application for a sketch plan
review of a proposed 4 lot subdivision on Rock and Catherine Street. As per the city requirements, 3
completed packets and one electronic version of the below information are being submitted to your office.
1. Completed and executed Sketch Plan Submittal Check List;
2. Preliminary Subdivision Application and Check List;
3. Short EAF
4. Proposed Subdivision Plan; and
5. Application Fee in the sum of$330.00.
Per our discussions the last several months, this is an application seeking the planning board's input
regarding the proposed four lot subdivision. As we have discussed with your office and the building
department, in the absence of the draft provisions pertaining to historic structures/carriage houses allowing
residential uses being enacted, we are seeking to have the historic barn on its own separate lot in order
that we may preserve and restore the structure for residential use. The barn pre-dates the main house at
15 Rock Street, which was constructed in1867. The historic structure has room for 2 stalls of parking and a
small studio apartment with loft bedroom above the garage bay. The exterior would maintain its existing
appearance. If the planning board is amenable to the subdivision as proposed, we understand our next
step would be to seek approval of the zoning board for all the necessary variances, including substandard
lot size.

Estimated water increase would be 110 gallons/day for the historic barn structure (one bedroom) and either
330 or 440 gallons per day for the other two single family lots, dependent upon whether a 3 or 4 bedroom
home gets constructed.
The required three hard copies of the application will be submitted to you at city hall. Please let me know if
anything further is required for this matter to be placed on the planning board's agenda for consideration
and input. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Very truly yours,
