There was a note from Shirley Galvin saying: Do you know what this is? I have a

Mylar and the plan was approved with conditions ??? Ms. Killam said it is a note from the Registry, the cost/amount due for recording the Betournay plan. Mr. Dziechowski said it probably belongs in the Selectmen’s office, where they have the Conservation budget. Ms. Killam questioned that the plan that Shirley has is dead? Mr. Dziechowski said we probably should take some action to rescind the subdivision. Ms. Killam said it will just do that by itself.

Keach-Nordstrom Associates dated 2/2/06 re: outstanding invoices for inspection services.

Ms. Killam cited several line items of projects. She noted that the developer is expected to pay for it but the bill is always in the name of the Town.

Ms. Killam reviewed Information downloaded from the State website re: Boundaries, Fences, and Common Fields. Basically RSA’s on Fences/Maintenance, and Fence Viewers who make decisions if there are neighborhood disputes.

Keach-Nordstom Associates dated 2/3/06 re: Invoice for Lincmark RT Subdivision; Gagnon Site Plan; Cogswell Farm.

Office of Energy and Planning memo dated 2/6/06 re: 13^th Spring Planning Conference.

This is on Sat., April 1^st, paid by the Town, no one volunteered to attend at this time.

Next Ms. Killam read a Legislative Bulletin, House Bill re: Tie Votes/The House Municipal County Govt. Committee was scheduled to hear HB 1339 on 2/14/06. This Bill requires any tie vote of a local land use board be declared a vote in favor of approval. There was some discussion of voting and having a quorum, etc. To abstain in this case is equal to acquiescence to the majority.

James Lavelle Associates dated 2/15 re: Request for continuance of Schneider Lot Line Adjustment Plan.

James Lavelle Associates dated 2/15 re: Request for continuance for Chambers Subdivision Plan.

Ms. Killam read; Re: Lavelle Associates’ two letters dated 2/15 ask the board to please accept these as a formal request to continue both hearings scheduled for 2/15/06 that are on our agenda for this evening, request they be continued to March 1^st or the next available meeting. Ms. Killam said she would prefer to save the Mar. 1^st meeting for the Master Plan and move these two hearings to Mar. 15^th.

Harold Morse made a motion to move both continued public hearings, the Schneider Lot Line Adjustment Plan and the Chambers Subdivision Plan to March 15, 2006 Meeting; Paul DiMaggio seconded the motion. The board voted unanimously in favor of the motion.

Ms. Killam recommended holding the approval of all the meeting minutes to the end of the meeting to allow Mrs. Carol Grant to speak.

8:05p.m. Scenic Byway Discussion/Carol Grant noted that Dr. Perreault’s house on Main St., is one of the most beautiful houses, there is lots of town history attached and previous Selectmen lived there at one time. Mrs. Grant was disappointed when she read the RSA’s and found that the first .35 of a mile of Rte. 121 is not eligible because it is a commercial zone but we still have .75 of a miles. Under the RSA rules we lost four houses. Ms. Killam thought it would then start with the two houses at Robie Ln., and Mrs. Grant said at Ruth McPherson’s house. Mrs. Grant pointed out that two of the four lost houses would have been disqualified. For example the Difeo house has been so rebuilt that it doesn’t even resemble the original home and the Community Center is minimized by the extension. You don’t see the Historic Home it is. Included in the houses of this project are the houses of the three residents who petitioned for Atkinson to become an independent town.

Mrs. Grant reported that Main Street included three farms, Ted Stewart’s/Stewart Farm, Edna Wright’s/Dow Farm, and another which she could not remember. Early Selectmen in the Town lived on this street. The Ward house had the first Atkinson Town Meetings and the original Atkinson Academy is still all there. Mrs. Grant reported that she remembered that the Planning Board voted to make application for a scenic and cultural byway to run from one Town border to the other Town border. The RSA makes that vote null and void. She requested the board revote to exclude the .35 of a mile. She said at the next work session of the Planning Board she would like to bring in a copy of the first draft of the narrative of the application for their review. Ms. Killam said the next workshop meeting would be on Wed., March 1^st.

Ms. Killam then referred to the letter that Mrs. Grant created which will be sent to Main Street residents involved and suggested possibly making it two pages and the first page being short and explaining who we are, what we are doing and asking if they object to their home being used as part of the application. The second page would be the longer text. Mrs. Grant asked how we would know if they don’t want a picture of their house included in the Town application?? She added that if people are lucky enough to own one of these historic homes, they should be proud to be included. Mrs. Grant reported that she gave Mrs. Galvin a list of all of the resident addresses of all the people to get a letter,

Ms. Grant noted that there were only three barns left from the Revolutionary Period and pointed out that the Constitutional Convention was held at Ruth McPherson’s house.

There is a lot of history on that street, not just Atkinson history but NH history.

Mr. DiMaggio also agreed that the letter should be shortened. Ted Stewart volunteered to go house to house. He felt that many of the people had no idea they are in such historical homes. Mr. Dziechowski noted that we are not obligated to do this, but it would be nice. Mrs. Grant said there has to be a public hearing, the regulations require it and the home owners would be notified of the public hearing at that time.

Ms. Killam said she liked the idea of doing it in person and hand-delivering the letter. Mrs. Grant said she would like to go with Ted.

Top of pg. 3, delete the sentence; There is also the issue of Eminent Domain. Never said.

This would be not an eminent domain issue, this would be a wireless carrier and a willing seller coming to a deal which our zoning firmly prohibits. It was suggested this be investigated as part of the Master Plan. Compliance with the Environmental Reform Act of 1996.
