2. Subject: 8:15 p.m. Allan Oxman, Town Forester, came
in to discuss two matters with the Board.
The first concerned the Mirabella property on West Rd. Oxman informed the Board that he had stopped
by the Mirabella property after a complaint had been received about the
Mirabella’s cutting on the property without an intent to cut. Oxman stated that the Mirabella’s had
cleared brush, and were reclaiming pastureland. The amount of work done was below the limits that would need an
intent to cut. The second matter was a
review of the new State of NH recommendations for the assessment of Timber
Yield Taxes. Oxman showed the Board the
recommended worksheet for assessments and an example supplied by the
State. Oxman explained how he plans to
look at timber sales for assessment purposes.
The Board did not need to take action on this matter.
3. Subject: 8:25 p.m.
Vicki Mellon came before the Board to discuss what would be required to
hold a fundraiser “Road Race”. Ms.
Mellon explained that she would like to sponsor a 5K Run/Walk to benefit the
Brain Tumor Association. This road race
will be along the same route as the annual “Peanut Butter Chip Race” and would
be scheduled for Oct. 12, 2002, Columbus Day Weekend. The Board explained that a “Special Event” permit will be needed
and arrangements will need to be made with the Police Department. The Board will waive the regular fees for a
special event, but arrangements will need to be made for payment of Police
coverage. Ms. Mellon explained that the
Brain Tumor Association will help cover the costs of the Police Coverage.
4. Subject: 8:45 p.m. Jerry Pearson and Allyn Hendrixson
came in to discuss the proposed septic system for M 08 L 028-L. Pearson submitted a letter to the Board
regarding two lots on Maplewood Dr., Map 08 Lots, 028-H and 028-L. There was discussion of the proposed
placement of the septic system on lot 028-L.
Fiske did not think there was a problem with Lot 028-H.
Pearson asked the Board to contact the State of NH-DES and
the Town Health Officer regarding the septic system on lot
028-L. Frazier
explained that the Board of Selectmen is the enforcement board
not a
regulatory board.
Bruce Kullgren explained the requirements of a septic
design and what designer needs to look at during the design
process. Frazier
explained that if regulations are followed and approved and
the State of NH
issues a permit then a septic is legal. It was also explained that the Town
Health Officer, Pete Caswell, is required to view test
pits. After discussion
Pearson thought the best procedure would be to speak to
Caswell. Kantner
agreed to accompany Pearson to speak with Caswell. Frazier reiterated that
the Board of Selectmen is not a regulatory board. Allyn Hendrixson stated
the neighbors only want reassurance that there will be no
polluting of their
wells. Kantner thought
this point was well raised.
5. Subject: 9:30 p.m. Bruce Kullgren came in
representing the Planning Board.
Kullgren spoke about the June 5, 2002 Planning Board meeting and
Christopher Ross. There was discussion
about the signs located on the Ross property advertising the sale of the lots,
and the letter sent by the Board of Selectmen to Mr. Ross’ Real Estate
Agency. Kullgren also submitted a copy
of a letter sent from Rae Barnhisel to the Real Estate Agency. Kullgren informed the Selectmen that members
of the Planning Board thought the Barnhisel letter was improper, although
Barnhisel did not indicate she is a Planning Board member in the letter. Some Planning Board members present on
6/5/02 voted to request the Board of Selectmen look into this matter. There was discussion about the letters the
Board of Selectmen and Chairman Frazier had sent to Ms. Barnhisel. The Board of Selectmen informed Kullgren
that a letter of complaint had been responded to and the Selectmen had no
further jurisdiction in the matter.
Fiske then informed Kullgren that the Board of Selectmen would like the
Planning Board to come to the June 25, 2002 Selectmen’s meeting to discuss the
progress on the Master Plan.
6. Subject: 10:10 p.m. Other business: Fiske informed the Board that the ZBA needs
alternates and the Selectmen need to find at least two people; it was discussed
that this should be posted and possibly put into the newsletter. Fiske will call George Willard if there has
been no response to the Selectmen’s letter regarding the barn on the Willard
property by June 14, 2002. The
Administrative Assistant will compile the building permit stats on new
construction. Frazier will contact the
Health Officer regarding the number of septic approvals done. Fiske will contact Diane Nilsson about a
starting date and will speak to the Administrative Assistant scheduling for
Nilsson. Discussion of a letter from
Messina regarding E911 addresses for the cabins, this will be forwarded to
Attorney Drescher.

p.m. Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted by Debra
Harling, Administrative Assistant.
