Mailbox:

NH Division of Historical Resources:
            Letter to Selectman regarding consideration of listing Emery farm on registration of national historic places.  16 Emery Lane was the location of “Chases Tavern” now owned by John Reese.

Municipal update:
             Planning Board - approved Reese (existing house to be listed on register of historic places; See above) and Daley subdivisions.  Sullivan subdivision on High St. now plans for a cul-de-sac without a through connection due to abutter and Sullivan family concerns. Audi will come with a revised site plan that is to include side walks.  110 Grill has applied for a building permit, and Butcher shop is creating a formal area to serve food.

            Kim Woods has resigned as Park Ranger and John Dodge is now a part time assistant at the Park.

            Rob Roseen is now an alternate on the Planning Board.

Forestry Work on Stratham Hill:
            Tree cutting on top of Stratham Hill to begin after Fair concludes.  The number of trees flagged appears to be significant.  Allison had walked the proposed cutting area with Seth Hickey and Collin Laverty about 3 weeks ago.   

Master Plan:
            Pat Elwell asked Joe Lovejoy about the selectman’s view of updating the town master plan.  Joe indicated that some money has been set aside for the project and that it will likely need to be completed by a consulting firm.
