Other Business:
A. PA received an email on June 2, 2012 from Richard Woller of Greylock Discovery Tours regarding the Lenox Fire Tower. The email, also addressed to the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen, inquired as to the procedures or notifications that were followed for the communications building that was erected under the Lenox fire tower last year. PA responded with an email to Mr. Woller on the same date advising him that his letter was being forwarded to NC. NC then contacted Mr. Woller and explained that structure was a communication facility for the state police.
B. Richard Heiss, part owner of property on Sargent Brook called NC to ask if they could reduce the height of the vegetation on the property. NC advised that the only work permitted on this parcel is to mow the path to the dock.
C. Kevin Holden contacted NC regarding property at 13 Taconic Avenue. The property owners had asked Mr. Holden to remove five diseased trees on their property. NC met Mr. Holden at the site and advised that the removal of one of the trees, due to its location, would require an RDA.
Respectfully submitted,
