Meeting Minutes for August 2, 2005:
Ralph Carter makes a motion to approve minutes as written. Don Bormes seconds the motion. Vote: Unanimous. Motion passed.
Old Business:
A. Resort Zone for Steele Hill- Bill Cutillo presented. The discussion was one of Resort Overlay District vs Spot Zoning. Dave Lorch recommended changes to the Resort Overlay Draft. Bill Cutillo was agreeable to the changes. Dave was not sure the Overlay District could be applied in this case. He feels that Steele Hill fits into a regular zone. Ralph Carter liked the overlay idea. He also did not want to see the views at Steele Hill change. Helmut Busack expressed concerns that an Overlay District would apply to any and all areas in town if anyone wanted to open another resort. At this time Helmut requests that Andrew Livernois recuse himself from any issues concerning Steele Hill zoning, as Andrew is an abutter. Andrew recuses himself and sits as a member of the public. Jim Wells suggests that he would
rather see a Resort Zone than an Overlay District. Andrew Livernois states that as an abutter and a member of the community, he supports Bill Cutillo's plan. After a lengthy discussion, Ralph Carter decided that Resort Zone would be the way to go. He suggests that an Overlay District would be opening up a Pandora ’s Box and creating problems for the town. The Board discussed with Mr. Cutillo his proposed list of Types of Uses and what changes they suggested. The Board would like an explanatory paragraph as to what is being planned for Steele Hill and why, to be part of the finalized plan. Andrew Livernois asks that people not close their minds to Elderly Housing as one of the permitted uses in this plan. The discussion ends at 8:25 PM with Andrew Livernois rejoining the board.
New Business:
A. Proposed change in the delineation of the Prime Wetland #9 located at the mouth of Chapman Brook. Joe Plonski presented. With the help of DES, Mr. Plonski has been able to delineate Prime Wetlands and Wetlands to determine setbacks on his property. DES inspected the property in 6/05 and had no objections or concerns. The State requested the Town send them a revised map.
B. The Selectmen are soliciting input from the P.B. as they compile a list of roads which need improvement for the 2006 summer season. The BOS are also interested in what regions of Town need road improvements and what roads with high traffic volumes need improvement. The Board did not feel that they should have input on this matter as it would be purely personal opinion and that all of the dirt roads in town need to be improved upon.
Old Business- Continued:
B. Third draft of revisions to the Subdivision Regulations- Continued to next Workshop Meeting.
C. Response regarding services available from LRPC. Board recommendation for paying annual dues. The board discussed what services are offered by LRPC. Jim Wells states that the LRPC is currently mapping Gilmanton with the GPS System. The board would like Dave Lorch to contact LRPC to find out if they will map Sanbornton using the GPS system within the next year. If LRPC will sign a statement saying that they will, the board will pay their $2,455 dues for another year.
