Planning Board Minutes
Chairman Mike Ouellet called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Board members present were Kevin McKinnon, Sandra Riendeau, Edward Carrier, and Selectman Frank Dumaine.
Others present were Marie Josee Vaillant, Steve Baillargeon, Mark Dryjes, Fred Deveau, William Kenney, and Robert Hodge.
Building Permit:
Marie Josee Vaillant - 32’ x 64’ home on her property on Angels Road (R6 Lot 2). Edward Carrier made a motion to approve the permit, conditional on receiving approval for construction of the septic system from DES. Frank Dumaine seconded and all present agreed. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL - #2005-1
Sign Permit:
Northwoods Truckstop – 44” x 6’ sign, stating “Coca Cola”, to be placed on the Northwoods Truckstop building located on North Main Street. The drawing on the sign application indicated a two-inch divider between this sign and a 44” x 9’ sign, stating “Northwoods Truckstop”. The original sign was found to be in violation due to size. Kevin McKinnon made a motion to table a decision until the Board members have had a chance to inspect the modification indicated on the application. Frank Dumaine seconded this motion and all present agreed. TABLED
Voluntary Mergers:
It is understood by all applicants that no such merged parcel shall be separately transferred without subdivision approval.
Bradford Brooks – Merge Lots 15, 17 & 18 on Tax Map U3, located on north Main Street. As this merger does not create a violation of current ordinances or regulations, Edward Carrier made a motion to accept; Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
Marie-Josee Vaillant – Merge the “Guilfoil Back Lot” with the newly created R6 Lot 2 (Subdivision #620). This was the intention when the subdivision was completed and the “Voluntary Merger” form is a paper legality. Sandra Riendeau made a motion to approve the voluntary merger; Edward Carrier seconded and all present agreed.
Solange Swallow – Merge Lots 1 on Tax Map R8 with Lot 111 on Tax Map R9, located on Skyline Drive. Current ordinances would not be violated by this merger, therefore, Eddie Carrier made a motion to approve the merger. Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
Jean Paul Corriveau – Merge lots 14 and 15 on Tax Map U12, located at 13 Colby Street. Current ordinances would not be violated by this merger, therefore, Eddie Carrier made a motion to approve the merger. Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
Conceptual Subdivision Design:
Mark Dryjas / Steve Baillargeon – Mr. Baillargeon consulted the Board regarding a proposed subdivision to be located off Bear Rock Road. Subdivision road requirements were discussed. Mr. Baillargeon indicated that ski-doo trails would be laid out and permanent.
Bills:
Kevin McKinnon made a motion to pay an invoice for $16.50 from the News & Sentinel; Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
New Business:
Fred Deveau, William Kenney and Robert Hodge approached the Board regarding a right-of-way. Mr. Deveau and Mr. Kenney’s have reached an agreement for a right-of-way across Mr. Kenney’s property. Former landowner, Robert Hodge, questioned the necessity of the right-of-way, disputing the location of the property line. The parties concerned were advised this is a civil issue.
A question regarding whether a subdivision is necessary when property is split by the road and the two parcels are taxed separately was reviewed. The Board determined that a subdivision is necessary. A ruling in 1990 caused any parcel divided by a road to be considered as two separate parcels for taxation purposes only. The land is not considered subdivided. Before a parcel “across the road” could be sold, a subdivision would need to be completed.
A letter from the State of New Hampshire was reviewed and signed regarding a permit for an auto inspection station for Marc Bigney of Brooks Chevrolet, Inc.
A certificate of occupancy for Joeng & Mike Divney’s enclosed porch was reviewed and signed.
Edward Carrier made a motion to accept the February minutes as written; Sandra Riendeau seconded and all present agreed.
Motion to adjourn at 8:38 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin McKinnon
