At 8:43pm Mr. Ed Anderson and Mr. Steve Chicoine sat in for an informational exchange concerning a property in the Gould Hill area of Greenfield.
Mr. Anderson questioned: “What is the town’s position on aircraft taking off and landing in the town?” He had checked with the State of NH and the State feels that it is the PB jurisdiction. GMorris stated that the zoning ordinance does not specifically prevent it. JAdams referenced page 438 of RSA 674.16 v.” JAdams stated that he called LGC and reported that “unless you have something prohibiting it. It is allowed.” GMorris questioned, “What about unnecessary noise?” “Unnecessary noise is in town’s regulations, but excludes aircraft,” stated Mr. Anderson. JAdams said he would check with LGC about residential neighborhoods, noise levels, and other vehicles.
GMorris commented that the area is zoned residential. JAdams said that the Board needs to educate themselves with LGC. GMorris said, “The town doesn’t have position on aircraft and will research it to educate ourselves. MSteere stated that we could put something in the works relative to aircraft, but research is needed and any regulations would have to come before Town Meeting next year.
Mr. Anderson said that the lot in question has been clear-cut. JAdams stated that the owner did file the intent to cut paperwork. Mr. Anderson said that there are 3 boulders that may fall into the road because of serious erosion that is happening as the result of the clear-cut being done on this property. He was advised to send a letter to Selectmen about his concerns regarding soil erosion and boulders.
MSteere commented that any landing and taking off of aircraft within Town has to come before Planning Board. MSteere moved that the Board write a zoning change to take into consideration the use of aircraft in the town of Greenfield addressing health, safety, noise etc for inclusion in Town Meeting warrant in 2011.
