A complaint was received for property on Pinewood Lane regarding gunfire.

Public Hearing: Mark Thompson for an annexation for property on Morrill Hill Road

The Board reviewed the application for completeness. It was determined that there are several items not included on the plan; therefore, the Board cannot deem it complete. Currier stated that he has a concern with enlarging an existing non-conforming lot to a larger non-conforming lot.

The public hearing has been continued to 7:30 PM on August 11. There will be a non-binding consultation for application completeness on July 28.

Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments: Mary Anne Broshek has contacted Currier to request a public information session just prior to Town Meeting to go over the proposed changes, as they will not be discussed at Town Meeting.

Non-Binding Consultation: Elwin Barton regarding property on Potters Road

Mr. Barton explained that he has an interested buyer for his property on Potters Road; however, needed to know the process for an excavation permit and the possibility of acquiring one. Currier explained that they would have to go through the Site Plan Review process. A non-binding consultation is scheduled for July 28.

Work on Zoning Ordinance Amendments: Currier presented a plan with revised boundaries for the proposed Business District.

Additional Items
