Consensual Consultation – Greg Spangenberg, Field Supervisor, Weyers Consulting:
Marcia Keller, Chair introduced Greg Spangenberg who is representing TDS on running some fiber optic cables in Bradford. There would be a cement base measuring 34” X 54” and a cabinet 5 ft X 4 ft set on the pad. Specs and pictures of cabinets were presented as well as product data sheets for the board members to look at. They are proposing setting up a cabinet between Bacon Road and Route 114 on David Longs property which would be visible. These cabinets can be screened or in some instances, plantings have been done around them. TDS would keep the area plowed in the winter.
RSA 674:30 (1) was read and discussed by the board.
Motion was made by Phil LaMoreaux, Vice Chair to waive all Site Plan Requirements for the proposed pads that are less then 200 square feet in accordance with RSA 6430:30 (1). Jim Bibbo seconded.
Motion was withdrawn by Phil LaMoreaux and Jim Bibbo as seconded, as this is a Conceptual Consultation and is non binding.
Marcia Keller, suggested contacting the Local Government Center to see if the Zoning requirements can be waived.
Decision was that a Site Plan Application be given to Mr. Spangenberg who will fill this out and return with necessary checks to notify the abutters. Mr. Spangenberg advised they are in hopes of having the project completed by October. It was noted that a note from Mr. Long needs to be received by the Planning Board authorizing TDS to request information.
A Public Hearing will be scheduled for June 14th, 2011.

Planning Board Role Under RSA 674:1, (A) & (B):
Under RSA 674:1, (a) & (b) the Planning Board discussed promoting the Master Plan and recommendations related to long range planning and development in town. Highlighting some of these considerations was the need of studying and reporting on the Highway Department and Road Committee activity. The Planning Board could make recommendations to the Selectmen. Andrew Pinard, as citizen, acknowledged that three years ago, the then Road Agent and the Chief of Police worked on conditions of the roads and reported to the Road Committee. The last minutes recorded from the road Committee is dated May 23, 2007. A good highway map is needed for the town. A letter will be drafted to the Selectmen to encourage the Road Committee for an analytical look at conditions of roads relative to traffic count and come up with prioritization for how long it could be anticipated the current roads would hold up under their current traffic load. This report would include scheduling them appropriately. CNHRPC does have traffic counts and Bill Glennie will check into this.
Update on Fair Share Report from CNHRPC:
Andrew Pinard advised he will check on forms sent to him by Marcia Keller and will update those that need updating on the Web Site. There are no longer any alternates to the Planning Board. More copies of the 2010-2011 NH Planning and Land Use Regulations have been received.
Forest Street was brought up as an Emergency Management concern for both emergency standpoint as well as future subdivision. Other roads were discussed as well.
An analysis group will meet on Thursday, June 9, 2011 and report back to the Planning Board in a month or two.
Meeting adjourned at 9:05pm.
Respectfully submitted
Marjorie R. Cilley
Secretary
