Comments:
Mildred Kittredge, Zoning Board advised her comment is on the comment that was concerning the Chair of the Zoning Board about building on a Class VI road, which sounds as if maybe it is policy, and it is not policy, it was an individual case, and thought it should be made clear. Sorry I did not pick up on it at the last meeting.
To Do Folder:
CNHRPC is looking for the planning board to nominate two representatives from the Town of Bradford to the Selectmen. Bill Glennie who has been a representative advised it is a wonderful way to find out what is going on in the immediate region. It a relatively low impact meeting, which meets 5 times a year.
A letter will be written to the Selectmen. This is in accordance with RSA 36463 representative to Central NH shall be nominated by the Planning Board from residence of public community. Representatives may also be elected or appointed officials of the community.
Motion was made by Charles Meany to nominate the names of Bill Glennie and Jane Johnsen as representatives to Central New Hampshire from the Town of Bradford. Motion carried 6-0. Bill Glennie abstained.
Revised plan for Pizza Chef and Dunkin Donuts will be brought up later.
Check and plans still needed from the Pfeifle’s, to record at MCRD and complete their two lot subdivision.
Conceptual Consultations:
1. George Carafa, Minor Subdivision, West Road, Map 1, Lot 4
George Carafa came before the planning board regarding a two lot subdivision in Bradford and was advised he should request a waiver for the 3 to 1 ratio for dimensions. These lots will consist of 4 acres and 28 acres.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised that Conceptual Consultations are non binding between the applicant and the board, but are recommendations only. Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised that they either need to see buildable acreage on each lot, or waiver request on the larger lot. Mr. Evans, Land Consultant is working on this for Mr. Carafa. Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised Mr. Carafa if the application was received within a week, then he could be included in the June10th meeting.
2. Peter Isham, Gravel Pit, Pleasant Valley Road, Map 6, Lot 106.
Peter Isham came before the board advising that the rock stockpiled in his pit came from widening of Route 114. He wants to process the material which would include crushing, and close the pit. At this time, Mr. Isham advised Henniker Crushed Stone is charging $5.00 per yard to crush, at least for the town. Opinion of the board is that the permit process be used and he should obtain a permit to operate a gravel pit, which would be good for three years, and would include closure and reclamation. Robert Stewart, Jr., RCS Design is working on this with him. A Site Walk was agreed upon, however no date was set at this time.
3. Nate Kimball, Valley Excavation, Gravel Pit Breezy Hill Road, Map 3, Lot 82-1A
Nate Kimball came before the planning board and presented a small copy of the original plan that was accepted as a gravel operation. Mr. Kimball advised that due to the quality of the material, he is seldomly excavating there anymore, but using the area as a material storage area. Has a valid $3,000.00 bond. Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised that if an exception for any of the items, a request in writing, with an explanation would be required. This permit would be for a three year period.
