Andrew Harhay of 430 Mashapaug Rd. (Lot 5) called Pat Caron requesting that another site visit be scheduled regarding additional tree cutting.  Following discussion, the Board felt a new Notice of Intent would be required.

Procedure Sheet #2007-1243 issued to Janice Swenson of 27 Hamilton Dr. Map R41-B-65 to “strip and re-roof”.  Mary vandenBerg recused herself.  Motion was made to approve the project. All were in favor. Procedure Sheet was signed by Howard Fife with the understanding that a dumpster be on-site.

Tim Jones of the DEP recommended to Jim Wettlaufer that we contact the State Forrester to do a site visit to the Huguenot Farms/Northeast Concepts, Inc. property and that someone from Conservation accompany him.  Agent Howard Fife will call State Forrester Richard Johnson and accompany him on the site visit.

Gerald Joyal of 13 Massaconnic Trail showed us a new flow-thru concept to be used in the flood zone in lieu of piers.  He was instructed to see the Building Inspector with these plans.
