- Kullgren read a letter from the
New Ipswich Planning Board regarding a public hearing on 1/29/2003 for a
two-lot subdivision on Boynton Road in New Ipswich. The lot borders the Temple town line. No board member was able to attend the
New Ipswich hearing.
- Tim Fiske, Road
Agent, came in to review class VI and class V roads with the Board. T. Fiske and the Board reviewed the
draft maps. Changes were made to
the “Traffic Counter Location” map.
The class VI roads were marked in purple highlighter and abandoned
roads, which need to be removed from the maps were marked with green
highlighter.
- Review of 1/15/02
minutes. Move by Petro to accept
the minutes as written, second by S. Fiske and voted in the unanimous
affirmative.
- Wil Wildes, Fire
Chief, came in to discuss the International Building Code. Kullgren mentioned the public notice
put into the paper regarding a public hearing on the building code
scheduled for 2/3/03. Kullgren
requested that it be noted in the minutes that the Planning Board had not
taken a vote on presenting or backing the proposal for a building code at
the 1/15/03 meeting. Kullgren then
stated he had spoken to the NHMA regarding the posting of this hearing
and, in his opinion, based on the information he had received the legality
of the hearing may be questionable.
Fiske read RSA 675:3 regarding the method of enactment for the
building code and explained that the Selectmen had met with Attorney Drescher
regarding this issue. Due to the
time constraints Attorney Drescher had written the public notice. There was discussion of whether there
should be a public hearing and whether the Planning Board members should
show up. Kullgren asked if any of
the Planning Board members had any questions of Wildes concerning the
building code. Wildes described
the electrical, fire & plumbing codes that he enforces at the present
time. Move by Fiske that the
Planning Board vote on whether or not to support the adoption of the
building code, no second. Moved by
Pickman, second by Connolly for a show of hands regarding the holding of
the public hearing. The show of
hands determined 3 for holding the public hearing 4 against holding the
public hearing. Kullgren requested
a notice be posted that there would be no public hearing.
- Kullgren informed the
Board that he had been asked if the Board would clarify the intent to
Article IV Section 7 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding attached accessory
apartments. There was discussion
of whether an accessory apartment could be attached to the opposite side
of an attached garage and still qualify under the zoning ordinance. The Board clarified that the intent of
this section is to allow up to 30% of the square footage of the primary
residence to be expanded for an accessory apartment, as long as the
accessory apartment is a part of the footprint of the original residence.
- Fiske showed the
Board members a copy of the 10-year plan that the Board of Selectmen had
put together. Fiske asked the
Planning Board members to let the Board of Selectmen know if they had any
questions or comments.
