The meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM by Chairman Peggy Chalmers.
The minutes of December 20, 2007 were reviewed. A motion was made by Bruce Jennings to approve the minutes as amended. The motion was seconded by Emma Smith and approved unanimously.
The minutes of January 17, 2008 were reviewed. A motion was made by Derek Tatlock to approve the minutes as corrected. The motion was seconded by Peter White and approved with one abstention (P. White).
The members reviewed the maps that were marked with suggestions by citizens who attended the public meeting at the Safety Services Building to compare likes and differences for land use. All of the maps (4 total) show a business district near the intersection of Rts. 11 & 103. Michael noted that one thing that they all seem to be in agreement on is the area around Wendell for business development and Peggy noted that there does seem to be interest in developing the Harbor.
Michael advised that the prediction given for population is about 4,000 by 2010, based on trends, and 250 new homes in 10 years. Peggy advised that it comes down to folks being attracted to a year round area. Michael noted that mixed use/light industrial along Avery Rd. is noted on one map and questioned if they need to expand outside Sunapee Village for commercial, and if so; where do we go? If there is no interest now, is it needed?
The maps indicate that all seem to agree that the Northwest corner should be left untouched (conservation and rural lands). It was also suggested that rural lands should be placed going down Rt 103 from the conservations lands to Mt. View Lake and over to Rt. 103B and perhaps extend the rural lands in the northwest corner down to Perkins Pond.
Michael suggested that they think over all these suggestions and be ready to discuss them
The meeting adjourned at 9:35 PM.
NOTE: The above minutes represent a summary, not a verbatim transcript of the tape.
