Dee Reid asked how often shore land violations happen. Frank stated there are many throughout the year and would like to post the top 10 shore land violations that can be avoided. It was suggested to list these violations in the Town Report with his yearly report. Frank will get the shore landowners from the Town’s Assessor, Rob Duplisie, when he comes in February.
Frank reported he did not find any building permits for Ashley Landry prior to 1999 for the house and noted a permit would not have been needed for a foundation. Frank will check with the Planning Board and have them check their records. A portion of the property is within the 250’ of shore land zoning. Earle

Denise told the Board she had a phone call from Ms Newman stating the pit bulls had been in her yard and on her porch again. Denise reviewed this issue stating Raymond Tucker, ACO, had contacted the DA who said pictures of the dogs on her property would be necessary to proceed and documentation of when the dogs came on her property.

She then called Denise and the Sheriff’s Dept. The Sheriff’s Dept referred her back to the DA. The Board will talk with Raymond and instruct him to proceed with the pictures and documentation given by Ms. Newman. Raymond has spoken with the dog owners in the past and informed them if the dogs are not kept tied up, the DA will prosecute. Ms. Newman stated the dogs were on her porch on 2/5/06 and came around the house when Mr. Grindle went outside. She stated the black and brown pit bull is very dangerous and does not back down. She expressed her concern that someone is going to be hurt by these dogs and expressed her opinion the owner, Elaine Carnahan, does not have control over the two dogs.
