Walpole Planning Board

Walpole Town Hall

January 13, 2015 Minutes

Presiding Members: Jeffrey Miller (Chair), Robert Miller (Vice-Chair), James Aldrich, (Secretary), Kelley Hicks, Dennis Marcom.

Alternates: Edward Potter and Jeff White.

Absent:  Chas Street (Selectboard Representative), Jason Perron, Member.

Recording: Marilou Blaine. These minutes are unapproved and will be reviewed at the February 9, 2015, meeting for corrections, additions and/or omissions.

Meeting Opened: Mr. J. Miller, Chair, called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.

Roll Call: One board member was absent so Mr. Miller asked Alternate Mr. Potter to sit in his place.

Minutes: Mr. Aldrich made a motion to accept the November minutes as written. Mr. R. Miller seconded the motion and the board approved the motion.

Old Business: Public Hearing No. 1: Request for Lot Line Adjustment: Matthew Drew, LLC, of Richmond, N.H., was representing  Albert Fontaine Revocable Living Trust, who was requesting a Lot Line Adjustment at 37 North River Road. The property is listed under Town Tax Map 18, Lots 12 and 12-1 in the Residential B Zoning District. A board member made a motion to accept the application as complete and the board voted in the affirmative.

Mr. Drew said that Mr. Fontaine’s lot is No. 12 and he would like to transfer 4,631 square feet to Lot 12-1, owned by  Allen J. and Tiffany M. Parker. The Parkers are already using the land, Mr. Drew said, so Mr. Fontaine is selling it to them.

The total area of Map 18, Lot 12 before the adjustment was 41, 316 square feet or .95 acres. The total area of Map 18, Lot 12-1 before the adjustment was 51,793 square feet or 1.19 acres. After the adjustment, Lot 12 will be .84 acres and Lot 12-1 will be 1.3 acres.

After looking at the map, there were no questions from the board, so the public hearing was closed.

Public Hearing No. 2 Steven W. Brode Subdivision – one lot into two lots – Town Tax Map No. 7, Lot No. 22,  15 Macri Lane.

This was a rehearing of a previous decision the board made on the Steven W. Brode property in November 2014. Alternate Potter stepped down from voting on this hearing because he is the recipient of one of the pieces of property. Alternate Mr. White replaced him. Ms. Cindy Westover was representing Mr. Brode. The application was voted on and approved as complete.

Ms. Westover said that the state had trouble with this subdivision because of the grade, soil and also because the lot was being proposed as a non building lot. She said Mr. Ted Fellows has been working on this and test pits had been dug. There are now the provisions for a building lot regarding septic and well.

The state just had never had a request for approval of a lot that was less than five acres where the lot was going to be a non building lot, Ms. Westover said. She added that the buyer of the lot, Mr. Edward Potter, was to eventually going to add more land to the lot, but the state said “no.” The state said it had to have all the conditions that a building lot would have.

So now this is a full-fledged lot, Ms. Westover said. It is now 1.17 acres. The other lot is a full-fledged lot. There are provisions for wells, septic and there is correct road frontage for both lots. So the state has approved them as building lots .

The difference in this map and the previously approved map is the amount of land each lot has. The state wanted more acreage on the southern  lot, so the east to west boundary line between the two lots was moved over to make the lot 1.17 acres. It was exactly one acre before. The other lot was originally proposed to be 1.95 acres and now it is 1.78 acres.

One board member asked about frontage. Ms. Westover said one lot has 200 feet and the other 229.

The minimum is 200 feet.

Since there were no more questions, Mr. J. Miller closed the hearing.

Public Hearing Decisions: Mr. Aldrich made a motion to accept the Lot Line Adjustment for the Albert Fontaine property. It was seconded by Mr. R. Miller and all the board member voted “aye.”

Mr. J. Miller asked for a motion on the Brode subdivision. Mr. Aldrich made a motion to accept it. Mr. R. Miller seconded the motion and the subdivision was approved by the board.

Mr. R. Miller and Mr. J. Miller signed both Mylars. Mr. Drew and Ms. Westover gave the secretary checks to pay for registering the Mylars with the County Registry.

Mr. Miller asked about the notation about a Clarification on the agenda. The secretary answered that there were copies of some clarifications of the water ordinance that board members should pick up and  read.

Mr. Miller said that the board was working on the language for the water protection amendment and the introduction comes right from the RSA. He was going to check with the regional planning commission about notification requirements.

Mr. Miller also mentioned that there were a couple of members whose terms were ending so they had to go to the Town Clerk to re-up.

Mr. R. Miller said that since there was no upcoming work, we would skip the monthly workshop. A motion was made to not have the monthly workshop. It was seconded and approved by the board.

Mr. James Aldrich made a motion to adjourn. Mr. R. Miller seconded the motion and it was approved by the board.

Respectfully submitted,

Marilou Blaine

Secretary

Chas Street has announced his intention not to run again for the Selectboard.  He served on the Fall Mountain Regional School Board for a term and is finishing his term on the Selectboard.  With a house in Florida and a vacation spot on Lake Spofford, one can hardly blame him.  We all owe him a big thank you for the service he has provided our community.

While I am not looking or thanks as much as for good candidates, I want to also announce that I am not running for another term as your school board representative.  I have been on the School Board for the past six years and have enjoyed it very much but I’m not getting any younger. 

The people on the Board are a great group to work with and we have accomplished a lot these past few years.  The roof at the high school was fixed.  Pre-Kindergarten programs for four-year-olds are in all three attendance areas.  Every high school student has a notebook computer to enhance the high school programs.  We have a teacher contract that attracts the best and the brightest new teachers to our district and rewards those who continue their learning with advanced degrees.  The contract also recognizes and rewards teachers who receive National Teacher Certification (an arduous process that recognizes those who go well above and beyond the expectations).  School budgets hold the line on spending – although the decreases in state aid do cause taxes to go up.

We have two schools (Alstead Primary and Charlestown Primary) in the District that received Circle of Excellence Awards from the Commissioner of Education. Our School Board was recognized as School Board of the Year two years ago.  This year, the school district has a Middle School Principal of the Year for the State of New Hampshire (Paula Southard-Stevens) on our staff as well as two Teachers, Tammy Vittum and Lisa Mulhearn, who successfully completed the work to become National Teacher Certified.  If you don’t know these people I would also like to point out that Paula and Tammy both live here in Walpole and Lisa teachers math at Walpole Elementary School.

We have much more to be proud of but we need school board members to work with these good people to keep our school district moving forward.  I hope you will give serious consideration to filing for either Selectboard or School Board.  The work doesn’t get done without people who step up.  Filing opens January 21^st and closes on the 30^th.

If I can answer questions, please don’t hesitate to call.  I am also confident that Chas would be more than happy to answer questions as well.  We don’t want to leave it until the last minute and have a write-in candidate. – Lil

I have it on “good authority” that Paula Southard-Stevens, Principal of Charlestown Middle School and North Charlestown Community School is being introduced at a luncheon in Concord this noon as the New Hampshire Middle School Principal of the Year.  The honor is well deserved for this dedicated educator.  Fall Mountain School District is proud and if you see her I hope you will let her know that you are proud of her as well. – Lil

REBECCA SETHI – Friends of the Hooper – RE: Winter Carnival: Mrs. Sethi advised that a couple of years ago they established the Friends of the Hooper. She distributed copies of their proposed plans for the 2015 Winter Carnival with a proposed date of Saturday, February 28, 2015, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This event is sponsored by The Friends of Hooper Institute in collaboration with the Walpole Parent Teacher Group and Walpole’s 4H Clubs – Bits and Bridles and Pinnacleview. Additional potential collaborators are the Walpole Village School and the Walpole Recreation Department. She is not sure what they will do if there is not very much natural snow because the snow they received last year had road debris in it so it was not very usable. This will limit some of the activities. They would like to be able to skate on the pond. This year they are looking to focus more on the Institute side of the road as they would like to get more people into the Institute. They 4H groups will sell food in the wood shop. It is a great opportunity for organizations such as this to participate. People will make donations for the event but manpower is an issue. The Selectboard approved this proposal for the Winter Carnival and volunteered to help out. There are no plans to open up the Mansion.
