Variance
request submitted by Veronica Purser. MS Purser requests a variance from 150'footage
on Hill rd., to 142'. Attended seminar in Liverpool on February 19th.
HIGHWAY REPORT:
Snow and wind has kept us very busy. Pushing back shoulders has found the weak spots in
our equipment. Have had to repair or replace cables, pulleys, cylinders, and brace arms
etc.
Peter Saltonstall informed us that he is closing on at least six lots, on Brooks and
Middlecott roads.
This will mean tow more lane miles to plow and sand. Have concerns of whether the pickup
can handle
another year of plowing. Maybe we should consider something bigger with something other
than
a driveway plow to handle the snow. Plow is twisted and been repaired many times and is
getting
very thin. In January we've distributed 408 ton of salt and sand mix on state roads and
350 ton
on town and county roads.

None.
