Review and comment – Peter Sanborn, request to build a home on a portion of Morey Hill Road, a Class VI road
The board reviewed the request of Peter Sanborn to build a residence on a portion of a Class VI road and use Morey Hill and a portion of Dawes Road for access in order to provide input to the Selectboard for their decision on allowing building permits under RSA 674:41 on a portion of these Class VI roads, to enable Sanborn to pursue a building permit under the Zoning Ordinance. Urie stated he would not be in favor of allowing building permits on Class Vi roads. Phelps stated Sanborn should be able to build in this location.  Currier stated he took an oath to uphold the laws of New Hampshire and the Zoning Ordinance prohibits change of use to allow building on a road with no road frontage and he is uncertain if there are sufficient mitigating circumstances to allow a change of use in this particular case. Currier stated that in 2014 the Selectboard approved removing 2 acres of his property from current use; however, Sanborn should have been advised that improvements to the property were not in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. Keyser asked if the house would be seen from Route 11.  The answer was no, it would not be seen. Mishcon stated the Selectboard is only considering allowing building permits on the portions of Morey Hill and Dawes Roads adjacent to the Sanborn property. It was voted 4 against and 2 in favor of the Selectboard allowing building permits for the portion of Morey Hill and Dawes Class Vi roads adjacent to Sanborn’s property. Teach read a draft letter of review and comment from the Planning Board to the Selectboard that advised against allowing building permits on Class VI roads in general but noted that there may be extenuating circumstances in this case.
Non-Binding Consultation: Sophie Viandier request to build a yurt on Hoyt Road, Tax Map 14, Lot 730,346.  The property is in the AR Zone
Viandier proposes to build a Yurt under the Tiny House provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The lot has a total of three acres and the yurt will be located 53’ from Hoyt Road and 90’ from Route 11.  There will be no septic or electric; there will be a woodstove for heat. The yurt will be 314 square feet with a 20’ diameter. The driveway access is from Hoyt Road. A survey of the property is not necessary; however, an approved Special Exception from the Zoning Board of Adjustment and a driveway permit from the Road Agent will be necessary.
Reports and announcements
Selectboard by David Blinn – the bridge on Last Street will be completed in one day; the Elbow Pond Road bridge is 35 – 40 days out for the work to start.  The public site meeting with Hoyle Tanner regarding the Lawrence Street bridge went well. The transfer station construction is proceeding on track.
Planning Board by Nancy – the revised Subdivision Regulations have been circulated for approval and need to be included in the board members notebooks.  Currier and Teach discussed “enforcement”. It was discussed that it would be a good idea to involve the police department in future enforcement of town land use ordinances.  Teach stated she would like to review any letters that have already been issued by the Selectboard regarding violations. New members need to be recruited.
Election of Vice-Chair
An interim Vice-Chair is needed by the Planning Board.  Urie nominated Currier; Blinn seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously in favor of Currier as interim Vice-Chair.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 9 PM.
