6. 8:35 p.m. Christopher Ross came in to address a sign issue on his property. He explained he has two 4’ x 4’ signs on his property and explained the construction of the signs. He miscalculated the square foot requirements and was looking for approval of the signs. B. Kullgren explained that the Planning Board has no enforcement authority and Mr. Ross would need to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance. A. Pickman read the regulations. Mr. Ross asked if the Planning Board was requiring him to remove the signs. B. Kullgren said no, and asked if Mr. Ross had been notified by the Selectmen. S. Fiske said the Selectmen had sent a letter the day before. S. Fiske explained the signs could be cut in half to meet the requirements. Mr. Ross said he would consider options. B. Kullgren explained this issue was not personal but it is a town regulation. Mr. Ross also wished to express displeasure with Rae Barnhisel. He wanted the Planning Board to address the fact she wrote to his realtor. He threatened a restraining order or lawsuit against R. Barnhisel. John Bauchat asked for specific dates of past problems. Mr. Ross said he did not have that information with him. B. Kullgren affirmed that R. Barnhisel was acting as a citizen and not as a Planning Board member. He suggested that Mr. Ross modify his signs, sell his building lots, and take a vacation. S. Fiske asked Mr. Ross if he was informing potential buyers of the existence of the old town landfill. Mr. Ross did not believe he had a responsibility to inform people. S. Fiske reminded him, it was in his original subdivision paperwork, that he would show the landfill on maps of the PRD (planned residential development). B. Kullgren told Mr. Ross to remind potential buyers that abutting people are happy and healthy. Mr. Ross said he was angry about the whole situation. Discussion followed. B. Kullgren felt the Planning Board should notify the Selectmen of this incident. M. Connolly felt R. Barnhisel was harassing Mr. Ross and wanted it on record as such. B. Kullgren offered to set up an appointment with the Selectmen to discuss the matter.

S. Fiske motioned, seconded by A. Pickman to adjourn meeting, adjourned 9:20 p.m.
