Meeting Minutes : Special Select Board Meeting and Public Hearing

August 25, 2010

The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM by Thomas “Hank” Pelkey, Chairman.

Select Board members present:  Thomas “Hank” Pelkey, Joseph Gagnon, Linda Weeden, and Allen Hitchcock.  Absent:  Thomas Hooker.   Also present:  John Weeden, Bruce Paynter, Anita Paynter, Amy Loomis, Don Nickless, John Haverstock, and Kelly Giard, Recording Secretary.

PRESENTATION OF REVISED INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE:

J. Haverstock explained that on July 21, 2010, the Select Board adopted an Interim Zoning Ordinance and there were some minor modifications requested by the public and others that were not minor.  Therefore, another Public Hearing was deemed necessary before adoption of a revised Interim Zoning Ordinance.

Amy Loomis explained these modifications to the Select Board for discussion.  At one point, there appeared to be a discrepancy between pagination between versions of the document being used by Amy Loomis on one hand and the Selectmen on the other.

Bruce Paynter applauded the work that has gone into these Zoning Ordinances.  Mr. Paynter asked for clarification of Section 1103, with regard to the Right of Way prohibition within the Village.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

None presented at this time.

CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF REVISED INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE:

Motion by T. Pelkey and seconded by L. Weeden to table the matter of adoption until clarification is made to some of the modifications that were discussed.  There was discussion that the copies that the Select Board received were not copies of the same document being used by Ms. Loomis. There will be clarification of this discrepancy.  Motion passed 4 – 0.

A. Hitchcock suggested that there should be a schedule to have this revised Interim Zoning Ordinance adopted.  J. Haverstock indicated that he will consult with Amy Loomis and Don Nickless and the matter will be on the Select Board agenda in the very near future.

OTHER BUSINESS:

None stated at this time.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

None necessary at this time.

The next regular meeting will be held on September 1, 2010.

The Special meeting adjourned at 6:49 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kelly Giard, Recording Secretary
