7:00 Business Meeting

1. Minutes were approved for Nov. 12, Nov. 27, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10.

2. We spent some time looking at our submission for the Wilton Town Report.

3. We are submitting a letter to the selectmen and the planning board concerning the ordinance for office parks being considered for adoption.  The land in question is prime agricultural and state important agriculture lands which should not be covered by building or asphalt.  Letter attached.

4. We received a request from Andrew Lefrancois addressed to the Selectmen that he be appointed as a member of the Wilton Conservation Commission.  We have a letter of support, which will also go to the Selectmen.

5.  A copy of a letter from the NHDES to Silas Little concerning the restoration project of the W McDonald Elm Street Trust at the Wilton dam site (DES Wetland File #97-1235).  Richard J. deSeve of the Water Division was looking for a follow-up report.  We believe this to be K-165 and will look for further information.

6. We have received complaints of a possible wetland violation on F-027.  A complaint form was completed and will be mailed to the Wetlands Bureau on 1/9/02.

7. We received a Forestry Notification for E-038 for Phil Heald.  This is in our file.

8. Doreece will contact Matt Higgins, our NRPC rep. to see about getting a topo map showing contour lines, wetland and ponds.

9. A meeting concerning the Carnival Hill project will be held on January 16 at the town hall at 7 PM.  This will be a progress report.

10. Andrew Lefrancois did a forest inventory on the land for sale near Carnival Hill (D-089 & D-089).  This information is in our file.

11. The next business meeting of the Wilton Conservation Commission will be held on February 11, 7 PM at the town hall.
 

Tracking Notes: Evidence of turkey, deer and moose continue to be seen in the  Russell Hill Rd. area.  A flock of 15 blue jays was also sited there.  We are noticing that the titmouse and chickadee populations seem to be back to normal.  Last year hardly any were seen.
