appeal to the height waiver of the cell tower. They will consult with Attorney
Upton regarding the legal issues.
Minutes
of the July 26 meeting were corrected and approved.
Rick
presented “The Planning Board in NH, a Handbook for Local Officials” prepared
by NH Energy & Planning. The Board suggested this could serve as basis for
new forms to guide Planning Board actions
Dan
stated that if he were Planning Board representative to the CIP, he would be
unable to attend most meetings.
The
Board discussed whether a Planning Board alternate could be chosen who would
also serve as representative to the CIP. Rick will call John Simms about this
matter.
Tony
has graciously agreed to continue on both Planning Board and CIP.
Rick
filled out the CIP form, the name of the project being listed as “rewriting
town ordinances”.

he will send a copy of the lists presented by Board members, classified and
prioritized, a week prior to the meeting.

Jack

Fenton
Varney was present to discuss Mountain Shadows. He proposed putting a
performance lien on the eleven lots that are dependent on construction of the
road for access and subsequent sale. It was moved, seconded and passed to
approve a bond of $112,450. Fenton will send a stamped copy of the plan in pdf format via e-mail, and will be present at the August 16
meeting so the bond can be approved at a regular public meeting.
The
Belastock Family Trust submitted papers for voluntary
merger of two deeded lots. The lots have been taxed as one lot, 35-1-6,
although two separate lots officially exist. The merger paperwork erroneously
described lots 35-1-6 and 35-1-7. The Board recommends that new forms be sent
to the Belastocks for correction and resubmission.
The
idea was presented that the town might at some point want to consider hiring a
“circuit rider” town planner; it would be possible to share expenses with
surrounding towns. Sue suggested that this should wait until the rewrite of ordinances is finished.
There
was a short discussion about possible alternates for the Planning Board. The
Board will revisit the question within a couple of weeks and try to make a decision.
