August 24, 2004 Colebrook Planning Board Meeting
Chairman Mike Ouellet called the meeting to order shortly after 7 pm. Board members present were Kevin McKinnon, Edward Carrier, Sandra Riendeau, Selectman Frank Dumaine and alternate Joe Ippolito.
Others present were Donna Jordan, Christa Howe, Claire Knapper and Sheila Beauchemin.
Building Permits:
-- Christa & David Howe - 32' x34' L-shaped addition to the existing garage on their property on East Colebrook Road. When asked if there was running water in the garage, Christa remarked that the building use to be a barn and had a spigot that they used occasionally to wash hands. Edward Carrier made a motion to approve the permit; Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed. APPROVED - #2004-99
-- Colebrook Water Works - 6’ Chain link fence w/barbed wire to secure area around wells & pump house behind Municipal Parking Lot (U8 Lot 135). Edward Carrier made a motion to approve the permit; Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed. APPROVED - #2004-100
-- Bernard Hanscom - 16’ x 30’ roof over their camper located on his property, just off Rte 26,(R12 Lot 51). It was determined that there is not a permit on file for the camper. Discussion followed as to the fact that this application request covered a lean-to type unit to be placed over the camper, and as such, no problem could be found. However, it was felt that an application should be reviewed for the camper if it remains on the property for more than 15 days at a time. Kevin McKinnon made a motion to approve the permit, conditional on the fact that this is a separate roof for the camper to be stored under and that a permit be obtained for the camper. Edward Carrier seconded and all present agreed. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL - #2004-101
Edward Carrier removed himself from the Board.
Carrier Family Trust - 12' x 16' deck to be added to the residence on Dumont Street. Sandra Riendeau made a motion, seconded by Kevin McKinnon, to approve the permit. All present agreed. APPROVED - #2004 -102
Eddie resumed his position on the Board.
Old Business:
Due to some confusion in regards to permits approved when a state-approved privy is involved, the following procedure was discussed and approved by the Board. In the future, when a application is received that indicates a state-approved privy will be used, the applicant must be given a copy of the handout regarding state-approved privies and acknowledge in writing that it has been received. At the time of approval, the applicant will be asked to sign a statement that the privy will be built to state specifications and that they understand a final inspection will be forthcoming. The statement will also contain a declaration that if the privy does not meet approval, the building permit will be revoked.
New Business:
The Board reviewed the material regarding the NH Municipal Law Lectures to be held in various sites around the state. Kevin McKinnon and Mike Ouellet agreed to attend the "Subdivision and Site Plan Lecture" regarding enforcing conditions on September 15th at Crawford Notch.
It was brought to the Board's attention that a possible violation may exist at the James Alton residence on Fish Hatchery Road. There appears to be a dozen to fifteen vehicles parked on the property and it is questioned if a site plan is needed. Sandra Riendeau made a motion to send a letter asking Mr. Alton to come to the next Board meeting to discuss this issue. Frank Dumaine seconded and all present agreed.
It was questioned if the new signs for BankNorth at the former AD Davis Insurance Company site need a permit. A letter will be written to them....
The board was advised that the State of New Hampshire had issued a driveway permit to Paul Martel for access to a 6-unit apartment building on South Main Street.
A certificate of occupancy for the 6’ fence enclosure at Ducret’s Sporting Goods was reviewed and signed. The certificate for operation of a state approved septic was reviewed for Marie Josee Vaillant, Aldrich Road.
It was agreed that the subdivision information would be reviewed and discussed at the next meeting. MAKE COPIES FOR EDDIE, MIKE AND FRANK
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Sheila M. Beauchemin
