2. TREASURER REPORT: October Report were reviewed and accepted.
3. TAX COLLECTORS & IFW REPORT: October Report Read and accepted.
4. SOLID WASTE UPDATE: Received the information for Lily Bay Transfer. Kim will make copies and have in office for those wanting the information. Questions on the bill that was sent out for the Landfill closure. Got email there was a mistake and not to pay till further notice. County had verbalized they also had a problem with the billing. Rod mentioned he preferred a bill that went from July through December instead of partial bills. Selectmen agreed it was a wise move to not go with a 20 year contract with all the changing cost factors. Come July we can review Greenville again. Kim will keep in touch with Cindy for the top figure.. Tonnage out of the Lily Bay State Park is the Town’s responsibility. Rod will take this up with Marilyn & get a contract to review in December meeting.
5. ROADS UPDATE: Trailers were impounded that were left onside of road. Owners were called, workers told to move them, police notified and called them also and deadline was given of which they did not meet and they were impounded. Some people were complaining about the slashing of the trees and clearing of road sides. Pat took full responsibility as he gave permission. Mass majority of the comments had been praising the work. Rod voiced Board felt they made the right decision for the safety of the roads and Pat had full support from all the board. Alan explained he was clearing the sides back to the original markers when they were first built and that if it had been kept up with it would not look so drastic. There was a lot of brush over grown and no one had gone over the Town ROW. Come spring everything would look just fine Mother Nature will take care of itself. All this was to help the grader and plow truck to do their job safely and efficiently. Creating safer driving with better visibility. There has been a lot of material brought in and it has just been being pushed into the ditches. Needed to wing back vegetation for grader, in past some culverts were not installed because there was suppose to be ledge but found there was no ledge. New culverts have been installed and ditches have been cleaned and worked on to make them more efficient. Jack apologized for not being at more meetings to know what was going on. He felt the road overall were in good shape some bumps. He felt power company had done a wonderful job on the power lines and was not sure why the Town went behind them to do more. The grass was mowed after the flowers and that was good but the roads seemed to be getting rough and felt they should have had a final grading. Then there were small trees cut down that he felt didn’t have to be cut. He said his biggest objection was that trees & brush was shredded and not cut, maybe sharpen the blades so it would look better. He had Scott Higgins go around with him and showed him the mess. Then he said he called Rod and ended up hanging up on him of which he apologized for. Rod had felt there conversation had gone well over all. Jack felt some trees had been pushed into the woods, looked like a truck had hit them then he found out a tractor had pushed them back. Felt they did not have to be touched and if they did they should have been cut. Alan explained they had pushed them back because they were overhanging and could have been a problem. He also explained they had all ready gone and cut the trees and cleaned them up. Jack thought they were nice stands of trees and Pat explained they were a hazard potential visually. Rod explained that the whole intention is to prepare and clear ROW for work in spring and have a proper grading, it was not to encroach on property owners. Jack explained he and Joan had lived here 20 years now and it has always been a good community. There have always been differences in the past. Hopes we can keep community going, feels the Town is on the verge of being unorganized. Rod asked if there were any other comments on the complaining side. Wally spoke, states he lives on 947 Black Point Road. His concerns were for the most part why the road had been opened up so much on North Ridge. There is no ditching and felt there was no need to have it opened like an interstate in the community. He said he had received calls from other seasonal people complaining about cutting back beyond boulders. Trees were a guideline somewhat for the sides of the road. The snow will be pushed back creating a false edge and someone could think it was the road and could land in the ditch get seriously hurt. As a taxpayer he is very concerned. Rod responded he felt the roads were far from being like the interstate, vegetation really needed to be pushed back as it had not been done for so many years and it will end up help drying up the roads. He can expect some disagreement. Jerry Hoag, Deer Yard Lane spoke felt the Board should have had more signage up for work being done for safety reasons. Chips come quite a ways out in the road and the signage would alert people otherwise unexpecting. Pat said the point was well taken. Gerry also spoke that Alan brought up about pins. Bl. Point can’t go 25" ROW in some places like Sudol’s place. Places like Beaver Cove Camps & past that would be very possible to overstep to the property owners. The White Birch near John Burton’s was badly damaged should be cut down. Alan spoke up and said he had talked to many property owners all ready. His flail tool is a lot cheaper to run than a chipper. Comment to just cut down a tree instead of leaving it damaged. Rod said they would go through on a case by case basis. Scott made comment that he felt wood chips would be gone by the first snow storm. Jeff Borgue from 258 spoke felt signage was a good idea and cutting best to be done when most of the people were gone instead of summer when everyone here. A lot would not want the noise. He noticed there was a speed limit change Board explained that came about with the ATV & snowmobile being allowed on the roads and several walkers had asked that it be lowered. Jack said what caught him was he didn’t know what was going on and obviously that is his own fault. Bill Manahan on 29 West Birch Lane spoke up and said he felt Alan was doing a great job, and being in construction himself felt that what was being done was exactly what should be being done and that things were going on the right track. They were going to grade the pot holes out to actually fix them right. Robert Frederick spoke and said he felt the roads were in very good condition in Beaver Cove. Rod finished saying that they would be looking for more aggressive grading. Something that will take some paint off the blade.
6. LURC: Meredith Drinkwater Map 8 Lot 125 for a breezeway. Also Benjamin Henszey Map 9 Lot 254.6 extension of deck. Rod also explained that LURC could not enforce signage ordinances or force them to move the signs. Jack asked about the BCA ordinance. Rod said it was not association property. Could call Prudential and ask them to remove sign that was on the Circle but DOT would have to be called on the other one.
7. OLD NEWS:
8. NEW NEWS: Fireworks ordinance discussed. Tax payer had brought up the issue with Kim. Felt it could be dangerous with all the woods near us. Pat felt it would be hard to police as Greenville has thousands of people. You can’t legislate stupidity. If a fire starts there will be a fine. And it will be addressed
9. Meeting closed at 8:16
