Planning Board Meeting Minutes – 6/11/24

Roll Call: Present Board Members: Chair Jeff Miller, Vice-Chair Dennis Marcom, Clerk Jason Perron, Jeff Harrington, Joanna Andros, Trevor MacLachlan, Select Board Representative Steve Dalessio and alternates Bill Carmody and Travis Adams.

Call to Order: Mr. Miller called the meeting to order at 7 pm. A full board was present so no alternates were needed to fill in.

Review of Minutes of May 2024: Mr. Dalessio made two corrections. He said on page one, paragraph seven about his call to Fire Chief Mark Houghton about the propane tank should be deleted because it wasn’t part of the meeting. Mr. Dalessio said the call was made before Mr. Marcom called the meeting to order. He also said Stevens Lane is a private road not a Class VI road. However, both private and Class VI roads need a recommendation from the Planning Board for a waiver in order to build on either of these types of roads. Mr. Harrington said his name was misspelled on page one, paragraph three. Mr. Miller asked for a motion to approve the amended minutes. Mr. Marcom made the motion. Mr. Perron seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. 

Topic for this evening was the Master Plan: Mr. Miller said that it’s time to have public hearings for the sections of the Master Plan that have been completed. So he suggested that in July the Board have a public hearing for Land Analysis and Population and Housing Analysis sections. The Board members will get hard copies of these sections and several copies of these two sections will be available at the Town Offices for the public to peruse the public hearing on July 9 meeting. 

An article about restricting formula businesses in the Village District was passed out to the Board members. Mr. Miller said the language came from a Town of Jaffrey ordinance. In a month or two the Board will have a hearing about placing it on the warrant.

Mr. Perron made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Marcom seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. The time was 7:25 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Marilou Blaine

WPB Secretary
