MINUTES

1. Ms. Brown made a motion to accept the minutes of 06/26/07 and 04/24/07. Mr. Ayotte seconded the motion and the vote of the Committee was unanimous in favor.

ATTENDANCE

Mr. Ron Humason, 56 Sam West Road, attended the meeting to discuss the EDU assessment on his property. Mr. Humason presented a map showing the property comprises of three separate parcels. One parcel is in an Industrial zone and does not have two hundred feet of frontage and would not qualify for sale as an estate lot. Mr. Humason had contracted to have a new property map made when he realized that he was being taxed on property he did not even own. The property containing the salvage yard is the only parcel that actually abuts the sewer line. At the time the property was assessed, it may have been assumed that the property could have been developed for residential dwellings. Members of the Planning Board have assured Mr. Humason that a zone change to allow building in an industrial zone was not likely. The only residential dwelling on Mr. Humason’s property does not abut the sewer line. The Sewer Committee members agreed that the open parcel of land should have been evaluated at 1.5 EDU’s, .75 for the existing business building, and .75 for the open land. The open land has a limited potential due to the restrictions of the Industrial zone. Ms. Brown made a motion to recommend to the Board of Selectman acting as Sewer Commissioners for an EDU reduction from the current 3.33 EDU’s to 2 EDU’s. Mr. Patria seconded the motion and the vote of the Committee was unanimous in favor. A letter will be issued to the Board of Selectmen with the recommendation.

As there was no further business to discuss, Mr. Ayotte made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Patria seconded the motion and the vote of the Committee was unanimous in favor.

Respectfully submitted,

Jean Nilsson, Secretary
