When Performance Guarantee is signed and the Attorney General has approved the documents and any other deficient items listed in the March 15 minutes are resolved then the remaining plans and mylar will be signed. 2^nd. All in favor.

Agenda is ok for April 19. Rick thought that maybe the board should set up a plan where things could be looked at prior to the 3^rd Thursday.

A letter was received from a developer asking questions concerning building retirement housing. He should come to the board for preliminary discussion.

Rick reported that he and Dan had met with attorney Rob Ciandella to evaluate our records concerning the proposed cell tower, to make sure all the “t’s” were crossed and the “i’s” dotted in case there is a court case. He is the lead Attorney in the state for communication facilities. Rick would like the board to go forward with him and would get permission from the Selectmen, because that is where the money would come from. Tony made motion for the board to sign the letter of intent with Ciandella. Joan 2^nd. Sue is concerned about timing and we are already into this application. Motion carried. Town pays not the applicant.

Rick has also been in touch with David Maxson, a technical reviewer for telecommunications to help us review the application. He needs two public reviews. Joan and Sue were concerned “ are we going to have to hear everything over again, the 65 day deadline is approaching. Why can’t board send him all the info have him review it and then come to a public hearing. Mr. Chianas of White Cliff is familiar with Mr. Maxson and knows he always want two hearings. Rick knows Mr. Maxson is not available for the next two regularly scheduled Planning Board meetings. Mr. Chianas asked if the Planning Board could possibly continue their meeting to May 3^rd? Majority of the board did not understand why if Maxson had all the “stuff’ he could then come to a meeting and answer questions. Rick will call him and find out. Dan moved to hire Maxson. Tony 2^nd. Wilson felt board was too far into the application and the board should not have to have an outsider make decisions or drag this on. Sue also did not understand why he needed two meetings. Tony felt it was important to have experts.

Wilson thought the checklist should be started and why isn’t the board reviewing some of that tonight instead of spending all this time on lawyers and experts. He is prepared to go forward and did not understand why the rest of the board was not.

White Cliff will be at the April 19^th meeting and the board will proceed with Site Plan checklist.

Dan will update his issues list with the minutes and have them out to all hopefully by Monday. He will also send to Chianas.

Rick has contacted Brian Underwood, at $225.00 per hour and asked him to give an opinion on the Boggini report. Sue and Wilson questioned that. Wilson moved that the board not retain the services of an appraiser to examine the other appraiser. Sue 2^nd. 2 in favor. 4 opposed. Dan moved to hire an appraiser. Joan 2^nd. 4 in favor 2 opposed. Tony made motion to hire Cathy Smith. Sue 2^nd. 3 in favor. 1 against. 2 abstained. No vote.

Wilson had info to disperse; Moultonboro’s file on cell towers, it’s in zoning not site plan. He distributed to all board members “interesting” things in their application.

Discussion closed on the cell tower.

Sue is concerned about the budget to hire attorney’s and that the PB did not budget, nor does the Town have enough of a legal budget now that they realized there will be a substantial Attorney’s bill for the bonding for the Gould property.

Meeting Adjourned 9:30PM
