APPOINTMENT:
Representatives from Stantec gave an update on the meeting that took place with the Department of Environmental Services. DES agreed to the three stage approach at Blodgett’s Wastewater Treatment Facility. They also agreed to switch the priority of phase one and phase two due to the ranking of importance of phase one for the federal funding. DES originally had phase two being done before phase one. The selectmen told the Stantec representatives to move forward with the engineering phase of phase one. Stantec will do this and will report back to DES.
APPOINTMENT:
Joshua Perkins approached the Board of Selectmen with a sign permit application. He is requesting putting an 8’ x 12’ granite slab with words engraved in the middle of the sign. There is discussion on whether the sign size should include the entire size of the granite, or just the part that holds the words. The Board decided that this should be brought to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for their review. The Board agreed to submit a letter to the ZBA in support of the sign.
NEW BUSINESS:
Pavlicek informed the Board of the Planning Board’s decision to approve the B & B application for George and Linda West.
Pavlicek said that he is looking for two members for the scenic byways committee. The Board suggested that Frank McConnel and Kerry Behrens be asked to be town representatives along with Pavlicek.
