There being no further discussion, Bill Kelley made a motion to accept the voluntary merger. Sarah Kimball seconded the motion and all voted favorably.
OLD BUSINESS
Bill Kelley asked about the copy of the Capital Improvement Plan that was prepared last year. The CIP had been given to the Planning Board for review. After approval of the Planning Board it was given to the Selectmen’s Office. They have no record of it. Susan Way will look through the minutes to see when this was done. It was mentioned that Betsey Harding may have a copy. Sarah Kimball remembers working on the document and may have a copy. She will bring in one and Sue will copy it for all members at the next meeting.
Gino Funicella reported on the surveying activity at the Gray’s Inn Property. The selectmen are trying to review the best use of the property in regard to constructing other buildings. There are considerable wetlands to be considered. Also being discussed is the renovation the Gray’s Inn Garage for possible renovation to store highway equipment.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
David Urey reported on the committee for dwelling units. They had expected to have a questionnaire prepared to be distributed at the primary elections. At the last minute there was no consensus on the wording on some of the questions so none were printed. There was discussion on how to get these questions out to the residents. David Urey and Gino mentioned doing a boxholder mailing. Bill Kelley felt that there should be something available as money was budgeted last year for printing and mailing for the Capital Improvement Plan and not used.
Scott Badger gave a brief report of the other subcommittee, the Jackson Village District Subcommittee. They have had a meeting that consisted of general discussions and trying to define terms.
BUSINESS NOT ON THE AGENDA
Cathy Steasy of Mt. Valley Real Estate: Conceptual Review of a Lot Line Adjustment
Ms. Steasy appeared to represent a client that is interested in buying R12 Lot 18. The client would like to change the lot line along Thorn Hill Road. She had a copy of the tax map with a triangular-shaped proposed adjustment. There were no dimensions given on the size of the change. The Board suggested that she come back with a more formal application giving dimensions and an explanation of this proposal.
There being no further discussion, a motion was made by Michael Mallett and seconded by Bill Kelley to adjourn the meeting and it passed unanimously. Vice-Chairman Stephen Weeder adjourned the meeting at 8:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan G. Way, Secretary
