Selectmen Wright moved to approve the Minutes of June 1, 1987 and Selectman O'Brien seconded the motion. All were in favor, the Minutes were approved.
Barbara Harris met with the Board to voice her disapproval of the Boards decision to allow Don Gadbois to move the road in front of his home so that he will have the proper setbacks. Mrs. Harris noted that if the Town ever decides to improve the road there will no room to do so. Hilda Wynn also disapproved of the plan and stressed that the road should not go any closer to the river.
The Board explained to those present that they contacted an Attorney for advise on the matter before giving Mr. Gadbois the ok to move the right—of—way as a solution to the problem. The Board noted that the Attorney advised them that it would be expensive for the Town to prove that the road is a Town Road as opposed to a right— of—way that is owned by Mr. Gadbois. The Board explained that they felt that it was in the best interest of the Town to allow him to move the right—of—way.
Mrs. Harris noted that the bridge leading to the road is a Town bridge and asked why the Town would pay to have the bridge built if it wasn't to lead onto a Town Road. She noted that that would mean that the bridge was built only for the person on the other side of the river. Selectman Chaput noted that the bridge leads to a public right—of—way, it just has not been proven to be a Town Road. The Board explained that the agreement with Mr. Gadbois is that he will move the right—of—way and the new one must meet the specifications of the Town. The building permit for his addition will not be signed by the Board until the proper set backs are met. This action does not decide the issue of whether or not the road is a Town one or not.
Mrs. Harris inquired about how a Road is upgraded from a Class VI to a Class V. She was informed that those interested would have to petition the Town.
The Board invited those present to investigate the matter further by researching archives in Concord regarding the Road. If any pertinent information is found, the Board will review it.
Phil Glazier noted that it has been his experience that a right— of—way that is shown on a map can not be moved legally. The Board was unaware of this and will check into it.
The Board reviewed a letter from George Brodeur regarding the status bf the road in front of Mr. Gabois' and also cautioned the Board about allowing Mr. Gadbois to move the road. A letter from property owners at the end of the road also opposed to the move.
Phil Glazier met with the Board to submit his building permit for work to be done on his store on Route 302. The Board reviewed the building permit application, Selectman Wright moved to approve the permit and Selectman O'Brien seconded the motion. All were in favor, the permit was approved. Mr. Glazier also inquired if a permit would be required to have a popcorn stand outside of the store, the Board advised him that he should come in for a permit just to be safe. Mr. Glazier also inquired if there were any regulations regarding the installations of street lighting for hissubdivision. The Board informed him that there was not but that he should be sure that the poles are placed away from the road enough to allow for plowing in the winter.
Frank Schofield met with the Board to discuss the letter sent to Shirley Ordway concerning a need for a building permit for an addition at their property and also for a violation regarding a gift shop in a trailer on their property.
Mr. Schofield noted that he had no intention of putting up an addition there was just some 2 by 4 's put up. He also noted that the trailer is duly registered, and he can do with it what he wants. He noted that the gift shop sign is down. He expressed his concerns that his freedoms were being violated by the Board of Selectmen. He also noted that he overheard Selectman O'Brien talking about Selectman Wright and he felt that this was unprofessional behavior for a Selectman and that she should not serve on the Board of Selectmen. Selectman Chaput informed Mr. Schofield that the Board would not listen to further discussion on that matter and asked him to stick to the matter that the Board wrote to them about.
Selectman Chaput explained that the Board did not have to let him speak at all since he was not on the agenda but they were recognizing him as a courtesy. Selectman Wright noted that he was unaware of any such vote taken on this subject by the Board or any such rule being posted to inform the public.
Mr. Schofield asked that he be provided with all copies of Town rules, regulations etc. The Board informed him that he could come into the office for any information that he needed.
Roger Durand, Lyons Motel, met with the Board regarding a letter that the Board sent him about a possible sign violation. Mr. Durand explained that he has not added any new signs since he has purchased the Motel so he is unaware of any violations. The Board informed him that the sign in question is the moveable one. Mr. Durand noted that that sign was present with the previous owners, he just had it repaired as it was damaged by the wind. He noted that the sign is 32 feet from the highway right—of—way. The Board will look into the matter and get back to him.
The Board discussed the issue of the agenda and the need to be on it to speak with the Board. Selectman Chaput noted that it was his understanding that the Board had decided to go along with an agenda for its meeting and if someone is not on the agenda they can be recognized as a courtesy but the Board does not have to allow them to speak. He noted that as Chairman he should have the option to stop someone when the discussion gets out of hand. Selectman Wright noted that he felt that as taxpayers they should be able to speak even if they are not on the agenda. Selectman O'Brien moved to have the Board of Selectmen run their meeting by the agenda process. She noted that if someone came in that was not on the agenda then they should be made to wait until the end of the meeting. She noted that the Board does not have to recognize someone not on the agenda, that person has no right to speak. Selectman Chaput agreed but noted that there had to be some leeway given. He asked that the Board think about the matter and be ready todiscuss it further at the next Selectmens Meeting.
