Members of the Board:

 

It was noted by the Board that it would be fair to say that because of the distance and the expense of flagging of the Wetlands Conservation District, it would be a hardship to the landowner.

 

MOTION:

 

Kenneth Swayze made a motion that the Dunbarton Planning Board continue the proposed Michael/Louise DeTurk (C6-01-03) and Janet Mozrall (C6-01-04) proposed Lot Line Adjustment and Two Lot Subdivision located on 1201 Montalona Road in the Low Density District in Dunbarton, NH as presented this evening until the next monthly meeting in August.  The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

 

OTHER BUSINESS:

 

                CIP PROGRAM – UPDATE

 

James Marcou, Chairman, reported that David Breault, Planning Board member, will be Chairman for the CIP Program.  Charles (Chuck) Graybill will be the Selectmen’s Representative for the CIP Project.  Other members of the Planning Board will serve as needed. 

 

SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS – UPDATE

 

James Marcou, Chairman, noted that the Dunbarton Planning Board Subdivision Regulations are in dire need of being updated.  This will be a priority project for the Board.  Kenneth Swayze will work on them.  In addition, the Board should consider paying to have the regulations done.

 

CERTIFIED MAIL:

 

Alison Vallieres stated that the Post Office has a new process of handling certified mail.  Each individual letter needs to be scanned into the system which takes considerable additional time when there is a mailing of over 100, etc. (The Post Office has indicated this is necessary in order to have a complete tracking of each certified letter)   She would like to only notify abutters for the first meeting of a subdivision with a note on the agenda that there will not be further certified letters being sent.  Items are on the agenda for 3-4 months and abutters do not pick up their certified letters once they receive the first one.  Ken Swayze stated that he knew other towns in the area did not notify abutters after the first meeting. 

 

Ken Swayze will look into the possibility of doing this in accordance with the State RSA.

 

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
