The minutes for Dec.22, 2010 were read, Pat made a motion to accept as read, and Everett seconded the motion. Voted and Approved.

Travis Royce & Mike Beaudy: Travis Royce and Mike Beaudy came before the Board to responded to the letter (Nov.17, 2010) that they received concerning Norm Beaudy gravel pit. Travis stated that Norm did not file for 2 years, which cause them to loose their grandfather clause. But he believes they used the grave pit for many years after that and filed and paid taxes and was not aware of any lack of grandfather clause at that point and the Town acknowledges and accepted tax revenue so he wonders if there was any thoughts on that as to whether they need to reapply for a new 155E permit. Chops stated that this Board took over the administering of 155E about 21/2 years ago before that gravel pits were not regulated. Mike stated back than when your intentions were to excavate you filed and paid the fee and taxes thru the Town Selectmen. Jay stated that there is no law that provided for the Board to reinstate a grandfather clause. So once you loose your grandfather clause we cannot reinstate it by law. At some point we were trying to get together for a reclamation plan. That did not happen. Our biggest concern as a Board is a reclamation plan of a gravel pit. You did give us a map but not a reclamation plan so the Board sent Norm a letter asking him to come before the Board to resolve this issue. Chops stated that if Norm’s plans to continued to excavate or not he still has to submit a reclamation plan to the Board. Rob asks Mike if he is going to going to make an application for 155Epermit? Mike stated that he has to ask his father first (Norm) Mike stated that his father is in AZ right now and will be back by Feb. Everett stated that Feb. 16 is our next meeting and ask Mike if he think the Board will be able to hear back by them, Mike stated hopefully he will get back to the Board by then. Mike does have an application of our regulations and the Checklist. Chops stated that if you summit your application in Feb., the Board could have a public hearing and vote on your application in March. Chops thanks Mike and Travis for coming in and hope to see them next month.

Discussion of Articles for Town Warrant: Chops stated that 8 articles are done and he has sent them to the Town attorney for approval and the attorney sent them back to Chops. The Board discusses the last day to file for the public hearing. The last date is Feb 1,2011. Estelle will post this public hearing in the Keene Sentinel and Eagle Time she will also post this notice on the Langdon Municipal Building and the Town Hall. Chops will try to rewrite the language for the remaining articles (6-7-8/9) hopefully he will get them done before the deadline, if not the Board will finish the remaining articles this coming year.
