PUBLIC HEARING: MASTER PLAN
There was much discussion on the changes to the Master Plan. Tracy praised Mr. Giuda and the committee for a job well done. A request had been made for a review from a former planner of Central NH Regional Planning Commission, Mr. Walsh commended the committee for a job well done and made some suggestions. Mr. Giuda and other members of the committee were all in agreement that the Master Plan had all the information it needed, any other information that might be relevant is available at the town offices. Why would we want the Master Plan so big that it would confuse people instead of using it as the tool it was meant to be.
There being no further discussion a motion was made to accept the Master Plan from the committee.
Towle/McIntosh (Passed)

Abutters present: Margaret Barrar
Mr. Talbot does not have a new plan for the Board tonight, but has come back to the Board to make sure he understands what the Board is looking for. Chairman Scott explained that he has all the information he needs with the site review checklist and if his surveyor follows it to the letter he will be fine. High intensity soil survey done by a soil scientist needs to be done and recorded on the plan, state septic approval and driveway permits need to be on the plan as well as wetlands setbacks. The Board was in agreement that property needs to meet the current zoning and all of the information that the Board has given Mr. Talbot for the plan has been in compliance with the current zoning and he needs to follow the site review checklist. The Board has requested information over the past few months that still is missing from
the plan.
Public Hearing continued to May 6, 2004.
