BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING

MINUTES

September 26, 2000

The meeting was opened by Selectman Nogues at 6PM. All Selectmen were present.

Mr. David Gagnon along with Mr. & Mrs Zalenski came to find out how the Board was progressing on the issues that they have with Mr. Azmy’s property. They were informed that 13 of the vehicles are registered and as far as the Selectmen are aware there is no law that limits how many registered vehicles can be on one property. The Board let them know that Mr. Azmy had been told that he could leave his sign up for the last two weeks of the season and that he must put in for a sign permit. He has also been given the paper work to fill out for a home occupation permit. The State requires a permit to change a property from a camp to year round living that he must comply with. The Board of Selectmen did give Mr. Azmy 60 days to get the permit application into the State. Selectman Brayshaw will check with the Conservation Commission to see if they have followed up on their letter to Mr. Azmy.

Mr. Dale Hisler, who has land locked property in Sutton came to see if the Board would have any problem with him building on his land in Sutton with an easement across Warner land. Selectman Nogues will contact the Selectmen in Sutton to see if they would allow a building permit. It was suggested that Mr. Hisler check with the State to see if they would grant a driveway permit where he wishes to get the easement. The Board will get back to him after the next meeting.

Fran and Tom Brayshaw came to speak to the Board concerning issues that they have with the ZBA. Selectman Brayshaw excused himself from the conversation.

They stated their concerns after which time Selectman Nogues thanked them for coming in.

David Hartman came to see the Selectman as the Town’s representative to Concord Regional Solid Waste Co-Op. The Town is over its allotted tonnage at the incinerator for the year which means we will be paying $75. a ton instead of $34. a ton. Warner needs to do better at recycling. All towns in the Co-op have reached the maximum amount of trash and this number is fixed for the next 8 years. Most years our increase in trash is around 1 %, this year we are already at 7.2%. Other options discussed are to make the people that use dumpsters pay both tipping and transportation, another option discussed is a pay per bag for all people. We will need more help at the transfer station to enforce the recycling ordinance.

Richard Cook was asked to come to the meeting because the Selectmen had received a request to build a four wheel vehicle trail system on the Fortin and Redmond property. From the Conservation Commission point of view this is not a good idea because of the erosion that is caused by these vehicles. This property abuts Contoocook’s drinking water supply. The Board agreed that this was not a good idea and made the motion to let the perspective buyer know that the Town opposed the idea. Selectman O’Connor made the motion, it was seconded by Selectman Brayshaw and the motion carried.

Selectman O’Connor made the motion to accept the minutes of the meeting of September 19^th, Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion and the motion carried.

Mr. Bob Egan came in to ask the Board of Selectmen for a letter of permission to serve food and beer outside under a tent on his property during FFF weekend. He would have tables and chairs and it would increase his capacity by about 28. The Board was made aware that Police Chief Chandler was not in favor of this proposal for safety reasons. Selectman O’Connor made the motion to approve the letter being written for the tent and serving of food and beer. Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion. The motion carried 2 to 1 Selectman Nogues opposed the motion.

Selectman O’Connor stated that the final plan was in place for checking the stickers at the Transfer Station. They made the decision to have a sign made and put up for the weekend.

The Selectmen discussed the moving of the Finance Director to the third floor of the Town Hall. The Selectmen will each bring in the floor plans with where they would like to see each employee located. The employees were also asked to fill in out a floor plan as to where they think they should be located. The discussion was continued until next week.

The Board received a request from Miss Fye for the minutes of the non-public session. These minutes were sealed at the end of the meeting on the 19^th. After consulting with NHMA, which stated that sealed minutes could not be given to anyone unless the minutes are unsealed.
