Royce Alley was into Town Hall in response to the Selectmen’s letter inquiring what he was doing with his property on Rte 153 (U01-044-000). He had been issued a building permit in 2006 to construct a capped foundation but no further plans had ever been submitted. There was concern that the capped foundation was being used as living space without benefit of either a well or septic. Mr. Alley indicated he wanted to file a building permit and was proposing to divide the capped foundation into a garage and living space. However, he was informed this would not meet the minimum 720 square feet living space requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. He was also informed that he needed a septic system approved by the State for operation, a well, an energy certification number, and compliance with Life Safety 101. Mr. Alley said the septic had been installed but never approved by the State for operation, he was making arrangements for a well to be installed and he would modify his plans to meet the 720 square feet requirement for living space. These requirements had to be met before a building permit could be issued. Later in the week, Mr Alley visited Rick Young and had a further discussion about these issues.
Susan Brooks signed checks.
Cassie Pallon from Connecticut had written with concerns over trash being dumped on Ridge Rd. Elwyn Thurston had investigated and concluded the problem lay in Conway.
