Mr. Michael Farris, representing Two M Construction requested a bond reduction from the Board, which had been previously denied. The request was denied because the plan called for a retaining wall, which had not been built. Mr. Farris explained that the hill requiring a retaining had been removed per a discussion with former Interim Planning Director Clay Mitchell, and through agreement with the neighbor. He said that former Planning Director Amy Alexander confirmed that removing the hill was probably the right thing to do. Mr. Culbert said that the plan still showed the retaining wall and that 100ft. of paved area. Mr. D'Andrea said that an as-built plan had been received which showed the extension, but the portion of the right-of-way was not included. He said there was also an as-built that showed the profiles of the road. Mr. Scanzani said that the right-of-way may be used to further a road and suggested that the Board find out the status.
Ms. Ouellette arrived.
Mr. Farris said that Ms. Alexander said if the road was removed, the road would not need to be paved. He said the road had gravel and was ready to be paved, if the Board preferred. Mr. D'Andrea said that the plan didn't show the typical subdivision layout. Mr. Culbert said a set of plans that showed the current situation should be submitted. Mr. D'Andrea agreed that the removed hill 'worked', but was unsure what the drainage situation was. Mr. Farris asked for guidance from the Board. Mr. Scanzani suggested that the Board walk the site. The Board concurred. Mr. Culbert reiterated that an updated set of plans should be submitted.

Mr. Tom Murray, New American Homes met with the Board to discuss the request for bond reduction. He informed that during the reduction of the bond from $284,000 to $198,000 an error occurred and an increase of $5209 was needed. He said he agreed with Mr. D'Andrea to increase the bond. Mr. Culbert asked Mr. Murray to work with Mr. D'Andrea regarding the increase of funds.
Map 10
Mr. Tom Murray, New American Homes met with the Board to discuss the request for bond reduction. He said that phase III was near completion, except for a question regarding the drainage. He said the current bond being held was $100,000 and said that $60,325 could be released, which would retain $39,675 (the amount included drainage).
Mr. Culbert asked if the
In Mr. Scanzani's opinion the bond should not be reduced
until the following issues were resolved: 1) DES questions regarding drainage
pipe; 2) reason for siltation pond location and why drainage was not tied-in to
Island Pond Road as stated as part of conditional approval of plan; 3)
correction of Currier Road/Island Pond Road intersection and turning radius so
traffic does not go into on-coming traffic when turning the corner. There was a brief explanation regarding the
intersection. Mr. D'Andrea's
recollection was that the Board gave approval according to the recommendations
provided during the on-site meeting (as discussed by Mr. Murray), at which time
an as-built plan was submitted that showed it complied with the agreed upon
plan. Mr. Scanzani said that the road
was not built to spec and felt the current Town Engineer should review the
site. He reiterated his feeling that the
bond should not be reduced until the state issues were addressed. Mr. D'Andrea said the meeting with DES would
have to be rescheduled. Mr. Murray
wanted the Board to be clear that the subdivision was built per the plan. He believed that two detention basins were
added after-the-fact, when DES reviewed the site. He noted that the current detention basin had
been in for over a year with no problems.
He didn't feel that DES would review the site and request that the detention
basin be altered and tied in to the detention basin below
There was a discussion regarding the bond amount and what
would be needed to complete work. Mr.
Murray noted that the only work remaining was 185ft. of drainage, which was not
located on the newly paved roads. Mr.
Scanzani was unsure if there were any utilities in the way. Mr. Murray said the cost of the remaining
work was approximately $9000 and reiterated that in the spring, he would

Mr. Scanzani informed that the original bond was $67,000; the current amount was $20,100; TFMoran recommended a reduction of $13,400 which would retain $6700. Mr. D'Andrea had no comments regarding the proposed reduction.

Mr. Dave Brouillet of Herbert Associates, representing the
applicant met with the Board to discuss the proposed plan. He said the original application showed a
connecting road from
Mr. Scanzani felt that the Louis-Berger Group provided a good Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA). He suggested that the lots be site-specific due to the sensitivity of the parcel so that the building envelopes on each lot would be limited. Mr. Brouillet said he did not have a problem providing the Board with a site specific layout for the current/revised plan, if it were desired.
Mr. Culbert said at a previous meeting there was a discussion regarding recently disturbed land and recalled being told if those areas were corrected, some of the water problems may be alleviated.
Mr. Jim Gove, Gove Environmental reviewed the plan and pointed out the areas that contained old fill, or had been excavated in the past. He then showed an area that had old fill in an area that had regenerated itself as a wetland. He said the activity of the beavers had helped dam some of the area. He said because the area was going to be deeded to the Town the area would be better served if it were left alone. Mr. Culbert wanted to know if some of the current water flow would be eased if the old fill was removed from the 'knob' portion of the parcel. Mr. Gove said the water flow may be somewhat helped, but because the area had regenerated itself, it may be best to leave it alone. Mr. Yarmo didn't feel that removing the old fill would do very much because of the beaver dam located to the north of the area.
Mr. Lynde wanted to know if the EIA was done for the current/revised plan. Mr. Brouillet said the EIA done by Louis-Berger Group was in connection with the old plan (presented at a prior meeting). Mr. Scanzani felt it was important to ensure that siltation from the lots didn't make it to the wetland. He was in favor of using mulch burms, rather than silt fencing. He also wanted to limit the building envelope on each lot.
Mr. McNamara wanted to know the length of cul-de-sac. Mr. Brouillet said the cul-de-sac was 2800ft.
Ms. Bousa said she was a proponent for the cul-de-sac regulation, but felt that the proposed plan was a suitable compromise based upon the case history of the parcel. She noted that the parcel had been turned down as a single building lot. Mr. McNamara said the denial of the parcel was currently being appealed. Mr. Lynde didn't feel that the Planning Board should be held accountable for another board's decision. Mr. Scanzani said he had previously stated that the best thing for the lot was to purchase the parcel as conservation land. Mr. Yarmo was in favor of the proposed plan because he felt it was good for the developer and the land, and was a good compromise.
Mr. William Hayes,
Mr. Rich Liardo,
Ms. Dana Ventolieri,
Mr. Lynde appreciated the efforts of the applicant, but felt
a precedent with regard to cul-de-sac length would be set if the proposed plan
were approved. He said the revised plan
was better than the original, but still didn't meet the regulations. He felt the parcel should be allowed as a
single house lot. Mr. Yarmo believed the
developer indicated that the road could be constructed to meet the subdivision
regulations, which he felt would have a detrimental impact on the environment. He felt those circumstances made it worthy to
grant a waiver. Mr. Lynde didn't feel
the plan could be approved with the connection because
The Board discussed the previous plan as well as the proposed/revised plan.
Mr. Scanzani began to make a motion; Mr. D'Andrea informed that the proposed/revised plan had not gone through review by the Town's Engineer. Mr. Scanzani suggested that the Board make a decision regarding the waiver for the cul-de-sac length.
Mr. Culbert discussed the parcels of land that would
possibly be land-locked. Mr. Scanzani
recalled if Mr. Hayes maintained his right-of-way, Mr. Hayes would in turn
grant a right-of-way to the Nietupski Brother's parcel. Mr. Hayes said that he would work something
out with Mr. Nietupski since they were friends.
He then discussed the parcel and said his right-of-way went up to
A waiver for the cul-de-sac length was submitted to the Board.
(Scanzani/Bousa) To accept, for consideration, a waiver of the 2400ft. cul-de-sac length regulation to 2900ft.
Mr. McNamara explained that he voted no because there was ample documentation that a wetland crossing in this area would be horrible, given the proximity to critical wetlands. He didn't feel that there had to be an alternative. He said that the cul-de-sac regulations had been changed so that waivers didn't have to be granted as they had been in the past. He believed this was the first time a waiver had come in since the regulations were changed. He also didn't feel that there was a compelling reason brought forth to justify granting a waiver for the cul-de-sac length.
Mr. Lynde reiterated the reasons that the two (2) submitted
plans should be denied; such as, they don't meet the Subdivision Regulations (cul-de-sac),
second egress not feasible to through traffic onto
(Lynde/McNamara) To deny the two (2) plans that had been submitted/presented to the Board.

Mr. Dave Brouillet, Herbert Associates presented the plan to the Board. He said there was nothing new being presented, except that the plan had been reviewed by the Conservation Commission.
Mr. Yarmo said a memo had not been written by the Conservation Commission. It was his understanding that the plan would be coming back for review to the Conservation Commission for another meeting. Mr. Brouillet said that the plan was going to be re-reviewed regarding mitigation.
Mr. Jim Gove, Gove Environmental said the plan would be going back to the Conservation Commission for review to show more detail of the crossing and the flood plane. Once that meeting occurred, he believed the Conservation Commission would then submit a memo to the Planning Board.
Mr. Lynde asked if there was any impediment regarding the flood plane area. Mr. Brouillet said that the culvert was proposed to be oversized so that it would be larger than anything located upstream. It was the design intent that there would be no water backup due to the culvert. Mr. Lynde asked if there would be water backup in the event of a one hundred-year flood. Mr. Gove said any increased flow would go through the box culverts.
It was noted that the plan would be reviewed by the
Conservation Commission in February. The
plan was date specified to the Planning Board's
Map 11 Lot 93 – Cormier & Saurman Building, LLC – Dutton Road – Proposed Elderly Complex for Site Plan Review and Seeking Special Permit for Wetland Crossing for continued consideration
Ms. Ouellette and Mr. Lynde stepped down. Mr. Culbert said because of the attorney involvement with the case, he requested Town Counsel to be present for the proceedings.
Attorney Paul DeCarolis submitted a copy of a letter forwarded to the Board which requested that Mr. Yarmo consider recusing himself. The request was based upon Mr. Yarmo being the Chairman of the Conservation Commission whose partnership with the Little Island Pond Association is involved with the preservation and conservation of land in the area of the proposed plan. Attorney DeCarolis also noted that the Little Island Pond Association was the primary opponent to the proposed plan. He reiterated his request for Mr. Yarmo to consider recusing himself. He said by statute, the standard of a member was disqualified if they didn't meet the juror standard as cited in the Planning Regulations (RSA 674). He said the juror, or in this case the planning board member, should be recused if they were not indifferent. Attorney DeCarolis said there was some concern, given all the work the Conservation Commission had done with the watershed association (Little Island Pond Association).
Mr. Yarmo didn't feel he had a conflict and was able to judge a project on its merits.
Mr. Scanzani didn't feel that Mr. Yarmo's integrity was being questioned by the applicant, or the Board. It was pointed out that the Board would not have a quorum if Mr. Yarmo recused himself. Mr. Yarmo noted that the Little Island Pond Watershed Association had nothing to do with the Conservation Commission. He said there hadn't been much communication between the two regarding the proposed plan. The issue of conflict had not been brought up at the Conservation Commission meeting. Mr. Yarmo reiterated that he had no conflict. Mr. McNamara said the issue was not if Mr. Yarmo could judge the case impartially, but if there was appearance of a conflict; he used the example of Mr. Yarmo being seated as a juror (during a trial) and if a judge felt Mr. Yarmo appeared to be impartial. Mr. McNamara also believed that this issue should have been brought up in the past. After further discussion, the applicant said they would approve an extension; Mr. Scanzani made the following motion:
(Scanzani/McNamara) To continue the plan until the next scheduled meeting.
(4 - 1 - 2) The motion carries. Mr. Yarmo voted no. Ms. Ouellette and Mr. Lynde previously stepped down.
After brief discussion with members of the public, Mr. Culbert said the statutes would be further reviewed.
The plan was date specified to the Planning Board's
Ms. Ouellette and Mr. Lynde returned to the Board.

Attorney Paul DeCarolis, representing the applicant provided the Board with a brief introduction. He said the primary issue for the Board was the driveway. One proposal was a common driveway, which sometimes created issues, but in this case the Town Ordinance required a waiver of any liability of the Town. He said he also prepared a common access declaration which stated that the owners would share equally all maintenance of the driveway, the driveway must be kept open for each other, all emergency vehicles must have access as well as access for Raymond Park. He said Mr. Detellis would be solely responsible for construction of the driveway. Attorney DeCarolis said that the Town didn't have regulations regarding the grade for driveways. He submitted photographs of different streets and driveways that ranged between 12% and 21% grade. He said the proposal was for the driveway to be at 10% grade, which was not unusual or excessive.
Mr. Dave Brouillet, Herbert Associates presented the plan to the Board. He said during the previous Board meeting there was concern regarding the shared driveway, slope and width. He brought two (2) proposals for the Board to review. The first proposal showed two separate driveways with 18ft. width and a 10% grade. The second proposal showed a common drive at the egress (to minimize the wetland crossing), which split to two (2) separate driveways with a 10% grade. Notes had been added to the details for check dams and driveway-side ditches (1ft. depth) and erosion control measures (mulch burms). Mr. Brouillet asked for the Board's preference of plans so they could meet with Dufresne-Henry (Town Engineer) to review the plan.
Mr. Peter Zohdi, Herbert Associates said the client preferred the shared driveway. He went on to discuss the emergency access that the applicant would provide to the Town for Raymond Park. He reiterated that the Town had no regulations regarding driveway length, or slope. He also noted that the applicant wanted to use the view of the property which the shared driveway would provide.
Mr. Brouillet referenced a letter dated
Mr. D'Andrea discussed the proposed plans and suggested that the Board ensure that a safe, all-season driveway access to the 15,000 SF area be provided.
Mr. Scanzani asked for the Fire Chief to submit a letter that clarifies the issues of the proposed plan. He said he wasn't usually comfortable with shared driveways, but was more comfortable with the shared driveway since the applicant would be signing, submitting and recording a letter at the Registry of Deeds the waiver of liability letter. He wanted to review the drainage. Mr. Scanzani asked if there were going to be flat areas of the driveway.
Mr. Culbert said no one had ever come in with a contract for a shared driveway and wanted to ensure that the maintenance contract was a part of the deed and would be transferred upon sale. He asked that something be added (similar to a cut) to the driveway for better access during inclement weather.
Mr. McNamara had concern with the grade and length of the driveway. He felt the Board should consider the future of the lot (when sold by the applicant). He wanted to ensure that during construction there was not a lot of disruption, which could cause problems with mud and run-off.
Ms. Ouellette said one of her concerns was that there was no flat platform of the driveway at the intersection of the roadway.
Mr. Yarmo said the Conservation Commission wanted to review the construction sequencing plan, and they wanted the drainage swale out of the WCD, which they wanted the Town Engineer to review.
Mr. Lynde wanted Dufresne-Henry's comments addressed.
Mr. Culbert wanted the driveway to be functional and include areas for stopping and turning around.
Mr. Zohdi asked for latitude to discuss the driveway grade with the Fire Chief and Mr. D'Andrea. He discussed alterations that could be made to the driveway that would address the concerns stated by the Board. Mr. Culbert suggested that a parking area be included part way up on the driveway in the event of inclement weather. Mr. Scanzani reiterated that the safety, drainage and runoff should be addressed. Mr. Zohdi asked permission to work with Mr. D'Andrea, the Fire Chief and the Town's Engineer for review of the plan, which could then be further reviewed by the Board at the next meeting.
Ms. Ouellette wanted to know how binding the maintenance declaration would be. Attorney DeCarolis said a note would be added to the plan stating that the approval was made subject to the declaration of easement being recorded at the Registry of Deeds. He said the declaration was perpetual and would run with the land, there would be no avenue for termination included. Mr. Yarmo asked if the Town would be held harmless. Attorney DeCarolis answered yes and noted that it was required.
Mr. Zohdi said he would work with Dufresne-Henry to address the concerns and the drainage.
Mr. William Hayes, on behalf of the Town as an abutter, was in favor of the shared driveway based upon the Fire Chief's input and the access to Raymond Park. He preferred a cistern versus a sprinkler also based upon the Fire Chief's comments.
Ms. Sharon Jozokos, potential property owner (lower lot) said she was in favor of the proposed plan. She was raised in Town and wanted her family to have the same opportunity. She noted that she would allow Mr. Detellis to park in her driveway if he needed to during inclement weather.
Mr. Culbert said the Board would like the applicant to further review the shared driveway option including the safety standards. Mr. Scanzani recommended that the Fire Chief provide further comment regarding the plan. Mr. Culbert asked that the applicant meet with Dufresne-Henry to further review the plan.
The plan was date specified to the Planning Board's
Zoning Amendments
Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinances. The first was a clarification of what frontage should be. He read aloud the proposed language. There was discussion regarding the inclusion of the word 'contiguous'. There was further discussion regarding the access for lots and how the language should be worded so it would not conflict with the definition section. The Board agreed that the words 'and shall be capable of providing access to the lot' shall be deleted to help end confusion.
The second proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinances was to strike the word 'favorable' when accepting comments from the Conservation Commission since they are advisory to the Planning Board. The word 'favorable' would technically make the Conservation Commission a regulatory board, which in Pelham it is not. The Board agreed that the word 'favorable' to be removed.
The third proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinances was to update the criteria language to reflect current cases in the law (specifically the Simplex case which changed the criteria for hardship).
Mr. Culbert informed that the Planning Board would
officially vote on
(Scanzani/Ouellette) To move (accept) the proposed Zoning Amendments 2004 Town Meeting Draft of December 15, 2003 for the January 15, 2004 meeting.

The Falcons lost 11-2 and 19-0 to Santa Fe Trail.
West Franklin's offense got cranking against Northern Heights. Bailey Shaffer had five hits, including two doubles and five RBIs. Charley Fine, Alexis Yelland and Brittany Crump had four hits and two RBIs each.
"It was nice to see both our defense and our hitting come together," Falcon coach Michelle Bowman said. "We started off a little shaky in the first game but were able to focus and get the win."
Micayla Campfield and Sierra Jones combined for the win in the first game. Jones got the win in the nightcap.
The Falcons had trouble generating much against Santa Fe Trail.
"We need to learn to play consistently and with the same intensity we had during the Northern Heights doubleheader," Bowman said. Brittany Shaffer came in as a runner and played with a lot of determination and was aggressive getting herself into scoring position. It was unfortunate that we were unable to score."
Fine had three hits and Brittany Shaffer had three stolen bases.

Cover Girl – Rosie – Issue 131
Cover Girl – Rosie – Issue 131
Name: Rosie
Age: 19
Occupation: Sales Coordinator
Hi Rosie, how's the shoot going for you so far?
It's been a long day, but it's good fun!
Shite, you are tiny! You do all your shopping at Pumpkin Patch?
Ha! No no, I'm a Supre sort of girl. Fair enough, I'll stop being a ball bag now.
So where are you from?
Whangarei of course — born and bred! I just drove down here for the day.
So you road-tripped it down just for the photo shoot today, then? Commitment — I like it. What is Whangas like?
Well, you really have to make your own fun in Whangarei. There really is no night life to speak of, so it's all house parties or bonfires down on the beach. Everybody knows everybody, which can be a good thing and a bad thing.
Do you come down here to the big smoke very often to get away from it all?
Yeah, we come down a bit to see friends and hit the town. I think I'll either move to Auckland or perhaps the Gold Coast soon. Whangarei is great and all that, but there is so much more out there I want to do and see.
Ah, that old chestnut, small town girl goes to the big city. So partying aside, what do you like to do for fun?
The beach! In summer that is basically all we do, just go to the beach every spare moment we have. It's a good life!
So being from those parts you probably know all the local drifters like Justin Rood, JT, Gaz and Fanga.
Yep, I know them all. I also do promo work at the drifting rounds and got a spot in the Drift Corp calendar this year, so I know them pretty well.
How do you find promo work? Does it ever bother you that you are being paid to be ogled at?
No, that sort of thing doesn't bother me in the slightest; I don't even notice. Promo work is great fun; the one downside can be the cold though. Very little clothing combined with freezing temperatures makes for a very unhappy Rosie. But I guess that's what we get paid for, so you just have to suck it up and get on with the job.
Awesome, thanks for your time Rosie.
All good guys, thanks!

Startup Stories: Breathing New Life into a State Magazine
The principals spent two years creating a business plan, tearing down each version and then building it back up. "We spent two years prior to that researching regional magazines;those that did well like Our State and Down East in Maine, and those that didn't," says Patrell.
Great State bucked advice it received from the International Regional Magazine Association (IRMA) on when to launch. "The general consensus was we'd be crazy to launch this magazine in January," says Patrell. "We gave second thoughts to it but came to decisions that this was what we promised people."
The publisher did apply IRMA's advice on using the magazine as a drop mail piece. "Each time the magazine comes out, we're mailing;when we started, it was about 30,000, now it's about 20,000;free issues to our target audience," says Patrell. "Originally we were going to send three free issues of the magazine but [Cottage Life publisher] Al Zikovitz told us don't do that;you'll train them to expect it for free. With every new issue that comes out, we get about 1,000 to 1,600 new subscribers."
Maryland Life has also had success with grassroots marketing, appearing at regional events from art festivals to the Preakness that attract its target audience of older, affluent women. Instead of one big launch party, the magazine hosted 10 different parties around the state;ranging from breakfasts to cocktail receptions to picnics and wine tastings. "Before the first issue came out, we had 2,000 subscribers already," says Runkles. "We don't have a huge number of paid subs, we have to go out and get them. We may go to some fairs and get 350 subs, and at others, only seven." The magazine has also culled an advisory board of community leaders who contribute story ideas and marketing opportunities.
About 8,000 copies of the magazine are distributed on the newsstand, with sell-through averaging 38 percent.
While Peddicord refuses to disclose ad revenue, the original business plan called for 128 pages per issue, and Maryland Life is averaging 144 to 160 pages per issue with a 40 percent ad ratio. Peddicord is considering joining a consortium with other regional magazines to try to woo national advertisers with package buys.
Great State expects Maryland Life to be profitable within three years. "The biggest challenge was getting people to take us seriously," says Patrell. "They always say, ďľ'we want to see the magazine first.' Okay, here's six well-received issues. The next biggest challenge is growing sensibly;we need to look at partnerships that make sense for the company."
Be Skeptical
ďľ• The principals at Great State Publishing built and tore down the business plan for Maryland Life for over two years before they felt ready to launch.
Don't Underestimate the Power of Grassroots Marketing
ďľ• The appearance of Maryland Life at key regional events;including the Preakness;put the magazine on the map for its target audience.
Assign a Specific Role to Each Leader in a Startup
ďľ• Great State divided responsibilities up between principals that play to their strengths but let them continue to work closely together.
