There was no one to speak for or against the application. The public hearing closed at 2:17 PM T. Baker noted that on the plan the block numbers for properties on Water Street are labeled wrong with 223 and should be corrected to 233 for correct record. N. Schwarz noted if fire suppression or domestic water is needed please contact the Laconia Water Department. B. Benson noted they are going to keep it under what is allowed. Motion to approve the application with a condition to raise at least the addition above the flood plain made by A. Graton, T. Baker seconded. All voted in favor. 8. OTHER BUSINESS 8.I. Discussion Of Extensions D. Trefethen brought up an application that was approved a year ago and the project hasn't moved forward yet. He stated other boards have expirations and asked the Committee if they would want to put a limit of the decisions since there is nothing in the procedures. He still needs to discuss with Legal Counsel on what is advisable but was curious what this board thought. 9. ADJOURNMENT With no other business before the board, the meeting adjourned at 2:23 PM Respectfully, K. Graham
