NEWBURY BOARD OF SELECTMEN
MINUTES OF JANUARY 2, 2008 MEETING
Selectmen: Richard Wright, Gary Budd
Town Personnel: Dennis Pavlicek, Town Administrator; Donna Long, Admin. Assistant;
Public: Bill Annable, Scott Wheeler
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
PUBLIC INPUT: Bill Annable asked the Board what action has taken place with the Cemetery Trustees regarding his property. He said that he has not heard from the Trustees since his last letter addressed to them in early October. Pavlicek stated that he will contact the Cemetery Trustees and set up a meeting with them, himself and Mr. Annable.
Scott Wheeler addressed the Board regarding several issues. The first issue he had was the repeat letter he received from the Assessor’s office in regards to current use. He received an initial letter in early summer outlining several things he needed to supply the town office. After meeting with Norm Bernaiche, it was determined that everything needed was already in his property files. He then received a second letter from the Assessor’s office stating he needed to submit the same things to the office again. He said there is a lack of communication within the office and would like things to be cleared up. Pavlicek will address the issue with the Assessors later in the week. The second issue that he discussed was the question of why he is being taxed for two parcels of
land that he owns that is technically one deeded parcel with a road running through it. Pavlicek said that the deed may have two tracts to it. It appears that the lots have been two since the state did the revaluation in 1993. The last issue Wheeler brought to the Board was the process of receiving a conditional use permit from the Planning Board. Wheeler stated that the process should include the approval of the state if wetlands are involved. He also mentioned that there is a resident that is doing a lot of cutting and filling in at a wetlands site, and Pavlicek said that he will discuss the matter with the Code Enforcement Officer.
