Other Business:
Administrative Services Manager Becky Newton presented a follow-up on Case #658 Brian Beattie/Mt. Orne Enterprise. It was asked if the Board would be agreeable to having the applicant having a 2nd mortgage on the property instead of bond. She felt that there was sufficient collateral for such. John Brooks said that he didnt feel that a 2nd mortgage was good. The 2nd mortgage would be with the Town forever, the only way that it might not be good is if the applicant went bankrupt but she did not feel that would happen as he already has a lot in property value at the location. After further discussion a vote was called for.

Back to Other Business:
A Wetland Permit had been issued for Frank Pecze as he is planning to build a single family dwelling between the cabins that are there now and the motel. (This was in a previous packet for review.)
FYI: There will be two more wetlands permits material was circulated.
HARTCO Ave. They are planning 4 new roads to access some of the lots that they appear on the map to be planned to merger together. This will not impact any of the town land that is around there.
Raymond Pardy, Sr. Applicant wants to build a house that does
not have the required 50 frontage.
Aurore Hood recused herself at 7:00 P.M.
The Zoning Board approved this but stated that they would not do so in the future. Mr. Pardy does have a 60 deeded ROW to the back property. It was stated that town policy permits homes on ClassVI and private roads. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a liability waiver needs to be executed. The Selectmen and the Planning Board need to approve the building permit via the liability waiver. Fred Emerson said that he thought that if they have the proper ownership that it would be all right as long as everyone was in agreement with the Boards decisions. Noting no further discussion a vote was called for.
A motion was made by Steve Young and seconded by Les Hilton to grant permission for Raymond Pardy, Sr. to build a single residence with ROW, however further subdivision will not be granted until the frontage is obtained/purchaced issue is taken care of. A vote was called for and the motion carried.
