7:05 PM Jeremy Beamer – Preliminary Consultation regarding lot line adjustment The meeting was called to order. Jeremy Beamer was present. Beamer stated that he lives in an open space development and wanted to inquire about doing a lot line adjustment with the open space. Hall Jr. asked who owns the open space. Beamer stated that the open space is jointly owned by the homeowners in the subdivision. Arico stated that he could replace the open space with land from his own lot. Griffin feels that Beamer needs to replace the open space and also needs the consent of the other homeowners. Beamer stated that he has not approached the other homeowners yet. Beamer stated that he is trying to prevent any legal issues if anyone gets hurt in the common land that is next to his driveway. Hall Jr. asked if Beamer could extend his driveway for more parking. Beamer stated that he could if he can not do the lot line adjustment. Griffin stated that the adjustment would affect all the homeowners’ deeds. Arico stated that Beamer should also check the corner he would replace the open space with to see if it is over 25% slopes. If it is, it can not be used as open space. It was the board’s consensus that Beamer must replace the open space with land from his lot that has similar characteristics to that in the swapped open space should he go forth with a lot line adjustment.

7:24 PM Fire Department Jay Wilson, of the Mont Vernon Fire Department was present. Wilson stated that they will be putting a radio tower behind the fire station on the town hall side. The tower will be approximately 40-50 feet. Immorlica stated that the planning board does not have any jurisdiction in this area and the fire department is looking for input. Wilson stated that the first 20’ will be mounted to the building and the rest will be freestanding. Arico questioned if this would be something children will be tempted to climb. Wilson stated that it will be secured with a fence around it and they will not be able to climb it. Arico asked if it will serve the same function as 4 antennas. Wilson replied yes and added that it will be owned by the town and used only for emergencies. Wilson stated that they will be getting information from the contractor, find out about the price and go to the Selectmen. Immorlica stated that she did not see where it is in violation of any of their ordinances. The board was comfortable with the plan.
