Map 39, Lot 22-3 $9,500

Map 39, Lot 22-5 $9,500

One abatement request was considered. It was recommended that the Board deny the abatement as the physical data has changed and has been upgraded. This would negate any abatement.

Mr. Brown then asked the Board to review 2 letters he drafted. The first letter regarding snow- plowing procedures is fine as written and will be forwarded to the Highway Department.
The other letter was regarding the March 28, 2005 meeting requested by Eugene Reed. The Board set the format for the meeting. Issues or data to be discussed must be submitted by March 14, 2005. Twenty (20) minutes for presentation, 10-15 minutes for response and a question and answer period not to exceed thirty (30) minutes. Mr. Brown will forward the letter to Mr. Reed and Avitar Associates.
The Comte Conservation Easement issue is waiting for the attorney’s comment. Mr. Brown will contact Attorney John Teague with a reminder. Mr. Brown will also contact Phil Auger with a reminder that Town meeting time is a busy time of year but once meetings are over, it should be easier for the attorneys to respond in a more timely fashion.
There was a short discussion regarding Town Meeting. The Board feels Article #9 should be discussed before Article #8 at Town Meeting. Mr. Netishen will make this motion. This will allow the polls to be open for the required 1 hour and carry on with other Town Meeting business.
