Impact Fee RFP -update
Mrs. Sears gave the Board an update. She noted that the RFP was completed and had been posted around town. She also noted that the ad went into Foster’s and that it cost $40.25. She also noted it was submitted to the Town’s website and Local Government Center (LGC)’s website. This cost for the ad will come out of the warrant article money as the Board had voted to do last week.
She explained that she found one more person/firm on consultant’s list from LGC. She will send it out this week. Mr. Dean noted he had called down to Rockingham County to see if this was the kind of work they could do but was told they could only do part and would end up using Bruce Mayberry anyway. Bruce Mayberry was again noted as the “absolute best” person to handle this study.
Planning Board process/follow up/Old Business
Ms. Sears asked the Board how to handle a resident who asked about the production of hard cider on his existing orchard on McCrillis Rod (TM 39 L8). The Board discussed and noted that this hard cider would be a value added product of agriculture and did not need to go through any kind of approval process with the Town. It was noted that the hard cider would not be served on the property and the resident had noted that it would be a year or two away before it would be sold here. He told Mrs. Sears that it was going to be made on the property but sold at a farmers market. The Board agreed that the resident must follow the State and Federal licensing process but did not need to do anything with the Town.
Mr. Davies asked about the follow up for the nursery on Rte 4 that was in asking about expanding their greenhouses about six months ago. Mrs. Sears noted that she had given them the Major Home Occupation form but had not heard back from them.
MOTION by Mr. Davies to send a letter to the BOS informing them of the situation and asking them to comply with this Board’s request for them to come before this Board for a Major Home Occupation review for their existing nursery (TM3 Lot 4-1) 174 Old Turnpike Road. A copy of the letter to go to the owners.

Subdivision Regulations Review
Mrs. Sears noted that she had just sent the paragraph (page 17 “Frontage”) that Ms. Bonser wanted LGC to review to them today. The Board discussed this paragraph again and the related RSA 674:36. They concluded that they would put (See RSA…) at the end of the paragraph and made minor word changes. The Board then continued where they last left off on the top of page 18 and also discussed their homework on page 17.
They discussed how the Shoreline Protection Act (SPA) may apply to the Open Water section. They deleted specific copy with dimensions opting to go with noting that “all tree cutting must be done in accordance with RSA 483-B:9.
They discussed in depth the width requirements, waivers, and the Board’s right to request information from the applicant. They discussed RSA 483-B and again decided to site that at the end of the paragraph.
During this discussion, Mr. Dean briefly discussed the HB 43 in regards to how Planning Boards may have to handle waivers if it passes. Mrs. Sears also added that the Board should also review the waiver requests forms/clause that she had previously suggested that the Board work into this document and into the Site Plan Review when they get to it.
They continued with other minor wording and punctuation changes that will make this document easier to understand. They ended the discussion at the top of page 20; (q). This working document is available in the Planning Board Office during regular office hours.
The Board decided to continue this review at next week’s workshop, and hopefully finish it then. They decided not to have a workshop on April 29th. The next regularly scheduled meeting is May 6th but there are no cases scheduled for that night so it could also be used for a workshop.
MOTION by Mr. Gylfphe to adjourn.
