Other
Paul Bussiere, said he was there as ZBA, he said he was checking to a request from a person wanting to bring horses. He said he had forwarded this information to Rena Vecchio, Ken Mills and Dave Scalley. The lawyer said that we have to state that certain things are not allowed, if that is not there is comes under “A Taking” and the board has not legal right to say a person was not able to do something. Paul Bussiere said that we need to be very specific about what we allow and don’t allow.
Ken Mills said that the congress has given land owners more rights to what they can do with their property. He said we need to go and read the new RSA’s and make sure we don’t put any new regulations and find out we are against the new law. He mentioned alternative dwellings units and that would be like added a small in-law type building to your property, as long as they follow the existing regulations that the government has set forward.
Also from the attorney about the cell tower, we never addressed the reference Special Use Permit. We never did this as we don’t have one, and were not aware that we needed to do this, so we need to have another meeting next month and open to the public to address this and the fact that we do not have this permit. Rena will put in the paper and send out notices to the abutters. It’s under a 407D, its part of the ordinance that we need to address and correct for the future. That will need to be voted on by the town at the next election.
Ken Mills said he received a notice about Lumber Harvest and that there is an informational meeting Aug. 23, 2016, if any of the members want to attend, he will get the information to them.

There were two people came to a meeting in Feb about putting in Yurks, and that they have purchased property and they will be coming to the board. The code enforcement office said that this should come under all the rules and regulations of a Camp Ground. Jeremy Oleson, said that this should be a special exception and going to ZBA.
Richard Krapf said that he had brought up the gentleman he had been working with to see about getting regulations and set up properly to protect us from cell towers coming in. They said that they would like to put this on the next agenda, to discuss more.
Bonnie Moroney, said she wished to bring up Stan the building inspector and that he is not coming back to the board on the conditions that we have put on, and people are moving forward doing what they want and not doing the conditions that we have put on them. Example is 302 Grill is open but never follow through with what we told her that needed to be done. Bonnie said that she wished to go to the Select board meeting and address this problem and that is needs to be addressed.
Chairman Mills brought up the Secretary position of what needs to be done, and if this board is going to continue the position needs to be set up properly. Ken Mills, said that he wants to have this addressed and an answer before the Budget process begins, so that is can be brought before the board.
