To Do Folder:
The contents of the To Do Folder were gone over.
Mosaic Artiques is still not completed regarding the sign per Marcia Keller, Chair. Trudy Willett as Building Inspector needs to do this with assistance.
Summary from the OEP Planning Conference:
Jim Bibbo deferred the comments on “Roads” for Sonny Harris to give the presentation on this.
Jim Bibbo also attended the Work Force Housing meeting. He commented that this only passed in a couple of towns this past year. Some thoughts on this included the misconception with the title. Perhaps a different terminology should be used, such as affordable housing. The appropriate RSA could be used, but identify it as something else. Another topic Jim Bibbo attended was Law, which has to do with Zoning and Excavations with the most of it pertaining to the Board of Adjustment.
On keeping records, the electronic records need to be kept for the same period as paper
records which is 10 years. This decision was made on September 29, 2009, under RSA 91AIII-a, Chapter 299, laws of 2009, House Bill 206.
Marcia Keller, Chair thanked Jim Bibbo for his input.
The Gravel Pit extension wording:
This is no longer an issue and will not be worked on any further.
Zoning Changes: written suggestions from board members:
Jim Bibbo advised the State has Model Ordinances and his thoughts were for some planning board members to request copies of them.
Jim Bibbo summarized his comments on telecommunication antennas and towers in town. Jim Bibbo advised the Director of the Office of Energy, Planning will have the Model Municipal Ordinances relative to the deployment of personnel wireless communication facilities and any NH Municipality can request a copy.
Bill Glennie proposed a definition change in Zoning.
No other suggestions for changes from board members were available at this time.
Marcia Keller, Chair received a letter regarding Zoning Changes from the Conservation Committee, and read portions to the board members, stating they are looking forward to working with the Bradford Planning Board in reviewing Town Ordinances. Also the Innovative Land Use Techniques book was discussed.
The New Hampshire 2009-2010 Land Use Law in Review was discussed, and will be put on a PDF file for everyone.
The objective of the Comprehensive Review is to base the Zoning Ordinance on the Master Plan.
Bill Glennie will try overlaying the conservation commission maps.
This will be delayed until the end of June.
