Letter
DES Wetlands Report Is In On 40 Unit Epsom


The Epsom Planning Board will once again meet on August 12 at around 6:30/7:00 PM to discuss the proposed 40 unit Bartlett Housing Development on Goboro and Depot Roads. Of particular interest at this meeting, will be the review and discussion of a report from the Department of Environmental Services emphasizing Wetlands Impact!

 
Because of the MAJOR impact of this proposal, the DES has expressed their strong concerns, along with specific restrictions to be imposed on the Nashua developer.


The impact on existing wetlands has always been of major concern to the town as well, in addition to concerns for the projected financial hardship to all residents of Epsom!


Major road improvements, adding 80 new children to the school system, and additional Town services, will cost Epsom dearly. 420 additional vehicle trips forecast for Depot and Goboro roads will adversely affect property values for ALL who live in that part of town… and of course Taxes will of necessity go up for everyone in town!


Rebuilding of the intersection of Depot road, Chichester’s Main Street, and Route 28… along with a new Traffic Light, would be made necessary. More expense to the public, and to the state of NH! The “bottom line” is that a tremendous amount of Public money would be spent on this cluster development, so that the Nashua developer could make his profits. Not a good thing for the rest of us!


The conditional DES permit is a matter of public record, to be viewed at the Epsom Town Hall offices. Please continue to make your voices heard at the town meetings, or by writing the Planning board and This is a matter of great concern for ALL residents of Epsom!

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
Starting in August, the Legislature is working on “retained bills”: promising bills that need more work to resolve differences, identify all the impacts, or incorporate clauses from all the stakeholders. I’m on the Executive Departments & Administration Committee, and I’ll be working on HB 42, allowing the state veterinarian to employ meat inspectors, and HB 410, on the licensing of alcohol and drug counselors. Others from my committee are working on HB 268, transfers from the judicial branch to the executive or legislative branches of state government; HB 401, on the membership of the retirement system board of trustees; HB 510, on the director of vital records; HB 617, permitting private employers and others to join the state health insurance program; and HB 673, on withdrawing from the New Hampshire retirement system.


Representative Brown is on the Public Works and Highways Committee, which has retained HB 124, on the gas tax; HB 564, on wheelchair van accessible parking spaces; and SB 186, about the establishment of a statewide transportation policy and a transportation advisory commission. Representative Porter is the vice-chair of Fish & Game & Marine Resources, which has no retained bills this year.


Representative Yeaton is on the Education Committee, which has five retained bills: HB 327, eliminating median family income as a factor in calculating fiscal capacity disparity aid; HB 368, annual goals in a home education program; HB 560, on using state funds for extended learning opportunities for certain pupils; HB 615, on withdrawal from a school administrative unit; and SB 59, about the renovation and replacement of school buildings.


All committee meetings are open to the public. Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me.


Representative
