    Town of Temple, New Hampshire Planning Board

    TOWN OF TEMPLE, NEW HAMPSHIRE PLANNING BOARD NOVEMBER 30, 2011 FINAL MINUTES OF PUBLIC MEETING Board members present: John Kieley, Randy Martin, Bruce Kullgren, Allan Pickman, Richard Whitcomb, and Rose Lowry Call to order by Pickman at 7:20 p.m. after a slight delay in setting up the PowerPoint presentation. Public forum on Large Wind Energy Systems: Lowry welcomed the audience of approximately 60 people and gave an overview of the meeting format. She asked that questions be held until after the initial presentation. Lowry then provided commentary to a PowerPoint display. She explained that Pioneer Green Energy has proposed a multi-tower wind farm project in the neighboring town of New Ipswich, and is also considering placement of 1 to 3 towers in Temple in the area of Kidder Mountain. She indicated planning is still in the preliminary stages. She said Temple is considered an abutter to the New Ipswich project due to regional impact. Even if no turbines are installed in Temple, all New Ipswich towers would be visible in Temple. Lowry stated New Ipswich already has a large wind energy zoning ordinance in place to regulate commercial wind, and now Temple is considering creation of such an ordinance. This would help maintain local control, protect the character of the town, safeguard public health and safety, preserve property values, and protect wildlife and the environment. She also said without any local control the state Site Evaluation Committee (SEC) could become involved, as well as the local Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). Lowry next discussed turbine size and the amount of energy created.

    MassLand E-News ​The Newsletter of the Massachusetts Land Conservation Community December 15, 2020, Volume 18, Number 12 Member Spotlight Saving an Iconic Landscape North County Land Trust has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect 200 acres including the south peak of Mt. Watatic. Mt. Watatic is a 1,832-foot monadnock just south of the Massachusetts– New Hampshire border, at the southern end of the Wapack Range of mountains. It lies within Ashburnham and Ashby, in Massachusetts, and New Ipswich in New Hampshire. It’s the terminus for the 22-mile Wapack Trail (heading north into NH) and the 92-mile Midstate Trail (heading south to CT). This parcel is part of a quilt of iconic landscapes and provides a critical addition to an unfragmented block of natural habitat. It would complete preservation of the entire summit of the popular Mt. Watatic. NCLT is working in partnership with the Department Fish and Game, as this property has been on the region’s radar as a key property of conservation interest for decades due to its high conservation and recreational value. Learn more. Or contact NCLT with questions at [email protected] or 978-466-3900. Here's your opportunity to highlight a project in the works, or a current conservation success story! Send a short description and a photo to [email protected]. We'd like to highlight properties in various parts of the state, so if we don't get to you this month, we will soon.
