1.) Building Inspection/Zoning Enforcement Update

a.) Ms. Arn explained to the Selectmen that the Building Inspector/Zoning Enforcer, Bill Condra, had visited 17 Pleasant Street per a complaint that was filed by Linda Bravo.  She noted the barn was deemed condemned and the owner was soliciting bids to repair the roof and ensure the home is adequately repaired.  She further noted that the owner, Mr. Keith Frolkey had suffered a heart attack but was working to solve the problem.  There was no further discussion on the matter.

b.) Ms. Arn explained to the Selectmen that Bill Condra had visited 70 Curtis Farm Road per a complaint filed by James. T Prejsnar.  She noted Mr. Condra had determined the owner James Jasper complies with the Wilton land use and zoning ordinances relevant to the conduct of Home Occupations.  Mr. Donovan asked to table to the discussion until Mr. Greene was present as he disagreed with the conclusions of Mr. Condra.  There was no further discussion on the matter.

2.) Grayson Parker – Tax Refund

Mr. Grayson Parker appeared before the board with Mr. Scott Brown to discuss a clerical error made by the Town of Wilton in regards to his tax bill.  He explained that his land was not in current use in 2003 and 2004 but when he came to the Tax Collector to change the use, the error was discovered.  Therefore, he is requesting a credit.  Mr. Donovan explained to Mr. MacFarland that New Hampshire General Law prevents the Selectmen from approving a credit or refund if the owner did not apply for the relief by March of the following tax bill.  Therefore, they cannot approve the relief.  Mr. Donovan offered to speak to the Town Attorney to see if there was anything they could do for Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker thanked the Selectmen for their time.  There was no further discussion on the matter.

3.) Ambulance

Mr. MacFarland asked Staff to contact the Wilton/Lyndeborough/Temple Ambulance Association again for the Income and Expenditures from their Gift Fund.  Staff noted there will be a meeting with the Association on March 14, 2005.  There was no further discussion on the matter.

4.) Other Business

a.) Lynn Draper, Chairman of the Conservation Commission appeared before the Selectmen to ask for a paper ballot and an hour worth of voting time at the next Town Meeting for the proposed conservation bond issue.  It was noted the issue needs to be first on the agenda or immediately following operating expenses. There was no further discussion on the matter.

b.) Mr. MacFarland asked Staff to contact Stan for a meeting regarding the status of the MACC Base fee structure. Staff agreed. There was no further discussion on the matter.
