Colebrook Planning Board Report
As with everything else, the economy appears to be affecting the Colebrook Planning Board’s work level. Fewer building permits were issued this year, however, the subdivisions and boundary-line adjustments stayed about the same. Board members spent many hours reviewing the site plans for the new Rite Aid in town. This is the biggest project seen in many years and was quite a learning experience.
It should be noted that the Colebrook Tax Maps have been revised using a GPS system, which means boundary lines for property will be exact, and building placement and size will be shown. It is the town father’s hope to continue adding all new construction so the maps will be as up-to-date as possible. The individual cost to conduct the GPS for each new construction is $11.50. This will be passed on to the owner at the time a building permit is applied for.
This coming year the Board will beginning work once more on the Master Plan and a Capital Improvement Plan. Our meeting date remains the first Tuesday of the month, beginning at 7 p.m., in the Colebrook District Courtroom. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.
