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 June 5, 2008. Charlie Cohn made a Motion to: accept the minutes as written. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Correspondence was briefly reviewed by Chairman Birknes. The 67th Annual Conference of the LGC will be held on November 12th-14th at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. There will be a lot offered at this conference, particularly on land use.
An Application for Voluntary Merger from Kenneth D. Mills and Mary S. Pothier for Map 417, Lots 020 and 021. The request for the land to be combined into one parcel is for tax assessment and land use purposes. Evan Karpf made a Motion to: accept and approve the application for the merger. Connie Oliver seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

The Dartmouth Brook Subdivision Final Approval was next and as they are abutters, John Birknes and Connie Oliver left the table and joined the public. Evan Karpf took over as Chairman and at 7:10 p.m. declared there was a quorum and commenced the continuation of the Final Approval.

Next, Dana Bisbee, attorney for the Bretton Woods Land Co., LLC, stated that they would be showing the conditions and changes the board had asked for and said that tonight their goal was to have the mylars signed. He said everything would be pretty straight forward

At the March meeting the board had asked for 4 conditions to be met before the mylars would be signed. These conditions were known as Conditions Precedent. Certain changes were made to the Community Charter which would conform to the conditions required by the Planning Board. Charlie Cohn made a Motion to: accept the amendments to the conditions as stated. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

The final wording for the subdivision decision is on file and is posted on the bulletin board at the Town Offices.

Bonnie Moroney made a Motion to: accept the plans that were provided to the board on the Lighting and Landscaping of Phase I. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Charlie Cohn made a Motion to: accept that permitting by the DES, All Terrain, and DOT had been met, subject to the hard copy of the DOT Permit being presented to the board. Bonnie Moroney seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The secretary was instructed by the board to call on Monday and verify the permit.

The last condition stated that the “Applicant shall present a clear specification of what work is expected to be completed……including roads, drainage….” etc. Jeff Duncan brought up concerns over the Dartmouth Ridge Road that leads to sites known as DB #139 and DB #140. It was Chief Duncans understanding that the road would end right around the hammer head. Mike Brunetti and Walter Elander felt that through the easement there would be a shared driveway to those 2 sites and eventually be paved. The Chief strongly felt that there should be a hammer head or turn around above the new driveway for safety reasons and John Birknes agreed. Jeff said that this may be an issue that would involve the Dartmouth Ridge I and II plans. At this point Chief Duncans pager went off and he had to leave the meeting.

Dana Bisbee stated that he had plans that showed the hammer head not changed since the March acceptance. But once the road was confirmed , if Chief Duncan wanted a hammer
head they would put one in. Ernie Temple made a Motion: that driveways will not exceed a 10% grade. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Andy Nadeau next showed briefly the proposed outline of Phase II known as the The Hamlet and Phase III known as The Meadows. The outline showed topography, soil, wetlands, abutters, the overall subdivision layout, overall plan and key, easements, vegetative buffers and general notes on subdivisions. There were no questions or comments on this presentation.

Charlie Cohn made a Motion that: all conditions of the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision had been met and that they be approved, and that the board would authorize the Chair to sign the mylars upon presentation of the bond to the Town attorney and the Dot permit verified. Bonnie Moroney seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Birknes and Connie Oliver returned to the table as Dartmouth Brook Subdivision had been completed. Evan Karpf stepped down as Chair.

Greg Robinson from the KOA Campground approached the board for an approval to put in cabins on his abutting property, Map 202, Lot 23. When he talked to the front office he used the word “cabins” and was therefore sent to the Planning Board. His presentation Thursday night was on extending the “campground” and would have to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a Special Exception. The secretary told him the board would meet the following Thursday, July 10th and that she would make sure he was on the agenda.

At this point Dana Bisbee asked the board to accept an Application for a Voluntary Merger for Map 210 Lots 5 and 5.4, and Map 208 Lot 6.011.Bonnie Moroney made a
Motion to: accept the Application for a Voluntary Merger of Map 210, Lots 5 and 5.4, and Map 208, Lot 6.011. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, Ernie made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Charlie Cohn seconded. The meeting ended at 9:20.
