EVANS MEMORIAL BUILDING

BOARD OF SELECTMEN

March 13, 2007

The regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen took place on Tuesday, March 613th, 2007, at the Evans Memorial Building. Present were: Joyce Blue, Don Philbrick and Rick Young. The meeting was called to order at 11:15 a.m. It was Town Meeting day.

The minutes for the meeting of March 6^th were accepted as distributed.

Joyce Blue thanked her colleagues on the Board for their support during the last three years.

Don Philbrick said there had been two fire calls recently, one of which involved an alarm going off.

Paul Hennigan met with the Selectmen saying that one of the petitioned warrant articles for the Annual Meeting had two signatures that were not registered Eaton voters. That reduced the number of signatures to nine which is one less than that required by statute. He proposed a way round the issue by tabling it and addressing it under other business.

Rick Young said there was an issue over building without a permit for a property on Conway Lake. A visit to the site last Friday revealed four structures for which no permits existed. He also said there was uncertainly on which lot the new primary building was located since part of the lot line was difficult to determine. Subsequently, the Selectmen sent a letter to the owner issuing a cease and desist order and giving them till April 1^st to re-establish the property line so the setbacks for the new structures could be established. The letter was sent certified as well as regular mail. Rick Young noted the construction had started after the revaluation and may never have been picked up until the next revaluation with loss of significant revenue to the Town.

Rick Young also discussed a four lot subdivision on the section of old Lary Rd, accessed from Rte 153 and renamed Long Pond Rd. The subdivision had been approved in 1983 and there was a clear 50' right of way to Map R5, lot 8C. This subdivision had been researched because of a claim by the property owner that this parcel did not have a legal access point.

Rick Young reported on the Conservation Commission meeting held the previous evening.

They had decided to proceed with negotiating a contract for managing the blueberry fields.

There has been no response so far to the request of Cherryfield Foods for records on spraying on Foss Mt.

The Conservation Commission had also voted to approve the purchase of two bridges. There will be additional permit fees of $400. The Conservation Commission had also appropriated $1,200 for Eaton children to attend Tin Mountain Summer Camps.

Correspondence was received from Attorney Diane Bolander together with a copy of the court order appointing her trustee of the Cass Family Trust/ The Selectmen agreed not to proceed with the abatement request from Gilbert Cass.

Legislative bulletin #11 was distributed.

The meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

David V. Maudsley
