Summary

The board agreed to review the State of New Hampshire DOT driveway regulations alongside the town draft at its October meeting and referred a proposal to name Zoning Coordinator Tim Bray as an alternate to legal counsel because of his dual town roles.

The Springfield Planning Board resumed review of the town’s Driveway Regulations and decided to compare the State of New Hampshire DOT document with the town draft to identify any town-specific provisions to address at the October meeting.

During that discussion John Trachy proposed that Tim Bray be considered as a board alternate. Several members said the question should be forwarded to legal counsel because Bray also serves as the town Zoning Coordinator and as Health Officer, creating a potential role conflict. The board took no appointment action at the meeting and scheduled the regulatory comparison for the next meeting.

No public comments were recorded on the driveway regulations during the meeting. The board’s next step is to bring the state and town documents for a side-by-side review in October.
