ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES:
Meeting of June 19, 2013

NEW BUSINESS:
1. Open discussion, on the verbal request of Mr. Coleman McDonough, to review the Variance request of August 18, 2009. Also, claiming that the Board had made an error, he wanted the taped version of the meeting be checked. Mr. McDonough had been invited to this meeting, but chose not to attend.
The Board reviewed the variance request submitted by Mr. McDonough, the minutes of the Planning Board (April 14, 2009) , the Notice of Decision of the Planning Board (April 14, 2009) the tape from the August 18, 2009 meeting, the Notice of Decision granted by the Board of Appeals. The ;Board members also read the August 5, 2013 letter from the Rockingham Planning Commission.
After review and discussion, the Board concurred that this had nothing to do with their decision. They also added that, at the bottom of the Notice, it clearly states that anyone has a right to appeal this decision within 30 days. Also, there was apparently no Building Permit issued in 2009, and the building was not built within the year after the decision.
It was requested by the Board, that the Secretary advise Mr. McDonough of this.
Mr. McDonough may need to return to the Planning Board on this issue.
2. Correspondence: Letter review and short discussion of the Rockingham Planning Commission Regional Master Plan Update Conversations. No interest at this time.
3. A copy of the “Town and City” review was circulated during the meeting.
4. A Performance Evaluation of Mrs. Clark was discussed. She will sign and return to Town Hall.
