            Map 4, Lot 17A – Ojala – A stop work order has been put on their driveway because of stream protection violations.  The Ojala’s have had a survey done and now the Planning Board must decide on the setback amount.  DEP has checked on the situation and agreed that there are serious violations.  The Planning Board can possibly take untill spring to make decisions because work cannot be done until the weather clears.  The CEO will continue to correspond with the Ojalas.

            Map 2, Lot 4 – Patten – Mr Goodall, lawyer for Mrs Patten, was here to explain the extensive plans for the buildings on the former Camp Four Winds property.   The Planning Board members were given the applications and plans last month to review before discussing the applications.  The plans have changed somewhat and the changes were discussed at length.  Mr Goodallsays that the buildings are above floodplain requirements.  This land is one lot in the Patten subdivision and is to be treated as such.  The Planning Board will continue the review and decide about a public hearing, they also requested a site visit.  A date will be set.  Mr Patterson was present to represent the Town and the Planning Board.  Both lawyers will confer on several legal points raised during discussions.  The applications were accepted for review and a permit fee of $150.00 was received.
