ANDR~ CIRCLER EALTYTRUSTFARTHREMOVAL PER31IT: DECISION (Serio, Prizelle, DiFruscio,
& Noble) - Frizelle reiterated what had transpired at the last meeting. Since that
meeting he had talked with Town Counsel on an interpretation of the By-L~w regarding
removal. Town Counsel's interpretation is that a private property owner can remove
one section to another on a parcel. Frizelle asked if it might not be more prudent
to grant a permit with conditions that would control it in the best interest of the
Town and the abutters taking into consideration the various parts of the By-Law~
Also, could ask for a declaratory judgment of the By-Law in the way the BOJ~D inter-
prets it. An injmuction would then be in order against ~ny action at the site.
No conclusions and the matter deferred until Sept. 27th at 7 P.M.

197~ at 7 P.M. in the To'~n Office Meeting Room. The following members were present

R. Louis DiFruscio, Clerk; James D. Noble, Jr.; and. Richard J. Trepanier.
ANDR~ CIRCLE REALTYTRUSTEARTH REM~OV~%L PErmafIT: DECISION - Trepanier stated that
under Sec. 10.31, Conditions for Special Permit, we don't know yet whether the Town
is going to take the pond or how it will be run. A responsibility we have involves
ensuring that it is not a nuis~ance, hazard, etc. and quoted from the By-Law.
Letter from Con. dated June 27 was read. Also, letter from the Planning Board.
Prizelle spoke in agreement with Trepanier's interpretation of the ~y-Law in that one
can move from one part of the lot to the other. The indication is that there is more
gravel there than what they need for their own pu~ooses. Question arose whether or
not there should be a bond established to protect the To~m and for a 5 acre site there
would be a substantial amount required. Trepanier commented that he has no qualms
about removing gravel from a site but concerned about how it would be handled. Don't
know what is going to happen to the pond. The question of the size of the pond h~s
burdened us all, added Frizelle. Noble surmised that they would need 3 acres just to
fill their own needs for the subdivision, not including selling anything to the outside.
Serio stated that he did not feel the people who bought in that area want to have a
5 acre pond in their back yard, i~ is a hazard and not in favor at all.
Motion made by Noble to DEN/the Special Permit for earth removal. The BOARD did not
feel that all the conditions of Sec. ~0.31 of the By-Law h~d been met. Second by
Trepanierand ~uanimous vote.
