Attorney Mark Dunn, representing Mrs. Cassetta, stated that Mrs. Cassetta kept a log of traffic coming in and out of her property and there were no more than 5 cars a day in and out.
Abutter Valerie Hall explained that in the past the Board has denied animal care, horse and dog care, and kennels on this road. She was concerned that kennels are typically in the commercial zone. This home houses many animals, dogs, geese, chickens, roosters and the likes of other animals, this is a residential zone and she feels this is not a home occupation.

Secretary Deachman will call Mr. Losey to see if he can come to the next meeting to discuss what kind of memorial for Pauline.

Chairman Scott thinks that we should get back into CNHRPC, because of all the new construction in surrounding towns.
