Mike Brunetti presented the Town with the “Good Neighbor Pass” for all residents of Twin Mountain. This pass allows the residents to go to the Hotel to look around, take a
tour or have lunch without having to pay the parking fee. Theses passes will be at the Gate House at the Hotel and at the Town Offices. You must present your drivers license for proof of residency.
Correspondence was briefly reviewed by Chairman Birknes. First was a letter from Mike Brunetti, Director of Development, informing the Planning Board that a field modification had been made to the Fabyan Station & Restaurant Deck Addition Site Plan that was approved January 3rd, 2008. This change was the relocation of the proposed handicap access to the main entrance of the restaurant. This change was more desirable and direct for people with or without disabilities. Mike Brunetti apologized for not notifying the Planning Board of the change. Fire Chief, Jeff Duncan and Building Inspector, Stan Borkowski have agreed that the change is both acceptable and preferable. Evan Karpf made a Motion to : accept the alteration to the design. Connie Oliver seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
There were no representatives from Verizon, so the Chairman moved on to the next agenda item.
Sean Doll and Erik McCormick gave a brief presentation of the proposed Zip-Line Canopy at the Bretton Woods Ski Area. The presentation was for sharing of the conceptual plans and seeking consultation from the Town.
The Zip-Line is proposed for the Rosebrook Canyon Glades section of the Bretton Woods Ski Area. The Tour will include a series of zip-lines and bridge traverses that will go from trees to ground, depending on the terrain to be crossed. The Canopy Tour will showcase the areas natural terrain and stunning views. The proposal told of the use of “falldowns” to construct the bridges. The Audubon Society and aborists have been contacted to see if there can be an active roll played by them in these tours. Attached you will find the complete presentation.
Mike Brunetti asked the board what regulations the Town of Carroll would have for them so that they could get this project going. Chairman Birknes told him that a building permit would be needed for the structures they will build and they would need to bring in a site plan for the board and the files. Chris Ellms, Bretton Woods Ski Area Manager, stated they would like to have the Canopy opened by November.
The next item on the agenda was the Public Hearing to consider an amendment to the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision for a Hammerhead turnaround on Dartmouth Ridge Road. At 7:55, John Birknes and Connie Oliver recused themselves, because they are abutters, and Evan Karpf assumed the Chairman’s seat.
Walter Elander brought forth the plans for the Hammerhead at the end of Dartmouth Ridge Road that serves the shared driveways to Lots #139 and #140. The Hammerhead is located within the 50 foot easement that is being reserved, so that if another driveway was needed, the shared driveway could then be widend as part of a road.
Fire Chief Jeff Duncan was asked if he had any questions or anything he would like to add, and he said he felt everything had been addressed. Chair Evan Karpf asked if there was an addendum for the plans and Walter Elander and Mike Bunetti pointed out that the addendum was actually the Hammerhead sheet #15 that would replace the sheet #15 in the plans.
Ernie Temple made a Motion to: accept the addendum as drawn and presented. Bonnie Moroney seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business, Charlie Cohn made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 7:55.
