UPDATE
ON DURHAM REAL ESTATE
ACTIVITY
Durham resident and realtor Alyson Mueller
has been reviewing the Quarter 1 data for
real estate sales in Durham. There are
some interesting figures to note, especially
when comparing the data to Quarter 1 of
2010. Year to date market statistics
for Durham include 41 new residential
listings while last year there were only 34
new properties during the first quarter of
2010 . Since January 1, 2011, 13
properties have gone under contract, while 10
properties have sold.
When looking at the homes that have sold, the
average selling price is $329,590, up by more
than 3% from Quarter 1 of 2010. The
average days on market for homes that have
sold is 127, also up from last year’s
average days on market of
93.

DURHAM
TRUSTEES FINALIZE DESIGN FOR NEW
LIBRARY
Cost to Town Estimated at
$2.7
Million
The
Durham Town Board of Library Trustees have
finalized the design for a new library, which
is estimated to cost the town just under $2.7
million in local tax dollars. A bond vote
seeking town approval could be requested to
be included on the ballot in March
2012.
For
the past six months the Trustees have worked
with a library consultant, a design-build
team, an all-volunteer Citizens Review
Committee, and the town elected leadership to
plan for the new library. Citizen input has
been sought at every step, and continues to
be vital to the project.
The
size of the library is expected to be about
10,500 square feet, somewhat smaller than
originally planned, although much larger than
the 3,000 square feet of the current library.
After a lot of had work and analysis, the
Trustees believe they will be able to
incorporate all the needs of the library in a
smaller space than originally projected. The
Trustees have endeavored to be very cost
conscious, and this adjustment allows them to
keep the cost to the town the same as the CIP
estimate the library board made last
year.
When
the town voted in 1997 to move the library
from UNH’s Dimond Library to the
storefront in Mill Plaza, it was intended to
be a short-term solution until a more
suitable location could be found. More than
20 sites were researched, but all had
insurmountable obstacles.
Finally,
in early September of last year, using funds
provided by private donors over the years,
the Town Council unanimously voted to
purchase the handsome home of Dr. Arthur
DiMambro, along with 2.8 acres of
land.
Located
at 49 Madbury Road, the attractive brick
building and its park-like setting are
situated near the middle and high schools and
a short distance from the downtown business
area.
The
Trustees expect to add another $2.1 million
from private sources for the library project,
over half of which has already been
raised.
If
all proceeds according to plan, the new
library will open in the spring or summer of
2013.

DURHAM
DEVELOPS “VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER”
SURVEY WITH ASSISTANCE FROM UNH POLITICAL
SCIENCE CLASS
For some time, I have wanted to conduct a
“Voice of the Customer” survey in
Durham but due to time and resource
constraints we have been unable to develop
and administer such a survey instrument
– until now! UNH Political
Science Professor Roslyn Chavda and her class
at UNH Manchester will be working with me to
develop a survey to help gauge how well local
government in Durham is meeting
residents’ needs. It is likely
that this will be an “in person”
survey in which some percentage of the
community is randomly selected for
participation. The class hopes to
complete the survey process and report out
results by the first week in
May.

DURHAM’S
PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAYS
PROGRAM
In early 2009, the Strafford Regional
Planning Commission (SRPC) started a proposed
Scenic Byways application process for Route
108 starting in Newmarket at the Newfields
town line and running north through Durham,
turning right at the Historic Courthouse, and
heading north again through Madbury and
Dover. In downtown Dover, the proposed byway
would turn right and head northeast on Route
4 to the Maine line in Rollinsford. The
approximate length is 15
miles.
Originally,
the SRPC had involvement from each of the
communities along the proposed route. Various
groups within each community had been
contacted and attended several meetings of
the proposed byway group.
Unfortunately, resource limitations,
prevented the SRPC from moving the project
forward until this year.
The
vision of the Federal Highway
Administration's National Scenic Byways
Program is "To create a distinctive
collection of American roads, their stories
and treasured places." Its mission is
to provide resources to the byway communities
in creating a unique travel experiences and
enhanced local quality of life through
efforts to preserve, protect, interpret, and
promote the intrinsic qualities of designated
byways. There are 150 such designated Byways
in 46 states.
It
is a voluntary, grassroots program. It
recognizes and supports outstanding roads. It
provides resources to help manage the
intrinsic qualities within the broader Byway
corridor to be treasured and shared. Perhaps
one of the underlying principles for the
program has been articulated best by the
Byway leader who said, "the program is about
recognition, not
regulation."
The
National Scenic Byways Discretionary Grants
program provides funding for byway-related
projects each year, as part of the Federal
Highway Administrations Discretionary Grants
Program.
This
program appears consistent with our Town
Council goals and community character and as
such, unless I hear objections, I do plan to
indicate to the SRPC that Durham is
interested in participating once again as
part of the program. It is likely that
the Durham Historic District
Commission/Heritage Commission would be asked
to participate as part of this program should
the members have an interest in doing
so.

BALLOON
TEST DONE FOR PROPOSED CELLULAR TOWER AT
LAROCHE
FARM
The Zoning Board of Adjustment is considering
a variance for Metro PCS for a cell tower
request on the LaRoche Farm at 37-41 Bennett
Road near the Sugar Shack location. A bright
orange balloon was sent up to the proposed
height this past Thursday, April 7th from 7am
to 9am for a “SIGHT” drive by.
The photograph above depicts the
scene.
I
did drive Route 108/Newmarket Road
and could not identify the balloon
in the distance looking toward LaRoche Farm
while simultaneously driving. I then
drove Bennett Road and had to drive up to the
sugar shack access road before I could
see the orange balloon – and
only then after Ray LaRoche, Jr. pointed it
out to me.
The
proposed cellular tower is proposed
to be disguised as a Colorado White
Pine.

REPORT
ON LAMPREY RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
MEETING WITH
NHDES
The UNH/Durham Water System (UDWS) managers
met with representatives of the New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services(NHDES)
at 10:00 AM on Wednesday April 6, 2011, in
the Durham Town Hall Council Chambers, to
review the Draft Lamprey River Water
Management and Dam Management Plans which
will ultimately replace the Town’s 401
Water Quality Certificate which regulates
flows and withdrawals along the Lamprey River
by the Town of Durham and the University of
New Hampshire. Ultimately, both a
Lamprey River Water Management Plan and a Dam
Management Plan for operation of the Wiswall
Dam will be adopted by the Commissioner of
NHDES placing operational limitations on
withdrawals along this river. At this
time, NHDES staff are in the process of
reviewing and considering input provided by
the UDWS.
Four
Town Council members as well as members of
the public attended Wednesday’s
discussion which was taped for DCAT broadcast
and streaming on the Town’s web site
at http://dcat.pegcentral.com/
NHDES
staff will take Wednesday’s feedback
and integrate it to the extent possible given
tight timelines on the state’s part
into a document which will be discussed with
the public at a public hearing at 7:00 p.m.
on May 11, 2011, at NH Fish and Game in
Durham. Durham residents who have
an interest in this topic should plan to
attend the May 11th public
hearing.
Residents
may view the draft documents which were
discussed with NHDES on April 6th right on
the Town’s home page at http://ci.durham.nh.us/

SUPERVISORS
OF THE
CHECKLIST
Every
10 years in the year ending with the
number 1, the Supervisors of the
Checklist in every community in New Hampshire
are required by RSA 654:39 to verify
their checklists. Any person on the
checklist who has not voted in the last four
years (unless they have registered since
November 2, 2010) will be sent a letter
informing them that their name will be
removed from the
checklist.
On
Wednesday, April 13, 2011 from 7:00
– 7:30 PM, Durham's Supervisors of the
Checklist will meet to determine
who will be on this list. Within a
couple of weeks after that date, removal
notification letters will
be mailed. In order to stay on the
checklist, persons receiving a removal
notification letter may
re-register at the Town Hall until June
29, 2011. After that date, the
remaining names will be removed permanently
from the checklist. At that point,
anyone wishing to vote in Durham must
re-register either at the Town Hall or at any
election, just as if they are first-time
voters in Durham. When re-registering,
prospective voters should bring proof of
identity and domicile.
Most
of the people who have not voted in four
or more years are UNH students who have
moved on. Since the implementation of
the statewide voter checklist, the removal of
such students has become much more
thorough. If a person moves to another
town and registers to vote within the State
of New Hampshire, that person is
automatically removed from Durham’s
checklist. However, other states are
not as good as New Hampshire
about informing previous domiciles about
a change in voter status. If your
household receives a letter from the town
addressed to an adult child who has moved
away and registered to vote elsewhere, or
addressed to the previous occupant of your
home, please do not forward the
letter. Those persons whom the
supervisors have not heard from by June
29 will automatically be removed from the
checklist.

the Board of Selectmen, (my former
professor and now
friend) responding to John
Harrison's good suggestion that the selectmen
make a State of the Town Address, said, 'The
State of the Town is good. The Selectmen have
gone after all the Federal and State money
they can get. They have not been making wild
requests. As far as growth is concerned, as
you look around the Town you will find that
it is not an unattractive place to live. In
summary, the state of Durham is good because
the people of Durham have wanted to make it
good'." Published in 1985 by the
Durham Historic
Association.
