Town of Lyme
Board of Selectmen
Minutes 15 October 2003
The Lyme Board of Selectmen convened its regular meeting at 9:00 AM. Allan Newton, Dick Jones, Pete Bleyler, and Carole Bont (Administrative Assistant) attended the entire meeting. Vickie Davis (Zoning and Planning Administrator), Pat Lewis, Judy Brotman (Chair, Public Works Facilities Committee), and Steve Maddock (Chair, Transfer Station Committee) attended parts of the meeting.
The minutes of October 8, 2003 were approved as corrected.
The Board granted permission to A. Stout, under RSA 41:11, to upgrade a section of the former Baker Hill Road, a Class VI road, to Arthur Stout's property; such upgrade to meet the standards set forth in the sub-division regulations for a new street with the appropriate traffic volume. If this is used for access, a driveway access permit will be required and a waiver of liability recorded before a building permit may be issued. It is noted that the current planning and zoning requirements are met only by the frontage on Dorchester Road. Approval of any sub-division street is under the authority of the Planning Board.
The Board voted to assess a yield tax of $2,032.82 on W.E. Whittington's property, Map 414, Lots 5 and 6.
The Board agreed to schedule two hazardous waste collection dates over the ensuing year.
Pat Lewis came in to discuss various issues in connection with the Nichols' property adjoining her property. The Board agreed to send a letter to Ben and Bill Nichols, covering 1) noise before 7:00 AM, 2) the possibility of a zoning violation including timber harvesting in a deer yard, and 3) blocking public access to a Class VI road. The Chief of Police will be sent a copy of this letter.
Judy Brotman came in to discuss proposals received from five companies interested in contracting with the Town in the construction of the Public Works facility. Brotman reported that four of the five companies could easily do the job, but the first choice of all Committee members present was Conneston Construction, Inc. (CCI). The Board agreed to have the Committee negotiate a contract for presentation to the Board. The Board asked Dick Jones to conduct reference checks on CCI, in addition to those conducted by the Committee.
Steve Maddock came in to provide an update on the Transfer Station Committee's progress. The Board agreed to authorize the Committee to have two appraisals made of the Jenks' property on High Street, as a possible site for Lyme's Transfer Station.
The meeting adjourned at 11:07 AM.
