MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE VIENNA PLANNING BOARD

January 27, 2021

The meeting convened at the Town House at 7:00 PM. Regular members present were Waine Whittier, Creston Gaither, Alan Williams, Ed Lawless, and Tim Bickford. Minutes of the December 9 meeting were read and accepted.

Waine noted that at the December meeting the four members present were sworn in for three-year terms. Alan was likewise sworn in separately not long afterward.

Waine reported on an inquiry involving house construction on land shown on tax map 11 as Lot 5. It appears that the site is more than 250 feet from the pond, so only a Notification of Construction permit will be required.

The status of solar installations was discussed. It was agreed 5 – 0 that if the panels are free-standing they do in fact constitute a “structure” as defined in the Notification of Construction Ordinance. But would not do so if installed on the roof of another structure and thus would not require a permit.

The meeting adjourned at 7:30 PM.
