OLD / NEW BUSINESS:

Discussion was had concerning the number of members that should be on the Planning Board. Concern was expressed about when and how the decision had been made to go from a 7 to a 5 member board. It was determined that in 1997 Planning Board Members were to be elected for a term of 3 years in accordance with RSA 673:2. At about the same time, the number of board members changed from 7 to 5. No record of this change has been located and members of the board expressed concern over the legality of this change, decisions having been made after the fact, etc. Mr.Gombas motioned to present to the voters of the Town of Lyman an article to elect a five member Planning Board pursuant to RSA 673:2. Mr. Moscicki seconded. Passed 5-0.

The next item discussed was changing the wording of the Zoning Regulation concerning anemometers and how the Zoning Board planned to enforce this regulation. It was mentioned that the Town Assistant, Donna Clark, had wished to be present when the board discussed this topic as she had information and questions to share with them on this subject. It was decided that further discussion would be had at the December 1st meeting at which time Donna Clark would be present.

ADJOUNMENT:

Ms. Colombi motioned to adjourn at 9:00 p.m. Mr. Beane seconded. Passed 5-0.
