Jenny McWhorter and Wendy Skowcroft had questions of how to proceed
with the land they want to buy for a small dog kennel to be used by SPCA.
According to current information they have they will not meet zoning
requirements for setbacks. We advised them to obtain a survey of the property
so they will have exact figures to approach the ZBA. They may not need an area
variance dependant on their findings.

Barry S informed the board that Jeff H was notified by email of previous
changes to the March minutes in regard to statements he made about definition
of structures. If he was in agreement with the changes he did not need to
respond to the email. Since there was no response made we assume the issue is
resolved to his satisfaction.

regard to dog kennels. No changes are necessary.

There was lengthy discussion concerning jurisdiction in the area of
issuing special use permits and area variances. It is clear in our code and
state town law that the ZBA has authority in the latter. We want to discuss
further the current zoning code language and our role in special use permits
with the other members of the PB. This will be a topic of discussion at the
next PB meeting.

We also expressed concerns about communication between the PB, ZBA, TB,
and code enforcement officer. We feel it would be beneficial to devise a means
of keeping abreast of business that concerns these boards.
