Abutters present: Ben Brown, David Dobson and Mark Fornier
David Noyes presented plans to the Board. Mr. Noyes explained that he had not changed the plans from the last hearing because he would like the Board to reconsider the requests it made at the December 2, 2004 meeting.
The Board was in agreement that the use of the Merrimack County Soil Survey of 1965 could be laid over the plan and that would give the Board the information they need to be assured that the smaller lot was not substandard. The Board discussed the issue of a soil scientist stamp. Also the Board understood the rational behind not including the larger lot, because Mr. Noyes had not surveyed the entire large lot and therefore he could not in good faith put the frontage and such from the larger lot on the plan. The Board did request that a diagram of the larger lot with frontage be on the plan.
The Board is requiring setbacks, Robert W. Gagne being listed as an owner of record, locust map to indicate the site and a note describing what is taking place.

Mr. Wilson would like to improve his property and create a few single family lots as well as some multi-family units. He would like to enter and exit the property from Mason Road. The Board was in agreement that Mason Road would be safer than Route 4 where the State driveway cutouts are presently. Concerns of the Board are traffic coming back out on to Route 4 trying to turn left to go to Concord. Mr. Wilson would like to know what harm it would do to up grade the rest of Mason Road to Towle Road and have the road upgraded to a class 5 road for this new use. The Board felt that improving Mason and Towle would be a benefit to the development and the safety of the town and the towns’ people living there. Mr. Wilson was sent to the Selectmen. Chairman Scott to write a letter in favor of upgrading the roads.
NEW BUSINESS:
Joe Austin has come to the Board for clarification for the Selectmen on imposing impact fees. The Board was in agreement that development was Condominium units. The Board also was in agreement that no building permits can be pulled until the association rules have been reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney.
