  1. Norman submitted a draft of letter for review by the Board to Clealand Blair, Jr. regarding Bear Hill bridge. (Letter attached) There was much discussion and agreement to have Norman mail the letter.



  2. Marilyn asked if CMRPC (Trish Settles) could meet with the Planning Board on June 25, 2013. There was discussion about whether this is really about Planning Board issues. Marilyn will see that it gets on our agenda for 6/25 at 7:00 P.M.



  3. Addison brought up the Lussier storage facility being constructed on Rte 122 at Four Corners. Addison reported that he had received an email suggesting that the facility was not in keeping with the correspondent’s understanding of The Village Center by-law, and that it (the facility) was too close to the highway and rather ugly. Addison viewed the site and felt that even though it undoubtedly complied with our setback requirements, it really was very close to the road. Richard suggested that in the future we should always perform site walks and understand just how far the setbacks actually are.



  4. Tom Dufault asked about Brintnal Estates. He was told that wetland crossings may need to be discussed and addressed. Tom is requesting that the permit(s) for Brintnal Estates sub-division be rescinded immediately. Tom presented a letter citing his reasons for the request. (copy attached) Tim suggested that Susan send us a letter indicating our intention to begin rescission proceedings. It was agreed that this should be discussed at a future meeting before further proceeding.
