Marjorie Merena called the meeting to order at
PUBLIC BUSINESS:
Bruce Russell came into the
Selectboard to inquire why Russ K. was inquiring about whether or not his son’s
plans for a common driveway on his subdivided land had proper approval. Russ K.
said he had been asked by an abutter whether or not Andy Russell had appeared
before the Zoning Board in order for them to consider whether to grant a
Special Exception. Russ K. said he didn’t know but would find out and get back
to them. Bruce Russell was upset by this and stated that the abutters were
upset that they hadn’t bought the land. Bruce Russell stated Andy had been
given permission by Bob Moore for the common driveway. Russ K. showed Bruce
Russell a plot plan and asked where the common driveway was going. Bruce
pointed out the location and asked Russ if there was a problem with that. Russ
K. said there could be problems with it if the land changed hands. Russ K. stated a common driveway is granted
and deeded, all who have legal access to the common driveway have legal right
to it then. Russ K. said that he feels the Zoning Board must have a hearing on
an application for a request for a common driveway. Russ A. stated that Bob
Moore would be in later and we would discuss it with him. Bob Moore came in and
the situation with Andy Russell’s common driveway was discussed. Russ K. looked
at section 414 and section 305.1 along with Bob Moore. Bob Moore said he hadn’t
realized that a Special Exception was needed. Russ A. suggested that Bob Moore
speak with Bruce Russell because he had left feeling everything was ok.
