Minutes taken by Rena Vecchio, Secretary:
Meeting called to order at 10:00 AM
Ernie Temple introduced himself to the Public and as the Chairman for this meeting. He explained that this was a meeting for a snowmobile operation at the Bretton Woods Station. He then asked Mark Catalano if he would like to bring the board up on what had been going on.
Mark Catalano introduced himself as the long-term leasee of the Irving Station in Bretton Woods. He explained that Kelly Chase, owner of Outback Kayaks in Lincoln, NH, was interested in the rental/sale of new/used snowmobiles in Bretton Woods. She had been at the Silver Fox previous years. This year the Silver Fox was not available to use. Mark and Kelly agreed to try the snowmobiling for a year and see how it went. They moved a trailer onto the property thinking they would use it for the winter season. They ended up not being able to use it because they needed to go to the ZBA and PLBD to run the operation out of the Bretton Woods Station. Now, they basically have two weeks left of vacation weeks for the winter.
Mark and Kelly had been to the ZBA to hand in an application for a Special Exception and for a Public Hearing to have the Special Exception approved. Now they were coming before the Planning Board for a Site Plan Review for 2 businesses on one property. They
had been asked:
1. To go to DOT/Leon Giles and do paperwork for additional use on the property. Mr. Giles felt there was no issue and no delays would be needed for the process. He can be reached at his office if anyone has any questions, 788-4641.
2. There is no gas stored on the property for the snowmobiles. The only gas stored is what is in the tanks for the BW Station business.
3. Mark felt that parking was not an issue as he has right now 22 parking spots. With the understanding that there needs to be 1 parking space for every 250 square feet of business property. Mr. Catalano felt what he had is ample.
4. There will be 20 or less sleds offered for rentals/sales. At the most 2 will be out in front of the store property advertising the business with a sandwich board.
5. There is no need for additional lighting.
6. There will be signage for customers to exit of the property and unto Corridor 11 trail. There should be no going over the Fabyans property or on top of the leech field. There is also no need to cross the street here.
7. The hours of the rental business will be 8 to 6. They will be there from 7 to 6 most days to be ready to run the tours by 8 am. They do not plan on having night tours, but they do not want to limit themselves to a definite “no night” tours in case of a special need or event. The Station hours are 5:45 to 10:00.
8. Insurance is covered by Kelly’s company. Irving has a letter to the ZBA acknowledging the business on their property.
Ernie asked if there were any questions. Connie Oliver had a lot of question on the parking and or lack of she felt. She wanted to know about delivery trucks and gas delivery. Mark stated that almost all the gas is delivered late at night and all the delivery trucks had plenty of room as they pull into the back.
The trailer “look” is a definite issue. Mark has spoken to Pat Corso, Manager of the Mount Washington Resort and he understands that the trailer is there now but will want it removed with a more appropriate building or temporary building in its place. They are fine with this years use with the last day of rentals/sales or the trailer being April 12, 2009.
Chairman Temple said he would entertain a one year proposal, a temporary approval just for this season. Next year he would like to see a different design for the building, with a complete description of things to be changed. He felt it would give the board a chance to review things.
Connie Oliver made a Motion to: approve the proposition as a temporary use until April 12, 2009. Bonnie Moroney seconded, and the Motion passed 4 to 1, with Connie Oliver voting no.
At 10:30 am, Bonnie Moroney made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Connie Oliver seconded, and the Motion passed unanimously.
