Present: Joseph Feuer, Art Schmid, Ray Despres, Jane MacLachlan, Bonnie Hazelton.

Absent: Carl McConnell

The meeting was called to order at 7:38 p.m.

The minutes from December 9, 2003 were read and unanimously approved as typed .

Mr. Feuer stated that he lead determined that 90 homes on and near Marlow Hill would be affected by direct mail delivery. He notified Congressman Bass of that number, in hopes that the Postal Service would consider mail delivery worthwhile, in their continuing consideration of the a proposal.

A motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved that the Marlow Planning Board is opposed to the town of Marlow being a member of the Southwest Regional Planning Commission. The Board reviewed the petition requesting that an article be added to the Town Warrant, in regard to the present membership status.

Hal Wilkins, of Ramsey/McLaren Planning and Engineering, was present to discuss a letter that the Marlow Selectmen had received from Mary Pinkham-Langer (Gravel tax Appraiser, from the Department of Revenue Administration), after she inspected the Arthur Cohen gravel pit off of Rte. 10 in Marlow. Mr. Wilkins specifically addressed the 4 concerns listed in Ms. Pinkham-Langer's letter. According to Mr. Wilkins:

1. There has been an assessment of the excavation area.
2. Mr. Cohen is in agreement that more land has to be removed from Current Use status.
3. Mr. Cohen is of the belief that the excavation is indeed up to date on the bonding. However, he will check with Kapiloff as to when and if that bonding certificate was sent in.
4. There is a Site Specific Permit from DES, completed in 1995.

Mr. Wilkins intends to respond to each of the concerns in a letter to Ms. Pinkham-Langer, with copies sent to the Marlow Planning Board and the Marlow Selectmen.

Travis Royce, an employee of Landmark Land Services, LLC, came before the board to discuss a proposed subdivision of the property owned by Sarah and Benjamin Henderson (Map 405, Lot 3) on Route 10. The Hendersons now plan to subdivide their property into 3 lots. All 3 lots meet the minimum requirements for acreage and road frontage in the R-10 zone. However, the Marlow Planning Board would not move ahead on scheduling a public hearing, due to the lack of information about the number of "junk cars" on the property, a s well as the status of a "garage" on the present property (as to whether or not there is a business on the property). Mr. Royce was advised to have the Hendersons contact Mr. Feuer and arrange for an inspection of the property.

A motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved that the Marlow Planning Board permanently change the monthly meeting time to 7:00 p.m., rather than 7:30 p.m. Mr. Feuer agreed to let the necessary people know about the change so that the new starting tin time appears on the town annual report and any other printed list of meeting times.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m.

The next regular meeting of the Marlow Planning Board will be on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 7:00 p.m.
