Time:  7:00 PM
Place:  Town Office
Present: Selectmen Jerry Greene, Richard Rockwood and Daniel Donovan, III and Recording Secretary Peggy Arn

1) Maurice Guay informed the Board that the new bailer would need some electrical wiring.  Chairman Greene informed Maurice that the Board had been approached by DES to meet with them to discuss the requirements that will have to be met to keep the incinerator in operation.  Maurice agreed that it would be helpful.  Peggy will contact Todd Moore to set up a time they can meet.

2) The Board then met with Steering Committee members and Mark Fraser of DBU Construction , Inc. and signed the contract for the construction of the new sidewalks on Main Street.

3) Dawn Tuomala and Steve Demarais attended the meeting to inform the Board that they are planning a cluster housing development off Dale Street.  West View Farms, LLC would like to change the proposed name of the development to Perham Woods.  The main road into this development was proposed to be Perham Road.  The names of the private common driveways are proposed as Hemlock, Beech, Birch and Alder Lanes.  Chairman Greene stated that his only concern was that there was a road close- by in Lyndeborough with that name.  They will look into the names of the streets to see if there is a Perham Road.  If there is not, the Board agreed that the name would be fine.  The next issue was that of impact fees.  After a discussion, it was agreed that they would pay $1,500 per unit.

4) Motion:  Selectman Donovan made a motion that the impact fee for the proposed cluster development off Dale Street developed by Steve Demarais be set at $1,500 per unit.  Selectman Rockwood seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

5) Chairman Greene adjourned the regular meeting at 7:40 PM and called a Non-Public session per a request from Chief Hautanen per RSA 91-A:3,II(a).  Chairman Greene called the regular meeting to order at 8:10 PM.

6) The Board reviewed a letter from the NH Department of Health and Human Services stating that Rise Smyth-Freed’s term as Health Officer will expire on July 20, 2007.

7) Motion:  Chairman Greene made a motion that Rise Smyth-Freed be appointed as Wilton’s Health Officer for a three year term.  Selectman Rockwood seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

8) Building Inspector William Condra informed the Board of a concern placed by an abutting property owner of a possible zoning violation.   A concrete structure was built at 614 Gibbons Highway and there is no record of a building permit.  It would be Mr. Condra’s recommendation that a zoning notice of violation be sent to the owner of this property.  This order should contain an order to remove, to obtain proper zoning approvals and planning board site plan review.  The Board agreed with this recommendation and approved a Cease and Desist be sent to the property owner.

9) A letter from Welfare Officer, Maria Brown requesting a returned check fee of $25 that was charged to Keith Frolkey be forgiven, was approved.

10)  Approval was given for the Wilton Circus Smirkus Show to hang a promotional banner on Main Street.

11)  The Board discussed the status of the PSNH petition and pole license.  Attorney Silas Little stated that he would like the town to verify that the 31 poles on Main Street that are listed on a license dated 2/3/1956 are still there.  The Board agreed that the Road Agent will be asked to verify that the list is current.

12) Selectman Donovan informed the Board that he has verified that the town has not adopted an ordinance establishing regulations governing the conditions and maintenance of properties in the Town of Wilton.  The Board agreed that such an ordinance should be placed on the Warrant next year.

13) The Board reviewed and approved several abatement reviews submitted by Todd Haywood.  Selectman Rockwood stated that he had issues with four of Todd’s assessments.  They were discussed and it was agreed that they would be held until Mr. Greene could discuss some of the issues with planning and zoning members.  The issues were that of frontage and the access to the properties.  Mr. Greene felt that if a piece of land is a lot of record that it becomes grandfathered for building.  Mr. Rockwood did not agree.  This issue will be continued until the next meeting.

14) Motion: Selectman Donovan made motion to nominate Rise Smythe-Freed as Health Office of the Town of Wilton for a term of three years.  Selectman Rockwood seconded the motion which passed unanimously.  A nomination form will be sent to the State Public Health Services in Concord.
