The above-referenced individuals came in to discuss the Ewans property on County Road, upgrading of the road, clearing of trees/stonewall to make the road 20 feet wide and the timing of the road for building permit and occupancy permit.  The Board will send a letter, allowing him to widen the road and stating the stipulations for his being granted an occupancy permit.

Fore the record:   The Board of Selectmen made the following statements for the record:   (Due to incorrect information in the Goffstown News and in the Bow Times)

                                 1. Regarding the Weston Subdivision, the total acres involved is 67 acres, NOT 21 acres.

 2. This area of town is a THREE acre minimum with 250 feet of road frontage, 40 ft setbacks.

3. Everett Road is a Class V to the swimming hold then six to 200 feet west of lot #1 & #2.

 4. The road was discontinued and abandoned from that point to Mansion Road.

The Board also noted for the record that the Department of Revenue was out on December 26, 2001 looking for the paper work on the Sales Ratio for the town.  The paperwork, which is to be prepared by the Board of Assessors, has not yet been completed.  There was also a complain that a taxpayer was looking for his abatement and had not received it as yet.  This was due to the fact that the Board of Assessors had not let the town office know of the abatement and it was not done in a timely manner.
