Old Business
The Planning Board began a page‑by‑page review of the 1999 Planning and Land Use Regulations. Bob Gale requested that the Board start its discussion on page 20, specifically addressing septic systems within the Flood Plain Area. He also provided background information on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
John Berube recommended that the Board meet with Crystal Pelletier to further review NFIP requirements. Bob Gale expressed his understanding that Crystal Pelletier has tasked the Planning Board with developing a plan related to these regulations.
John Berube asked Bob Gale to bring the relevant flood plain regulations and NFIP materials to the next meeting to support the Board’s continued discussion. He also requested a copy of the Town of Stark Flood Plain Ordinance. Patty Peel distributed copies of the ordinance to all Planning Board members.
The Planning Board reviewed prior subdivision requests and confirmed that no active applications are pending. The Board agreed to conduct a page‑by‑page review and update of the subdivision regulations.
Bob Gale directed the Board to page 9 of the regulations for information regarding Flood Plain areas.
John Berube then directed members to page 6, Section 1, to begin the regulatory review. During this discussion, Ray Perkins questioned the definition of “subdivision,” and Jim Klinder referred the Board to the definition provided on page 11. Bob Eich noted that subdivision information is also available through the Coös County Registry.
The Board continued its review on page 6. On page 7, questions arose regarding the “variations” provision. Bob Eich clarified that the Board may grant a variance when a subdivision does not meet all requirements. Bob Gale expressed concern that Section 1 pertains only to subdivisions; John Berube confirmed this, and Eich further clarified that additional rules apply to related matters such as excavation or intent‑to‑cut permits. Members agreed to avoid discussions that would fall under zoning authority.
Section 2, containing definitions, begins on page 7. The Board reviewed these definitions, and Jim Klinder clarified that “annexation” may also be referred to as a “lot line adjustment.”

Planning Board Role Call: James Klinder, John Berube, Ray Perkins, Bob Gale and Carlo Calle
John Berube called the meeting to order at 0600 PM
Session Open for public hearing.
John Berube made a motion to waive the reading of last meetings minutes, Carlo 2nd the motion. Motion passed.
Bob Gale brought up the topic of septic systems and asked if it should be the Planning Board’s role to review and approve septic designs. Jim Klinder noted that it is NH DES’s role to review the licensed engineering design, issue the approval, and send a copy to the town. The Select Board acknowledges receipt and files the DES-approved plans in the property record. After lengthy conversation back and forth, Jim Klinder made a motion to table this topic, Carlo Calle 2nd the motion and John Berube stated he would go to a selectboard meeting to bring this up for a topic of conversation.
Bob Gale brought up the topic that a town official should observe perk tests. After a lengthy conversation, Jim Klinder stated he would research what the RSA states on perk tests and bring back the results to the next meeting.
John Berube asked the board what they were able to find in their research of neighboring towns roles and responsibilities for the planning board. Jim Klinder provided Columbia’s master plan, zoning ordinances, and various associated fees. Bob Gale stated that the town of Dummer had no helpful documents that he could retrieve, but suggested to all members that we visit the town of Stratford’s website to review the planning board’s roles and responsibilities. John Berube stated that after speaking with two different parties in Milan associated with the planning board, the only document I could retrieve was the 85-page master plan. Carlo Calle stated he spoke with a former selectman in a southern NH town, who mentioned that once we have an approved and submitted master plan, the state can have more control over what we do in the town of Stark, regarding planning board tasks.
Ray Perkins made a motion that we hold a vote on NOT spending any Planning Board time on a master plan. Carlo Calle 2nd the motion. A vote was held, and all members agreed not to spend time on a master plan.
John Berube asked all members continue researching the planning board roles and responsibilities and document their findings while citing sources. The Planning Board will review the findings at the next meeting.
John Berube asked all planning board members to refrain from speaking at any gathering/meeting representing the planning board unless specifically asked by the chairman.
John Berube asked all planning board members not to conduct any site visits without two or more members present. Keeping in mind that any site visit requires a meeting to be publicly announced.
Bob Gale brought up the various interruptions that occurred throughout the meeting. Carlo Calle suggested that we follow Robert’s Rules of Order, limiting each person to a maximum of 3 minutes to speak, followed by a follow-up conversation on that topic.
John Berube stated that others have an interest in Planning Board positions. Jim Klinder stated that the Planning Board could be increased to 7 members, provided it was voted such by the town meeting. After a lengthy conversation, we brought it to a vote. After a 4 to 1 vote, it was determined to wait for the March 2026 town elections before pursuing increasing membership from 5 to 7 through Planning Board petition to the Select Board for a warrant article. Jim Klinder, John Berube, Ray Perkins, and Bob Gales voted yes to waiting for March 2026 town elections (Carlo Calle voted to pursue adding new members beforehand).
The motion to adjourn was made by Ray Perkins, seconded by John Berube, and the motion was carried.

Planning Board Meeting Minutes
April 22, 2025
Planning Board Role Call: James Klinder, John Berube, and Henry Dion
In Attendance: Harley Mason (applicant)
Jim Klinder called the meeting to order, and John Berube 2nd the motion at 0501 PM
Session Open for public hearing.
Jim Klinder gave a synopsis for the meeting: to re-evaluate the required reclamation bond for Harley Mason’s gravel pit permit renewal and establish a baseline for reclamation bonds moving forward. The reclamation bond is discussed in the Town of Stark’s Planning and Land Use Regulations – “Regulations Governing the Excavation, Removal, and Movement of Earth” and New Hampshire’s 2024 New Hampshire Revised Statutes Title XII – Public Safety and Welfare, Chapter 155-E – Local Regulation of Excavations.
Henry Dion shared his investigation findings into this matter. He stated that after speaking with regional gravel pit representatives, it was found that $1400 per acre for reclamation purposes was a fair and reasonable figure if the resources, such as soil cover and excavation equipment, are already present. Given the current economy, the $1400 figure should be approximately doubled per acre if soil cover must be acquired from other sources. Currently, screened loam is between $18 and $26 per cubic yard.
Harley Mason agreed with this assessment. Furthermore, Harley Mason provided his Bond Company information: Rowley Agency LLC at 603-224-2562.
Jim Klinder confirmed with Harley Mason that the excavation area is 12 acres. Mr. Mason also confirmed that soil cover is stockpiled on site, alleviating the need to outsource the material for reclamation. Mr. Mason stated that the equipment and materials required for reclamation are on site.
Jim Klinder made a motion to set the bond amount for $1400/acre for the acreage that will be excavated (12 acres). John Berube 2nd the motion. Motion carried. Reclamation bond set at $16,800.
Harley Mason shared with the board what is included in opening a gravel pit in the state of New Hampshire and the costs associated with it at both the state and federal levels.
The motion to adjourn was made by Jim Klinder, seconded by John Berube, and the motion was carried.
