Building Permits signed:

Map 21 Lot 001-A                  Horse Barn

Map 8    Lot 10                         Barn

14 Pleasant Lane                      Demolition Permit

The Selectmen reviewed a Demolition Permit for a mobile home in Pleasant Lake Estates.  Chairman Eigabroadt asked about tax liabilities.  Martha Mical explained that a “jeopardy assessment” is needed if the mobile home is being moved over State roads.  Chairman Eigabroadt commented that the jeopardy assessment is saying that the tax liability has been met therefore it can be removed from the lot.  Martha Mical further explained that if the taxes are not paid on the mobile home the responsibility would then fall to the owner of the park.

Anthony Mento spoke on behalf of Citizens for Smart Growth regarding a presentation of the completed charrette.  The date for the presentation is slated for Saturday, November 20, 2004 .  The group is working with the Planning Board to promote the design charrette.  The Selectmen asked why  the Citizens for Smart Growth are presenting the charrette when it is a Planning Board/Plan NH function.  Mr. Mento understands that there are items within the charrette that the Planning Board cannot support.  Planning Board members Derek Pershouse and Mark Lennon regularly attend Smart Growth meetings, and Smart Growth wants to help the Planning Board to implement the Planning Boards decision based on the findings of the charette.  The Selectmen understand that it is not the general consensus of the Planning Board to have a separate entity present the findings of the charrette.  The original reason that Mr. Mento came to see the Selectmen was to ask if an easel could be set up with charrette literature available for the public to view during the November 2 election.  Chairman Eigabroadt recommended setting up in the front hallway or downstairs.  

Mr. Mento will wait to hear from the Planning Board regarding the presentation of the charrette.  The Planning Board Chairman will discuss the charrette presentation at the November 1, 2004 Planning Board meeting. 

Motion to adjourn at 8:15 p.m.
