Robert & Beverly Lovering met with the Board to submit a building permit application for a one car garage on their property on Lennon Road. Selectman Wright noted that the front setback was incorrectly measured as it was measured from the middle of the road. He explained that the setback should be measured from the edge of the right—of—way; in this case, the right—of—way ends 25 feet from the center line of the road. Selectman Wright noted that the front setback would be 40 feet, taking the 25 feet for the right—of—way into consideration. The application was amended.
Selectman Brown noted that he was concerned about the front setback because it is the minimum setback allowed. He stressed to the Loverings that 40 feet is the minimum and they should be careful to observe it. Selectman Wright suggested that they might want to place the garage a few feet back just to be sure.
Mr. Lovering agreed and noted that he had plenty of room to allow this.
Selectman Brown moved to approve the building permit, amended, and Selectman Harris seconded the motion. All were in favor.
The Board reviewed the list of abatements and refunds that were granted during the appeal process as a result of appeals by property owners. Selectman Brown moved to approve the list and pass it on the Tax Collector and Selectman Wright seconded the motion. All were in favor.
The Board considered the employment application that was submitted by Michael Fahey for the janitors position for the Town. The Board discussed the need to have the Rec Area bathrooms checked daily and allowed one hour per day by the janitor for this purpose.
Selectman Brown moved to hire Michael Fahey, as he is the most qualified applicant, and Selectman Harris seconded the motion. All were in favor. Selectman Wright noted that extra hours would be allowed in the first few weeks to allow him to get the cleaning caught up. The Board agreed.
The Board discussed a memo from Chief Gardiner regarding a possible sign violation at the Mt. Deception Campground. The Board asked that a letter be sent to the State as the sign is on their property.
The Board discussed the offer made by Fleet Bank to open a line of credit that would allow the Board to borrow money in anticipation of taxes on a last minute basis, as paperwork would not have to be process each time. The Board noted that the plan was a good one and asked that the paperwork be sent to them to review.

Selectman Wright noted that he is concerned with the State decision to give up responsibility for the brook that runs along Route 302, across his property. He noted that many years ago the State worked on the brook, installing culverts where they were needed. It his understanding that they no longer feel that they are responsible for it. He noted that if the culverts fail sometime in the future property owners could have problems with water and there would be a question as to who was responsible for paying to repair the culvert.
