Dave will be mailing a notice to a property owner on Main Street regarding construction of a structure without a building permit, and he will also contact the Conservation Commission regarding the tree removal and proximity to water on the property.

Van Dam/Klee – Costa Trust: Lot line adjustment/annexation at 130 West Shore Road
Costa recused as he is an applicant. A plan of the proposed boundary line adjustment was presented to the Board and the public for review and comment. There being no further discussion, the boundary line adjustment was approved by the Board, and mylars and plans were officially signed and a copy of each will be returned to Clayton Platt for recording at the Merrimack County Registry of Deeds.
Non-Binding Consultation: Betty and Richard Adams for a boundary line adjustment for property on Switch Road
The Adamses explained to the Board that the property which they own included a garage previously on a piece of property on the opposite side of the road from them. They would like to subdivide the property on the opposite side of the road in order to retain the garage, as that property is for sale.
The Board advised that the property cannot be subdivided as it is already a non-conforming lot. Several alternatives to subdivisions were discussed, such as a lease in perpetuity.
Discussion and Updates
Pat Moyer: Created a Planning Board notebook for Marj Roy, Town Administrator; created a notebook which includes the minutes and agendas; will have a paper zoning map for the next meeting; has gotten a lot of the filing done; and has helped a few people already.
Art Urie: A draft Beacon article was distributed for Board review and updates, and Art will update the article and submit for the June issue.
Ragged Mountain Fish and Game Club: Costa stated he would like to see a diagram of property, facilities, and infrastructure for a discussion between the Board and the Ragged Mountain Fish and Game Club to discuss what the Club would like. Teach advised this will be discussed at future meeting.
Dave Blinn: Update on legal counsel on Board for advice on D1. Blinn stated the town attorney has reviewed the proposed use tables and sent a response which Teach read to the Board, and the Board discussed possible solutions.
Jon Warzocha: Planning Board processes. Warzocha distributed an e-mail that Teach provided a printed copy of which included a flow chart pertaining to applications for both the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Planning Board. Phelps will contact Jon for revisions to the flow chart.
Doug Phelps: Update on map work with Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC). Doug contacted Mike Izard at LRPC. It was determined that the paper map is the correct map to be used for a digital overlay. Phelps will put together verbal metes and bounds. The end of July is the proposed finish date, and the next step will be to present it to the townspeople for their approval as the official map.
