Select Board approves conservation purchase of about 104 acres
Summary
The Barnstead Select Board approved the conservation commission's plan to acquire roughly 104 contiguous acres (three tax lots) to preserve open space. The motion passed by voice vote after a short public hearing and questions about wetlands and deed fees.
The Barnstead Select Board voted to approve the conservation commission's purchase of three contiguous tax lots totaling approximately 104 acres, owned by Carlene A. Normanden, to be conserved. Chair (S1) opened a noticed public hearing and read the published notice that the hearing was posted in the Laconia Sun and at town facilities; Committee member (S2) summarized the parcel and closing logistics.
During public input and board discussion, a resident asked whether any portion of the parcel is classified as wetland. Presenter (S3) and Committee member (S2) replied that deed and wetland details are being handled with the town attorney and that any county transfer fees and public-notice costs were accounted for. Committee member (S2) moved to approve the purchase of Map 4 Lot 4; Map 4 Lot 5; and Map 3 Lot 29-15; Resident (S4) seconded. Chair (S1) called for the voice vote and said "Aye," and the motion passed. The board confirmed the deed will be signed and notarized to complete the transaction.
