Town of Lyme
Board of Selectmen
Minutes 27 August 2003
The Lyme Board of Selectmen convened its regular meeting at 9:00 AM. Dick Jones, Allan Newton, and Pete Bleyler, attended the entire meeting Carole Bont (Administrative Assistant), Dina Cutting (Bookkeeper/secretary), Vickie Davis (Planning and Zoning Administrator), Judy Brotman, and Lee Larsen attended parts of the meeting.
Judy Brotman came in to discuss the lot line between the Town Garage property and the Cemetery.
Lee Larsen came in to discuss the Select Board's decision regarding acceptance of a conservation easement from the Hewitt's property on Baker Hill Road. Pete moved, and Allen seconded, that the decision made at the 20 August 2003 meeting (item 3.e) be reconsidered, and that the Board require a back-up easement holder (e.g., Upper Valley Land Trust) before accepting the easement. After considerable discussion, the Board unanimously defeated the motion.
The minutes of the 20 August 2003 meeting were approved as written.
The Charge for the Transfer Station Committee was approved and the following members were appointed: Steve Maddock, Laura Brannen, Simon Carr, and Ellen Barrett. Al Pryor and Pete Bleyler were appointed as ex officio members.
The Board agreed to ask the Cemetery Commission for recommendations on charging different rates for lots for long service Town employees.
The Board discussed the request to have a "Dean for President " sign at the transfer station. The Board agreed to follow State law, which restricts the placing of political signs to certain time periods prior to the election. Accordingly, the present request was denied.
The board decided not to allow Trent Tolving to put up a Dead End sign.
The Board approved the Manton and Nancy Copeland zoning easement request.
The meeting adjourned at 11:01 AM.
