Mike Tardiff appeared to talk about the Plan New Hampshire MTAG program, the funding available and would the Planning Board be interested in help with a grant application. The funding available is tied specifically to housing. Mike mentioned the possibility of Bradford revising its cluster development zoning and funding through this program to help with that. After discussion with Mike and among the board it was decided that this program does not fit with the Bradford Master Plan and our rural development.

Other Communication:

Pam read a letter from the Selectboard requesting that the Planning Board draft a noise ordinance to be prepared to present at Town Meeting. Pam will draft and put together a subcommittee. Also discussed was the Zoning Boards previous request to the Planning Board that the Board come up with a Lake Massasecum Lake District building restriction guide. Another subcommittee will be formed to address that.
