Call to Order and Roll Call:
Marcia Keller, Chair called the April 27th Work Session of the Planning Board to order at 7:00pm. with Phil LaMoreaux, Sonny Harris, Barry Wheeler, Harry Wright, Selectmen Representative, Bill Glennie, Jim Bibbo, Alternate and Marge Cilley, Secretary present.
Barbara Vannata is absent.
Motion was made by Phil LaMoreaux to approve the February 23, 2010 minutes as written. Seconded by Barry Wheeler. Laura Spector name needs correcting. Motion carried with edit 5-0.
To Do Folder:
Mention was made that there are four copies of the Master Plan available and if someone needs one, they can be ordered from CNHRPC at a $10.00 fee per copy.
Discussion ensued regarding the measuring of the sign on the building at Mosiac Artiques, Caroline Demers. Marcia Keller, Chair indicated she would talk with the Selectmen at their next meeting.
Wording of Gravel Pit Extension Permit:
It was explained that a Gravel Pit owner states he has to report to the State every two years regardless and had asked to extend the Town Permit every four years, so he would not have to do permitting on an odd year, but would coincide with either two or four years. This is in section XVIA2 of the Excavation Regulations. Marcia Keller, Chair advised they need a copy of whatever the State does require. It was also suggested the Planning Board talk with Mary Pinkham Langer for input before making any changes, and Marcia Keller, Chair will call her. If there were to be a change, a Public Hearing would need to be held. This will be brought up at the May 11, 2010 meeting for a decision.
Corsair Realty – Harriet Hobbs, Pleasant Valley Road Follow-up:
Discussion ensued regarding the Gravel Pit owned by Corsair Realty and correspondence received from them as well as to them. Among other correspondence to Corsair Realty was a Notice of Decision on November 11, 2009 advising the Planning Board declared the Corsair Realty Gravel Pit, Map 7, Lot 29 as abandoned with full reclamation to be done prior to June 30, 2010 according to the minimum and express reclamation standards unless a permit has been applied for and approved prior to that date.
Marcia Keller, Chair seated Jim Bibbo for Barbara Vannata
Motion was made by Bill Glennie to forward a letter to Corsair Realty to remind them of the June 30, 2010 deadline, and they are required to either submit an Application or Reclamation plans need to be addressed. If this is not done by the June 30, 2010 deadline, enforcement, fines and penalties will be assessed. Seconded by Jim Bibbo. Motion carried unanimously.
Other Business to come before the Board:
Marcia Keller, Chair asked for accomplishments hoped for in the coming year, and some concerns are:
- Zoning – Looking for approach from Board Members for specifics
- Workforce Housing – Public education needed.
It was suggested a letter be written to Ledgewood Pines regarding the June 8th 2010 deadline for their Road Bond with expectations everything will be in order, or be subject to disapproval of their application.
The Master Plan update needs include discussion with the Conservation Commission as well as any other group in town who may be interested. A Sub-committee needs to be set up. They will check with CNHRPC for possible examples. Marcia suggested for the members to bring specifics in, in writing.
1. Ideas – Work with Conservation.
2. Do something on our own.
3. Amend what we already have.
4. Windmills brought up to address.
5. Protect Water.
6. Agricultural Soils.
CIP should be worked on now as well, and hopefully be completed by October, 2010. Dick Keller had volunteered as Sub-committee member. Bill Glennie will be the Planning Board member, and other names mentioned were: Budget Committee member Don Jackson or George Cilley. Also Jon Marden was mentioned as a possible member. Department Heads will be checked with to find out their needs to help the Budget Committee as well as the Selectmen. The last CIP was worked on in 2007.
