DRAFT
“These minutes of the Town of Carroll Planning Board have been recorded by its Secretary. Though believed to be accurate and correct they are subject to additions, deletions and
corrections by the Planning Board at its next meeting when the Board votes its final approval of the minutes. They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSAS 91-A: 2.”
Members of the Board present: Vice-Chair Evan Karpf, Donna Foster, Bill Dowling, Erik Bergum, Frank Maturo
Members of the Public present: Dave Scalley
Minutes taken by Rena Vecchio, Secretary
Pledge of Allegiance
Vice-Chair Evan Karpf declared a quorum and called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. Evan asked if all of the board had the opportunity to read the minutes and if they were ready to approve them or not. Bill Dowling and Erik Bergum made a motion to: accept the minutes of October 6, 2011 as written. Frank Maturo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
At the last meeting, October 6th, Evan said he made a motion regarding the apartment and issue with the Hunt Property at Map 207, Lot 36 and the Special Exception. He said Stan Borkowski, Building Inspector, has the opinion that the definition in our ordinances of an Apartment Complex is “three (3) or more apartments.” Evan said he can agree with Stan that whether there are one or two apartments it does not matter nor does it constitute a Change of Use. Evan said he cannot rescind the motion from the last meeting but he will make a new motion. Vice-Chair Evan Karpf made a motion: that in regards to the Hunt Property, LLC/Shakespeare’s, Map 207, Lot 36, they will not be obligated to come before the Planning Board in one year regarding the question of a Special Exception nor go before the ZBA in request of a Special Exception as regards the 2 apartments at that location. Bill Dowling seconded and the motion passed unanimously. (The email from Stan Borkowski explaining his decision on this will be attached to the hard copy in the office.)
The Planning Board, in accordance with N.H. RSA 675:7, held the Public Hearing on the question of whether to recommend the following Zoning, Site Plan and Subdivision amendments for adoption:
