Tuftonboro Planning Board

Approved Minutes- September 20, 2007

Meeting called to order at 7 pm.

Present: Rick Friend, Tony Lyon, Ted Wright, Wilson Stewart, Dan Derby, Jack Parsons.

Tony and Rick attended the first lecture in the series of Municipal Law Lectures put on by the NHLGC. Tony felt that the lecture seemed to deal more with affordable housing than with conservation and development issues.

Dan suggested that the Board start a CIP file. Tony will continue to act as Planning Board liaison with the CIP, facilitating two-way sharing of relevant information. He says the CIP hopes to have a rough plan by mid-October.

Dan moved to approve the September 6 Minutes, Tony second, passed.

Wilson described Google Documents to the Board, and urged them to consider using this method of posting documents online to facilitate revisions. This would be especially useful when working with the Taylor Associates audit documents.

The Belastock merger application and notification forms were reviewed; Wilson moved to approve, Tony second, passed. There was discussion about the necessity of seeing the original deed, following which the Board recommended that a file memo be entered on proper procedure for mergers, 674:39a.

Bills

Ciandella- White Cliff/cell tower

     HEB- Zadeda Farms

Rick asked Vicki to make sure the Board has a current copy of the OEP's Planning Board Handbook. (Vicki has downloaded the Handbook from the OEP website, and will print it out, including the new Chapter 6 which was recently sent by OEP .)

The next meeting will be held on September 27 at Rick Friend’s house. Steve Whitman will be there to continue the discussion on the audit document. He has asked the Board to start thinking about priorities; this will give us information on how to do citizen inventories. In late October, he will meet with the board again, to plan out the next couple of years.

Rick would like to see more public meetings over the next couple of years, with Jeff and Steve.

7:30- Public meeting

MYTY/Clinton- #14-3-2/#14-3-3- Boundary Line Adjustment

Bryan Berlind was unable to attend; Matt Young presented. Matt has drawn up a second representative page, authorizing himself as representative. Application signed.

Board accepted application as complete.

Rick read the abutters list; the Board examined the plans.

This is a minor boundary line adjustment, changing a boundary line angle to avoid future problems over ownership of a dock.

The Board found checklists to be complete.

Pins are already set and labeled on the map.

Tony moved, Dan second, to approve the application. Rick signed maps.

Matt Young will bring in the mylar for Rick to sign.

Diane Whipple- #59-2-16- Minor Subdivision.

Kerry Fox presented. Wilson moved, Jack second, to accept it as a completed application; Rick read the abutters list and the checklists.

Property is in an LDR zone, hence a 2 ac. minimum lot size is required.

The plan involves subdividing out 2 ac. for Lot #1, 252’ frontage,  leaving 3.26 ac. for Lot #2, 285’ frontage.

Fox’s plan shows the topography, proposed driveway and house site.

The plan has  received a state subdivision permit.

Monuments are set, but not yet on plan.

Whipple wants to keep the “wooded island” toward the back of the land, specifying in the deed that it is “not to be cut”.

Jack says no driveway permit is needed.

Ted moved to close the public hearing, Jack second.

The Board advised Mr. Fox that they need  5 copies of the map, and a mylar.

Wilson moved to approve the application, w/ conditions; Ted second, passed.

Condition- monuments to be noted on mylar.

Wilson questioned whether input is needed from the fire chief and road agent regarding the driveway. He feels that reviews of driveway locations should be done prior to applications being approved. A department heads sign-off form should be given to the fire chief and road agent when the application is turned in. The road agent should get a copy of the plan anytime a driveway will be constructed on a town road; the fire chief is mainly concerned with driveways  for subdivisions of more than 3 lots.

Wilson feels there should be discussion of driveway regulations during the Master Plan process.

Jerry Holmberg and his son came before the Board to discuss a Preliminary Plan for land belonging to Amy Stockman on Canaan Rd.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm.
