Next on the agenda was the approval of the minutes of August 5, 2010. The minutes were tabled to check with one of the members about possible errors.
Bayroot, c/o Wagner Forest Mgmt LTD, Lyme, NH, is before the board to see if they would accept the application for a Lot Line Adjustment, Map 407, Lot 029, Route 3 North. If the board chooses to do so, they could move forward with the Public Hearing on the approval of the Lot Line. The main purpose of the request is to sell 50 acres to an abutter, Bryan Smith, Map 407, Lot 053. This land is zoned rural.
Vice-Chair Karpf asked if the application is complete and signed. Fees were paid, notices were sent to the papers and the abutters. There is a letter form Daniel Hudnut allowing Bryan Smith to be their agent before the PLBD.
Donna Foster made a motion to: accept the application for a Lot Line Adjustment as presented. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Bonnie Moroney made the motion to: move into public session to address this application. Donna Foster seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Bryan Smith stepped forth to discuss the application. He told the board that the survey was not completed yet but he had attached to the application some GPS maps. The Vice-Chair said if the board feels they have enough information they can approve the application pending the surveys/maps. If they do not feel they have enough information they will hold over the approval till the next month’s meeting. Mr. Smith said the main purpose of this transaction is to add 50 acres to his 28 acres. Bayroot has agreed to sell him the land and there is a purchase and sale agreement ready, pending the approval tonight.
There were no abutters present and no questions from the public. The Vice-Chair said he would entertain a motion. Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: approve the Lot Line Adjustment for Bayroot, c/o Wagner Forest Mgmt, subject to the proper survey by a licensed surveyor, as per the Town Planning Board Regulations. There will be five (5) copies of the survey and one (1) mylar. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Next is a Lot Line Adjustment for Robert and June Burns, represented by Colin and Tim Sutherland, 383 Tuttlebrook Road, Map 418, Lots 27, 29, 30, 38 and 38.01. Donna Foster declared she was an abutter and she had to recuse herself and sit in the public area. The Vice-Chair asked if the application was complete, notices out and abutters notified. The secretary confirmed that they were. This area is zoned R-B.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: accept the application as presented. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: move into Public Hearing for a Lot Line Adjustment for Robert and June Burns. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Robert Burns introduced Tim Sutherland to representing him during this lot line adjustment. Mr. Sutherland started by showing the board and public where Tuttlebrook Road was on the map. He said that Mr. Burns owns five (5) contiguous lots on Tuttlebrook and that the lines of those lots would be adjusted. None of the lots, except Map 418, Lot 29 (or Lot 12 in the subdivision), have any buildings on them. The lots are listed below:
1. Map 418, Lot 30 (Lot 1 in the Subdivision)
• Was 6.20 acres
• Now 5.06 acres
2. Map 418, Lot 38 (Lot 2 in the Subdivision)
• Was 4.85 acres
• Now 5.25 acres
3. Map 418, Lot 27 (Lot 10 in the Subdivision)
• Was 3.69 acres
• Now 3.02 acres
4. Map 418, Lot 29 (Lot 12 in the Subdivision)
• Was 3.03 acres
• Now 5.19 acres
5. Map 418, Lot 38.01 (No Subdivision number as it was a right of way to the 2nd phase of the original subdivision that never got off the ground.)
• Was 1.42 acres
• Now .67 acres
Immediately the board recognized Lot 38.01 was now under one (1) acre, which would make it a non-conforming lot. Vice-Chair Karpf said if the deed reflected that lot as a right of way, then the lot would not have to be an acre. But the deed did not reflect it as a ROW. The other issue is that one of the lots would be landlocked, Lot 1 in the subdivision, if Lot 38.01 was not deeded as a right of way. Bonnie Moroney asked if there was a separate deed for Lot 38.01 and if so just add an amendment to that deed that says this acreage is a right of way. Several options were discussed as ways to do this. Evan Karpf said he would suggest to the board that if they wanted to approve the application, there would be conditions attached at this point.
Evan Karpf asked if any abutters were present and if they had any questions. Donna Foster was the only abutter and she had no questions. He then asked if any of the public had any questions. Edith Tucker asked for clarification on the map and was shown by Tim Sutherland and Evan Karpf.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: continue the deliberation for a Lot Line Adjustment until November 4, 2010. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Next was William R. and Craig C. Swanson, 140 Old Cherry Mountain Road South, Map 419, Lot 14, Twin Mountain, NH 03595 applying for a Major Subdivision. They are looking to subdivide the 3.60 acre lot into 3 lots. This is zoned Residential 2. Steven Boulanger, of Boulanger Consulting, is representing the Swanson’s.
Evan Karpf said the application looked complete and the fees were paid. He explained that the board would need five (5) copies of the survey and a mylar. He would also like to see the perk tests and where they were taken, where a house could be built and that setbacks are met.
Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: accept the application for the Swanson Subdivision as presented. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Bretton Woods Land Co., LLC, is applying for a Minor Subdivison, Map 211, Lot 20 and 20.2. They are subdividing the “Lake Carolyn” parcel for the purpose of creating a separate parcel which will include the snowmaking ponds and creating a lease parcel for overflow parking.
The Vice-Chair determined the application was complete. Bonnie Moroney made a motion to: accept the application for a Minor Subdivision as presented. Donna Foster seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
A consultation for a wood processing/yard for Jean Bunton and Phil Wyman, 115 Little Road, Twin Mountain, NH was next. They are looking to buy two (2) lots on Little River Road, Lots 51 and 51.1.This is zoned R-B. Evan Karpf told them to talk to the Code Enforcer/Building Inspector, Stan Borkowski, and get his opinion on which direction they should go in. The secretary told the board that they had talked to Stan and he felt they would go for a Site Plan Review. At this point Evan said if it is going forth as a Site Plan then he would have to recuse himself as he would be an abutter. Evan removed himself from the table and sat in the public area. Donna Foster was asked to now chair the meeting. Explanations were given to Jean and Phil as to why they would be looking for the Site Plan Review. The abutters list was explained also. Donna Foster told them that the board would see them on November 4th.
Eric Bergum stood up and introduced himself and said he was giving his name to the board as an alternate for the Planning Board. Frank Maturo made a motion to: accept Eric Bergum as an alternate for the Planning Board and to have his name given to the Select Board. Donna Foster seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Edith Tucker said the U.S. Forest Service has opened the Crawford Project to the public for input and questions. The Actions Proposed is open for thirty (30) days to the public.
Donna Foster made a motion to: send a fruit basket to John Birknes and Charlie Cohn from the Planning Board, with “Well wishes for a speedy recovery.” Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The board stated that both men have given a lot to the Planning Board.
Bonnie Moroney stated that she will have a warrant article asking that the PLBD and ZBA be elected positions. She said that these are now the only two (2) boards that are not elected.
Evan Karpf made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Bonnie Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 8:45.
