*** ABATEMENT REQUESTS: We have received an abatement application from Fleur Dis Lis stating that
their property is disproportionally assessed. Mr. Parker feels that we need to write a letter to the attorney
submitting this, we did not receive an analysis that would demonstrate the disproportionality, we will
remind them of the filing date of March 1, without this data we have no basis for making a determination.
A copy of this letter will be sent to Fleur Dis Lis.
*** PLANNING BOARD MEETING: Saga Communications is proposing to place a cell antenna on the Bard
Building antenna. The Planning Board does not have a problem with this, they will need to obtain a
building permit. They would like to have this installed by June. PSNH met with the Planning Board, Mr.
Silverman stated that Planning Board would be reviewing wetlands. Mr. Filipi met with them, he is
proposing two lots outside of the area in the aquifer, with a road going in twelve hundred feet with seven
additional houses. There is a lot of concern with the amount of water in this area. The Planning Board
