MERGER
Selectman’s Representative, Bonnie Moroney said that Town Attorney suggested that the two lots the new office buildings were going to be should be on one lot to make things easier. The reason they are using both lots is because of the topography of the land. Chairman Alex Foti asked the board and then the public if there were any questions or comments. There were none.

Cathy said that since the August meeting that they had received the only state approval they needed, the DES approval for septic. And they had just received approval from the ZBA for the 9 units and the carriage house.

• Mike Hogan asked if there were any plans to do year round rentals. James Phillips said no but they may do seasonal rentals.
• Bonnie Moroney asked about parking and Cathy showed each cabin and where the parking was. There is one space for each unit because there are only one bedroom units.

POSTING OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATIONS
Chairperson Foti said that the board had asked the secretary to check with legal to see if the RSA 676:4 regarding noticing of submission could be done either thru publication or posting. The Chair found the answer a little confusing. Mike Finn said he felt the answer was you don’t have to do the publication but you would be better off if you did. Being consistent was important.
Mike Hogan said he disagreed and thought that we should advertise when we can and when we can’t just town web site, town hall and fire station. Alex said he feels if it is allowed and we have advertised this is what we are doing, then how can this be a problem and if every notice was handled this way then it would be consistent. The secretary said that if that is what they want to do, why not put an ad in the paper for 2 or 3 weeks stating what the board was going to do now.
Alessandro Foti made a motion saying the Planning Board is moving forward to publish notices for public hearings on the Town of Carroll website, (townofcarroll.org), town hall bulletin board and at the fire station and they are discontinuing the notices in local newspapers. Mike Hogan seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
