    1. Kullgren read a letter from the New Ipswich Planning Board regarding a public hearing on 1/29/2003 for a two-lot subdivision on Boynton Road in New Ipswich.  The lot borders the Temple town line.  No board member was able to attend the New Ipswich hearing.

     

    1. Tim Fiske, Road Agent, came in to review class VI and class V roads with the Board.  T. Fiske and the Board reviewed the draft maps.  Changes were made to the “Traffic Counter Location” map.  The class VI roads were marked in purple highlighter and abandoned roads, which need to be removed from the maps were marked with green highlighter.

    1. Wil Wildes, Fire Chief, came in to discuss the International Building Code.  Kullgren mentioned the public notice put into the paper regarding a public hearing on the building code scheduled for 2/3/03.  Kullgren requested that it be noted in the minutes that the Planning Board had not taken a vote on presenting or backing the proposal for a building code at the 1/15/03 meeting.  Kullgren then stated he had spoken to the NHMA regarding the posting of this hearing and, in his opinion, based on the information he had received the legality of the hearing may be questionable.  Fiske read RSA 675:3 regarding the method of enactment for the building code and explained that the Selectmen had met with Attorney Drescher regarding this issue.  Due to the time constraints Attorney Drescher had written the public notice.  There was discussion of whether there should be a public hearing and whether the Planning Board members should show up.  Kullgren asked if any of the Planning Board members had any questions of Wildes concerning the building code.  Wildes described the electrical, fire & plumbing codes that he enforces at the present time.  Move by Fiske that the Planning Board vote on whether or not to support the adoption of the building code, no second.  Moved by Pickman, second by Connolly for a show of hands regarding the holding of the public hearing.  The show of hands determined 3 for holding the public hearing 4 against holding the public hearing.  Kullgren requested a notice be posted that there would be no public hearing.

     

    1. Kullgren informed the Board that he had been asked if the Board would clarify the intent to Article IV Section 7 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding attached accessory apartments.  There was discussion of whether an accessory apartment could be attached to the opposite side of an attached garage and still qualify under the zoning ordinance.  The Board clarified that the intent of this section is to allow up to 30% of the square footage of the primary residence to be expanded for an accessory apartment, as long as the accessory apartment is a part of the footprint of the original residence.

     

    1. Fiske showed the Board members a copy of the 10-year plan that the Board of Selectmen had put together.  Fiske asked the Planning Board members to let the Board of Selectmen know if they had any questions or comments.
