For Approval / Signature – Approved

Motion made by Selectman Haddock to approve the regular meeting minutes of May 14, 2003; motion seconded by Selectman Hutchins. The Board voted unanimously to approve.

Gary Turner – Building Permit Application: Mr. Turner requested a waiver on the building permit. The house he currently lives in is being demolished in June and he is still waiting on the septic designer to submit his plans for approval. He is intending to put a double-wide on a lot on Miller Pond Road, has cleared the land and put the driveway in (driveway permit approved). He would like to pour the foundation and stated that the house cannot be set until the septic design is approved.

Chairman Jones questioned if there are any wetlands on the five (5) acres? The hand drawn sketch shows a stream in the back of the property.

Mr. Turner stated that he doesn’t believe wetlands are an issue and the intended spot for the septic is in the front of the property.

Selectman Hutchins asked if there was a preliminary drawing of the septic available. Mr. Turner answered there was not.

The Board unanimously agreed that a waiver would not be granted and unfortunately Mr. Turner will have to wait for septic approval prior to obtaining a building permit.
