The Board convened the meeting at 7:15 pm.
Appointment of Chair and Vice Chair for 2008: Mr. Burnside stated that the first item of business would be to vote for a Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Board. Due to a number of individuals being absent, the Board agreed to wait to appoint a Chair and Vice Chair until the next regularly scheduled Board meeting on April 17, 2008. Mr. Schacht moved to appoint Mr. Burnside as Chair Pro-Tem for this meeting, which was seconded by Mr. Robblee and unanimously passed.
Approval of Planning Board Meeting Minutes: Chair Pro-Tem Burnside moved to table the approval of the minutes of the March 20, 2008 Planning Board meeting due to the fact that a quorum of the Board from the March 20 meeting was not present. Mr. Robblee seconded the motion to table the approval of the minutes to the next meeting.
Zeke and Mack's Realty, LLC; File #2006-11PB; Town of Antrim Earth Excavation Permit: Mr. Houseworth explained that it has come to his attention that the Planning Department never issued a hard copy of the Town of Antrim's Earth Excavation Permit to Zeke and Mack's Realty, LLC for their earth excavation operations on property located off Elm Avenue (Tax Map 214, Lot 17), in the Rural District. He reminded the members that the applicants had received conditional approval of the earth excavations operation in the fall of 2006 and had met all of the Boards' conditions by mid February 2007. He explained that the staff overlooked the issuing of the permit and recommends that the Board issue it to Zeke and Mack's Realty, LLC immediately, so it can be legally posted on-site as required by RSA 155:E. After a brief
discussion, Mr. Robblee moved to issue the Town of Antrim Earth Excavation Permit to Zeke and Mack's Realty, LLC, back dating it to February 8, 2007, when the reclamation bond was signed and issued. Mr. Schacht seconded the motion, which was unanimously passed. Mr. Houseworth explained that he will prepare the five (5) year excavation permit, which will run from February 8, 2007 to February 8, 2012, and have the Chair sign it at the next meeting.
CBS Holding, LLC; File #2006-01PB; Pending a Signed and Notarized Agreement: Chair Pro-Tem Burnside recused himself from the CBS Holding, LLC discussion. Mr. Houseworth informed the Board members that the Planning Department still hasn't received a signed, one-sided copy of the Agreement between CBS Holding, LLC and the Town of Antrim Planning Board. He reminded the Board that a signed, two-sided copy of the agreement was received in early November, 2007 but it was never registered at the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds in Nashua, NH due to the fact that it was a double-sided document. He explained that the Town of Antrim is adequately protected by the signed, two-sided agreement but it really needs to be registered at the Registry of Deeds. He explained that a one-sided copy was sent to Mr. Leigh Bosse,
one of the representatives of CBS Holding, LLC, but it was mistakenly signed and notarized in error. We are still waiting to receive a properly signed and notarized one-sided agreement. He stated that he spoke with Mr. Bosse today about it. Mr. Bosse is still working on it but it is a time consuming process due to the fact that one of the representatives lives in Florida, while the other resides in the State of Washington. After a short discussion, Mr. Robblee moved to have Mr. Houseworth draft a letter and send it to Mr. Bosse, explaining that the Board will give CBS Holding, LLC thirty (30) days from the date of the letter to submit a properly signed and notarized one-sided agreement. Otherwise, the Board will be forced to schedule and hold a second revocation public hearing. Ms. Wasserloos seconded the motion which unanimously passed.
Board of Selectmen Meeting Request with All Department Heads: Mr. Houseworth explained that the Antrim Board of Selectmen have requested a meeting with all of the Town Department Heads in order to address any concerns, problems, goals for the year, or expenses to date. He stated that the Planning and Zoning Department is scheduled to meet with the Board of Selectmen during their meeting on Monday, May 12, 2008 at 5 PM at the Antrim Town Hall. He invited the Board members to attend if they so desire or to inform him of any concerns or information they would like him to pass on to the Board of Selectmen.
Contoocook Valley Transportation Cooperative (CVTC) - March '08 Newsletter: Mr. Houseworth provided the members with the Contoocook Valley Transportation Cooperative (CVTC) March 2008 Newsletter.
Conferences, Workshops, and Seminars - NH LGC Land Use Clerks Workshop: Mr. Houseworth provided the members with a pamphlet for the upcoming New Hampshire Local Government Center (NH LGC) - Local Officials Workshop, Parts I and II. He stated that the sessions are scheduled for Saturday, June 7 and 14, 2008, from 9 AM - 3:30 PM, at the NH LGC at 25 Triangle Park Drive in Concord, NH. He explained that the Planning Dept. will cover registration fees ($40 per person) and encourages individuals to carpool together.
Mr. Robblee moved to adjourn the meeting. It was seconded by Mr. Schacht and was unanimously approved. Chair Pro-Tem Burnside adjourned the meeting at 8:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Bradley Houseworth, Town Planner
Antrim Planning Board
