Planner Maurer has drafted a letter for the Selectmen's review. The
Town has to indicate by the 31st of December of this year, their intentions
to participate in the program and meet certain criteria. The Town meets
the criteria except as it relates to the building code. The Building
Code Committee has agreed to insert the necessary information initheir
draft presented to the Town Meeting. After the Town has been certified
on a temporary basis the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers or the U. S. Soil
Conservation Service will come and engineer the flood plain areas. After
that the Town has to meet certain requirements involving the adoption of
some type of flood plain zoning, The Board will look the draft letter
over and make a recommendation next week.
Motion: That the Board communicate with the Selectmen their endorsement
of the concept of the Flood Insurance Program and that they
wish to review the information presented for a formal recommendation
next week. (Mendes-Chavaree, Grant, MacFarlane, in favor, Nelson

12. Mr. Ralph Seifert and Mr. Walter Millette of Waldor Realty Corp., came
before the Board to discuss the performance bond on Mr. Millette's Pine
Needle Park. He was advised that Town Counsel reviewed the bond and his
recommendation was that from a legal point of view there was no problem
with the method but that the Planning Board did no specifically have this
method spelled out in the Rules and Regulations and that this was a matter
of policy. Town Counsel was also concerned with the fact that the amount
of the contract with Bella Construction Company was not equal to the total
value of the improvements. Town Counsel was also concerned with the fact
that the Town would not have access to the funds if either Bella Construction
or Waldor Realty defaulted. It was decided that Mr. Millette would bond
the required improvements in his subdivision with the bank pass book method,
13. Board discussed the Board of Appeals hearing of George Wojtkiewicz to
convert a two family dwelling to four families. Question was raised as to
any conflict of interest Mr. Wojtkiewicz might be in. It was noted that
4
the present zoning by-law was amended to read specifically to prevent
this type of conversion from happening in that area, it presently allows
for the conversion of a single family dwelling to two families provided
that the exterior structure of the dwelling is not changed. It was
suggested that Town Planner Meurer look into this matter, so that
the Board canmmake an intelligent recommendation.
13. Board discussed the Board of Appeals hearing of John Cotterii to sell
and service all -terrain vehicles and accessories on his property in a
Residence "A" Zone. It was suggested that Town Planner Maurer look into
this matter and present the information to the Board.
14. It was suggested that the Board set up a second meeting a week to review
Zoning By -Laws. They will meet on Friday evening, December 3 at 7 PM.
15. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board that he checked with Town Counsel
Grady about what would be needed on the Zoning By -Laws for the close of
the warrant by the 15th. There could be just a statement of intent that
we wanted to have review, but would have to have a full text before the
warrant is printed. Town Counsel suggested that an alternative would be
to put it off and hold for Special Town Meeting.
16. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board that the Capital Improvement Program
Committee held interviews with all departments, except School, Water and
Sewer and Fire Departments. The Committee is going to prepare a statement
that will be issued to the Planning Board, Selectmen and Finance Committee.
There will possibly be a joint meeting of the three. The intent is to have
report that would be included in the Finance Committee report. There will
be a meeting of the Committee on Thursday evenii�ng.
