7.0 Other Business:
Crandall asked Williams about Skip Moore’s visit to the Selectmen’s 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 can’t 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.
