7. Susannah Adams attended the meeting to discuss the Jackson Ridge Well Association. Gail Erikson requested from the well association to purchase stock in the association for a hook up into the well. Mrs. Adams stated a meeting was held on November 29, 2003, six of the seven members were present and a vote by confidential blind ballot was taken which resulted in a unanimous disapproval of the application. The members of the well association concern were the viability of the community well if another hookup was approved. The articles of agreement for the well association state that before a share for the well is issued a vote by the association must be taken. The property in question is not in the original subdivision. Fran Lyons, FX Lyons Inc. Water Services, has determined the level of water has gone down. The Board of
Selectmen agreed this is not a town issue since this is an established private well. Susannah Adams advised the selectmen of this situation in case a building permit application was submitted for this property. Copies of the notarized letter will be placed in the Jackson Ridge Well Association file.

A copy of the letter will be sent to Charlie Russo.
