Subdivision Regulations
Ms. Mooney noted that she had done her “homework” in which she could not find a place for the “soil one mapping” term discussed last week. The Board agreed it was not needed. Mrs. Sears noted that she is still playing phone tag with the Town Engineer in regards to some updated information needed in these regulations. She also noted that the Road Agent agreed that the road standards do need to be updated. The Board will give it one more week to see if Mrs. Sears can get the new information.
Point of Order: Ms. Bonser left the meeting at 8:28pm during this discussion.
The Board reviewed the latest changes and corrected mostly grammar, punctuation and formatting issues. Mrs. Sears will also make these changes and have Mrs. Mooney proof them when complete. Mrs. Sears will follow up with the Town Engineer to get the proper road graphic and information that needs to be added.
Chair Canney noted that this Board would go with the Town Engineer’s recommendations, for the specifications for roads anyway so the Board could go ahead and vote tonight. The rest of the Board agreed.
MOTION by Ms. Mooney to accept these Subdivision Rules and Regulations for Nottingham, New Hampshire.

2010 PB Budget
The Board discussed briefly their proposed budget. Mrs. Sears gave the Board the answers the questions raised last week by Mrs. Carlson.
MOTION by Mr. Stockus to submit the proposed 2010 budget reviewed last week and this week totaling $47,775.00.
SECOND by Mr. Davies
VOTE 4-Aye. 0- Opposed 0- Abstained MOTION PASSED
Other Business
Ms. Mooney would like the Board to consider getting started again on the Open Space/Conservation Ordinance again. The Board agreed to ask Mr. Mettee next week. Mrs. Sears noted that due to the change in the workforce housing law on January 1, 2010 Mr. Mettee had suggested doing this Workforce Housing issue before the Open Space/Conservation Ordinance. The Board would like to ask if the two projects could overlap, possibly have someone review what has already been done on the Open Space/Conservation project so that when the Board has time to go back to this it will be ready to review.
Ms. Mooney and Ms. Smith also noted the need for the Town to get the town maps done digitally. It was noted that it was expensive but just continues to get more expensive each year it is put off. They discussed various ways to pay for it and the Conservation Commission will be in touch with the Planning Board for their support of this topic in the coming months.
MOTION by Ms. Mooney to adjourn
