Waiting for special exception and variance from Zoning Board. Hearing on October 21, 2015.

New Business:

Amend Site Plan – Potato Barn The plan is to split the connector and the main barn into two permits as the connector is going to be ready for occupancy by the end of the year and the barn will be under renovation for some time after that which will be largely determined by whatever time it takes to find a tenant and complete their required fit-up. So the change from the 2012 permit would include             removing 24’ of the connector where it attaches to the barn so an occupancy permit can be granted and the building be occupied. The barn would remain as a stand-alone permit which would get a new application once a tenant commits to the space and the end use is known.

Subdivision – North Walpole – Joanne Gay, Cray Road.

Next meeting  Nov. 10, 2015 Cc: PB, Town Offices, Walpolean. Minutes posted: Town Hall Lobby, Outside bulletin board of Walpole Grocery, http://www.walpolenh.us

    I cannot emphasize enough the importance of attending this Planning Board meeting if you have any thoughts or reservations about what Ruggerio is proposing to do to Walpole. We’ve all read about the issue here in The Walpolean, in The Clarion and in the Keene Sentinel; yet this is NOT a “done deal”. Ruggerio will be very well represented at this meeting, especially by their attorney, who will no doubt “object” to everything anyone has to say in opposition to this ill-conceived project. Yet our town is not on trial here! Let’s show Ruggerio (and the Planning Board) that we, as a town, can represent ourselves and our best interests just as well as they can. All you need to do is show up. Thank you.
