Marlow
Planning Board -- April 11, 2006
Unapproved
minutes of meeting
Present: Carla Kirsh,
Michael Puschaver, Bonnie Hazelton, and Ray Despres
The meeting was called to
order at 7:05. The minutes from February 14, 2006 were read and unanimously
approved as typed.
New members were introduced
and sworn in: Joe Feuer (completing Trish Rogan’s term), Lyle Handy, Sr., and
Tony Previte (representing the Selectmen)
The chairman introduced a
new order of business, as suggested in the handbook he’d recently received
from Concord.
Communications Directed
to the Board:
-
A letter from Concord, requesting a
copy of the adopted amendment regarding floodplain management regulations added
to our zoning ordinances, was read. Selectman Previte agreed to send the
requested amendment to FEMA.
-
A notice from the town of
Washington requesting information on the position of Code Enforcement Officer
was read. Selectman Previte agreed to complete the form and send it back.
Reports from
Committees/Officials:
-
Ms. Kirsh and Mr. Puschaver had
done some research on wind farms and reported that the state doesn’t
automatically get involved in a project of this size. However, they both felt it
would be a wise move for the town to send a letter requesting state assistance
in a review of the pros and cons of a wind farm. The board felt that it would be
a good idea for the selectmen to request
that assistance.
-
Selectman Allen was present and
asked about the changes he’d noticed in the new Zoning Ordinance book. The
board explained that any changes were a result of either correcting an error
from the old book or they reflected the changes voted on at town meetings over
the last several years.
Unfinished Business:
Harry and Bev Power and
David and Marilyn Parker were back to discuss their plans for a boundary
adjustment to their properties on the Marlow-Stoddard town line, off Rte 123.
The boundary adjustment will increase the Power property by adding 15 acres of
land (with no road frontage) decreasing the property owned by David and Marilyn
Parker. They presented the maps and Mylar to the board. The board approved the
boundary adjustment and signed the Mylar.
Other Business:
Wendell Parham-Brown was
present to discuss his desire to open and operate a concession stand on the
property directly across the road from the Stone Pond Cottages. He has gotten
the “go-ahead” from the owner of the property (Harry Reynolds) and has hopes
of utilizing a 28-foot (moveable) trailer, with a sign on the side, as the
stand. The board discussed the project, and determined that it would meet the
zoning regulations for that area. However, board members suggested that Mr.
Parham-Brown would need to talk with the State Highway Dept. about setbacks, and
encouraged him to also talk with abutting property owners about his plans.
Mr. Feuer identified the
specific 2 state laws that address (1) refusal to grant a building permit to
someone wishing to build on a Class VI road, with no frontage on any other road,
and (2) the Voluntary Merger Law for someone wishing to join 2 properties into
one lot.
The board also discussed the
seeming discrepancies in the Zoning Book that address the length of term for the
position of Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. The next
regular meeting of the Marlow Planning Board will be on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, at
7:00 p.m. Members were also reminded of the meeting to be held at the school on
May 2, 2006 in order to review the results of the Land Use Surveys sent out to
residents.
