The purpose of this Special Board Meeting was to discuss and vote on the clearing of the end of Crestwood Dr. To make it into a hammerhead so the Town of Coventry will accept the road. A motion was made to add $2,100.00 from the checking account into the road account to get Crestwood ready to transfer to the Town of Coventry. 4 Board Members voted in favor, there was one abstention.

Special Board Meeting
October 8, 2011

Meeting was called to order by President Ray Chicoine at 9:16 am at 54 Lakeview Drive. Board Members present were Bob Allison, Pat Halpin and Christina Pierce.

This meeting was called to discuss an e-mail Ray received from Darby Polinsky who is member of Coventry Planning & Zoning Committee. Connecticut Water asked the Town of Coventry if they want .08 acres (72’ x 50’) on the corner of Hilltop and Lakeview Dr. on which a well is located.

Christina has gone to the Assessor Office to see what CT Water is being assessed on the parcel and they are paying taxes on both that parcel and the ball field, therefore it appears to be over accessed.

Ray is going to Town Hall on 10/11 and get the current assessment value for the parcel.

The Oleskewskis’ placed a bid on July 25th for $1,200.00 on the parcel.
The Town received a letter on August 3rd asking if they wanted the parcel donated to them by the Water Company, if they abandon and cap the well.

Ray is going to the Planning and Zoning Meeting on Tuesday October 11th and ask them to table the donation.
