Subdivision

Dawn Tuomala presented the case.

Ms. Tuomala explained the changes made to the plan which include lot one and lot three have been turned. Lot one will be smaller. She also addressed the new drainage plan and said it held up well with all the recent rain.

Mr. Brangdon has not seen this plan yet but according to Ms. Tuomala he was agreeable to the proposal. Discussed Mr. Bragdon’s signature on the drainage plan.

Discussed an easement to maintain the flow if the landowner do not. Ms. Tuomala will put maintenance notes on the plan.

Mr. Fish contacted Normandeau for an outside review if necessary. They are drawing up a subcontract with another firm because Rich Masters is in Louisiana.

An abutter brought up the point that on Bragdon’s plan it says he will not “adversely affect the run-off”, which he has done so what will make it not happen on this plan. It is written on this plan. The original plan shows the lowest elevation was where his house was built and he did fill. He felt that noone can enforce it. It is possible to set up a mechanism for the abutters to solve the problem and find relief if possible such as the CO not being issued until the culvert is constructed.

Discussed the topo plan being recorded. Difference of flow is 2.5

Two houses will be in the commercial zone. They have a variance. No commercial access from Intervale Road. The lots will be used as homes and not businesses. The Board discussed the variance. Note 15 refers to “no access from Intervale Road for commercial use”. But with the change in the plan the road frontage and access is now different and this has to be related back to the variance. Discussed access for Lots F-31-3 and F-32-3 and both lots must have the same access info on the plan. Letter will be sent to Attorney Little.

To do list:

-Authorize Dawn Tuomala to send letter to Attorney Little

-Common drive easement

-Drainage easement

-Abutter agreement on the drainage plan

-Include it the easement the right to remove and replace the culvert if necessary

-Put note on plan states restrictions on access still same for F-32-1 and F-32-3

VOTE: Mr. MacMartin made a motion to continue to next month. Mr. Fairbank seconded it. Motion carried unanimously.

John & Jessie Garabrant – F-31-1

Change of Use

VOTE: Mr. MacMartin made a motion to continue to next month. Mr. Fairbank seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

Attempt another letter or call Garabrant to inform them to come before the Board.

Ask Carla Walter to call Mr. MacMartin if the letter comes back so we can get them informed.

OTHER BUSINESS

Joe Torre

Gravel pit updated reclamation

This application was not noticed for tonight’s meeting.

Mr.Torre is asking for a modification because he didn’t take out as much gravel.

Slopes are 3:1 and are now 5:1. Water table is 10 feet instead of 6 feet. Mr. Torre went over changes to the pit.

Mr. MacMartin did visit the site and noted the east side slopes has been modified and it is a gentle slope.

Seeded about ¾ of it the area and some have germinated. After last rain there is a green fuzz. The part that is not seeded still needs to be graded and topsoil and seeded. It did well with the recent rain storms.

There is no bond on this pit but the town has a mortgage.

Wilton Pit Stop

Matt Fish is off the Board. Mr. Sullivan will chair this portion.

The Granite State Concrete correspondence is in the file

Carol Roberts addressed the Board on the GSC application to DES for renewal of permit. Their group believes there might be some site violations. Wilton Pit Stop did request a hearing with DES which is maybe another 30-40 days out.

The renewal for a permit has two generators and a crusher. The group does not believe the original site plan had two generators. Discussed a 1989 and an April 2001 site plan they may be working from.

See file for letter of submission read into the record from Mr. David Andrews.

Jeff Kadtz addressed the Board (see file for package dated Oct. 19, 2005 from Jeff Kadtz). He said the admissions inventory state GSC had a single generator.

Talked about June 2004 site visit where they discussed one generator but the videotape from a site visit shows two generators.

Tab 26 in Normandeau’s report. 2002, 2003 air emissions reports Mr. Kadtz believes the reports on Tab 26 was really looking for 2001 and 2002 and waited for the 2003. He would like the Board to see if the facts are correct.

The permit expires at the end of October 2005. In twelve days Mr. Kadtz believes GSC will be operating without a permit. Mr. Kadtz did research that states the generator is equal to burning 33 diesel trucks on the site.

Mr. Kadtz questioned if GSC has authority to use electricity from pole instead of burning emissions?

Alan Belanchik, Curtis Farm Road, addressed the Board. He reported he experienced a few scary blasts recently. He has have lived there since 1991. The blasts are longer and louder at their property line. The house is several hundred feet from property line. Between 3-4 weeks it is getting worse. Board questioned if they are still keeping seismograph information and where it would be obtained.

Matt Fish is back on the Board as Chairperson.

Driveway Permits

Road Agent Steve Elliott and Dawn Tuomala addressed the Board.

Mr. Elliott inquired where the ordinance is to back up the driveway permits.

They are looking to update the paperwork and the information. The purpose allows the road agent to use information he has to make determinations. RSA 236:13.

Mr. Tuomala went over subdivision and zoning regulations and wanted to add information to the form. She recommended in Zoning to make a new section called 4.9.1. They presented updated paperwork

Discussed if this would be a zoning change or a noticed meeting.

Spencer Brookes said the biggest problem in Alstead, NH, which just experienced major flooding, was inadequate culverts under driveways. He suggested to include the size of required culverts under the driveway section.

Have Carla Walter send this info to Attorney Little and see if this can be adopted or have suggestions on how to adopt. Inquire if we can adopt this under 236:13.
