Campton Conservation Commission  Meeting Minutes For January 11, 2012

 

CCC Members Present:  Jules Doner, Jane Kellogg, Lea Stewart, Tammy Wooster

 

The Town Office meeting room was occupied at 7pm and so we met briefly in the space between the meeting room and the Town Clerk’s office. The January CCC meeting date was mistakenly written as the 18^th, not the 11^th on the meeting room calendar. Jules made a motion to approve the December meeting minutes and Tammy seconded the motion. All were in favor.

 

2012 Budget:  Lea reported that she and Jane presented the proposed 2012 CCC budget to the Select Board on January 9^th with a modest dues increase of $10.00 from last year.   Ann Marie had asked how much  from the 2011 budget will be returned to the General Fund and Lea reported the amount as $32.00.

 

The meeting adjourned from the other room and Marsh Morgan asked the CCC if they had a key to lock up. Melissa, who has the key, was not present so we had to leave so that Marsh could lock up.

 

The last few minutes focused on two items requiring action by the end of the month. Jane offered to begin drafting the 2011 annual report and will e-mail Melissa for last year’s template. Tammy will review the 2011 minutes and send Jane a list of noteworthy topics. Jane will contact Mary Durgin for an exact Conservation Fund dollar amount to report.

 

Jane proposed that we schedule a final work session to prepare for the Jan. 30^th Public Hearing. We will meet on Thurs., Jan 19^th; 7pm at the Town Office. Tammy wrote the date on the meeting room calendar. Lea will talk with the Pemi-Baker Land Trust to ask for a real example of a land deal that used Conservation Fund money from a town not named as the easement holder. All agreed that there was a possible example in Rumney.  Tammy will send an e-mail reminding all of the work session and also ask Melissa if she can forward her PowerPoint presentation if she can’t make the meeting.

 

Meeting adjourned: 7:48pm.

Next Meeting:  Wed., February 8^th 7pm

Next on the agenda, the Public Hearing on the Zoning Amendment, proposed by the Planning Board.

A Bed and Breakfast may rent more than four rooms only upon receipt of a Special Exception.

Next on the agenda, Jeff Andrews, regarding his property in Beebe River, had an inquiry about rebuilding a bay that has been damaged in the storm last year.  Jeff wanted to know if he could still use the approved Site Plan Review from Albert Nault. Stuart Pitts said that he would have to re-submit a new Site Plan Review.  Beebe River is zoned for related Wood Products business.  Chris Kelly said that he would have to go to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a Special Exception.  Chris also said that the Zoning Board meets on demand.  The board told Jeff Andrews that they would like to see business in Beebe River.  Tim Scanlon said that the Planning Board tries to encourage and help business with the process of Site Plan Review.
