Marlow Planning Board -- April 12, 2005 / Unapproved minutes of meeting

Present: Ray Despres, Carla Kirsh, Joseph Feuer, and Bonnie Hazelton

Absent: Trish Rogan

The meeting was called to order at 7:10. The minutes from February 8, 2005 were read and unanimously approved as corrected -- changing the length of time for Hazardous Waste Collection dates from “12 dates throughout the next year“ to “12 dates throughout the next 3 months.”

Since Mr. Feuer is now the ex-officio member from the Board of Selectmen, it was determined that he should no longer hold the title of acting chairman. A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously that Ray Despres would serve as Chairman of the Marlow Planning Board. Discussion followed as to the need to recruit additional members to the Board.

Old Business

Mr. Despres reported that he had spoken to Mr. Dimlich regarding the concerns of neighbors brought before the Planning Board at the last regular meeting. Mr. Dimlich intends to take care of the logs presently next to the property line. He had also spoken to Mr. Feuer about his intentions.

Mr. Feuer reported that the Marlow Selectmen have moved forward with plans for the Cell Tower to be constructed on Marlow Hill. Representatives from Cellular One will be required to come before the Planning Board, and eventually the ZBA, since their plans call for a non-conforming use to the property.

New Business

The Board discussed the closure of Class 6 Roads during mud season, including the expectation of the town that property owners keep those roads maintained to a standard of use.

The Board discussed plans to update and reprint the Zoning Ordinance book in the next few weeks. Ms. Kirsh agreed to look into having the present book scanned. The board will then go through and make all necessary changes based on articles voted on in all town meetings since 1986. Mr. Feuer reported that he had expected Ezekiel Jakob to be present at tonight’s meeting, to present the new map he’s developed for the book. Both Mr. Feuer and Mr. Despres agreed to talk to Mr. Jakob about meeting with the Planning Board, possibly before next month’s meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

The next regular meeting of the Marlow Planning Board will be on Tuesday, May 10, 2005, at 7:00 p.m.
