Carroll Planning Board
Meeting Minutes
September 4, 2014
“These minutes of the Town of Carroll Planning Board have been recorded by its Secretary. Though believed to be accurate and correct they are subject to additions,
deletions and corrections by the Planning Board at its next meeting when the Board votes its final approval of the minutes. They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSAS 90-A: 2.
Members Present: Chairperson Donna Foster, Richard Krapf, Selectperson Representative, Bonnie Moroney, Mike Hogan, Evan Karpf
Members of the Public: Joan Karpf (recording), Eric and Leslie Bergum, Michael and Michelle Poche
Minutes taken by Rena Vecchio, Secretary
Pledge of Allegiance was done by most
A quorum being present, Chairperson Foster called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. First on the agenda was the approval of the minutes of August 7, 2014. Chairperson Foster asked if everyone had the chance to look over the minutes and if there were any questions or corrections. There were none. Michael Hogan made a motion to: accept the minutes of August 7, 2014 as written. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed with 4 ayes and 1 abstention. Evan Karpf was not at the August 7th meeting.
Donna Foster said at the last meeting, Michael Hogan had been voted in as the Land Use Account Agent. However, the Treasurer, Sue Kraabel, has since spoken up and said it really should be the secretary for the boards. She is the one that takes in the money for the applications, does the mailings (postage) and does the advertising for the application.
Michael Hogan made a motion to: nominate Rena Vecchio, secretary for the Planning Board, to be the Land Use Account Agent. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Chair said she had sent the secretary pages of the Site Plan Review and the Sub-division Regulations that had been looked at by the Board last year. No vote had ever been taken on them. She said if the PLB were to vote for them there would then have to be a Public Hearing.

The changes in the Site Plan Review were from:
1. Section 4 Filing and Submission of Completed Application
• Article 4.03
2. Article IV Performance Bond.
The changes in the Subdivision Regulations were:
1. Section 2 Definitions
• Pages 1 and 2
2. Section 21 Administration and Enforcement
• Pages 51 thru 54
The Chair said she would email the secretary her copy of the Site Plan and Subdivision Regulations with the changes marked in red and the deletions in parenthesis.
The Chair also said she feels that the Board should approve Road Agent to do the initial inspections of the new roads and if he feels the need for a Third Party Review, it may be asked for at the Applicants expense.
Evan Karpf expressed his concern on whether the Road Agent would need to be certified in order to do the inspections. He said there is knowledge and information the Road Agent would need to protect the Town and the future of the Town. He said his questions were:
1. Does the Road Agent need standards to go by?
2. An engineer would have the training and education to access the road construction and what is there. Would the Road Agent?
3. Do other Town’s hire only engineers?
The Chair said engineers are not required to do the inspections. It is preferred that the Road Agent does them but is expected to be educated on the inspections and to keep up with the changes in the requirements. She said she had emailed the New Hampshire Municipal Association on this and that is what they had said. Evan asked for that email to be sent to the board.
Donna Foster said that on August 29th, Richard Nelson had emailed her his resignation from the PLBD due to health reasons. She suggested that Richard Krapf, appointed in May 2014 as an alternate, be appointed to Richard Nelson’s seat until March 2015. At that point Mr. Krapf can either run for that seat or ask to be appointed again as an alternate. She said that Richard Krapf has been at every meeting since May and has a good start on how the Board works. Bonnie Moroney made the motion to: appoint

Richard Krapf to finish out Mr. Nelson’s term, March 2015, on the Planning Board. Michael Hogan seconded and the vote passed unanimously.
Evan Krapf said he still had not seen the minutes to the illegal Non-Public that was held in June. The secretary said they had been handed out at the last meeting, August 7th and he had not been at that meeting. She told him the minutes were available in the office.
Evan Karpf said the board had voted on the conditions on Hunt Properties and they had been no different than the conditions place on them in April 2011. He said there have been 39 instances, 1000’s of dollars spent on attorney fees and at least 4 to 5 Public Hearings that had to be paid for. All this and the board has the same conditions as in April 2011. Evan Karpf asked for this to be reflected in the minutes.
The Chair asked if there were any questions or any things to be added by the Public. There were none.
The Chair went on to say that the Master Plan Committee had meet before the PLBD meeting tonight. There were many things discussed as renovating, new buildings, locations etc., that were now ready to bring before the board. She asked if November 6th could be advertised as a presentation to go over the Committee’s review of things and the costs that are attached. Tara Bamford from North Country Council would be giving the presentation. Donna said they would like this to be advertised and to have the home owners notified in Bretton Woods. She said a lot of them would not be able to vote but it would be nice to hear what they had to say. Evan Karpf made a motion to: designate November 6th from 6:30 to 8:30 for a meeting regarding the Master Plan Committees findings and that the Board would be flexible if there were any applicants. Michael Hogan seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Michael Hogan seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
