Pledge of Allegiance

Vice-Chair Evan Karpf declared a quorum and called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm.

Dave Scalley, Hunt, LLC, Map 207, Lot 036, Paquette Drive, Twin Mountain, was in for a minor revision to his subdivision plans. The Fire Chief, Jeff Duncan, had asked for an additional pull off and that had been added. The State had also asked for load calculations and that was also added. Vice Chair Evan Karpf said he had checked into it and they were minor changes and did not require another Public Hearing or notices. The original approval of the Major Subdivision for Hunt, LLC took place on April 7, 2011.

Bill Dowling made a motion to: approve the changes on the new mylar for the Major Subdivision, Hunt, LLC, Map 207, Lot 036, Twin Mountain, and to authorize the Vice Chair to to sign the mylar. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The Vice Chair went to correspondence.
• First was a Driveway Permit for the new bridge at the entrance of the Mount Washington Hotel. At the April 7th meeting the Site Plan Review of CNL Bretton Woods LLC, Mount Washington Hotel Entrance Replacement Bridge, was accepted with a condition that they would return to the PLBD at a future date with all the federal requirements and permitting, landscaping and exterior lighting. Evan Karpf had visited and viewed the site and was satisfied with the compliance. Erik Bergum made a motion: that the board is satisfied and found the new bridge entrance, of the Mount Washington Hotel, to be compliant with the Site Plan Review. Bill Dowling seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

• DES Amendment to Permit No. 039.20 BW Land Co., LLC thru Horizons engineering, requested a 2 year permit extension. It was granted. The new deadline for construction completion is May 5, 2013. A copy will be attached to minutes in the office.
• A letter and maps were sent to the town from US Dept. of Homeland Security, FEMA. They were the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Erik Bergum had gone to a meeting concerning them and said that there were not substantial changes pertaining to Carroll.
• A copy of the filing, from Gardner, Fulton & Waugh, the Town of Carroll’s Post-Trail Memorandum for the Town of Carroll PLBD v. William Rines. Also was the Respondent’s Closing Memorandum from Bruce Marshall, Attorney.

Mike Brunetti stated that on June 22nd an auction was held for the holdings of BW Land, which included the Club and the undeveloped properties. CNL was the highest bidder and the closing will be on Monday, August 8, 2011. They want to start the ground work of the transition to the new owners and the transfer of the surety bond for the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision. They would also like a letter from the board saying the subdivision is transferred.

Vice Chair Karpf said the Town requires the bond to stay enforced, changing names is fine. He then read RSA 674:39, V, found on page 536 of the NH Planning and Land Use Regulations, 2010-2011, that this regulation ensures that the decisions, findings and conditions would go to the new owner. But he said there is a time line involved and to be aware of that. He also said the town regulations allow for them to have a third party review at the owners expense. The town uses Provan & Lorber.

Next on the agenda was a Boundary Line Adjustment, presented by Burke York, York Land Services, for Steve and Joan Sweeney, Map 201, Lots 11 &12, 679 Route 115, Carroll, NH. The Vice Chair asked the secretary if the ads in the paper were placed, if the abutters were notified and if all fees were paid. The secretary confirmed all.

Bill Dowling made a motion to: accept the Boundary Line Adjustment for Steve and Joan Sweeney, Map 201, Lots 11 & 12. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Bill Dowling made a motion to: go into Public Hearing for the Boundary Line Adjustment for Steve and Joan Sweeney. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Burke York started by saying this was very simple. This boundary line adjustment changes the lot sizes and does not create a new lot.

There were no abutters or public present. There were also no questions from the board.

Sweeney, Map 201, Lots 11 & 12, 679 Route 115, Carroll, NH. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Evan Karpf had asked the secretary to make copies of the December 16, 2010 minutes. In those minutes was the approval of a minor subdivision for BW Land Co. LLC, for Map 211, Lots 20 & 20.2. It had recently been found out that BW did not record that mylar and did not believe they would. Vice Chair Karpf asked the secretary to get in writing from BW Land Co. that this is in fact true. If that is true the board would need to rescind that approval. He then asked about fees the town had incurred because of this. The secretary went on to say that Cartographics had already done the mapping for the town and the subdivision would show in the new mapping (as of April 1st). Cartographics would not automatically change them. They would need a deed first. She said the tax collector would like all registering of mylars to go thru the office so we will know they have been registered. Evan said the board can vote on that. Bill Dowling made a motion to: make a rule that all registry of Site Plans, Subdivisions and Boundary/Lot Line Adjustment’s are to thru the town office within 30 days. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Regulations to be addressed in September:
• Parking Spaces
• Definitions/ add “Utilities”
• Where ads are to be placed
• Formal Considerations/ Time Limits
• Driveway Regulations/Adopting Town of Chester’s & Amherst’s Driveway Regulations
He asked the board to read the PLBD Handbook that was recently handed out and read on the driveways. He said we need to get the power to the PLBD so driveways will not impact town roads.

Bill Dowling made a motion to: accept the minutes of June 2, 2011 as written. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Frank Maturo made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:50.
