Meeting held on June 24, 2008 6:30 pm at Town Hall
Members present: Mark Sprague, Andrea Gilbert, William Brookings
344 Sugar Rd. Public Hearing
Request for Variance for Distance from Well - Well Location Requirement 4.1(1) for 12x20 shed.
Scott Toth was present. Mr. Toth brought the copies of the certified receipts, return receipts and the newspaper advertisement.
Mr. Toth explained that the shed will be located 10 ft from the well on grade on cement blocks. He said that the shed would have a double door on the front and a door on the side. The shed will be used for storage and a lawn mower.
As presented the board is OK with it as shown on plan, however, there was some confusion as to the actual location of the well and wetlands on the plans. The Board recommended that Bill Brookings go on site Friday morning to verify the measurements to the well.
The Board voted unanimously to continue the variance hearing until the measurements are verified from the well and the wetlands buffer zone. The hearing is scheduled for July 8, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
715-717 719-723 Main St. - Smith Property
Attorney Douglas Rowe was present.
Mr. Rowe explained the following changes he proposed to the Smith Family Trust Enforceable Agreement
Item 2 and Item 5 changed slightly from the original
If not done within 2 years tear the buildings down changes to if they pump the systems out and they have a year to resolve. The title five failed on February 4, 2005 so the enforceable agreement can only be extended to 2010 (5 years).
Item 2 Within two (2) years from the date of this agreement changes to By February 4, 2010. Strike demolished and use secured instead.
Item 5 changes the timeline if the property changes hands to allow 1 year to resolve a new septic
The agreement should be addressed to the JLS family trust instead of the Smith Family
In addition, Mr. Rowe wanted the document not to be recorded. Mark Sprague explained that it needed to be part of the deed so that all buyers would know that the agreement existed.
Once the agreement is updated with the changes, copies will be emailed to Attorney Doug Rowe. Attorney Rowe will get signatures, notarize the document and forward a recorded copy to the Board.
The Board voted to allow the changes to the existing Enforceable Agreement and have it recorded and returned to the Board by the next meeting on July 7, 2008.
