Mr. Marsh was there at the request of the Selectmen to discuss 2 Land Use Change Tax forms he had submitted and a sales survey recommendation.

Selectman Weeks responded that the town allows 2 residences on one lot and that the original 4 acres is actively used for storage. Mr. Marsh said he was not aware of that and would revise the form. The LUCT form for Boggs was issued because Mr. Marsh found a parking area in addition to the storage shed. The Selectman approved the recommendation. The sales review memo in which Mr. Marsh suggested a review of properties that were showing wide ranges of ratios. He felt that the sales should be reviewed to verify that the physical data is correct and that they are qualified sales. The Selectmen were not inclined to do that at this time so Mr. Marsh suggested sending letters requesting information in regards to the type of sale and physical data.

At approximately 9:30 Selectmen met with Gerry Holmberg regarding the reclamation plan for his gravel pit. Selectman Weeks said that because of its location it has a lot of public interest. Mr. Holmberg explained that he is looking to move his septic system closer to 109A in order to create a landscape berm to provide a visual barrier of the gravel pit. He is also looking to relocate the existing driveway. As far as the actual pit reclamation is concerned, he will establish slopes starting at Sandy Knoll and seed the property to turn it into fields. It will extend to where it abuts the Bean property in back. Mr. Holmberg already has a stockpile of topsoil that he can use since it will take quite a bit of topsoil to cover 4 inches over the whole area. In regards to his new septic design, Selectman Weeks advised Mr. Holmberg to go to the Planning Board for a preliminary discussion of his future plans in order to help everyone understand what is going on.
