CENSORSHIP & SECRECY; IT NEVER ENDS IN WINCHESTER

We received several emails requesting information on a story published in the Keene Sentinel today in regards to the Historical District Commission meeting minutes that were removed from the Town's website and the bulletin boards at the Town Hall, asking what was in them that would prompt such action by Town officials. After doing some research on the matter; as the late Paul Harvey would have said ..... and now for the rest of the story ( the real one );
Seems once again the Keene Sentinel has gotten some of it's "facts" twisted around. According to sources (in the know) the real story goes like this;

Our Code Enforcement Officer is up to his usual antics – attempting to cover his butt!  This time he had some help and it did not come from M. Haman, chairman of the HDC, as the Sentinel reported; but from the Town's Administrator.  Leroy requested that the minutes be removed.

The Historic District has had numerous occasions over the years, in which Leroy has handed out building permits in the Historic District - which is not the proper protocol.  Anyone wishing to build or remodel their home in the historic district have to come before the board before any permit can be issued.  Apparently, after reading the HDC's meeting minutes, posted on the Town's website Leroy pulled the copies of the minutes from the town bulletin boards and marched up to Joan Morel’s office and requested that she pull the minutes from the Town’s website (which constitutes a misdemeanor under NH State Law).   He told her that he would take full responsibility for this action.

If the Town won’t post the minutes, we will! -  We believe in transparency and honesty and that the people of Winchester have the right to see these minutes. - You decide for yourself:

Meeting Minutes of the Town of Winchester

Historic District Commission

Monday, November 22, 2010

Attendance:  Michael Haman (Chairman), Mary DePina, Julia Ferrari (Vice Chairman), Harvey Sieran, Kim Gordon (Planning Board Rep & acting Secretary), and Absent: Penny Chagnon, Gene Park & Selectman’s Representative.    Public Attendance:  none

M Haman called the meeting to order at 6:58 pm. 

First Order of business:  M Haman reads the minutes from the previous meeting held on Monday, October 25, 2010. H. Sieran moves to accept the minutes as complete, M. DePina seconds. J. Ferrari made a friendly amendment.  All in favor.  

Second order of business:  One week ago, M. Haman and K. Gordon met to view the renovations being made by M. Ambrigio at 19 High Street.   The board discussed what kind of measures to take, since he has done this numerous times in the past and had agreed to come before the board in the future.  M. Haman read a draft letter requesting that M. Ambrigio cease all exterior construction until he has come before our board for review.  K. Gordon made the motion to send the letter certified mail, Julia seconded.  All in favor. 

The board discussed measures that they could take to insure that the Building Inspector, Leroy Austin does not continue to give out building permits in the Historic District.  H. Sieran will check with the Town Administrator, Joan Morel, to see if Avitar can include this in their information/cards; along with all properties in town listing which zone(s) they are in.  This would help to insure that all historic properties would bring up a red flag on the Land Use computer system.  It was also decided that K. Gordon & M. Haman would come up with a mailing list of all historic district owners that L. Austin could use as a quick checklist. 

Third order of business:  Matt Abbott contacted the board earlier in the month with their concerns about their attorney not being able to get a clear title on the Back Ashuelot Road property.  The board will inform them know that it is important that they meet with the Board of Selectman on this matter.  There was discussion on property deeds & titles and how could the Town sell properties that do not have a clear title.  Members will inquire about this. 

There was discussion on Deano’s Pizzeria.  No one has heard anything about the remodeling taking place.  M. Haman will check to see if they will be doing any exterior work and if they were issued a building permit also.  This lead into a discussion that was brought up during a R.E.D. committee meeting by H. Sieran - the matter of the incomplete A-1 Pizza building. There was a lengthy discussion on this issue.  K. Gordon informed the board that approved projects before July 1, 2009 had only one year to complete active or substantial development (as long as the development remains in compliance with public health regulations).  At this point the project is no longer “vested” and is well beyond the deadline and no longer has an approved site plan. They are required to go before the Planning Board for a new site plan review or tear down the building.  The Planning Board should have reviewed this several years ago and L. Austin should have issued the owners the appropriate warnings and instructions.

H. Sieran was reminded about the additional funding request (to the Budget Committee) needed for a mass mailing to all historic homeowners. He reminded the board that these funds would not be in place until after July 1, 2011.  

J. Ferrari contacted the State’s Historic Department and was informed that they do not keep records of Historic Districts, just historic buildings throughout the state.    There was another discussion about expanding the historic districts on the March ballot.  Will discuss this issue at the December meeting.

Next meeting date scheduled on Monday, December 27 at 7:00 PM.  Meeting adjourned at 7:36 pm.  H. Sieran announced that he wouldn’t be able to attend.

Historic District Commission

Monday, July 26, 2010

Attendance:  Michael Haman (Chairman), Harvey Sieran, Kim Gordon (Planning Board Rep & acting Secretary) and alternates Gene Park.  Absent: Penny Chagnon, Mary DePina, Julia Ferrari, & Selectman’s Representative.     Public Attendance:  none

M Haman called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm.

First Order of business:  M. Haman gave a brief summary of the minutes of the last meeting held on Monday, June 26, 2010.  H. Sieran made a motion to accept the minutes and G. Parks seconded.  All in favor.

M. Haman informed the group about his correspondence with Jane Sheeran about the approval of the metal roof on the rail station.  Ms. Sheeran then sent an email that stated, “…any future building repair, your request for HDC permit may conflict with Mr. Austin’s authority and the exemptions detailed in the HDC guidelines.”  She was then notified by email from M. Haman, “I have spoken at length with Leroy Austin in regards to your reply to my mail requesting you file a new application with the HDC for continued work on the train station.  Leroy and I are in agreement that you need to make a new application to the HDC to continue your work.”

According to the commission’s ordinance, M. Sheeran does need to come before the committee about the removal of trees.  Not only is the property in the 250’ Shoreland Protection buffer, but trees are listed twice in the ordinance as a requirement to come before the committee to receive approval. 

H. Sieran, as a Budget Committee member, will research the budget for our committee.  Also, where do the funds go from the monies received for an application?  An amount was discussed to present to the budget committee as a budget.  He will also speak with the town clerk Jim Tetreault about our committee submitting a summary in the annual report.  K. Gordon made a motion to approve and G. Parks second.  All in favor. 

Selectman Gus Ruth had suggested that signs be made to distinguish the historic districts.  Considerations are being made to extend the district to include the entire block of Richmond Road to Parker Street.  There was further discussion on improvements to the ordinance and a summary to be given to all households within the historic district.  It was agreed that all members should be present to discuss this further.  There were questions about the “Certificate of Approval” mentioned in the ordinance.  Will check with Bob Gray if one exists, otherwise one will be designed by the secretary before the next meeting.  Discussion on organizing an Advisory Committee that would include local business people with knowledge in construction, architecture, engineering, real estate, legal, etc.

Next meeting date scheduled for the committee’s regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, August 23 at 7:00 PM.  Meeting adjourned at 7:45 pm.

You're A Bad Neighbor -

Dear Winchester,

You’re being a bad neighbor.

I’m not sure how else to tell you this, but we really don’t want your stinky, noisy, toxic asphalt plant in our backyard on top of our water supply.

We’ve asked you repeatedly, but you’ve turned a deaf ear.

And what’s more, you are being completely irresponsible to allow this plant to be built on top of an aquifer and so very close to a protected river.

You’ve manipulated the environmental research to slant in your favor and turned a blind eye to wisdom and caution. That aquifer supplies water to the wells of this whole region! How could there be no risk of anything ever leaking into it?

We aren’t buying it. You are doing this for your own financial interest with no care for how it affects others.

Do you not care that you could be potentially poisoning the wells of many in your own town? If even one person gets cancer, and they find even a trace of any of your stuff in the river or in the wells, you’ll be sued.

If a whole town sees a spike in cancer rates, can you afford that nightmare lawsuit? Can you even afford the lawsuits of people who think they might possibly have had their wells contaminated?

And are you prepared to deal with the plummet of property values of all of the homes near the plant?

Have you taken that cost into consideration?

Those properties will become unmarketable — perhaps even abandoned. The property owners will demand a reduction in their taxes. And the unlucky souls who are trapped there will have the noise of the race track by night and the racket of the asphalt plant by day. (Swanzey should note this as well. A loss of property value is coming their way also. The peasants are furious.)

And so, Winchester Town, you have been very shortsighted in your eagerness to have this particular commercial business in your tax base.

But you’ve been unwise also — unwise, greedy and heartless.

VOTERS PILE ON MORE!

By Sarah Palermo
Sentinel Staff
Published: Friday, February 11, 2011

WINCHESTER — Winchester voters added nearly $600,000 to the proposed 2011-12 school district budget at the annual deliberative session on Thursday night, before sending all other warrant articles to the ballot unchanged.

The budget that will appear on the ballot — along with proposed contracts for district teachers and support staff — was set at $11,089,128, up from the town budget committee’s recommendation of $10.5 million.

The addition passed on a standing vote of 53-30. The $600,000 was the amount the budget committee had cut from the school board’s recommendation.

Members of the budget committee tried earlier to move the entire warrant unchanged. That motion failed a secret ballot vote, 53-40.

Committee members said the proposed salaries for administrators at Winchester’s soon-to-be formed administrative unit are too high, and district officials are expecting unrealistic revenues from the cash-strapped state government.

Budget committee member Brian Moser put the Winchester School Board on the spot, asking each member to commit to cutting expenditures if the state falls short of its promises.
“If the state tells us they’re cutting their aid, we’ll make those cuts, but we don’t have to make those cuts today,” board member Kevan Whippie said.

His fellow board members deferred, saying they don’t see it as a yes or no question, and they’ll have to wait and see.

Kenneth Gardner, a member of the board of selectmen, told the voters their answers now don’t matter anyway. Once a budget is passed, the board has authority to spend the amount on the ballot, he said.

“They don’t have to cut ... You will make it up in your taxes unless they decide to cut,” Gardner said.

Whippie went on to make a passionate plea for the voters to support the budget increase, citing recent growth in Winchester students’ achievement.

“Increases in performance only come when kids know they are invested in,” he said, eliciting applause from one side of the aisle in the gym.

Voting will be held on Tuesday, March 8 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Winchester Town Hall.

The Budget Committee's hard work was all in vain!  They were allowing an additional $500,000.00 above last year's school budget by placing the amount at $10,500,000.  But Kevin Whippie was determined to at another $4.60 per thousand to our tax bills.  NICE!

Process Was Flawed

On Monday, Jan. 3, I attended the Winchester Planning Board meeting where one of the items on the agenda was the vote to approve the proposed asphalt plant.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The board voted to approve the plant, but the reasons for my disappointment stem more from the following:

1. A member of the planning board seemed to abandon any pretense of impartiality as evidenced by his repeated eye contact with (including eye rolls) and nods toward the applicant’s representative (Robert Snedeker) as each issue was discussed. I had the uneasy suspicion the board member was acting as an agent for the applicant. The board member is well entitled to his position, but for appearance’s sake, he could have waited for the vote.

2. At one of the public meetings, the chairperson stressed that the asphalt plant was the matter to be considered and not the existing gravel pit. And yet, at this meeting the gravel pit’s runoff survey was pushed as sufficient guarantee that chemicals or contaminated soil and water wouldn’t make their way into the Ashuelot River. The contention that there should be a new survey done because there would be a new structure on the site was raised by a board member, however, the board still decided to accept the gravel pit’s certification.

Which brings me to my third, and last reason — the blissfully offered “guarantees” that the facility will be safe to the environment and surrounding residents. I continue to be very uncomfortable with language like “chances of (accidental spills) happening are practically zero,” that chemical runoff “wouldn’t go into the river,” that the ground “is impervious, and besides, there’ll be concrete,” or that someone somewhere said that “asphalt isn’t a toxic substance.”

I would hate for these to be famous last words.
