7:08 p.m. On May 10, 2006 R.J. Perron, contractor, was called - left a message that we would require Mr. Frigo’s Notice of Intent by Thursday, 5-11-06 in order to place his Legal Ad for the Public Hearing scheduled for May 23, 2006 to add a second floor to existing structure at 12 Julie Ann Dr. Mr. Perron replied that evening requesting an extension until June 13, 2006 at 7:30 p.m.
On May 11th, Laurie Kennedy alerted Steven Anderstrom about equipment going in and out for perc tests and disturbing considerably the area on Alexander and Allen Hill Rds. Steven brought it to our attention and requested agent Howard Fife to investigate. Howard Fife, Agent, Selectmen James Wettlaufer and Earl Johnson did a site review. Numerous violations were noted. They spoke with the owner and his son who said they were going to call the engineer and get back to Howard Fife. An Enforcement Order to cease and desist the work was mentioned and that the DEP would be notified. As it turns out, the corner of Alexander and Allen Hill Rds. is within the Priority Habitat on the maps. It cuts across the parcel. The owners should have filed with National Heritage before going so far. Percs are allowed but with minor
impact. The engineer was to visit the parcel and mark the wetlands so we can begin discussions.
7:25 p.m. Lois and Webster Cook of Allen Hill Rd. were curious about the activity on Allen Hill/Alexander Rds. They were informed that the owner gained approval from the Planning Board for an ANR (Approval Not Required). Also, that the engineer was given a copy of the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife officially certifying by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Fisheries program a Vernal Pool located on Alexander/Allen Hill Rds. and that a verbal Cease and Desist had been given.
7:35 p.m. Judith Petit and Tom Cabot, new owner, and Mark Farrell were present at the Petit Public Hearing to repair a septic system at 15 Forest Dr., Map R-5-A-18.

8:00 p.m. Julia Rodrigues of Aqua Pool and Patio and Mark Farrell were present at the Batista Public Hearing to build a garage and an in-ground Gunite swimming pool at 449 Mashapaug Rd. (Lot 6).
