Summary

The Select Board reviewed four building and driveway permit requests July 30: two approvals contingent on septic design, one permit approved, and one denied. Applications included new dwellings, an outbuilding, a lean-to, and a front porch.

The Select Board logged four permit matters on the July 30 agenda. Two applications were approved conditionally pending septic design: Evan Mitchell (Tax Map 15-50) for a 20' x 30' two‑story dwelling with two 8' x 30' overhangs and a 25' x 40' roofed outbuilding; and Mike Carter (Tax Map 22-4) for a replacement double-wide mobile home sized 28' x 44' to replace a previously approved 28' x 40'.

One application, by Scott Chausee (Tax Map 22-59) to add a 16' x 8' lean‑to to an existing garage, was recorded as approved. A request from Gerald Lane (Tax Map 25-86) for a 17.5' x 10' covered front porch was recorded as not approved. The minutes state the outcomes but do not record mover/second details or the specific reasons for denial or the technical septic concerns that prompted the conditional approvals.

Permits that are conditional on septic designs will remain incomplete until the town receives septic plans and any required septic approvals. The minutes do not list appeal rights, fees, or deadlines for resubmission.
