Dale was here today to take numbers and will find the distributor or someone who will take care of this as soon as possible.
5. Mark asked the board for comments on the Lawton's violations and the planning board findings of fact and conclusions of law, any suggestions on the penalty? Hal stated that this is not in the same class ask Mr. Grasso, each case has its own points. Mr. Lawton built without a permit; he tore down and rebuilt another structure. He questioned the size of the expansion, as he requested abatement in 1998 and the assessors did measure buildings. He illegally cut a tree, and requested a septic leach field permit while he was on a stop work order.
Tom also questioned the expansion size; he feels it is more than 30%. Mark suggested a $3500.00 Fine and the letter; which Mr. Lawton's attorney stated that Mr. Lawton wanted to compose a first person story of what he did wrong, which would be set out to shoreland taxpayers. This led to further discussion on the letter which should be sent to all taxpayers, to educate all future builders. Also would be posted on the web site. This would bring the cost up for printing, postage and fees. Therefore Mark made the suggestion of $5000, which will include the cost for the mailing.
Motion by Mark that all conditions be written in the consent agreement those from the Planning Board, CEO and our condition that the letter that Mr. Lawton composes needs to be delivered along with cash or a bank check in the amount of $5000 with his signature, notarized. 2nd by Tom, All
6. The board discussed Parkway and the survey that Ross Cutlitz had done. They would like him to put this out to bid for us. They feel it will cost $35000. which is $25000 more than was raised. The board said to use the FEMA Funds if possible..
