Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman Karpf declared a quorum and asked for the minutes of December 10, 2009 be reviewed. Leslie Bergum made a motion to: accept the minutes of December 10, 2009 as written. Bill Dowling seconded and the motion passed.
Chairman Karpf stated that they would be looking at an Application for a Special Exception from Steve Messina for Map 208, Lot 2, 2058 Route 302 E, Bretton Woods. She then asked Mr. Messina if he would like to explain to the board why he was here. Steve started by saying he was not even sure he needed to be here as his property is already a mixed use. The Chair asked who sent him to the board and he responded the Planning Board. He said that the 13 unit motel was commercial use and the 2 bedroom home was residential use. The 13 unit motel would still be commercial use, the office space would be commercial use and the 2 bedroom home would be residential condo use. So basically it remained the same. Chairman Karpf said she believed if the Planning Board felt he should come before the ZBA than that is what they would do. She then asked to see a copy of the Planning Board’s minutes. Steve felt that the Planning Board said he was in Res. 2, Bretton Woods, and would need to follow those regulations. Leslie Bergum and the secretary felt that the board knew he was in Res. 2 district, but because he was not in the Concept Plan, he automatically reverted back to Res. 1, Twin Mountain, and would need to follow those regulations.
The Chair asked if the board needed to have anything clarified or had any questions as this was the time to ask. Joan then asked Steve if he had any plans to hand in and he said no as he was not changing the outside at all. When asked about the spacing of the units and parking, Steve said it was all on the small maps he had handed in with the application. After looking over the application and maps, Chairman Karpf read the three criteria:
1. This proposal will not adversely affect the capacity of existing or planned community facilities. The only change is from transient living spaces of the 13 motel units to permanent living spaces. The office and the 2 bedroom house will remain as mixed use but as condos.
2. The proposed use will not adversely affect the character of the area affected. There will not be any visual exterior changes seen from the road.
3. The proposed use will not adversely affect traffic on roads and highways in the immediate vicinity. There will be less traffic in and out of the property than the current traffic flow as a motel business.
The board then checked the map to the abutter list. Mr. Messina explained the list to the board. Chairman Karpf said she would entertain a motion. Bill Dowling made a motion to: accept the application for Map 208, Lot 2, 2058 Route 302 East, Bretton Woods. Leslie Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Joan Karpf told Mr. Messina that the Public Hearing would be held in one month, March 11, 2010. At that point all the abutters and public are welcome to come to the meeting and ask questions.
Chairman Karpf made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Bill Dowling seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 7:40.
