Claire James motion to approve, Garrett Bauer 2nd.

Motion to approve signs. All in favor.

Gravel Pit Update:

2 of 3 completed. Brooks McCandlish from the Zoning Board, Bob and Claire went to 2 pits…Peter Isham and Bruce.

Bruce Edwards – Bruce’s pit went through checklist of 23 items. Up-to-date on everything, certificate posted on site. Most recent date of removal was that day. 5,000-6,000 yards out last year.

Two state conditions to be met need to be verified, Claire will follow up.

Tree stumps and logs hanging around. Disposal site on property for burring, need to check site plan.

$10,000 bond to reclaim property. Bruce is all set.

Peter Isham – no documents posted (tax or permit), he is planning to do this Monday. Need to follow up. No activity, no excavation last year. Exposed ledge, two areas slopped very steep. $7-8,000 is on bond but it may take $50-60,000 to reclaim property. Filing an intent this year. Has two years from last excavation to begin reclamation process. Last removal date was Sept/Oct 2015 by guess, no records. Sugar River Bank posted a letter of credit. Jimmy Hanna of Warner says cost of reclaiming is $8k, board does not agree. Check to see if intent had been filed in the last two years. Also, we need to follow up to see if letter from Sugar River was ever sent last year (Molly was to follow up with that.) He was in last April 12th 2016, to find out if he was using the correct form to apply for the next 5 years. Needs follow up, did this ever come in to the Selectman last year? Pleasant Valley Rd.

Barry Wheeler – Have not heard from Barry after three calls. Claire will appear at next selectman’s meeting for help. Unknown.

Harret Hobbs – Claire will take this to the Selectman Meeting. Property needs reclaiming. If the town reclaims then how do they offset the expense? Lean on property? Take ownership?

The next Planning Board meeting is scheduled for June 13, 2017 at 7:00pm at BACC.

Meeting adjourned at 7:51 pm
