Minutes by Rena Vecchio
The Chair opened the meeting at 7:01.
Chair Foti said he was looking for nominations for the position of Chairman. Austin Alvarez made a motion to nominate Alex Foti for Chairman of the Planning Board. Rena Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Chair Foti made a motion to nominate Austin Alvarez as Vice Chair. Tom Godfrey seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Chair asked if everyone had read the minutes of March 2, 2023. Austin Alvarez made a motion to accept the minutes of March 2, 2023 as written. Rena Vecchio seconded and the motion passed with 4 Ayes and 1 abstention (Alex Foti was not present at that meeting.)
The Chairman said he just wanted to make a mention of something that was in the minutes. He said the Board had voted on a voluntary merger and the Board did not need to do that. A voluntary merger cannot be denied by the board unless there is a conflict with an ordinance.
The first applicant was before the board for a Site Plan Review. Ted Maher, 485 Rte, 3 North, Map 205-031 was looking to remove the existing roof and to add a one story with 2 apartments. The 2 new apartments would be the exact layout as the units below. With that addition there would be 2, 2 bedroom apartments, 1, 1 bedroom apartment and 1 studio.
The Chair said that the application was not completed properly. There were many “Not Applicable” on the review of the site plan with no explanations. He said they would need a site plan done by a surveyor to be sent in to the registry that would show the new addition, a title and parking, etc. He would not need to have a full survey done.
Rena Vecchio made a motion to not accept the application as complete for a Site Plan, Map 205-031. Austin Alvarez seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The second Site Plan for Ted Maher, 394 Rte 3 N, Map 205-044, was to take a single family home and convert it into a 2 family dwelling.
Chairman Foti said this application had the same problems as the above and would need to have it redone. Again, there was no site plan given.
Austin Alvarez made a motion to not accept the application as complete for a Site Plan, Map 250-044. Rena Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Voluntary Merger for Rombalski was signed by Chairman Foti.
Kevin Smith was before the Board for consultation. He told the board that he had been before the Zoning Board of Adjustment and had gotten a Change of Use for his property. He will come before the board for a Site Plan in May or June.
Austin Alvarez recused himself from the board and sat in the chairs in front. He informed the board where the Bretton Woods trash facility was now. He said they will be before the board soon for a Site Plan. He is waiting for a signature from Omni Resort.
The Chair said he knew the Selectmen had interviewed someone for the secretarial position. He does not know the outcome of that.
The Selectman’s representative was not at the meeting tonight and therefore there was no information of the secretarial interview and the legal advice on Rehab facilities.
Austin Alvarez made a motion to adjourn. Don Jones seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting ended at 8:10 PM.
