Vice Chair Evan Karpf declared a quorum and opened the meeting at 7:01.
• First on the agenda were the minutes of January 5, 2012. There were no corrections or changes. Ernie Temple made a motion to: approve the minutes as written. Donna Foster seconded and the motion passed with 5 ayes and 1 abstention because Ken Mills had not been at that meeting.
• Next on the agenda were the minutes of November 3, 2012. Evan had asked that a sentence be added to the minutes during the December meeting. The secretary had said she would be happy to as long as it had been said. She was to check the tape recorder again. Tonight the board saw what the secretary added “Evan asked Dave Scalley if he understood and agreed with that statement and he said yes.” The secretary told Evan that that was the sentence that was used and not the one he had asked for. Evan said that was fine and how he remembered. She brought the minutes for everyone to hear if they wanted and Evan said he had no problem. He said he did have a couple of corrections:
1. Page 3, 3.08 Formal Considerations; Time Limits, 8th sentence, change “Planning Board” to Planning Boards.
2. Page 5, 7. Driveway Construction Standards, change all “8.1, 8.2, etc”. to 7.1, 7.2, etc.
3. Page 5, 7.1 Driveways must be graded and have proper drainage to prevent runoff from a state, town or abutters right-of-way. Change “from” to to.
4. Page 5, “9.1 and 9.2” to 8.1 and 8.2.
Donna Foster made a motion to: approve the corrected minutes of November 3,
2011. Erik Bergum seconded and the motion passed with 4 ayes and 2 abstentions.
(Neither Ken Mills nor Ernie Temple were at the November 3rd meeting.)

Vice-Chair Karpf read correspondence from The State of New Hampshire Supreme Court on the Rines case. (A copy with be attached to the minutes in the office.)

The Vice-Chair introduced Ted Kupper from Provan and Lorber Engineering, representing the Town of Carroll, and Attorney Tom Watson form Wiggin & Nourie, representing CNL. He was before the board to relieve CNL from obligation to maintain a performance bond for Dartmouth Brook Subdivision until they are prepared to re-commence work at that site. Attorney Watson gave a brief background history and conditions on the Subdivision. He handed to the board a letter from Tyler Phillips, Horizons Engineering, giving his estimation of costs for the bond and conditions of the Subdivision that he can estimate as it is too difficult to got to the site and analysis it now. Ted Kuppr, gave the board a letter from Provan & Lorber in response to Tyler Phillips letter. They listed their concerns about Mr. Phillip’s letter and the estimate he gave. Mr. Kupper stated that although there were concerns, he felt both parties were working well together and were heading in the right direction. (The letters from Tyler Phillips and Ted Kupper will be attached to the minutes in the office.)

Conversations went around about:
• Temporary and permanent stabilization
• Send to board and Attorney Watson all permits given to Dartmouth Brook Subdivision at the time
• Board wants to know
1. What are we left with today?
2. What are we left with in 2014?
3. What are we left with for the future?
• Holding Public Hearing and notifying abutters
• Provide to the secretary any correspondence pertinent to their approvals now of the Subdivision (i.e. DOT, DES, etc.)

Evan Karpf made a motion to: recognize the Provan & Lorber as the engineering firm representing the Planning Board of the Town of Carroll, to authorize them to communicate between the parties (Horizon’s, Attorney Watson) in determining the outcome of the stabilization of the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision. Also to be included is the cost of the stabilization and a formal plan. Donna Foster seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Next is for the placement of the new driveway regulations:
Site Plan Regulations;
• Page 8, #14 add the word “driveways”
• Page 8, add “Driveway Standards” as #6
(be sure to change contents page and to renumber items after #6 to follow as #7 etc.)
Subdivision Regulations;
• Page 18, under 4.14, will become “Driveway Standards”
• Page 15, #9 & #10, remove the word “Engineer”

Erik Bergum was asked to go over the insurance policies of the Town for CIP. He hand over a pamphlet to the Vice-Chair. There is still work that needs to be done on this.

The board asked the secretary to call LGC and ask:
