Marlow Planning Board -- June 12, 2007 Unapproved minutes of meeting

Present: Joe Feuer (Chairman), Bob Allen (representative from Selectmen), Lyle Handy, Sr., Bonnie Hazelton, Carla Kirsh, and Michael Puschaver

Absent: Mark Lanier

The meeting was called to order at 7:10. The minutes from May 8, 2007 were read and unanimously approved with the following corrections:

• “Jacqui Fay” was the person contacted by a realtor regarding the Hathaway Property, not Joe Feuer.

• “of the area” was added to the statement regarding the work being done at the Old Gee Mill Site.

Reports from Committees/Officials:

• Mr. Allen reported that the Marlow Selectmen had contacted Ken Kozyra (who represents US Cellular) and asked him to come to a Selectmen’s meeting to address some of the issues of the projected Cell Tower -- including but not limited to projected coverage, fall zone, and co-allocation plans. Mr. Kozyra agreed to get approval from US Cellular and contact them about possible dates to meet. The meeting would be open to the public. The Planning Board discussed the fact that US Cellular’s building permit has expired now and so they would also need to come before the Marlow ZBA again.

Other Business:

• Since the town voted in March to move ahead with a Capital Improvement Program, a Capital Improvement Committee needs to be formed to develop a list and priority of capital improvements. The committee should include at least 2 members of the Planning Board, one member of the Budget Committee, one member of the Conservation Commission and possibly the Road Agent. Mr. Allen agreed to participate in the CIP committee, and presented a sample process summary to be used as a guideline for planning. When it appeared that scheduling another meeting for the CIP committee was going to be difficult, the Board determined to combine the first meeting with our regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting in July.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Marlow Planning Board will be on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. After taking care of any Planning Board business, the members present will participate in the first meeting of the Capital Improvement Committee.
