Ossipee Select Board approves routine tax, abatements and permitting items; seals nonpublic minutes
Summary
At its meeting the Ossipee Select Board voted to seal two nonpublic session minutes, approved land use change taxes and exemptions, several notices and levies, excavation warrants, multiple clerical abatements, a ZBA variance decision, and a Planning Board special use permit; all recorded motions were approved by voice or roll call.
The Ossipee Select Board approved a series of routine municipal items during the meeting, including sealing nonpublic minutes, tax and permit actions, abatements and notices of decisions from land‑use boards.
Sealing of minutes: The board voted to seal nonpublic minutes from session 1 under RSA 91‑A:3, II(c) and session 2 under RSA 91‑A:3, II(a). The motion to seal was seconded and carried by roll call.
Taxes and exemptions: The board approved two land use change tax payments for Map 131, Lot 21 and Map 131, Lot 20, each in the amount of $7,600. The board approved four elderly tax exemptions for properties listed by address (193 Dorshorner Road; 25 Route 25 East; 41 Shady Lane; 28 Moose Ridge Road) and a veteran's tax credit for 230 Granite Road; the assessor recommended approval for these exemptions.
Notices, levies and permits: The board approved three notices of intent to excavate (Map 231 Lot 202; Map 243 Lot 12; Map 235 Lot 4, as stated in the transcript), two yield tax levies (Map 215 Lot 5 for $137.64; Map 223 Lot 29 for $4,569.65), a notice of intent to cut timber for Map 267 Lot 5, and multiple excavation warrant amounts (including Map 231 Lot 1 for $32; Map 243 Lot 2 for $600; Map 235 Lot 4 for $1,590.94; Map 231 Lot 22 for $1,005.07 as read in the meeting). All were moved, seconded and approved.
Abatements: The board approved a batch of clerical abatements the assessor recommended, covering campgrounds, camper registrations and clerical errors; amounts ranged from small adjustments (for example $6) to larger abatement/refund amounts, including $5,375 for a church account and a refund/abatement of $1,020.86 noted for a property that experienced a fire; the assessor's recommendations were accepted.
Land‑use board decisions: The board acknowledged a Zoning Board of Adjustment notice of decision in case 2502 granting a variance for commercial use at sites referenced on Route 24 and Route 28, and a Planning Board decision for case 2501SUP granting a special use permit for 58 Deerclover Road.
Why it matters: These routine approvals implement tax reconciliations, property‑specific exemptions, and land‑use board decisions that affect property owners and local permitting. The board acted on assessor recommendations and administrative items; the transcript records each motion as approved by voice or roll call and does not indicate controversy on these items.
Details: The transcript records motions and roll calls for each item; the meeting did not record any votes failing on these routine matters.
