2. APPOINTMENTS
•Van Webb and Beth McGuinn gave the Board an update on the Wendell Marsh North Project. So far, private funds are at ¾’s of the budgeted amount and they have raised over $16,000 dollars to date from the Town of Sunapee and other surrounding towns. The Project has completed its appraisal, survey map, hazardous waste assessment, the easement drafting and the preliminary title. The Preliminary Title still has a couple of items that needs to be cleaned up but it is almost complete. The fundraising is a continuing process. The grants that had been applied for, LCHIP and Mooseplate were unable to give funding due to lack of funding ability. There are still a few steps that need to be completed; complete fundraising and deeds, title, baseline documentation. There are
lists of Easement Provisions of activities that will and will not be allowed on the property. Selectman Gottling asked about the Prohibited Activities with exceptions, what the exceptions would be. Beth McGuinn responded with anything to do with the water/sewer lines or anything that helps to maintain the property and the use of the property are the only exceptions given. The goal is to be completed by the summer of 2013. The result of the project would be that the Town of Sunapee owns the property and Ausbon Sargent will hold the conservation easement on the property. Selectman Gottling asked if the Project would reapply for the LCHIP grant again in the future and Beth McGuinn responded with yes but that they would not be able to reapply for this project but future projects. John Augustine asked about the dollar amount being paid by taxpayers currently for the taxes on the property. It was stated that it is less the $500.
•Robert Batson came to the Board from HK Sunapee Cove, LLC. There was prior extension of the grandfathered use of Sunapee Cove that was given on April 23, 2012 until May 29th of 2013 to the HK Sunapee Cove, LLC. Mr. Batson would like to have another year extension for the grandfathered use of Sunapee Cove. Selectman Trow moved to grant a one-year extension on the Grandfathered status of the Sunapee Cove facility to Hall Keen Property Management from May 29, 2013 to May 29, 2014. Seconded by Selectman Gottling, unanimous.
Public Comments: John Augustine wanted to know if there was going to be an update on the Memorandum of Understanding at this meeting. In addition, John Augustine was asking about the all-day meeting on April 23rd for the Harbor House Livery. Mr. Augustine was wondering why it was all day or was this a mistake. Clarification was given that the Harbor House Livery meeting will be held on April 23rd @ 5:00PM at the Town Meeting Room.
