Campton board to recommend elevating alternate Cynthia Vascak; clerk letters clarify auto‑repair licensing
Summary
The board agreed to recommend elevating Cynthia Vascak from alternate to full member and reviewed town‑clerk correspondence clarifying state licenses: J & M Imports needs no site plan; Forrest‑Howes Auto Repair’s application to sell cars was identified as a change of use requiring site‑plan review.
During its April 1 work session the Campton Planning Board discussed staffing and correspondence and directed the Planning and Zoning Coordinator to take follow‑up steps.
Cynthia Vascak told the board she was prepared to become a full member; the board agreed and tasked the Planning and Zoning Coordinator with drafting a letter to the Selectmen recommending her elevation from alternate to full member.
Town Clerk Hannah Joyce submitted two letters about state licensing. She reported that J & M Imports is seeking a license to inspect cars; the board concluded that inspection licensing would not constitute a change of use and signed a confirming letter. By contrast, Forrest‑Howes Auto Repair’s state application to sell cars was identified as a change of use, and the board noted that such a change requires a site plan review prior to approval.
The board also discussed a potential separate short‑term sign permit for seasonal and event signs raised by the coordinator, but members concluded it was unnecessary at this time given existing workarounds for businesses and organizers. The board adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
