Debra Huffman spent a few moments ensuring every member had their 8/4/03 draft of the Master Plan along with some new updates she was handing out.
Announcements: Tim Tenhave announced Bruce Moreau of the HW Department had not had an opportunity to do the large item cleanup. Bruce had assumed it had been too wet to do the cleanup in the past few weeks. Connie Kreider said some neighbors found more trash in the Sandpit. Jim Taylor announced his son and son’s friends are pulling some tires from the property. Jim is paying them to do this work with Roger Blais volunteering to take the tires to the landfill. Debra Huffman reported that Capt. Doyle has had Police patrols by ATV in May and June with the ATV being down in July. Debra mentioned that Capt. Doyle said the Police would continue to patrol but had not seen any illegal behavior.
Debra Huffman then lead the committee through a review the 8/4/03 draft of the Master Plan. She provided the committee with the smaller edits as each section was reviewed. The larger changes were part of the handout she provided to the members at the beginning of the meeting. Debra had the final copy in a clean form available during the review.
Debra moved through the updates quickly. Section 7 had PSNH easement requirements and EPA grant requirement additions that came from Jay Minkarah. Section 9 was restructured and sub-sections moved as requested previously. Section 10 now had the “Conclusion” agreed upon at the 8/4/03 meeting. Everyone read the new Conclusion section and were comfortable with the wording. The word “Town” was agreed to be capitalized throughout the document. Appendixes had minor changes with Greg Kirby suggesting sentence deletions in Appendix C. Greg mentioned we should add a “North Arrow” to our maps with some discussion on adding other landmarks to the maps. Due to the limited time, these changes were not incorporated. Appendix K was added to show the contents of the committee library kept in the Community Development conference room. Minor definition changes were discussed along with some new Geology references added to Appendix K.
The signature page was passed around for all members present to sign.
Debra Huffman thanked everyone for the fabulous job the full committee did. Nelson Disco applauded Debra for her leadership with all members joining in the applause. Jay was also recognized for his help with the committee along with the Community Development Staff. Nicholas and Chuck Miller were also acknowledged.
The July 21, 2003 minutes were approved as written. The August 4, 2003 minutes were approved with one minor change in the announcements.
The meeting adjourned just before 8pm.
