At this time the project violates current wetlands setbacks. The Board was in agreement to deny the project and suggest Mr. Pabst go to the Board of Adjustment.
Motion was made to deny, due to violation of wetlands setbacks.

DISCUSSION: Joe Austin
Elderly Housing
Map 3, Lot 68B, Trap and Dover Road
Mr. Austin came before the Board because he feels he cannot meet one of the conditions we had on final approval. The approval was to get State subdivision approval not State septic approval. The Board was in agreement.
Mr. Austin is also requesting a letter as to the reasoning for the Town Engineer to supervise the construction of the road and the amount of escrow needed for the supervision. Chairman Scott informed Mr. Austin as in all road construction the town has required the supervision of the Town Engineer. Letter to be drafted and Chairman Scott to sign.
DISCUSSION: Jeff Andrews – Conservation Commission
Lot Line Adjustment
Sanborn/Cray Conservation property and Plummer property
Map 4, Lots 8 & 9B, Main Street
The Conservation Commission would like to purchase 6 of the Plummer’s 8 acres of property to use as an access to the Sanborn/Cray Conservation property, the access will be through the lower parking area of the town hall. A large concern of the Board is that the town maps show the property to be in wetlands and removing 6 acres would create a substandard lot. Mr. Andrews has informed the Board that he will have a soil scientist report of the property and see if the tax maps can be proven incorrect for the Plummer lot.
Design Review/Public Hearing set for December 2 meeting.
DISCUSSION: Wetlands Ordinance
Bob Mann, Lee Ann Valotto and Jeff Andrews all of the Conservation Commission presented new language for the Wetlands Ordinance. The Board had some recommendations to change the wording, the subcommittee will meet again the end of the month and the changes will be brought to Public Hearing for discussion and approval for ballot vote in March.
CONTINUED BUSINESS:
The signage at Hess has been an agenda item with needed review. After review of minutes and discussion with Hess representatives, the Board was in agreement that the amount of signage would be allowed to the same extent as was at the Exxon Station on the paperwork provided to the Board by the Hess representatives in October 2004. That figure was 175 square feet as listed. Letter to be drafted, Chairman Scott to sign.
