  • Michie Revised Tree Application – 69 Lakewood Manor Road – Aaron spoke on behalf of the owner. He explained that there will be some blueberry bushes planted on the slope. Bob hopes they will keep native species on the lot. Aaron said the plans include something for privacy, so they will most likely be planting some more trees by the road as well. Katheryn asked Aaron to be sure to send follow-up photos after the project is completed. Aaron said the highway department has asked the property owner to make some changes to the driveway application. Aaron showed the changes that are being made to stop runoff.

 

Katheryn said the NCC will make comments on the application and send along to the Selectboard for their review.

 

  • Alden & Carol Beauchemin – 93 Gillingham Drive – Alden distributed his application to the Commissioners. They are proposing a small log cabin overlooking the lake.
