MINUTES OF March 1, 2011 Hawkins asked if there were changes or corrections; there being none. | MOTION: | Janvrin | to accept the Minutes of March 1, 2011 as written. | | --- | --- | --- | | SECOND: | Moore | Approved: Unanimous
Abstained: Thibodeau | NEW BOARD MEMBER Hawkins congratulated newly elected member Dennis Sweeney and welcomed him to the Board CORRESPONDENCE/ANNOUNCEMENTS Case \#04-49 Mity Pink Dog Hawkins said that the Board had discussed the request of Jim Lyons of Mity Pink Dog to accept Almena Way at the last meeting. The Board decided to inform Lyons in writing that it would not consider recommending that Almena Way be accepted as a town road until the as-built had been provided. Morgan drafted the letter provided in the Board’s packet. Hawkins referenced the letter from the NH Department of Transportation informing the Town that if sidewalks are to be included in the Route 107 Bridge expansion, the Town would have to agree to maintain them. If the Town did not sign such an agreement by April 1, 2011, sidewalks would not be included in the bridge design. Hawkins said that at the March 1 meeting the Board discussed the issue of the State not wanting to take the responsibility for sidewalks on state roads. Morgan was asked to draft a letter to the NHDOT Commissioner disagreeing with the State’s position, and indicating that the State was creating significant safety issues. Hawkins noted that another issue was that if the town did do the plowing, the State would plow the snow right back on the sidewalk that was just cleared. Hawkins circulated the draft letter which still needed formatting. Kravitz understood that the Board of Selectmen would review the response the next day. If the BOS agreed, the letter would probably be sent on Town letterhead. Janvrin said he had raised this issue with a couple of Seabrook Representatives who said they would follow up at the State level. Kravitz said that Mr Carbone had also indicated that he would seek to raise this issue at the state level. Hawkins thought there couldn’t be enough voices on this issue. SECURITY REDUCTIONS OR EXTENSIONS There being none. PUBLIC HEARINGS Hawkins opened the Public Hearings at 6:45 PM. NEW CASES Case \# 11-06 - 239 Atlantic Avenue Realty Trust, Charles Daher, Jr., Trustee, to merge two lots pursuant to RSA 676:39-a. The subject property is located at 239 Atlantic Avenue, Tax Map 22, Lots 30 & 31. Hawkins asked if anyone was appearing for the applicant; but no one was at the meeting. Hawkins asked for questions or comments. Janvrin asked if there was anything on the site. Hawkins thought a house that split the lot had been torn down about a year ago. He thought after the lot merger, one house would be built. Thibodeau wanted it to be clear that the Board was not accepting a building proposal, but only approving the lot-line merger. Janvrin said that would fall under the Building Inspector. | MOTION: | Janvrin | to approve the lot-line merger only for Case \# 11-06 - 239 Atlantic Avenue Realty Trust, Charles Daher, Jr., Trustee, to merge two lots pursuant to RSA 676:39-a. The subject property is located at 239 Atlantic Avenue, Tax Map 22, Lots 30 & 31. | | --- | --- | --- | | SECOND: | Moore | Approved: Unanimous | Moore noted that if the lot-line was approved a building would fit.
