DISCUSSION WITH SUE & REID JORGENSON

The purpose of the discussion was to find out whether or not there was a building site on the Jorgenson's property at 9702 McFee Road, Section 13. A deed to the property gave proof of the Jorgenson's ownership. According to the January 1, 1985 assessment records the property in question containing 20 acres was owned by Elizabeth Ellsworth. The potential building site index card file showed that one potential building site had been allocated to Ellsworth's 20 acres which is now owned by the Jorgensons.

DISCUSSION WITH RICHARD KELLY

Copies of a tentative Land Use Plan and a site plan containing four proposed home sites were distributed for discussion. Mr. Kelly's proposed petition was to only request a zoning change on each of the four lots leaving home site and driveway approval to a later time. The commission discussed the configuration of the home sites with Mr. Kelly. The town's fee schedule for multiple driveway permits was also discussed. Mr. Kelly was advised that the fee schedule was under review.

NEXT MEETING DATE
