PUBLIC HEARING - No hearing was scheduled.
New Business: Lois Pesanelli of
Home Business in Rural Ag. Inquiry - Ms. Mansouri reported receiving a call from Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan regarding their impending purchase of a property in the rural agricultural district. Mrs. Sullivan stated before they commit to the purchase, they would like to have permission to have a home business on the property. It is an internet business with no customers and only a few UPS deliveries/pick ups. Ms. Mansouri said she would report this to the Board and invited them to attend tonight’s meeting. Mrs. Sullivan said they could not attend the meeting. Ms. Mansouri suggested they come to one of the meetings in the future, held on the third Wednesday of every month. She explained to Mrs. Sullivan they would need to present her case to the full Board.
Zoning Matters Contact Person - Ms. Mansouri reported she has informed Teresa and Audrey in the Selectmen’s Office to refer all zoning calls/matters to her as Ms. Weber is unable to respond to inquiries immediately because she is not as available during regular business hours. Ms. Weber agreed, saying sometimes it takes up to four days for her to respond to an inquiry because of her very busy schedule.
Meeting Location - Ms.
Mansouri mentioned the Board bumped Chuck Bingaman and his planned
Old Businss: Gravel pits. Ch. Mansouri reported, she and Mr. Webb have begun filling out the forms for the gravel pit project. She said it was very tedious because much of the information was not collected in one place. They have gathered all the information pertaining to one pit and put in into one file. She said they have three types of forms: “permitted operation”, “abandoned excavation” and “excavation, identification and classification of grandfathered pits” they are working with. They are filling out the forms to bring the records up to date on the gravel pits they have. Mr. Webb added they should have the project accomplished in 2 more several hour afternoon sessions. He said they are plugging along at it. Ms. Weber said the Board all appreciates their work.
Horne Tool Shed update - Ch. Mansouri continuing with old business, she knew the Selectmen had seen the Horne’s regarding their toolshed non-compliance. She thought the Horne’s would be appearing before the Zoning Board but they have yet to contact the Board. Ch. Mansouri thought it appropriate to give them one more month grace period. Selectman Sawyer said he would ask if Ms. Moore had followed up with a letter to the Horne’s, if she hadn’t, he would ask her to.
Minutes: Ms. Weber asked to make a correction to page one under public hearing where she said “the structure and use both fall…….etc.” She asked to insert after the word use, of the proposed carport outside the existing building. She explained her intention was to show only the interior use was the grandfathered changed use. Ms. Leclerc-Galloway moved to accept the minutes as amended. It was seconded, the motion carried unanimously. Ms. Aslinger will correct the minutes and file the corrected copy in the minutes book.
Ch. Mansouri called for other business, being none adjourned
the meeting at 7:40pm. (next meeting March
21, 2007)
