     1.  Creek Hill Estates:  Tax Map 4, Lots 210-1—Home Plate II, Inc.

Frank Caparco and Keith Coviello presented  plans for a 26 acre/8 lot subdivision.  On the plan there are 2 small wetlands impacts, 2300 sq. ft. total.  As this is minimum impact(under 3000 sq ft), they were asking for an expedited dredge and fill permit.  The Board did not see any issues against the wetlands impact.  Ron made a motion to accept, Judy seconded; all in favor.  Chris will sign off after the application has gone through Doreen Moore.

     2.  UNH Students:  Christina and Evan presented their budget and proposal plan for their wetlands project.  Total budget was $1015.  Judy made a motion to accept their proposed budget, Ron seconded; all in favor.  They have 4 target areas:  (A) SE corner or town, bordering Kingston, (B) SW corner of town, north of  111, (C) mid-W area of town, SW of wetland #2 of the first study done, and (D) far NE corner of town, Fremont/Kingston line.  Chris will notify the police of the UNH students present in town, and he will also notify the landowners, as needed, from a list which will provided by Christina.  The students will be starting the evaluations within the week. The project will be done by Dec. 7, 2005 at which time the students will give the CC their presentation.  The budget and proposal will be given to Sheila to file.

     4.  Mail/Correspondence: 

*NH Conservation Commission dues paid—to be filed by Sheila

*Letter to Selectmen re: conservation easement on file

*other mail was out of date

     5.  Other Issues:

*Iron Wheel dredge and fill application ? of sq ft 281 or 218 has not yet been cleared up.

*Bulletin board—Judy to talk with Selectmen about maybe just making the outside area one larger or have one inside.  To add another board area outside would not be attractive, Judy thought.

*Conservation easement,  Judy will email Bob- Selectmen, to ask if they have addressed the issue, response to our recommendation.
