Votes at a glance: March 18 Wolfeboro Planning Board work session
Summary
The board approved officer and committee appointments, several representative assignments, citizen CIP appointments and a letter supporting 30 affordable housing units at Harriman Hill 3; minutes for March 4 were approved.
At its March 18 work session the Wolfeboro Planning Board recorded several routine procedural votes. Most actions were approved by voice vote; the board also approved a letter supporting an affordable-housing tax-credit application.
Key outcomes (voice votes unless noted): - Chair and vice chair: Doug Breskin was nominated and accepted the chairmanship; Steve Webster was nominated and accepted as vice chair. Both nominations were approved by voice vote. - Planning board alternates: The board appointed Kathy Barnard and Jane Nielsen to three-year alternate terms (voice vote). - Technical Review Committee (TRC) representative: The board appointed Steve Webster as planning board representative to the TRC and appointed Kathy Barnard as the alternate (voice vote). - Capital Improvement Program (CIP) committee: The board appointed Steve Webster as the planning board member and chair of the 2025 CIP committee and appointed Kathy Barnard as a planning-board member to the CIP. The board also voted to amend the CIP rules of procedure to allow someone other than the planning-board chair to serve as committee chair (voice vote); members noted a public-notice process will be followed to finalize procedural changes. - Citizen appointments to CIP: Paul Whelan, Tim Cronin and Chuck Sumner were appointed to the CIP committee (voice vote). The board asked staff to advertise publicly for any additional member-at-large openings. - Support letter for affordable housing: The board voted to send a letter supporting Lakes Region Community Developers’ tax-credit application for Harriman Hill 3, a proposed 30-unit affordable housing project in Wolfeboro (voice vote). The letter notes the project includes a range of units 30%–120% of area median income and three units for extremely low-income individuals with developmental disabilities. The letter states the project received prior approvals in July 2023 from the zoning board and the planning board. - Approval of minutes: The March 4 meeting minutes were approved with corrections; the board recorded 4 votes in favor, 2 abstentions (members who were not present at that meeting).
No ordinances or land-use applications were adopted by the planning board during this meeting. Several appointments and procedural amendments will require follow-up administrative steps (posting, updating rules and staff notifications).
