Minutes Review:
November 14, 2013
Mr. Trammell offered a motion to approve the Minutes of November 14, 2013 as written. Mr. Maturo seconded the motion.
Discussion: Chairman Bussiere said he was concerned that maybe Mr. Scalley (who is not present at this meeting) may have some changes to offer. It was decided that if he did, at the next meeting (in January) he could offer them.
Chairman Bussiere said the Budget Committee reduced the ZBA request for 2014 in the (secretary) salary and the books ( NH Planning and Land Use Regulations) Ms. Karpf (also a member of the Budget Committee) said the Budget Committee discussed cutting those line items but after it was explained that the increase in the Secretary salary was not an increase in her hourly pay rate but an expansion of her hours worked, the Committee voted the original request.
The vote was 4 – 0. The motion carries.

Public Hearing:
Continuation of Public Hearing – Application for Special Exception – Map 419 Lot 15 – to continue excavation of approximately 30,000 cubic yards over a five (5) year period – Carl Brooks/AB Logging/Horizons Engineering agent
Chairman Bussiere told the Board that the Secretary had received a phone call and later an e-mail which was forwarded to the Board members, from Horizons Engineering, requesting that this public hearing be continued to the January meeting of the Board. He said the e-mail referenced Provan & Lorbers’ report and Horizon Engineering’s response timeframe
as the reason for this request.
Chairman Bussiere said he received new Plans from Provan & Lorber regarding this project. They will be in the ZBA members’ box in the Selectmen’s Office for anyone who wants to review them.
Ms. Karpf offered a motion to continue the Brook’s excavation (Map 419 Lot 15 – request for special exception) public hearing to the January 9, 2014 meeting. Mr. Maturo seconded the motion. The vote was 4 – 0. The motion carries.
Communications and Miscellaneous:
Ms. Karpf asked if the Board should include the e-mail from Town Counsel, Jae Whitelaw, regarding the zoning question associated with the Brooks excavation application. She said she thought the e-mail gave valuable information and a definite answer to questions regarding the R2 zone and the Bretton Woods Concept Plan. Attorney Whitelaw’s conclusion was, the R2 Zone is part of the original 1979 Ordinance. (Attached) Ms. Karpf said she didn’t want this information to get lost. She wanted it to be available to all future Boards.
