On the day of the Board’s next meeting with Jeff Taylor and Steve Whitman, Rick will drive them around Tuftonboro to get a feel for the character of the villages.

In a discussion about Class VI roads, Sue expressed her thought that formulating a policy should be part of the process of Master Plan development; she would like to discuss this subject with Taylor Associates.

In regard to moving to a numerical system of filing, Sue stated that the Board needs to anticipate future needs. The process can begin simply, relabeling files to prominently feature the relevant Tax Map numbers. Wilson explained some future complications, which might ensue if the system is not well thought out ahead of time. Sue said that a proposal for this project has been submitted to CIP.

Signage was discussed, with members describing examples of excessive and unaesthetic sign displays in town. If the total area exceeds that specified in the regulations, the owner can be asked to remove anything in excess.

Rick signed the paper plans for the MacAlpine/Merritt Boundary Line Adjustment, #50-1-10, which were not signed at the previous meeting.

Jack gave a brief rundown on the cyanobacteria situation in Mirror Lake. The danger appears to have dissipated, but hot, still weather presents a potential risk of recurrence.
