(a) Special Exception #259, Jonathan & Colleen Totman, Hair Salon at 183 Route 81 – public hearing scheduled for January 19, 2010.
There was a brief discussion as to whether this hearing should be rescheduled due to the letter from R. E. Leighton, Agent for the Health Director, noted above, but as the publication has already gone in to the newspaper, it was decided to hold the public hearing on January 19th and continue it if necessary.
6. Zoning Enforcement Officer's Report
C. Jefferson noted a new temporary Acting Health Director, Lucinda Hogarty, has been appointed until March.
C. Jefferson noted she is expecting new plans from the gas station applicant discussed in a previous meeting. Copies will also be given to the Wetlands Commission, Richard Leighton and the Town Engineer. The applicant is aware they have to apply for location approval.
7. New Business – none.
8. Report of Officers and Subcommittees
Chairman Lentz asked if the Commission wants to pursue the Ordinance of Fines for Zoning Violations. Lentz indicated this is permitted by State Statute. The draft of this Ordinance was originally prepared by Attorney William Howard (who is the Commission's attorney and now Town attorney) for Deep River. This Ordinance provides an incentive for violators to settle and not go to Court, thereby saving the Town the cost of legal fees. Chairman Lentz will forward copies to the members and this will be discussed at the next meeting.
9. Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:14 PM.
