On Oct. 15 the Orange Select Board approved a building permit for a detached garage at 173 Brock Hill Rd and renewed the town’s health officer while tabling a proposed revaluation contract until members had time to review it.
The board approved the minutes of the Oct. 1 public meeting and voted to seal the Oct. 1 nonpublic minutes. Betsy Coble moved to approve the public minutes, seconded by Sandi Pierson; Sandi Pierson moved to approve and seal the nonpublic minutes, seconded by Aaron Allen. Both motions passed, recorded in the minutes as 3/0/0.
A building permit submitted by Vanasse for map 10, lot 9 at 173 Brock Hill Rd had the Building Inspector’s sign-off and required fee. Aaron Allen moved to approve the permit; Betsy Coble seconded and the motion passed 3/0/0.
Building Inspector Doug Weekes raised a separate drainage concern for an addition being built at 472 Tuttle Hill Rd by owner Peter Shank.
