Chairman’s Report
activities allegedly
violating subdivision and zoning regulations in the Subdivision Right of Way. Roger determined again there are no violations outstanding.
ies charged by the McDonalds would have to be disputed in a civil case brought by the McDonalds. The complaints specifically noted as a subdivision violation would have to be declared the subdivision invalid which the planning board would have to hear and most unlikely to occur since there were no conditions noted at the time of approval. If someone piled debris on a town right of way there would be further avenues of correction since it would be on Town owned Right of Way. Donna advised that Roger would be sending the McDonalds his findings. The Board had concerns regarding business use of residential
property, Donna will have Roger follow-up.
Donna Nashawaty received a letter from Jeff & Jacqueline Bailey regarding the change in Land Use Tax on 2 properties Timmothy Drive and Jeffrey Drive. They received both tax bills and would like to pay 4 quarterly payments over the next year. Donna would like to send a letter on behalf of the Board of Selectmen stating that the Tax Collector nor the Board of selectmen can make a payment arrangement that is binding. The Bailey’s can make quarterly payments, however interest of 18% will accrue for the outstanding balance after the 30 day due date has transpired. Donna would tell the Baileys that they can make quarterly payments over the year to prevent liening in April 2010 and then go back to the Selectmen for the interest to be abated at the end of the payments.
It was discovered that when the properties were sold and papers passed, they had never been billed for the current use tax. The deed on these properties, very clearly states that thiese properties are subject to a current use tax.
