Pledge of Allegiance
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Chairperson Donna Foster opened the meeting addressing the minutes of October 17th and November 5th. She told the board that there was not a quorum to accept either of the minutes. There were not 4 board members present tonight that were at either of the meetings.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: table the minutes of October 17, 2015 and November 5, 2015. Richard Krapf seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Next on the agenda was a Site Plan Review for Northern Extremes/Peter Gagne. He was coming before the board for the expansion of his snowmobile rental business at the Irving Station, 2267 Route 302 East, Bretton Woods, N.H., Map 208, Lot 5. The board looked over the application, letter to abutters, the ad for the paper and asked if all fees had been paid. The secretary told the board that all fees were paid.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: accept the Application for a Site Plan Review for Northern Extremes/Peter Gagne for the expansion of the business at the Irving Station in Bretton Woods, NH, Map 208, Lot 5. Richard Krapf seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Peter Gagne told the board that the original approval for the rental business was for a trailer the first year, not to be longer than 36 feet. There were to be no more than 16 snowmobile rentals also. He would like to have two cabins now, one for an office and one for a warming area for the renters and 24 snowmobiles. The two cabins would stay where they have been, on the east side of the property and slightly off the pavement. Peter Gagne brought in maps for the board to use for locating where the buildings would be.
There was a letter from Jason Mahon, Irving Oil Corp., giving consent for the snowmobile rental to stay on the Irving property in Bretton Woods from December 1, 2015 to April 15, 2015. (A hard copy of the letter will be attached to the minutes in the office.) Bonnie Moroney said that every year a letter from Irving would have to be brought in to the office allowing the snowmobile rental. The board only needed to have the letter every year before the snowmobile season. There was no reason to come before the board again unless there were changes to be made.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: approve the Application for a Site Plan Review for Northern Extremes/Peter Gagne, Irving Station, 2267 Route 3 East, Bretton Woods, NH, Map 208, Lot 5. Karen Saffian seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Chairperson Foster told the board that at the October 17th meeting the board had voted to make changes to the Zoning Ordinances. All those changes had to be brought to the Selectman by December 19th as Warrant Articles. Because the public needed to vote on any ordinances and/or changes, the board would have to place an ad in the paper for a Public Hearing. There were time limits so the first Public Hearing should be held January 7, 2016 with the second meeting, if needed, on January 11, 2016. Chairperson Foster told the board that she and the secretary would work on getting them written up sometime next week. Once the Selectman had received the warrant articles from the PLBD, they would then submit them to the lawyer to make sure all changes/additions were legal and written properly.
The Chair told the board that she had been to the Budget Committee the night before and presented the PLBD budget. The secretary budget was going from $4000.00 to $6000.00, legal from $1000.00 to $2000.00 and $1900.000 for the new GIS Mapping. She would also like to add a new line for computers. There were several computer bills for maintenance and they had been put under Miscellaneous. She felt that now that the secretary had her own computer there should be a line dedicated to that in the budget. The board has gone over their budget this year and that is why she has put in for more money.
The secretary also told the board that she had handed in her resignation for March, 2016.
The secretary told the board that she thought this would be a good time to get together all the information that was gathered for cell towers and make a check list of the things to be done, things cell towers are responsible for, people that could help the board with specific things, etc. Richard Krapf said all the lawyer fees that were garnered during this time should have been billed out to the applicant and the fee for the secretary doing the research for the board. The Chair asked Richard if he would please look into fees that could be charged out to applicants for wireless networks.
Evan Karpf had a letter sent to him from the Planning Board regarding the notice they had received from the FAA and the application for a wireless cell tower off of Fieldstone Lane. Evan had the board the report they had asked for and how he wants the airport to be more active with the town. He wanted to know also if the board was focusing just on his business or if there was more to the letter that had been sent to him. The Chair told Evan that the letter to him was in response to the letter the board had received from the FAA, nothing more.
Richard Krapf made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Karen Saffian seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 8:00 PM.
