DISCUSSION: Paul Adams
Proposal of “Wetlands Ordinance”
Mr. Adams asked to poll the Board to see their like and dislikes for an ordinance of this kind, most members were in favor of a wetlands ordinance and would possibly undertake and work on such an ordinance.
Mr. Adams stated that the Conservation Commission was invited to attend the meeting and it seems they choose not to show. Mr. Andrews did come to the meeting but had a prior commitment and could not stay but did leave some information with Chairman Brehm.
Mr. Andrews stated that he did not get an invitation to the meeting just the last paragraph of Mr. Adams letter which states “I have requested the Planning Board to schedule this draft ordinance as an agenda Discussion Item at the October meeting of the Planning Board on October 4, 2001 at 7PM at the Grange Hall.”
The Board was in agreement that the town attorney and Central NH Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC) needed to review the RSA’s and logistics of the ordinance.
There were a few questions about wet lands delineators, underground storage tanks, buffer zones. Do we really need this ordinance, does the state provide all this.
TOWN OF CHICHESTER PLANNING BOARD MINUTES OF 10/4/01 PAGE 4
The Board is working on a change in the zoning on another item and will do there best to work on this ordinance after it has been review by the town attorney and CNHRPC.
Mr. Adams wanted to bring to the attention of the Board that RSA: 675:4 states that this ordinance could go on the ballot as a petition and did not need to go through Planning Board at all. Mr. Adams would like to know when he will know if the Board will work on this item, Chairman Brehm stated he would expect to know something by the next meeting.
The Board will request a copy of Wet lands ordinance Bow, Dunbarton, New Boston, Hopkinton and any other area towns CNHRPC thinks we should have.
