7:00 p.m. J.R. called the meeting to order. Ken Swayze, re: various building inspection items.

Ken came in to discuss building enforcement and compliance issues. He was specifically seeking advice on temporary car shelters and agricultural use permits. He indicated that not everyone is seeking permits, including for greenhouses, and wants to know who assesses and how. J.R. asked if the new code shed any light on these questions. Ken responded that it did not; it is up to the Town. He wants to be sure that he is treating everyone equally. A discussion concerning what constitutes a permanent versus a temporary structure took place. Chuck and Mert notified Ken that the following make it a permanent structure:
• Having electricity
• Having permanent heating
• If it is up through the winter
• Metal buildings over 100 square feet

J.R. asked Ken to call area Towns and see what they do and if we need an administrative rule, then we will create one. He also noted that they may need to propose a change to the zoning ordinance at Town Meeting to cover car shelters.

J.R. asked Ken if he has been to the gravel pit on Ray Rd. Ken replied that he has not, since he is waiting for Officer Connelly. J.R. mentioned that he has seen full trucks coming in and out of there.

Ken mentioned that Jacques Belanger has done a good job with compliance, but that the final inspection has not been done yet.

7:30 p.m. Other Business:
Chuck mentioned that the final meeting of the Facilities Committee will be on June 5th at 7 p.m. at the School.

She will check with Woody to see when he needs him to work at the Transfer Station, most likely on Sat.’s until school gets out, but with the possibility of working on Wed.’s also. He will be able to paint the cemetery fences, work in the recycling center and perhaps do some office work such as filing, etc.
