CEO REPORT:
Duane answered a request from Justin Franklin at 84 Horseshoe Lane to inspect new plumbing in the basement. Matt Eaton called about work needed on the shore on Stone Turtle. Duane told him that the owner was told that a plan needed to be submitted for safe repair/design of the steps to the shore. He was going to cut up downed trees for now. Received a call from Scott Parker about a building notification form for Hannah and Wilson Cusack’s new construction at 668 North Sedgwick Rd. Went to the site but Scott Parker was not there. The next day he sent specs for the house with attached ell & garage. Andrew Ceavil of BHHT called to discuss the small parking lot off Caterpillar Hill. Duane thought a request to add two parking spaces seemed okay. Adrian Smith on Black Pond holding off on building this year but may want a permit anyway.
