Annual report of the Town of Hampton, New Hampshire

HAMPTON PLANNING BOARD
In 1 991 the Hampton Planning Board met 21 times and held 27 public
hearings along with other proposals, consisting of use change requests,
letters of credit, zoning ordinance changes and expanding commercial
buildings. The Board's revenue was $4,603.00.
The Board consists of seven members, six elected and the seventh is an
ex-officio member from the Board of Selectmen. The Board meets usually
twice per month but held only one meeting during the months of April, May,
July and October due to budget constraints. Public hearings are held the first
Wednesday of each month which consist of either a subdivision, site plan
review or lot line revision. The Board's work session meeting is held on the
third Wednesday of the month, where plans are again reviewed and either
approved, denied or tabled.
Ray Hutchinson remains the liaison from the Building Inspection Department,
keeping the Board up-to-date with items the Board should be aware
of or deal with, and Sandra Nickerson has been the Board's Secretary for
the past twelve years. *
