Bills
A bill for registration fees for the January 30 'Striking a Balance' workshop, for $51.00, was approved unanimously.

CEO Report
Activity regarding the new school is picking up. DEP has approved necessary permits. WBRC engineers have contacted the State in regards to CEO's responsibilities as the school is being built to International Building Codes.

New Business
Shawn Pinkham and his daughter Shaylynn discussed changes they are proposing with the office building located on Rte 1. They would like to take the three center offices and create one large space to be used as a chem-free location for local high school aged youth. They expect it to be used on Fridays and Saturdays from 7-11 PM, and possibly some afternoons.
As this is a change of type of occupancy, the CEO is responsible for approval.
Board suggested that they notify the neighbors of their intent, including asking for a response, by mail and file a copy of said letter with the CEO

Old Business
Subdivision Ordinance discussions continued regarding dead end road length limits. There was no public response to the notice in the town newsletter. If a decision to extend road length is made, the Board agreed that issues such as fire pond(s) placement and turnout numbers and placement would need to be looked at. Board will attempt to settle the issue at their next meeting.

The Meeting was adjourned at 8:17 PM.

The next meeting of the Planning Board will be March 18, 2008.

Respectively submitted,

Barbara Bateman, Acting Secretary
