                        J.R. Swindlehurst, III

                        Les Hammond

                        Janice VandeBogart, Town Administrator

 

 

 

7:00 p.m.  Other Business, Tim Langely and Tim Mihoy, re:  culvert

The above men came in regarding the culvert on Rangeway Rd.  Jan VandeBogart was called and informed the Board he will replace this culvert in the near future.

 

7:25 p.m. Fred Weston, re:  Everett Rd.

A discussion regarding the proposed intersection on Everett Rd. took place, including the grade and length of gravel and type of intersection.  The intersection will be 50 feet from the center line of driveway to the road, as in the original plan.  The Board okayed  the gravel being maintained at 20 feet.  A discussion of Mr. Weston's revisions to the agreement, including the following, took place:

 

On p. 2 - will acknowledge that some water will drain onto the subdivision, this replaces the easement.

 Mr. Weston struck paragraph 2, because he feels that the next paragraph covers the same information concerning who is responsible for any salt contamination.  Chuck stated that it is imperative that this paragraph remains because we can't, with any certainty, determine the source of any contamination.  He especially wants this paragraph to remain, considering that Mr. Weston added a new paragraph.

 

Mr. Weston rewrote 2.1, which required the developer to drill  the wells, before selling the land.

 

Chuck indicated that Mr. Weston is responsible for all wells, and he feels that the revisions, as written, is limiting the developer's responsibility to only five parcels.  He wants this revision struck.

 

2.3 - Mr. Weston indicates that he will comply with all environmental laws.  Chuck questioned why he is stipulating that compliance only applies while the developer owns any or all parcels.  He wants this revision struck.

 

It was agreed that the Town will apply the base coat and top coat at the same time, rather than the revision's requirement that the paving be done within two months.

 

A discussion ensued regarding whether this agreement should be attached to each deed.  Chuck wants the Town to protect future landowners, by attaching the agreement.  Les feels that it doesn't need to be attached because the agreement will be used to get the legal description anyway.

 

Sections 6.1 and 6.2 will be turned into sections 7.1 and 7.2.

 

Mr. Weston will resend the newly revised agreement to Lisa, the Town's attorney.  He requested that the Board sign the plans before giving it to the Planning Board.  Chuck declined to sign it, because the Board doesn't have jurisdiction over all parts of the road represented on the plan.  Mr. Weston will leave copies for Don Mayo and the Planning Board with Janice.

 

8:30 p.m. Other Business:

Janice presented an invoice from Jeff Nelson, for Special Duty for Police at the Memorial Day ceremony.  The Board indicated that this doesn't qualify as Special Duty.

 

Janice indicated that bids are needed on upcoming work.  Janice will prepare to send out to bid.

 

8:45 p.m.  John Turner, re:  updated building code

Les asked John if there is a new building code for the State of N.H.  and if so, for John to get a copy.  John was unsure, but will check it out.

 

J.R. questioned how long  a mobile home on Long Pond Rd. could stay there.  John indicated that he talked with the owner in March, who said he would get rid of it.  John will check for occupancy, including plumbing and wheels.

 

8:55 p.m. Ken Perkins, clarification on an agreement

Mr. Perkins brought in an agreement his neighbor had signed with the Town concerning a nonbuildable lot adjacent to his lot, which stipulated that it was not buildable unless it was annexed to an adjacent lot.  The Board confirmed that when he purchases this adjacent lot, the agreement is dissolved.  Les mentioned that Mr. Perkins would still need to go throught the building process.

 

9:00 p.m. Lori Davis, re: Bill Nichols hauling peat to his house.

Lori questioned the advisability of Bill Nichols hauling the peat from the transfer station to his house.  Les advised her to call Bill directly.

 

9:15 p.m. Les made a motion, which was seconded by J.R., to adjourn the meeting.  The motion carried.
