BOARD MEETING AGENDA
October 17, 2007
PRIMARY:
9:15am MEET WITH BRENDA AND RAY DONNELLY – MAP 27 LOT 13 – They did not show up.
10:30 MEET WITH MIKE PELLIETER – MAP 35 LOT 40 – He has some concerns regarding his assessment. Mr. Parker explained that we revalued in 2005, required by State. The results were highly contentious. We were petitioned to BTLA and they ordered the town to do another sale update. There are factors for location or neighborhood. The real problem is our assessor looked at this but didn’t go on property because it is posted. Map 35 Lot 28 – he has ROW to get access to water. It is assessed to approximately 6 properties. This was part of the subdivision – one of the covenants. He has a legal right to access the property across this lot. We don’t know what your property is being used as. From the road you can’t tell. He said this is basically
landscaping. Carmen said the assessor needs to get in. He said that if the assessor called him, he would let him come onto his land. He also just put a shed up last year 10’ X 10’. He did not get a building permit. What was put on the card was an improvement “campground”. There is potential to reduce assessment – 50,000 and water access of $7,500. He will submit a permit, after the fact, for his shed. He is questioning why he had to make sure he had 250’ in both directions for his driveway when he sees that his neighbors have not done this. Carmen said we need only a hand written note giving the selectmen and our assessor permission to go on his property for the purpose of assessing.
11:00 MEET WITH ALAN BARTLETT – MAP 08 LOT 20 – Mr. Bartlett is here to discuss the problem with his current building permit. Jim Lombardi, Alan’s attorney is here as well. He said that the Code Enforcement Officer said a lot of things to him and that’s why he has his attorney here tonight. He said he was told might be problem with setbacks and septic. Tom said that the selectmen asked Mr. Sweeney to go down and see what was going on here. Mr. Methe had called Mr. Parker and said he was shocked that the building was pretty much down. The building permit was to raise the upper floor and replace the roof. Mr. Parker said that the issue is has Mr. Bartlett gone beyond his building permit. He has torn down walls. We understand that there will be things that can
happen that are not anticipated and it looks like Mr. Bartlett has gone way beyond the existing permit. He needs to update his building permit to cover what he is doing and what the whole project is. Attorney Lombardi asked if he could do that today. Mr. Parker said that one of the concerns is that there needs to be some type of toilet facilities. He asked if anyone will live in the apartment. Mr. Bartlett said that he was planning on living in the apartment and that it will only have one bedroom instead of the three bedrooms that were there before. Mr. Parker said that we need to make sure that the septic is proper. Attorney asked if this should be part of application. Mr. Parker said that Mr. Bartlett has to have a licensed designer come down and figure out what the repairs need to be and then submit the plan to the State for approval. We just want to make sure that there is a proper septic system in place. Mr. Parker said that a letter from the septic designer
would suffice to get the building permit revision started.
