New Business:
Michael Robinson – Marc Bigney approached the Board questioning the number of cars for sale on Mr. Robinson’s site which was approved in 2003 for a car care center and sales lot. His concern was that the original site plan indicated a building and he questioned if the placement of cars only was a change in site plan usage. Chairman Ouellet explained that the site plan was recorded at the Registry of Deeds and is permanent; however, the building permit originally approved has since expired. The conditions on the site plan did state the intention was for “service and sales.”
It was questioned whether the site was currently being used for sales or storage. If it is being used as a sales lot, does that fall under the approved site plan? Is it a viable business without a building? The Board determined that these questions should be put before town counsel before any determination was made.
Wheeler Motors – Mr. Bigney commented that it appears that there are five to six vehicles, along with a ramp truck, parked frequently at this site. He thought this number was over the amount allowed during the site plan hearing. The minutes will be reviewed regarding this issue.
Mr. Sluben inquired of the Board whether he would need a building permit to build on a foundation not destroyed when a garage burned. It was also noted that the existing foundation is approximately eight feet from the property line. It was determined that a building permit would be necessary; and if the distance was indeed only eight feet, the Board would have no option but to deny the application. The decision could then be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
A certificate of occupancy for the UCVH’s temporary classroom trailer was reviewed and signed.
The following approval for septic system construction/approval were reviewed:
Harold Booska – addressStreetDion Drive (Improve existing system - 2 BR) Construction

James Alton – Irene Bean offered to ascertain that the fence on this property is over four feet tall and talk to the renters of this property.
The motion was adjourned at 8:45 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Sheila M. Beauchemin
