Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM
.
Chairman Evan Karpf declared there was a quorum and asked the board to review the minutes of April 2, 2009. It was asked by Chairman Karpf to table the minutes so the board could review the minutes later. Ernie Temple made the motion to: table the minutes of April 2, 2009 for further review. Connie Oliver seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Tonight the Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing to receive an application from and to consider requests by the Mount Washington Resort--BW Club, LLC and CNL Income Bretton Woods, LLC—for lot line adjustments and a subdivision. The first item at hand will be the subdivision. The purpose of the subdivision request is to create a distinct lot for the Alpine Club located at the ski area.

Chairman Karpf opened the discussion by asking the secretary if the ad in the paper had been done and if the abutters had been notified. The secretary confirmed that both had been done. The application appeared to be in order and Evan Karpf said he would entertain a motion to accept the application. Ernie Temple made a motion to: accept the application. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

A few items were discussed briefly:
• the footprint had changed slightly, in that the lot was smaller then previously thought
• the subdivision would be on CNL property and leased to BW Club
• Mike Brunetti stated that the companies were basically “cleaning up” transactions that had been done with the purchases of the properties
• the sprung building next to the ski area was good until the end of the 2010 ski season
• parking was not an issue
• common space was not and issue
• there will be no impact or changes on walkways

Chairman Karpf opened the hearing to the Public. Donna Foster made a motion to: go into Public Hearing. Ernie Temple seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Edith Tucker asked about the different ownerships of the property and said it was rather confusing to her. Everyone agreed!

With no further discussion from the board or public, Chairman Karpf said he would entertain a motion to approve. Ernie Temple made a motion to: approve the sub-division as proposed. Connie Oliver seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Next up for review was the application for a lot line adjustment. The lot line adjustment will eliminate an encroachment of the re-designed Mount Washington (Donald Ross) Golf Course onto hotel property, and eliminate an encroachment of hotel tennis course onto the golf course property.

Again Chairman Karpf asked if the ad had been put in the papers and if the abutters had been notified. The secretary confirmed both. Upon looking over the application and seeing that everything was in order, he said he would entertain a motion to accept the application. Ernie Temple made a motion to: accept the application. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

At this point, Donna Foster made a motion to: go into Public Hearing. Ernie Temple seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Eric McCormick showed the board where the lot line adjustment was and explained that it was basically a swap of land between the two companies. CNL is swapping 2.73 acres of land for 2.76 acres from the BW Club.

There were no questions from the board or the public.

Ernie Temple made a motion to: approve the Lot Line Adjustment as proposed. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Fire Chief Jeff Duncan had given a letter to the Planning Board that he had wanted read at the meeting. He said unfortunately he would not be available that evening as he was teaching a class. Ernie Temple read the letter to the board and the public. The letter was in regards to an article written by Edith Tucker , Democrat, April 29th, on the Karpfs/Birchwood Commons project, about the requirement for a sprinkler system for their new adventure. This is a state requirement. The Karpfs feel this requirement may halt their project. Please find a copy of the letter attached.

At 7:40, Chairman Karpf asked if there was any other business before the board. There being none, Ernie Temple made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
