The Selectmen viewed the three proposed highway garage sites at 5:00 with Chris Lizotte of Sheerr, McCrystal, and Palson. Mr. Lizotte will provide a proposal for site layout plans of the prospective sites.
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm following the site visits with Chairman Siranian, Selectman Thompson, and Selectman Levengood in attendance.
The Payroll and Accounts Payable manifests were signed. Chairman Siranian made a motion to have the weekly time sheets from each employee be attached to the payroll manifests. Seconded by Selectman Levengood.
Correspondence received was reviewed. The Board received a letter from the Bean’s regarding the assessment of their property on Stone Bridge Road. The Board will have the assessors review the file and the property.
The Board met with Harrison Hunt who was seeking information regarding the change in his eligibility for the veteran’s exemption. Selectman Levengood will meet with Mr. Hunt to review his paperwork and the requirements from the state.
The Board met with Road Agent Lee Ford to discuss the road repairs to be done in the Granite Road area. Work in this area will include the installation of a catch basin and 190 feet of pipe to divert run-off down the side of the road. Trees will also be cut and chipped in various areas to widen the road. Electric poles will need to be moved to accommodate the cutting. Mr. Ford has spoken with the co-op and will work with them to determine the new sites. The moving of the poles will be done at no charge to the town. Mr. Ford also indicated that some blasting would need to be done to widen areas as well. Mr. Ford will speak with Mr. Clough regarding the basin and tree cutting to be done on his land. Mr. Ford is also awaiting an estimate from Tom Woodger regarding this work.
The Board met with the Transfer Station Committee to discuss their recommendations for improvements at the existing transfer station. These recommendations also included a map showing a new lay-out of the site. The Board of Selectmen will review these suggestions and discuss them with Lee Ford in terms of implementing their solutions. The Board thanked the members of the group present for their work on this issue.
The Board met with May Jones in a non-pubic session, under motion made by Selectman Thompson per RSA 91-A:3. Seconded by Selectman Levengood. The Board met with May to discuss the transfer station lease.
After returning to public session (motion made by Selectman Thompson and seconded by Chairman Siranian), the Board met with Mr. Kimball regarding his building permit for the construction of an apartment in his unattached barn. Mr. Kimball related that he had been told conflicting information by both Administrative Assistant Rhonda Gauthier and Planning Board Chairman Fritz Giddings which caused him to incur $1500.00 in costs, believing that he would be able to obtain a building permit. After meeting with the Planning Board and being told that it was not within Wilmot’s zoning regulations, Mr. Kimball came to the Board with his permit. Chairman Siranian explained that this use was not allowed by the zoning ordinances and that the Board would therefore need to deny his permit. (Article XVII section III: Accessory
Dwelling Units: General Requirements for Attached Accessory Dwelling Units). His course of action with this denial would be to apply to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. Kimball will come in tomorrow morning to get the necessary paperwork for this filing.
The Board signed building permits for Ken Clarke (manufactured home on Eagle Pond Road), the Franklin’s (renovations to an existing structure on Rte 4A), and the Sheehy’s (replace deck on Village Road).
The Board also approved a letter to be sent to engineering firms requesting proposals for the Kearsarge Valley Road bridge.
Pistol permits were also signed. The Board signed the agreement and release for the building of a home on a private road in town.
The Board reviewed a letter from New Hampshire DOT regarding an “Application for Drive Permit” for Russell Lunt on Rte 4. The Board will contact Robert Eaton, Access Supervisor for District Two, and request a sixty day extension so that this may be reviewed by both the Selectmen and the Planning Board.
The Board will meet next on August 2, 2006 and again on August 23.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm.
