Activities (Report by Agent)
Indian Head St – Chapter 61 Issue
Mr. Vacca consulted Ms. Cindy Long, Town Assessor, regarding the parcels of land that comprise 301 Indian Street. She confirmed that no part of these parcels were ever in Chapter 61 and so the question of the Town having the right of first refusal was moot.
Perc Test Procedure
Mr. Vacca reported that we have negotiated with Board of Health to be notified of perc tests by way of e-mail.
Indian Head Pond Boat Launch
Mr. Vacca reported that he e-mailed Al Hanscom and had not heard back as of yet.
