Subdivision Public Hearing:
Herman & Brenda Paquette – Chairman Carrier read the application for the proposed two-lot subdivision of land owned by Herman & Brenda Paquette, bordered by Bear Rock Road and Willey Road, identified on the Colebrook Tax Maps as R3 Lot 19. The application proposes to create one lot, equalling 11.5 acres with the remaining acres staying in the residual lot. A waiver to not indicate contours on the plan was requested due to the expense and delays involved in obtaining the information. It was indicated that general twenty-foot contours showing the lay of the land is provided on the location map in the upper right hand corner of the plan. Surveyor Dana Masson indicated that a test pit had been added to the plan.
Frank Dumaine made a motion to accept the application and approve the plan as presented, allowing the waiver. Kevin McKinnon seconded the motion and all present agreed. #651
Boundary Line Adjustment Public Hearing:
Edward Nash & Sons, Inc. / Scott & Helen Nash – Surveyor Dana Masson presented the boundary line adjustment map for lots on Route 26, owned by Edward Nash & Sons Inc and Scott and Helen Nash, identified on the town tax map as R10 Lots 20, 36, 108 and 109. He indicated that the gravel drive extending through Lots 108 and 109 would no longer be used for Lots 20 and 36, but would service lots 108 and 109 only. Test pits were indicated on lots 20 and 36 as requested by the Board. It was noted that the boundary-line adjustment leaves Lots 20 and 36 with less than five acres each.
Edward Carrier stated that, even though it is understood that any lot under five acres must apply for a state approval for subdivision and septic approval prior to obtaining a building permit, he would prefer to see a statement to this effect on the plan. Sandra Riendeau made a motion to approve the plan, conditional on a notation regarding state approval for subdivision and septic design being added to the plan. Kevin McKinnon seconded and all present agreed. Mr. Masson will add that statement and then the plan will be signed by Chairman Carrier. #650
Site Plan Modification Public Hearing:
Eddie Nash & Sons, Inc./ Edward Nash Estate/ Scott and Helen Nash -- Surveyor Dana Masson reviewed the modifications, incurred by the boundary-line adjustment mentioned prior, to Site Plan #589 approved on December 10, 2002.

The fifty (50) foot wide right-of-way running from the southerly edge of Route 26 through R10 Lot 108 will be for access to R10 Lot 108 and R10 Lot 109 only.
All business for Eddie Nash & Sons Inc. as shown on Site Plan #589 will be conducted on R10 Lot 20 and R10 Lot 36 as shown after the Boundary Line Adjustment Plan #650, approved November 6, 2007, only
The area shown as Pre-existing Scrap and Salvage Yard on Site Plan 589 will also be used for truck and trailer storage.
All notes on the original Site Plan #589, including hours of operation, parking, fencing, tree planting, lighting, and noise, will remain in effect.
Sandra Riendeau made a motion to approve the modifications as stated; Kevin McKinnon seconded and all present agreed. Susan Nash, President of Edward Nash & Sons, Inc. and Chairman Carrier will sign the document in front of a notary and the modifications will be sent to Coos County Registry of Deeds to be recorded as an amendment to Coos County Registry of Deeds Plan #1936 (Colebrook’s site plan #589).
Site Plan Public Hearing:
North Country Community Recreation Center -- William Sambito presented the proposed plan indicating the site improvement for the North Country Community Recreation Center located at 33 Rec Center Road. These improvements include a skateboard / skating rink; outdoor brick patio (indicated as a pavillion on the plan); small building to contain an office, bathrooms and storage; basketball / tennis court and an outdoor fitness center consisting of monkey bars, swings, slide, etc. Mr. Sambito explained that the skating rink will consist of cement, surrounded with galvanized boards. There is no plans for a roof at present; however, it will have lights around the outside area so that it can be used in the evening. The basketball / tennis court will have safety material (wood chips) on the ground.
Additional parking area was also noted on the plan.
Kevin McKinnon made a motion to approve the plan as presented, waiving the fee. Sandra Riendeau seconded the motion and all present agreed. Mr. Sambito will have a mylar prepared for the Chairman’s signature.
Conceptual Subdivision Plan:
Richard Feltham – Surveyor Dana Masson presented a conceptual for a two-lot subdivision of Richard Feltham’s property on Piper Hill Road. A public hearing will be warned for December 4, 2007.
Conceptual Site Plan:
Chris Thivierge – Mr. Thivierge proposed to build a four-bay garage for auto repair on the site currently owned by Raymond Thivierge at 193 Main Street. A public hearing will be warned for December 4, 2007.
Bills:
Frank Dumaine made a motion, seconded by Kevin McKinnon, to approve payment of the invoices from the News & Sentinel for $150 and Jordan Associates for $40. All present agreed.
New Business:
The Board reviewed the information on what the new tax maps created by the GPS system will contain. The town has been informed that, in order to continue mapping new structures, it will cost $11.50 per structure. It has been voiced that this cost should be passed on the the applicant with the building permit fee. The Board felt that, if every structure built to date has been placed on the map, the $11.50 should be added to every permit issued in the future and this fact listed on the fee schedule.
The Board reviewed the manufactured housing certificate of compliance and new installation requirements mandated by State law in December 2005. It was agreed that the new procedure when issuing a mobile home building permit would be give the applicant the blank State of NH Certificate of Compliance and advise them that the mobile home must be installed by a licensed installer and must be anchored or set on a cement pad to meet state requirements. These rules do not apply to campers, recreational vehicles, pre-site built housing, modular buildings, sites already occupied or sites for temporary relief from fire or other disaster.
The proposed site plan changes in regards to change of use will be reviewed in December prior to a public hearing.
It appears that an approval for operation for a state-approved septic system on David Brunault’s property on Ramsey Road (R7 Lot 15) has been obtained; however, the Board has no records of a structure on the property. It also appears there is a second driveway access from Ramsay Road to the Maple Ridge subdivision for which there is no driveway permit on file. A letter will be sent asking Mr. Brunault to come in to discuss this issue.
Kevin McKinnon made a motion, seconded by Frank Dumaine, to approve the October planning board minutes with correction.
The meeting was adjourned at 9 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Sheila M. Beauchemin
