Carroll Board of Selectmen
Meeting Minutes
November 27, 2006
"These minutes of the Town of Carroll Select Board have been recorded by its Secretary. Though believed to be accurate and correct they are subject to additions, deletions and corrections by the Select 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 RSA 91-A:2."
Minutes recorded by Susan Kraabel, Secretary.
Board members present: Bill Wright, Allen Strasser, Bonnie Moroney
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM.
Members of the public present: Billy Rines, Roberta McGee, Eleanor Brauns, Tom Gately, Evan Karpf, Ann Fabrizio, Carmine Fabrizio, John Trammell, Kelly Trammell, John Foster, Claire Gritzer, Ken Mills, Harold Garneau, Edith Tucker, John Burt, Doug Bews
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Selectman Strasser moved to approve the minutes of the meeting on 11/20/06. Selectman Moroney seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.
John Foster came before the board to request approval of his warrant article to deed over to him a portion of the town road in front of his store. He reiterated the fact that the town water line would be protected in the deed, and that according to the state, since a portion of the road had been grassed over years ago, that land already reverted to the abutters. The piece to be deeded will not affect that portion of the road that leads to the emergency lane, and the town will still be responsible for maintaining that portion. The acreage to be turned over to him is .44 acres, making his property a total of approximately 3 ¾ acres. Selectman Moroney moved to accept the article, Chairman Wright seconded, then Selectman Strasser moved to amend the motion to add that the selectmen recommended passage of this article. Selectman Moroney seconded, and the amended motion was passed unanimously.
Ken Mills came before the board to discuss the trailers that are currently sitting on the Brook Road property (Map 471 Lot 43) of Juliah Chamberlain. Temporary storage there had been granted by the selectmen over a year ago, and nothing has been done about getting them moved. A November 20, 2006 letter from Stan Borkowski to Roberta Daly, owner of the trailers, was read by Chairman Wright. It details 10 items that must be in place before a building permit could be issued for permanent placement of the trailers on this lot. Discussion took place about access to the property, which has been removed by the diversion of the river along side the lot. It was stated that Ms. Daly says the river was diverted by a neighbor, but Harold Garneau said that was not the case. He stated that six or seven years ago a storm caused flooding and the river came out of its source, and changed the course of the water. DES will not permit filling the area, because it was natural occurrence that changed the flow of the water. There used to be a road there, but the flood took out the road and culvert, and blocked access to the property. It would be possible to remove the trailers, but in addition to no access, it does not appear that any placement on the lot would meet setback requirements. Mr. Mills questioned whether the zoning ordinances would even permit permanent placement. A motion was passed to send a letter to both Ms. Chamberlain and Ms. Daly stating that they believe the property is not a buildable lot with access, and that they should check with an attorney before trying to comply with the terms of Mr. Borkowski’s letter. The letter should state that if the selectmen do not hear back from them in 60 days that this is buildable property, the trailers must be removed, and the town will take legal steps to see that this is done.
It was noted that Mr. Borkowski’s weekly activity report has been posted.
Selectman Strasser read a list of information that Mr. Borkowski would like included with each building permit that is submitted. Too many applications are coming back incomplete, and he would like to see this list attached to each permit application that is given out. Selectman Strasser moved to include this list with each application, Chairman Wright seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously.
The following warrant articles were approved by the selectmen:
To see if the Town of Carroll will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $1,100.00 (One Thousand One Hundred Dollars) payable to Littleton Regional Hospital, to help offset the cost of charity care and community benefit programs that Littleton Hospital provides, such as the paramedic intercept program, “Care-A-Van” patient transport services, and community health education programs.
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $1,797.00 (One Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety Seven Dollars) payable to North Country Home Health & Hospice Agency, Inc for the support of the home health care, supportive care, medical hospice and community health programs and services of North Country Home Health & Hospice Agency, Inc. and Hospice of the Littleton Area in the fiscal year 2007 for the residents of Carroll
The following documents were approved and signed:
Water Warrant - D’Urso, Picconi, McCaig
Water Abatement - Picconi

Current Use Tax Warrant - Messina
Property Tax Abatement - Haskell
Certificate of Occupancy - 48 Brian View
Doug Bews brought a Union Leader newspaper article about the AMC plans to team up with area ski resorts and offer ski-and-stay package specials this winter. There have also been ads for Thanksgiving dinner and weddings. Selectman Strasser said the AMC must come in between April 1 and April 15 to justify tax exempt status. He stated RSA’s state for educational groups such as the AMC, housing portions of property have a maximum exemption of $150,000, but the education portion must be determined by the town.
Mr. Bews asked about Mark Nieder’s response to view tax questions, and was told that the assessments would be based on market value using sales data from 2 years. Revision 600 rules require comparable sales to justify assessments. Selectman Strasser said that it rarely happens, but the selectmen can change property assessments if they have the proper comps. The selectmen are the assessors.
At 7:55 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Wright declared the meeting ended.
