The regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen took place on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 at the Evans Memorial Building. Present were: Don Philbrick, Rick Young and Lee Stack. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.
The Selectmen reviewed checks and signed the accounts payable manifest for $33,003.95 for 20 items.
Stewart Heath filed a building permit application on behalf of Matthew and Joanne Campano to construct a new home on Stewart Rd (Tax map R9, lot 4). The application was reviewed, approved and signed by the Board of Selectmen (Building permit #2717). The fee of $442.50 was paid with two checks.

Rick Young noted that Marnie Cobbs was interested in returning to the Conservation Commission and Dennis Sullivan was willing to serve on the Planning Board. Letters of appointment will be drafted for next week.
Rick Young wondered why Chatham has DSL connectivity but not Eaton.
Dick Fortin joined the meeting and discussed the NH Fish & Game Department meetings last week and their proposals for accessing Purity Lake. The attendance had been light with
most people opposed to the project. Rick Young noted that the Department’s files were empty of all the correspondence sent to, or from. them in 1999. Access to the lake will be a walk in for canoes and kayaks. Parking will be for about 7 vehicles with one handicapped parking spot. Concerns had been conveyed to the Fish & Game Department personnel about the location of the entrance, issues of law enforcement, trash pickup and maintenance. The Department’s claim that they had already done some environmental studies of the area had been disputed and no documentation was proffered to support the claim. The Selectmen understood that the Department will do what it wants but agreed to continue to protest and try to ensure that all permitting and environmental concerns are addressed.
Lee Stack said he had looked at the fire pond on Stewart Rd and said it looked fine. He had also visited the detention pond on the Murphy property and discussed it with George Murphy. Lee Stack noted some of the culverts were filled with sand. George Murphy had said they were grandfathered for getting a permit to dredge the detention pond but the Selectmen did not agree.
Philip Pliskin inquired about permit requirements.
Carol Mayhofer signed checks.
