Marlow Planning Board -- October 11, 2006 / Unapproved minutes of meeting

Present: Ray Despres, Joe Feuer, Greg Farquhar (representative from Selectmen), Lyle Handy, Sr., Bonnie Hazelton, and Michael Puschaver

Absent: Carla Kirsh

The Planning Board met on Wednesday, the 11th, due to a change of date for the Selectmen this week.  The meeting was called to order at 7:08.  The minutes from September 12, 2006 were read and unanimously approved as typed. 

Communications Directed to the Board:

• Mr. Despres read the budget notice he’d received from the Marlow Selectmen.

•  The board discussed the latest plans from Hal Wilkins, of Ramsey, McLaren Planning and Engineering, in regard to the Cohen property on Route 10.  His permits have been extended to 2010.

Reports from Committees/Officials:

• Selectman Farquhar informed the Planning Board that the Selectmen have just begun to discuss capital improvements in relation to the Master Plan, and next year’s budget.  Planning Board members suggested that Selectmen meet with each of the departments involved in providing services to the town -- Fire Department, Ambulance Squad, Highway Department, etc.

Unfinished Business:

• The Planning Board  and Jason Little discussed the proposed protective ordinances to limit large-scale development in Marlow.  We spent much of the rest of the meeting in reviewing and clarifying the needs and possible impact of the new ordinances.  When it appeared that a special work session was necessary to fine tune the ordinances, Mr. Feuer, Mr. Puschaver, and Miss Hazelton agreed to meet as a committee on 10/17/06, and then share their results with the rest of the board, via mail or e-mail before the next regular meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Marlow Planning Board will be on Tuesday, November 14, 2006, at 7:00 p.m.
