7.0 Other
Business:
Crandall
asked Williams about Skip MooreÕs visit to the SelectmenÕs meeting. He wanted
to know what transpired because the issue could come back to the Planning Board
in the future. Williams said that Moore is considering dropping his attorney in
order to have a conversation with them about the issue on his property. The
Selectmen canÕt speak with him unless he does. Moore said he is putting his
property on the market and is putting up a sign to make sure no one enters his property to clean out the culvert. Schwartz said
that the culvert is not on his property. Crandall wants to be kept in the loop
since the issue may come back to the board.
Schwartz
said that we received a printout from Deb Defosse showing what we have spent so
far this year out of our budget - $201.28.
Cook asked about whether the Intent-to-Cuts
we received had driveway permit applications with them or if they were using
existing driveways. Schwartz said no applications were submitted. Cook said
that the Selectmen are now signing the Intent-to-Cut forms and they need to be
aware that driveway permits may be needed. Williams said that Bachand told them
that his log landing is already in and he was not sure if it was
previously existing.
Williams asked about Shane Mulliner closing
on the property he has been using for his logging equipment at the corner of
Rt. 31 and East Washington Road and whether he needs a business permit for that
location. We discussed the issue and decided we will send him a letter and do a
site visit for the new business location.
