CONSULTATION: Dave Paviglio
Building Inspector
Mr. Paviglio had some questions regarding wetland setbacks and crossing them, Chairman Scott, feels that the State Wetlands Bureau will get involved and it will be resolved at the state level. If Mr. Paviglio is uncomfortable with measuring distances from the edge of the wetlands the town does have an Engineering Firm with a wetlands scientists and if it were in question the landowner would be responsible for the cost of the fee charged to plot the area. Mr. Paviglio thanked the Board for their help and the Board thanked Mr. Paviglio for coming.

TOWN OF CHICHESTER PLANNING BOARD MEETING 2/5/04 PAGE 3
Mr. Valenze would prefer the Board not allow this home occupation as it would devaluate abutting property and the noise level would be out of control. Ms. Reide was content with the discussion and approved of the home occupation. A letter was received from an abutter stating she feels that it would be a negative impact in the residentially zoned area. The Chairman explained that this is open space wetlands and rural agricultural zoned property and dog boarding is an acceptable home occupation. The Chairman also explained that if the animal noise got out of control Mr. Valenze could call the police or the Selectmen and complain.
Motion was made to accept the home occupation.
