Planning Board Legal Notice for Public Hearing Meeting 11/16/05.

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:54 PM.

All members present will vote.

James Lavelle is before the Board to discuss this plan that was approved in 1980 but was never recorded. In order to get this plan recorded at this time a new Mylar would have to be done. Most of the information is the same except for a few address corrections. This will get the plan in a format that the registry will accept. After reviewing the minutes Ms. Killam reported that there were a couple of meetings that led to this approval and there was some disagreement between James Lavelle, Sr. and the Board. At the end of the meeting Mr. Lavelle commented 'Why don't you record it yourself?' Neither the town nor Mr. Lavelle recorded the plan. The lots are deeded by the plan and have been resurveyed.

The hearing was closed at 8:15 PM.

The next discussion was opened at 8:18 PM.

Ms. Grant distributed pictures of the scenic vista and the roadway. Ms. Grant reported on the difference between a scenic byway and a scenic road. Scenic
roads are under RSA 231, which puts restrictions on the use of the road, the side of the road, etc. There are no restrictions on a scenic byway, which is what Ms. Grant is advocating. This designation will make the road eligible for Federal Grants for enhancement projects. Ms. Grant sent a letter to the Office of Energy and Planning regarding the project. The Office of Energy and Planning responded stating that having the road declared a scenic byway would provide prestige and community pride with no restrictions. The office recommended the Planning Board submit an application for Rte. 121 to be included and designated a New Hampshire Scenic Byway, which will make the town eligible for Federal Grants. The application of Federal Grants must be in by January 20, 2006. Before you can be eligible the State has to give the stretch of road a scenic byway designation. It was suggested the application include as many pictures as possible as well as noting any historical sites along the way. It was also suggested that Verizon be contacted to get the specific cost of burying any poles along the road.

The Planning Board should formally request a survey from Verizon to see what it would cost to bury the utilities. The Cable Company may also want to be involved. The Planning Board needs to determine the definite start and finish point to determine which poles will be taken down. Some poles have a gray or green box on them. These boxes are juncture points. Verizon would need a police detail on the site. The Federal Grant does not cover the cost of burying the poles but they may cover the cost of a scenic outlook. The roadway will also be included in the state's tourist promotional display.

Mr. Stewart will be on site during the survey. Support from all the committees and Boards will be helpful. Mr. Dziechowski discussed the possibility of other communities being involved and including Rt. 121 (Stage Road) as a Historical Road from town line to town line.

Mr. Dziechowski will right the letters of application. If there are any historical buildings along the road pictures and a write up should be included with the application. Carol Grant will do the write up for the historical sites. Mr. DiMaggio felt the cost of rebuilding the stone wall should be included in the application.

The discussion was closed at 8:55 P.M.

Page 4, last paragraph, to read 'There was a question raised as to whether Mr. Earley, as a representative of the Fire Department should step down during this hearing. Mr. Earley chose to remain on the Board. The Chairman asked Mr. Morse if he would consider stepping down and Mr. Morse declined. RSA 673:14 was read. The Board agreed that Mr. Morse and Mr. Earley's decisions were in keeping with RSA 673:14.

Ms. Killam questioned where this ordinance should be placed in zoning. Mr. DiMaggio will check on this. Mr. Dziechowski came across a section on Legal References and this was read. There was a Supreme Court decision in 1992 regarding the developing of a coastline and this was discussed. Their decision is why the wetland bureau is not adverse to access because to deny access to a landowner is 'a taking without compensation'. Mr. Dziechowski wanted to make sure that in our Wetland Zoning changes the Board does not attempt to block a landowner's ability to access their land.

Mr. Dziechowski reported that the new Wetland Article would be much simpler. The state passed a regulation that will make the town automatically in sync with the state. The final document should be ready in two weeks.

Parking Lot Wetlands Buffer - this refers to commercial site plans. Conservation would rather see a variance from a septic system close to the wetlands than a parking lot. Mr. Dziechowski read Section 410:8 which would be modified. The idea is for a 100' setback from wetlands. Ms. Killam felt that this would need a lot of work. Ms. Killam noted that we were trying to get away from variances and this would be excessive.

Road Agent - Road Regulation Changes

Mr. Stewart stated that this regulation enables the Board of Selectmen to approve roads, approved by our Town Engineer vs. a town vote. Mr. Stewart stated that this Article is ready to go.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 PM.

Next scheduled Public Meeting - November 16, 2005.
