*** LETER FROM ATTORNEY SLACK : The board needs to review and decide on what steps they need to
take. Mr. Parker spoke with Chief Prigge. He was not aware that the Fire Department had obtained a
separate mailbox. Mr. Methe feels that we should ask the police department if they would change to the
town PO box. There is also the Land Use box and the Tax Collector.
*** QUESTION REGARDING TRACTS OF LAND: There is no case law according to Jim Basset. If a
person came into the land by separate deeds for each tract, they can convey if each tract is on a separate
deed they can sell separately. If you have a tract that does not meet zoning, you cannot sell it as a
separate lot. Mr. Parker stated that David Greene will need to present the individual deeds on these
tracts. The board will send a letter to Mr. Greene with regard to this issue, with copy to the Planning
Board.
