Call To Order:  Mr. J. Miller called this Planning Board Workshop Session to order at 7:00 PM in the Walpole Town Hall Downstairs Office.  Two people were present in the audience.

Discussion on Creating a Non-Conforming Lot:  Mr. J. Miller talked with Attorney Jeremy Hockensmith regarding the creation of a non-conforming lot as discussed at the last PB meeting.  Attorney Hockensmith indicated that the PB could not give final approval to a subdivision until all conditions are met.  Conditions cannot be written on the plat.  The PB can give conditional approval to the subdivision but not final until the setbacks are met.  Then the subdivision can be recorded.

Excavation Tax and RSA 72-B:  Mr. J. Miller distributed copies of a draft amendment.  If everybody agrees they could move, during the June meeting, to have a Public Hearing in July.

Other Business:

For general information, Mr. R. Miller reminded the PB members that there is a 40,000 square foot cap on retail buildings in the Commercial District.  Mr. Aldrich added that they could apply for a Variance through the Zoning Board.

Adjournment:

Mr. Aldrich moved to adjourn this meeting.  Mr. Marcom seconded the motion.  With all in favor, the motion was approved at 7:14 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Regina Borden, Recording Secretary
