Chichester Board of Selectmen
SELECTMEN’S MINUTES
June 29, 2004
PRESENT: Chairman Colbert, Selectman DeBold, Selectman MacCleery and Administrator Lisa Stevens
Chairman Colbert opened the meeting at 7:00pm.
SUBJECT: Junkyard Violation – Cross Road
PRESENT: Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Hebert and Eddie Hebert
Mr. Hebert asked to meet with the Board of Selectmen to discuss his views on the junkyard issue presently taking place between himself and an abutter to his property.
Mr. Hebert had requested his abutter be present for this meeting. The Jameson’s are out of town on vacation and not able to attend. Mr. Jameson did submit a letter to the Board which he asked to be shared with Mr. Hebert.
Mr. Hebert presented the Board of Selectmen with pictures and registrations for the unregistered vehicles located on his property. From this documentation, it appears Mr. Hebert is allowed five unregistered vehicles due to the fact that they are antique vehicles. Under the State Statute, the law allows for five (5) unregistered antique vehicles on ones property.
Mr. Hebert will remove the one vehicle he is over the limit on and construct a fence or place shrubbery to obscure the view of the cars from his neighbor’s yard.
Mr. Hebert would like the Selectmen to view his property to see where the vehicles are located. A site visit to Mr. Hebert’s property was scheduled for Tuesday, July 6, at 6:30pm.
