*** NEWSLETTER ARTICLES: The board reviewed the drafts and made comments and changes.
*** CHERYL WELCH (Map 23, Lot 13): Mr. Parker questioned if this has been looked at. Mrs. Thompson
requested Ms. Carney look at this last week she has not heard back from her. We have an abatement
for this property for the travel trailer, she is stating this is registered. Mr. Parker feels that we should
remove the travel trailer assessment. The land value is not on a per acre basis. The fact she had a
buildable lot as of 2005 should be reflected in this assessment. In 2006 we will reassess this as not
buildable. We need to add an assessment for a drilled well as of 2006 with a reduction since this is not a
working well.
*** LOUISE BILL (Map 03, Lot 05): There is serious problems with the maintenance of the building . Mr.
Methe feels that the problems there can be fixed easily. The board feels that the building is worth what
it is assessed for. Mr. Parker feels that the driveway should be depreciated. The building is considered
average. The total assessment is $242,000. The board will depreciate the driveway by 50%.
*** ROBERT WHITE: 25, 01-G The deck on the card is correct. West Lake Road is listed as the property
location, the correct location is Sandy Beach. The attic is listed as a finished attic, this is not correct.
Mr. Parker would like to change this to an unfinished attic. 25,01 stating does not take into account the
right of way. Mr. Parker stated that this had no bearing.
*** RAYMOND & ELIZABETH BOUCHER (Map 10, Lot 79-03): we increased depreciation and corrected
fireplaces.
*** STATE LINE CAMPGROUND (Map 04, Lot 46): Dave Kirsula stated that in comparison with Laurel
Lake Campground they are not adding in the separate parcel on the lake to the total assessment. He
does not feel the buildings should be changed. Dave Kirsula did collect new data on the property. We
need to make these changes. We will point out to Mr. Hunter that Laurel Lake Campground has a
separate lot with the lake adjustment. State Line has more sites than Laurel Lake. The abatement is
denied
*** PERRY NADEAU (Map 22, Lot 01): He has two perfectly good septic systems. Mr. Parker does not
feel we should discount septic. Because the mobile home is installed it has added value. It is sitting
on a slab and has utilities, which adds value. The abatement is denied
*** SARAH KORJEFF (Map 03, Lot 10): This property is liveable, We have depreciated already 39% plus
additional 35% for not complete. The abatement is denied.
*** WOODBROOK: The board would like a letter sent to Woodbrook stating that the board did not realize
limitation of time to take deeds. The board would like to hold off on this until early in the year next year
and have available to sell at the beginning of vacation season. If the owner came forward to negotiate
paying the taxes we would discuss this with them.
*** UPDATE EXEL ENFORCEMENT
*** MAP 21, LOT 34: Mr. Methe stated that this lot is on the water, they have a dock on the water. He feels
that this should be on the tax roles. The boat ramp has been there since 1958. Mr. Parker feels that
we should contact the State to determine where they are in this process. Mr. Methe will contact the
State. The board has looked into this matter in the past, and decided to leave the tax status the same.
The State does not own this property. Mrs. Thompson will pull this whole folder.
*** Mr. Parker has appointment with Gary Kinyon 9:00 Wednesday with regard to the Dwinell filing.
*** When Mrs. Thompson spoke with Joan Gotee from BTLA she did not have a problem with the
reassessment, the problem was with some of the documentation in the manual. There are properties
in town which sold for more because of the potential use. They need to be assessed based upon
highest and best use. Mr. Parker feels the problem is the way we are assessing the land value. He
thinks we should be taking a look at road frontage as well as frontage on ponds and lakes, he feels this
has an influence on the value. Mr. Methe stated Keene does not have a view tax but the assessment
is adjusted. Mr. Parker stated that we have a location adjustment, it does not only have to be just used
for a view. It could be an adjustment for location.
*** BRIAN DAMON BARN PRESERVATION EASEMENT: We need to make an appointment to view the
barn.
*** TRANSFER STATION LETTER: Mr. Methe does not feel that we should be sending out these letters.
He does not feel that people realize what took place. Mr. Parker we need to put a reminder in the
newsletter. Mr. Methe does not feel that recycling was mandatory. Mrs. Thompson pulled the recycling
ordinance and it states it is mandatory. We had a Special Town Meeting in October 1989. We will
write a newsletter article, reminding of mandatory recycling and stating appreciation for those who have
made this successful.
