D. Voss offered that she had tried to contact Desiree Peterson of Sullivan Tire but was told that she was out of the office due to a back injury.
Agenda Item 5: Set date for Subdivision Regulation Public Hearing (Calculation of Wetlands as part of Lot Sizing)
T. Moore offered that the Public Hearing for review and possible change to the Subdivision Regulations regarding lot sizing should be set for July 16, 2014. This will afford the proper time for legal noticing.
Consensus of the Board was that this was appropriate.
Agenda Item 6: Reading of Communications Directed to or From the Board.
T. Moore noted that following items in the member folders:
- Legal Notice from City of Haverhill regarding Perspective and Magnavista Drives in Haverhill
- Cover letter from OEP (Office of Energy and Planning) survey that will be completed by the Planning Office
- Notice of 98th Annual Haverhill Chamber of Commerce Dinner where Scott Brown is the guest speaker
Agenda Item 7: Report/Update by Tim Moore on RPC and MPO Activities and on the Rail Project.
T. Moore offered that RPC held their Annual Meeting at Hampton Beach and Jill Senter was presented with the James Hayden Award for outstanding work in conservation.
T. Moore noted that the next rail advisory committee meeting would be in August and the next public hearing would be in September.
Agenda Item 8: Other Business
Blinn’s Auto Body
T. Moore noted that a letter had been received from John Blinn of Blinn’s Auto Body. The letter requested an extension for installing the final top coat of pavement and re-striping to September 30, 3014. T. Moore noted that this project was one of many that had compliance deadlines of May 31. He added that this would give Mr. Blinn adequate time to get the work done and it wasn’t close to the time when the asphalt plants close.
T. Moore asked the Board and the consensus was that it would be appropriate to grant the request.
July 2, 2014 Meeting
T. Moore noted that the Board doesn’t generally have a meeting the first week in July. He noted that there wasn’t any burning matters before the Board so there will be no meeting on July 2.
T. Moore offered that whether or not to cancel the first meeting in August would be considered at the July 16, 2014 meeting. He added in August he would like to start reviewing the permitted uses tables for all districts and also review Subdivision and Site Plan Regulations to make sure there are no other conflicts with the Zoning Ordinance.
There were no additional matters before the Board and the meeting was adjourned at 6:44 PM.
Respectfully Submitted as recorded by Dee Voss.
Approved by the Planning Board on _________________________
