Public comment – non-agenda items

  • Toni Capriglione appeared before the Board to ask questions regarding the difficulty she is having selling her home as a nonseasonal home. Herb alerted Board members not to opine. She stated her property card states Residential and thought that meant nonseasonal.  Herb stated Residential is one of the three districts in Stoddard and has nothing to do with seasonal or nonseasonal. Rural and Lake are the other two districts. Harry explained a nonseasonal residence usually has a Certificate of Operation from the State showing the septic system load is in compliance with State regulations. The residence must also have been lived in more than two hundred seventy (270) days per year. Toni has submitted an incomplete application for a Variance. It was suggested she speak to the Selectmen regarding her situation.

Jason made a motion for adjournment and Doug second the motion.  The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathleen Ellis

Secretary for ZBA
