         3.13     Individual Waste Disposal System: Any sewage disposal and/or treatment system, other than the
                  municipal sewage disposal system or a public sewage disposal system.


         3.14     Individual Water Supply System: Any water supply system which provides potable water,
                  other than the municipal water system or a public water system.


         3.15     Licensed Land Surveyor: A person who engages in the practice of land surveying and is licensed by
                  the State of New Hampshire under RSA 310-A:53.


         3.16     Lot: See Zoning Ordinance.


         3.17     Lot Line: See Zoning Ordinance.


         3.18     Lot Line Adiustment: Shall mean the movement of a property boundary line which involves the
                  exchange of abutting land among two or more parcels, without increasing the number of lots. For
                  the purpose of these regulations, the merging of lots is considered a lot line adjustment. A lot line
                  adjustment may not create a non-conforming lot where a lot was previously conforming, and a lot
                  line adjustment may not increase the non-conformity of an already non-conforming lot.


         3.19     Minor Subdivision: The division of a lot, tract, or parcel of land which would create three or less
                .''building lots, and which does not require the installation of any new streets or roads (public or
                  private) or the extension of any municipally owned utilities (sewer and water).


         3.20     Plat: Plat shall mean the final map or drawing on which the applicant's plan of subdivision is
                  presented to the New Castle Planning Board for approval and which, if approved, shall be submitted
                  to the Rockingham County Registry of Deeds for recording. For the purpose of these regulations, the
                  term "plan" will be used instead of "plat"; these two terms shall be considered synonymous
                  throughout these regulations.


         3.21     Street: See Zoning Ordinance.


         3.22     Subdivision: As set forth in RSA 672:14, subdivision means the division of a lot, tract, or parcel of
                  land into two or more lots, plats, sites, or other divisions of land for the purpose, whether immediate
                  or future, of sale, rent, lease, condominium conveyance or building development. The term includes
                  resubdivision, and when appropriate to the context, relates to the process of subdividing or to the
                  land or territory subdivided. The division of a parcel of land held in common and subsequently divided
                  into parts among several owners shall be deemed a subdivision. The grant of utility easements to
                  a public utility for the purpose of maintaining transmission or distribution facilities shall not be
                  construed as a subdivision.




                                                                3

                   take place at a public meeting of the board, following required notice to the abutters and the general
                   public.


           3.24    Town Engineer: The duly designated engineer of the Town of New Castle or, if there is no such
                   official, the planning consultant or official assigned by the selectmen.

           SECTION 4 - GENERAL PROVISIONS


           4.1     The provisions of these regulations shall apply to all land within the boundaries of the Town of New
                   Castle. No newly subdivided lots shall be conveyed or sold within the corporate limits of the
                   municipality until:


                   4.1.1 The Planning Board has given final approval of the subdivision plan after a public hearing and
                           after the Board Chairman (or designee) has affixed his/her signature on the approved plan;


                   4.1.2   The applicant has complied with all of the regulations herein, including the posting of
                           appropriate performance guarantees; and


                  -4.1.3   The approved plan is filed with the Rockingham County Registry of Deeds.


           4.2     Land of such character that it cannot, in the judgment of the Board, be safely used for building
                   development purposes because of exceptional danger to health or peril from fire, flood, poor drainage,
                   excessive slope, or other hazardous conditions, shall not be platted for subdivision, nor for such other
                   uses as may increase danger to life or property, or aggravate the flood hazard. Land with inadequate
                   characteristics or capacity for sanitary sewage disposal shall not be subdivided unless connected to
                   a municipal sewerage system.



           SECTION 5 - SUBDIVISION PROCEDURES


           5.1 PREAPPLICATION REVIEW (OPTIONAL)


                   5.1.1 General


                   Preapplication review consists of one or both of two review stages; conceptual consultation and
                   design review. Both stages are optional, and are non-binding on both the applicant and the planning
                   board. Both stages are strongly encouraged by the planning board in that they provide opportunities
                   for the applicant to identify potential problems with the development concept, and their potential


                                                                   4

                  solutions, before investments are made on the design and engineering plans for a specific proposal.


                  The purpose of the preapplication review is to provide an opportunity for the board and the applicant
                  to discuss a proposal without any binding decisions being made by either the board or the applicant.
                  Statements made by planning board members at preapplication discussions cannot be used to
                  disqualify them during review of the completed application or as the basis for invalidating any future
                  action of the board. The applicant may decline to participate in the preapplication phases and begin
                  the review process by filing a completed application. There are no statutory time limits for these
                  phases but the applicant may choose, at any time, to curtail the preapplication process and file a
                  completed application to trigger the required review.


                  5.1.2  Conceptual Consultation


                  1      The applicant may request a meeting with the Board to discuss a proposal in conceptual form
                         and in general terms. Such preapplication consultation shall be informal and directed toward:


                         a.      Reviewing the basic concepts of the proposal.


                         b.      Reviewing the proposal with regard to the master plan and zoning ordinance.


                         C.      Explaining the local regulations that may apply to the proposal.


                         d.      Determination of the proposal as a major or minor subdivision, and,


                         e.      Guiding the applicant relative to state and local requirements.


                         f.      Describing the procedures to be followed for the filing, submission acceptance and
                                 review of a completed application.


                  2.     Preliminary conceptual consultation shall not bind the Applicant or the Board.            Such
                         discussion may occur without formal public notice, but must occur only at a posted meeting
                         of the Board.


                  3.     Neither the applicant nor the planning board may proceed beyond a general conceptual
                         discussion of the proposal until the abutters and the general public have been notified.


                  5.1.3  Design Review


                  1 .    Prior to submission of an application for Board action, an applicant may request to meet with
                         the Board or its designee for non-binding discussions beyond the conceptual and general,
                         involving more specific design and engineering details of the potential application.



                                                                5

           Revision Date:   August 4, 1994



                    2.      Design review is intended to assure that the essential characteristics of the site and specific
                            requirements of local regulations are thoroughly reviewed and understood before the final
                            design is prepared.


                    3.      The design review phase may proceed only after identification of and notice to abutters and
                            the general public as required by RSA 676:4,1(d).


                    4.      Those wishing to engage in preapplication design review, shall submit a "Request for
                            Preapplication Review" (Attachment 1) and associated fees not less than 15 days before a
                            regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. The request shall include:


                            a.      List of abutters and their addresses from municipal records not more than 5 days
                                    before submission,


                            b.      fees to cover abutter notification and advertising costs,


                            C.      a site location map placing the parcel in the larger context of the community (Exhibit
                                    1);


                            d.      a site survey showing pertinent features of the site;


                            e.      an indication of any future subdivisions contemplated in or adjacent to the proposal;


                            f.      a topographic map of the area;


                            9.      any soils information, percolation, or boring data that has been gathered; and


                            h.      a sketch showing the proposed layout of lots, streets, and recreations areas;
                                    watercourses; natural features; and easements.


                    5.      Statements made by Board members shall not be the basis for disqualifying said members or
                            invalidating any action eventually taken on the application.


                    6.      The Board shall not accept a completed application by the Applicant at a meeting that was
                            noticed and posted only for design review.



           5.2      FORMAL APPLICATION


                    5.2.1 Application Filing, Submission and Acceptance Procedures


                            1 .     Applications for subdivision shall be filed with the Planning Board. (Application forms


                                                                   6

                                   are available at the Town Hall.) A completed application sufficient to invoke jurisdic-
                                   tion of the Board shall be filed with the Board (or its designee) at least 15 days prior
                                   to the next scheduled meeting of the Board. Applications determined to be incom-
                                   plete shall not be accepted by the Board for jurisdiction.


                           2.      A completed application shall include all information required by these regulations and
                                   necessary to allow the Board to proceed with consideration and to make an informed
                                   decision. The completed application shall also include all required fees as set forth
                                   in Section 11.


                           3.      Subsequent to filing, applications that are determined to be complete shall be
                                   submitted to and accepted by the Board only at a regular meeting after due
                                   notification has been given to the applicant, abutters and the general public as
                                   required by RSA 676:4, I(d). The acceptance of the application by the Board shall
                                   be made by affirmative vote of the majority of members present.


                           4.      Applications that have been accepted may be disapproved by the Board without
                                   public hearing on the grounds of failure of the applicant to supply information or to
                                   pay fees as required by these regulations or to meet reasonable deadlines established
                                   by the Board.


                   5.2.2 Public Hearing and Notice Requirements


                   Before acting on a completed subdivision application, the Board shall hold a public hearing to discuss
                   the merits of the application and receive testimony from abutters or any person with a direct interest
                   in the matter. Per RSA 676:4, I(d) the public notice for public hearing shall be carried out as follows:


                   1 .     The Board shall notify the abutters and the applicant by certified mail of the date that the
                           application will be considered for acceptance by the Board. Notice shall be mailed at least
                           ten (10) days prior to the meeting date.


                   2.      The public shall be given notice at the same time by posting the hearing notice at the New
                           Castle Town Hall and at the Town Bulletin Board at the New Castle Post Office and shall be
                           published in the Portsmouth Herald or other newspaper of general circulation in the Town.


                   3.      The notice shall give the date, time, and place of the Planning Board meeting at which the
                           Application or other item(s) will be formally submitted to the Board, shall include a general
                           description of the proposal which is to be considered, and shall identify the applicant and the
                           location of the proposal (See Attachment 4b).


                   4.      If the notice for the public hearing was included in the notice of submission or any prior
                           notice, additional notice of the public hearing is not required. Additional notice is not required


                                                                   7

                           of an adjourned session of a hearing provided that the date, time, and place of the adjourned
                           session was made known at the prior meeting.


                   5.      It shall be the Applicant's responsibility to supply the names and addresses of all abutters
                           (current within 5 days of the application filing) upon filing the applications with the Board.
                           All costs of the notice, whether mailed, posted or published shall be paid in advance by the
                           Applicant.


                   6.      The planning board may elect to continue a public hearing for further deliberation and
                           consideration of testimony from one meeting to another. For more than one continuance, the
                           Planning Board may consider renotifying abutters as considered necessary. Whenever there
                           has been an extension of the 90 day review period, the Planning Board shall renotify abutters
                           and the public of the meeting at which final action on the application is anticipated.


                   5.2.3   Procedures for Minor Subdivisions


                   1 .     The Applicant may meet the Board for preapplication consultation to determine if the proposal
                           qualifies as a Minor Subdivision as defined in Section 3.0 of these regulations. If so, the
                           applicant shall submit a Completed Application as required in Section 5.2.


                   2.      Notice of Submission shall be given and may be combined with the Notice of Public Hearing,
                           if one is to be held.


                   3.      The Completed Application under this Section may be submitted and approved at one or more
                           Board meetings but no application shall be approved without notice to abutters and the
                           public. A public hearing shall be held only if requested by the applicant or abutters, or if the
                           Board determines to hold a hearing.


                   5.2.4 Board Action on Completed Application


                   The Board shall begin formal consideration of a subdivision application within thirty (30) days after
                   submission and acceptance of the completed application. This consideration may begin on the same
                   night as the application is accepted by the Board. Within ninety (90) days after submission and
                   acceptance of a completed subdivision application, the Board shall act to either approve, conditionally
                   or disapprove said application. In cases where a subdivision application has been disapproved, the
                   grounds for such disapproval shall be clearly stated in the minutes of the Board's meeting and in
                   written notice to the applicant.


                   5.2.5 Extensions


                   The Board may apply to the Board of Selectmen for an extension not to exceed an additional ninety
                   (90) days before acting on an accepted subdivision application. An applicant may waive the


                                                                  8

                 requirement for Planning Board action within the time periods specified in Section 5.2.4, and consent
                 in writing, to such extensions as may be mutually agreeable to both the Board and the applicant. In
                 such an event, no application to the Board of Selectmen is required.


                 Whenever there has been any extension(s) of the 90 day review period, the Planning Board shall
                 renotify abutters and the public when final action of the application is anticipated.


                 5.2.6 Failure to Act


                 Upon failure of the Board to act on a subdivision application in accordance with Section 6.2.3 of
                 these regulations, the Board of Selectmen shall, upon request of the applicant, immediately issue an
                 order directing the Planning Board to act on the application within thirty (30) days as per RSA

         7.1.3   Character of Land: All land to be subdivided shall be, in the. judgement of the Board, of such
                 character that it can be used for building purposes without danger to public health, safety, or the
                 environment. Land subject to periodic flooding, poor drainage or other hazardous conditions, shall
                 not ordinarily be subdivided. Land with inadequate capacity for sanitary sewage disposal shall not
                 be subdivided unless connected to the municipal sewage system.


         7.1.4   Preservation of Existing Features: Subdivision plans shall endeavor to preserve existing natural and
                 cultural features such as wetlands, watercourses, waterbodies, floodplains, steep slopes, aquifer
                 recharge areas, large or unique trees, wildlife habitats, scenic views and historic landmarks. The
                 street and lot layout shall bear a logical relationship and be adapted to the topography of the site.
                 Extensive grading and filling is discouraged and should be avoided to the greatest extent possible.


         7.1.5   Restrictions and/or Covenants: If the owner places restrictions and/or covenants on any portion of
                 the land within the subdivision greater than those required by these regulations or the Zoning
                ,,@Ordinance, such restrictions and/or covenants shall be referenced on the plan. The Board reserves
                 the right to review, or have its attorney review, the proposed restrictions and/or covenants to ensure
                 that they are not adverse to the public health, safety and general welfare and that such restrictions
                 and/or covenants do not violate any local regulations or ordinances. All costs of legal review shall
                 be paid by the applicant per RSA 676:4,1(g).



         7.2 DESIGN STANDARDS


         An applicant shall use the following design standards when designing and laying out a subdivision plan.
         These principles and requirements shall be construed as the minimum requirements. The Board, at its
         discretion, may require higher standards in individual cases, or may waive certain requirements for good
         cause in accordance with the procedures outlined in these regulations.


                 7.2.1  Street Desian


                 1.      Platting of Streets: The arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall provide for the logical
                         and safe continuation of the existing street network, or of their proper projection when
                         adjoining property is not subdivided, and shall be of a width at least as great as that of such
                         existing streets, but no less than a forty (40) foot right-of-way. Where, in the opinion of the


                                                                17

           Revision Date:   August 4, 1994



                            Board, topographical conditions make such continuance or conformity impractical, the Board
                            may permit dead-end streets as described below.


                    2.      Dead-End Streets and Cul-De-Sac:


                            a.       Permanent dead-end streets shall not exceed 600 feet in length, and shall terminate
                                     in a turn-around 100 feet in diameter, or other acceptable design.


                            b.       Temporary dead-end streets, where future extension to another street is approved by
                                     the Board, or where indicated on the Town plan, may exceed 600 feet in length. In
                                     such cases, the full width of the right of way to the subdivision property line shall be
                                     dedicated to the municipality.


                    3.      Public Ways and Private Rights of Way: The Board shall not approve the creation of private
                            rights of way to a lot in a proposed subdivision unless, due to the parcel's configuration, a
                            hardship would be imposed and then only one lot shall be served by said right of way. No
                            private right-of-way shall be less than forty (40) feet in width and may be required to be more
                            if deemed appropriate by the Board. Each newly created lot shall be provided with its own
                            driveway access to a street unless otherwise approved by the Board.


                    4.      Future Subdivision: Where the plan submitted covers only a part of the subdivider's entire
                            tract or landholding, a sketch of the prospective future street system of the unsubmitted part
                            shall be furnished to the Board and the street system of the part submitted shall be
                            considered in light of the street system of the part not yet submitted.


                    5.      Access: Reserve strips controlling access to streets shall not be permitted. The subdividing
                            of land shall provide each lot with access to an existing street.


                    6.      Street Signs, Names and Numbers:


                            a. At all intersections, street signs shall be provided and installed by the developer.


                            b.       Streets which join or are in alignment with streets of abutting or neighboring
                                     properties shall bear the same name. No proposed street name shall duplicate or
                                     have phonetic resemblance to existing street names within the Town.


                            C.       Street address numbers shall be assigned by the Town.


                    7.      Intersections: Except where it is impracticable because of the character of the land, streets
                            shall intersect so that, within 75 feet of the intersection, the street lines are at right angles,
                            and the grade within 50 feet does not exceed one percent. No structure or planting shall
                            impair corner visibility.


                                                                    18

                  8.      Existing Streets:


                          a.      Where a subdivision abuts an existing public street with an inadequate alignment, or
                                  right-of-way width, the subdivision plat shall include a dedication of land required to
                                  meet the standards established in these regulations.


                          b.      Where access to a subdivision depends on use of an existing public street or streets
                                  which, in the opinion of the Planning Board, is (are) sufficiently substandard to not
                                  safely accommodate the additional traffic caused by the proposed development, the
                                  subdivider shall improve such public street(s) or contribute to the improvement of
                                  such public street(s), in a sum equal to the proportionate use his subdivision will
                                  impose on said public street(s) assuming that all lands served by said public street(s)
                                  will eventually be similarly subdivided,


                  7.2.2 Driveways


                  All permits for driveways and other access points onto a State highway shall be obtained from the
                  NH Department of Transportation prior to final approval of the subdivision. The Planning Board shall
                  review and approve the proposed location of driveway access points on streets.



                  7.2.3 Sidewalks


                  The applicant may be required to install sidewalks, on one or both sides of each newly created street.
                  The planning board will determine the need for sidewalks based on existing or anticipated pedestrian
                  traffic, the volume of vehicular traffic safety consideration and connections to existing sidewalks.
                  Sidewalks shall be at least six (6) inches above grade and be protected by curbing. Sidewalk design
                  shall include means for handicapped access.



                  7.2.4 Drainace Improvements and Stormwater Management Plans


                  The Board may require the subdivider to provide engineering studies on the effect of such subdivision
                  activity on the existing downstream drainage facilities outside the subdivision boundaries. Unles    s an
                  exception is granted by the Board, the post-development surface water runoff rate(s) shall be equal
                  to the pre-development runoff rate(s).


                  Where it is determined that the additional runoff incidental to the development will overload or
                  significantly increase an existing downstream drainage facility, the Board may require the provision
                  of drainage easements or other improvements necessary to alleviate such problems. All required
                  drainage improvements and/or facilities shall be designed to accommodate a 25-year storm event.
                  Drainage calculations shall be prepared in conformance with the document, Stormwater Management


                                                                  19

                   prepared by the USDA Soil Conservation Service, as amended.


                   Plans shall include appropriate methods to extend and/or connect the proposed drainage system to
                   adjacent land whether or not such land is developed. Such plans shall also reasonably anticipate
                   upstream development and preserve natural watercourses within the basin.


                   7.2.5 Water Service


                   Municipal Water: All subdivisions shall provide public municipal water service. Installation of water
                   mains is subject to the approval of the Portsmouth or New Castle Department of Public Works as
                   appropriate to the water service area. The number and location of fire hydrants shall be determined
                   by the Fire Department. The Board shall reserve the right to inspect, or have its designated agent
                   inspect the installation of all water mains.


                   7.2.6  Sewage Disposal


                   1.       Municipal Sewage Disposal: All subdivisions shall provide municipal sewage disposal when
                            available or required by the Board. Installation of sewer lines is subject to the approval of the
                            New Castle Department of Public Works.


                   2.       On-Site Sewage Disposal Systems: Per RSA 485-A:29, no subdivision of land will be
                            approved where it creates a lot that will not meet the minimum standards imposed by the
                            Water Supply and Pollution Control Division of the NH Department of Environmental Services.
                            For on-site sewage disposal systems, the following design standards shall apply:


                            a.      Each lot shall accommodate its own sewage. For cluster developments each building
                                    shall have its own septic system.


                            b.      Systems are to be constructed in accordance with the most recent edition of the
                                    Subdivision and Individual Sewage Disposal System Design Rules as published by the
                                    NH Water Supply and Pollution Control Division of the Department of Environmental

                   7.2.7 Installation of Utilities


                   In all subdivision developments, the developer shall install all electric, telephone and other utility
                   distribution lines per specifications of the public utility companies involved. The developer shall
                   provide such easements as are necessary for the installation of such utilities.


                   7.2.8 Easements




                                                                   20

                 All easements shall be laid out on the subdivision plan and referenced in each affected deed, granting
                 necessary rights of access and maintenance. The following additional provisions shall apply:


                 1 . .   Utilities: Where the topography is such as to make difficult the inclusion of any utilities or
                         other facilities within the road rights-of-way, the subdivision plan shall show the boundaries
                         of the proposed permanent easements over or under private property. Such easements shall
                         not be less than ten 0 0) feet in width and shall have satisfactory access to existing or
                         proposed public rights-of way. The Planning Board may require wider easements when
                         deemed necessary.


                 2.      Drainage: Where a proposed subdivision is traversed by a watercourse or drainage way, the
                         Board may require a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way of at least ten (10) feet
                         in width. The Planning Board may require wider easement where deemed necessary.


                 7.2.9 Flood Hazard Areas


                 Subdivisions involving land designated as flood hazard areas shall be reviewed to determine whether
                 such proposals will be reasonably safe from flooding and shall meet the following requirements.


                         1 .     Permits: The Board shall review the proposal to assure that all necessary permits have
                                 been received from those government agencies from which approval is required by
                                 federal or State law including Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
                                 Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C 1334.


                         2.      Minimization of Flood Damage: Sufficient evidence (construction drawings, grading
                                 and land treatment plans) shall be submitted so as to allow the Board to determine
                                 that:


                                 a.      All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;


                                 b.      All public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water
                                         systems are located, and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage;


                                 C.      Adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards;
                                         and,


                                 d.      New and replacement water and sewer systems (including on-site systems)
                                         are located, designed, and constructed to minimize infiltration and avoid
                                         impairment.


                         3.      Elevation and Flood-Proofing Records: The applicant shall obtain and maintain records
                                 of elevations and flood-proofing levels for all new or substantially improved


                                                               21

                           4.      Alteration of Watercourses: The State Wetlands Board shall be notified prior to any
                                   alteration or relocation of a watercourse and copies of such notifications shall be
                                   submitted to the National Flood Insurance Program. The flood carrying capacity shall
                                   be maintained within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse.


                           5.      Floodplain Delineation: The base flood elevation (1 00-year flood) shall be delineated
                                   on all plans.


                   7.2.10 Oi)en St)ace


                           1 .     Buffer Strips: The Board may require the designation of buffer strips of at least fifty
                                   (50) feet width around surface water, wetlands or other natural features which may
                                   be adversely affected by erosion or stormwater runoff. The Board may require a
                                   vegetative buffer to provide screening.


                           2.      Parks: The Board may, where it deems essential, and where the need for the facility
                                   is reasonably related to the needs of the subdivision, require that the plat show one
                                   or more sites of character, size, shape and location suitable to be used as community
                                   open space or park, in area not to exceed 15 percent of the total area of the
                                   subdivision. In the case of cluster subdivision or planned unit development open
                                   space shall be not less in area than as provided in the zoning ordinance. Such areas
                                   of open space, whether privately or publicly owned, shall have a sufficient legal
                                   restriction recorded in the Town land records to assure permanence of use as open
                                   space. Open space land in private ownership shall be deeded in such a way that will
                                   assure operation or maintenance of the land in an orderly manner suitable for the
                                   purpose intended.


                           3.      Trees and Plantin_q: Due regard shall be given to preservation of existing features,
                                   trees, scenic points and other natural and historic resources within the subdivision.
                                   The Board may require additional tree planting and other landscaping appropriate to
                                   the area being developed. Removal of stripped top soil or surplus materials from the
                                   subdivision area shall not be permitted unless in accord with the zoning ordinance.
                                   Existing trees on lots and open space land shall be preserved wherever feasible, or
                                   unless otherwise directed by the Board. At its discretion, the Board may require the
                                   developer to plant shade trees within the street rights-of-way of a subdivision layout.
                                   The developer shall supply planting plans to the Board, who will seek an advisory
                                   opinion on said plans from the Conservation Commission.






                                                                 22

                  7.2.11 Monuments and Benchmarks


                           1 .      Monuments: Granite bounds shall be set on one sideline at all points of curvature and
                                    points of tangency. Such bounds shall also be set at the intersection of sidelines of
                                    existing or proposed streets.


                                    The size of said bounds shall be four inches by four inches by thirty inches (4" x 4"
                                    x 30"), with a three-eights inch (3/8") drill hole in the center. The developer shall
                                    excavate a hole sufficiently large enough to properly place the bounds securely in the
                                    ground. Iron pipes are to be furnished at all property line corners and angles. The
                                    size of said pipes shall be half an inch by thirty inches (1 /2" x 30"). Said pipes shall
                                    be driven into the ground at accurate locations, leaving two inches (2") exposed. All
                                    newly installed iron pins shall include a surveyor's "cap" in an effort to facilitate their
                                    location in the field.


                                    The locations of all bounds and pipes shall be shown on the subdivision plan, along
                                    with a note on the plan stating the date of installation. The applicant's surveyor shall
                                    certify in writing that the bounds and pipes have been installed according to the
                                    submitted plan.


                           2.       Benchmarks: As part of the subdivision plan a permanent reinforced granite marker
                                    may be required by the Board.



          SECTION 8 - PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE GUARANTEES


          8.1 POSTING OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES


          The Board of Selectmen shall set the amount of the performance guarantee prior to the final approval of the
          subdivision plan. The developer shall post such guarantee with the Town prior to any of the following
          actions: (1) issuance of a building permit; (2) the commencement of site work, or (3) the recording the
          approved plan with the Rockingham County Registry of Deeds. The guarantee shall cover the estimated cost
          of constructing and installing all required site improvements, including, but not limited to: street work,
          drainage facilities, water mains, sewer lines, and other utilities.
          The basis for determining the performance guarantee shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of all
          required site improvements, plus any other funds necessary for the completion of ancillary site work as
          conditioned by the Selectmen's approval. The Selectmen will accept the following methods of posting a
          performance guarantee:


                   1 .     Cash or a savings passbook held in the name of the Town and deposited with the Town
                           Treasurer;



                                                                   23











           DRAFT New Castle Subdivision Regulations
           Revision Date: August 4, 1994



                   2.       A bond issued by a guarantee company authorized to do business within the State of New
                            Hampshire, in an amount and manner acceptable to the Board; or


                   3.       A letter of credit in an amount and manner acceptable to the Board of Selectmen after
                            consultation with Town Counsel.


           As an alternative to posting a performance guarantee with the Town, the applicant may request approval of
           the final plan on the condition that all required improvements be constructed to Town standards prior to the
           Planning Board's signing of the plan. The Board, in granting this conditional approval, shall sign a covenant
           signifying its approval and intent to sign the plan once the improvements have been installed by the
           developer, and inspected and approved by the Town. In this case, the applicant shall still be required to
           follow the procedure for the posting of an inspection fee, as set forth in Section 11.4 of these regulations.


           8.2 RELEASE OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES


           Upon inspection of a partial completion of fequired improvements, the Board of Selectmen may authorize a
           reduction in the performance guarantee up to an amount equal to the work completed. The Town shall retain
           sufficient funds for the cost to complete the remaining improvements as indicated by a qualified contractor's
           bid estimate approved by the Board of Selectmen, plus a retainage of 20% of the original performance
           guarantee which shall be kept until all required improvements have been inspected and accepted by the
           Town. If the costs for completing the required improvements exceed the amount of the performance
           guarantee held by the Town, additional funds shall be required in order to ensure completion before the
           development proceeds any further. The developer shall post such guarantee within thirty (30) days of notice
           thereof. The retainage shall be held until the completion of all required improvements have been inspected
           and approved by the Board.


           Should progress toward the completion of all required improvements fall substantially behind the mutually
           agreed upon timetable, the Board of Selectmen may obtain a completion cost estimate from:


                   1 .      The developer's contractor; or


                   2.       A qualified contractor of the Board's choice.


           Installation of all required improvements shall be completed within two (2) years of the date of the final plan's
           approval unless the timeframe is extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the Board. If the required
           improvements are not satisfactorily installed within the mutually agreed upon timetable, the posted
           performance guarantee shall be forfeited by the applicant.


           Prior to the return of the balance of the performance guarantee, the subdivider shall submit to the Board
           .as-built" plansfor newly constructed public and/or private roads. The plans must include the provisions
           made for road drainage and any changes or additions subsequent to final Board approval. Submission of "as-
           built" plans is required before a street is formally accepted by the Town.


                                                                   24

         8.3 MAINTENANCE GUARANTEES


         For roads intended to be turned over to the Town, the Selectmen will not release the performance guarantee
         until a maintenance guarantee is in place. The maintenance guarantee will cover the maintenance of public
         roads and other public improvements for a period of two (2) years from the date of street acceptance by the
         Town, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the improvement costs. If repair or unusual maintenance is
         needed or additional improvements are required then such costs shall be drawn against said guarantee.



         SECTION 9 - WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS


         Specific requirements of the foregoing regulations may be waived or modified when, in the opinion of the
         Board, specific circumstances surrounding a subdivision, or condition of the land in such subdivision, indicate
         that such modifications will properly carry out the purpose and intent of the mater plan and these regulations.
         The applicant must request the modification or waiver in writing and state the reasons for the request. The
         Board's action and rational relative to the request shall be documented in the minutes of the meeting at which
         the request was considered.



         SECTION 10 - ENFORCEMENT, FINES, PENALTIES AND APPEALS


         10.1 ENFORCEMENT


         These regulations shall be enforced by the Board or its duly authorized agent. Should the Board or its duly
         authorized enforcement authority determine that a developer is proceeding contrary to these regulations or
         the terms of the "Subdivision Agreement" signed by the Developer and Planning Board, the Board or its
         authorized representative shall notify the developer of the specifics of such violation(s) and the appropriate
         steps, including a timetable, for remedying said violation(s). This notification procedure may include the
         issuance of a "cease and desist order", in accordance with the terms of RSA 676:17-a, as amended.


         10.2 FINES AND PENALTIES


         Any person, firm or corporation violating a provision of these regulations or the conditions of an approved
         subdivision plan or Subdivision Agreement, shall, in accordance with the terms of RSA 676:17, be subject
         to a civil penalty not to exceed $100.00 for each day that each violation is found to continue after the
         conviction date or after the date on which the violator receives written notice from the municipality that he
         is in violation, whichever is earlier.


         10.3 APPEALS


         In accordance with the terms of RSA 677:15, any person(s) aggrieved by any decision of the Board
         concerning a subdivision plan application may present to the superior court a petition, duly verified, setting


                                                               25

           forth that such decision is illegal or unreasonable in whole or in part and specifying the grounds upon which
           the same is claimed to be illegal or unreasonable. Such petition shall be presented to the court within thirty
           (30) days after the Board's final decision regarding the subdivision application in question.


           SECTION 11 - FEES


           11.1 SCHEDULE OF FEES:


           An Application filed for major subdivision (more than three lots) shall be accompanied by a filing fee of $ 250
           plus $ 50 per lot (or dwelling unit in the case of a cluster development). An application filed for minor
           subdivision (three or fewer lots), or a preapplication for design review, shall be accompanied by the filing fee
           of.$ 100.



           11.2    PAYMENT OF FEES: Filing fees shall be paid in advance by the Applicant. Failure to pay costs shall
                   constitute valid grounds for the Board to terminate further consideration of the application and to
                   disapprove the Plat without a public hearing.


           11.3    COSTS FOR SPECIAL STUDIES: Pursuant to RSA 676.4,1(g) it shall be the responsibility of the
                   applicant, if the Board deems it necessary, to pay reasonable fees for special investigative studies,
                   environmental assessments, legal review of documents, administrative expenses and other matters
                   which may be required to make an informed decision on a particular application. The Planning Board
                   may require the periodic deposit of fees to cover ongoing costs incurred by the Board for the conduct
                   of special studies.


           11.4    INSPECTION SERVICE FEES:


                   For all site improvements required as part of any subdivision approval by the Board, there shall be
                   deposited an inspection fee prior to final Board approval. This fee shall cover the cost of inspection
                   services to be provided by a Town appointed inspector (or his designated agent).


                   The Town's inspector shall monitor and inspect all required site improvements for compliance with
                   the approved plans and required engineering standards. The amount of said fee shall be determined
                   by the Board based upon a reasonable estimate of anticipated inspection costs. Site inspections shall
                   be conducted for up to the amount of the fee collected. Should the inspection fee collected be
                   insufficient to cover the remaining required site inspections, the Town will notify the developer to
                   cease further site development until additional funds have been deposited with the Town. Once all
                   required site development and all required site inspections have been completed, any unused portion
                   of the inspection fee shall be returned to the applicant.






                                                                 26

          SECTION 12 - VALIDITY


          12.1 INTERPRETATION


          In their interpretation and application, the provisions of these regulations shall be held to be the minimum
          requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare.


          12.2 CONFLICTING PROVISIONS


          Where any section of these regulations conflicts with another, or with any other local regulation or ordinance,
          the requirement imposing the greater restriction or higher standard shall apply. In addition, the fact that a
          requirement under these regulations is less restrictive than a federal or state regulation or statute does.not
          relieve an applicant from compliance with the terms of such regulation or statute, unless specifically
          authorized by said regulation or statute.


          12.3 SAVING CLAUSE


          If any section, clause, provision or portion of these regulations shall be held to be invalid or unconstitutional

                                                      PLAN SPECIFICATIONS


           1.      DESIGN STANDARDS


                   The following standards shall be applied in planning for erosion and sediment control:


                   A.      All erosion and sediment control measures in the plan shall meet the design standards and
                           specifications set forth in the "Erosion and Sediment Control Design Handbook for Developing
                           Areas of New Hampshire" as amended and adopted by the Rockingham County Conservation
                           District.


                   B.      Stripping of vegetation, regrading, or other development shall be done in such a way that will
                           minimize soil erosion. Whenever practical natural vegetation shall be retained, protected and
                           supplemented.


                   C.      Appropriate control measures shall be installed prior to removal of vegetation.


                   D.      Disturbed areas shall be kept to a minimum. Disturbed areas not in active development shall
                           be adequately stabilized.


                   E.      Measures shall be taken to control sediment and retain it within the projected area.
                           Provisions must be made to accommodate increased runoff caused by changed soil conditions
                           during and after development. Sediment in the runoff water shall be trapped by the use of
                           sediment basins or other acceptable methods until the disturbed area is stabilized.
                           Diversions, sediment retention basins, and other such devices shall be constructed prior to
