7:30            MEET WITH MR. SPICER:  David and Patricia Spicer met with the board.    Mr. Spicer
                     stated that they would like to file a complaint with regard to Peter Florence’s trailer
                     camp on Rt. 119 across the street from his land that he recently subdivided.  Mr. Spicer
                     stated that there are two trailers a tent trailer and four tents.   A written complaint is
                     enclosed.   Mr. Spicer stated he feels this property is in violation of the land use code.  
                     He feels this qualifies as a trailer camp.  There are also wetlands issues and health and
                     safety issues.  Mr. Spicer stated that they had a closing scheduled for last Friday
                     morning,  the prospective buyer went to view the land prior to the closing and there was
                     a party going on there.  This prospective buyer backed out of this deal.     

                     RSA 216 defines recreational campgrounds.  216:13 partial exemption for recreational
                     uses.  This refers to only being able to use a travel trailer on a private parcel of land for
                     a seven day period.   Mr. Spicer does not feel that they have complied with this State
                    Statue.

                   Sunday.  The board will have to determine how we will need to pursue enforcing this.     
                    Mrs. Thompson stated that she spoke with our health officer and the State Statues do
                   allow a privy.  

                    Mrs. Thompson will contact Tom Mullins with regard to enforcement with this property.
