Pledge of Allegiance

Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM

Chairman Birknes declared there was a quorum and opened the meeting with the review of the minutes from the meeting on May 3, 2008. Charlie Cohn made a Motion to: approve the minutes as written. Ernie Temple seconded. The motion was approved by three votes with 2 votes abstaining because neither were at the meeting.

Bonnie Moroney was welcomed to the Planning Board as the new Selectboard’s representative.

There were two items of correspondence. Chairman Birknes first briefly reviewed “Knowing the Territory” which is a survey of NH Municipal Law. Evan Karpf made a Motion to: buy a CD of “Knowing the Territory”. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Birknes read the next correspondence from Charlie Ryan, Chairman of the Ammonoosuc River Local Advisory Committee. They are looking to protect the Ammonoosuc River and have already designated two areas. The Committee was looking for a letter of support from the Planning Board, as they had received letters from the Selectboard and Conservation Committee. Ernie Temple made a Motion to: support the nomination of the upper reach of the Ammonoosuc into the NH Rivers Management and Protection Program. Evan Karpf seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

After a discussion on the Subdivision Regulations, it was decided to amend the regulation #4.22 to show the intent of “required utilities and improvements”. Ernie Temple made a Motion that: all subdivisions shall make adequate provisions for water supply, sanitary sewage disposal, electric service, telephone service, and any other required utilities and improvements. Charlie Cohn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously
.
Next the Board decided to amend the definitions by adding and defining #2.34, “utilities”. Ernie Temple moved the Motion that: utilities shall consist of water supply, sanitary sewage disposal, electric service, telephone service, and any other required utilities and improvements. Charlie Cohn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Since these Motions have passed, a Public Hearing must be set up for amending the Subdivision Regulations as stated. We will contact Town Counsel for correct wording and for setting up a date for the Public Hearing.

Evan Karpf wanted to set up a time frame for when items could be added to the agenda. After a brief discussion it was decided that a time frame should be set and added to the meeting and hearing procedures. Ernie Temple made the Motion that: items will not be accepted to be on the agenda for a meeting unless they are handed in to the secretary at least seven days prior to said meeting and permission will be granted for a shorter notice only by the chair. Charlie Cohn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The next Planning Board meeting is scheduled for July 3, 2008. Discussion took place as to whether to change the meeting date due to the holiday or to keep it. The decision was made to keep the date as it is the regularly scheduled time.

There being no further business, Ernie Temple made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Charlie Cohn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously
.
Mr. Birknes declared the meeting ended at 7:35.
