David Salvadore, abutter to McAllister stated that he is opposed at opening a future public hearing until Mr. Blair pays his application fee. Of note: The Board has not received the fee and has not seen Mr. Blair’s engineer’s plans.
Chairman informed Mr. Salvadore that this hearing has been opened since it’s inception but has been continued. Discussion ensued.
4. Paquette Property/Road to Cool Sandy Beach (to make another exit):
Chairman stated that the Assessor’s Office is taking a look at the plot plans. Can these be estate lots?
Dick stated that a lot cannot be considered an estate lot until signed by this Board. He spoke with Mr. Ray Becker to inform him that it is not possible for an assessor to determine whether a lot is an estate lot. Apparently the Board received a letter from Howard Root (Board of Assessor’s) asking for documentation pertaining to this.
Discussion ensued.
Also, Chairman stated that the Board of Assessors would like to attend a Planning Board meeting to discuss open space and estate lots. A letter will be sent in response, inviting them to our next meeting at 7:00pm.

Chairman spoke with Mr. Blair regarding monies owed. He will possibly bring money to Chairman this Thursday. Also, Mr. Blair briefly brought up Miliken Brook.

6. Maria Hopkins/Patriot Hill Subdivision Road Acceptance:
Maria would like to get together with Gary Kellaher of DPW and the Planning Board regarding road acceptance. Discussion ensued.

It might be better to wait until Special Town Meeting in October for road acceptance consideration.
7. Chairman conversation with Sally Hayden pertaining to why the Attorney General has not approved zoning the Planning Board approved a while ago:
A letter will be sent to Sally requesting that communications pertaining to estate lots, R40 – R60 zoning be sent to the Board. The Board will also ask what they can do to help her get the Town Center District filed with the Attorney General’s office.
