Sam Proctor attended the meeting to report on what he had found out concerning the Putnam Road Association.   Attorney Wilson Sullivan researched the Registry of Deeds and found no recording of a document that indicates there is in fact such an association.  He presented the Board with a draft of a Stipulation and Release Agreement written by Attorney Sullivan, that Patricia Babineau and Marie Sirois would be willing to sign with the Town of Wilton.  The agreement states that the Lot D-020 will be accessed by Putnam Hill Road which will be for construction of single-family only and the lot will not be further subdivided.  The owners are willing to agree to the town’s requirements if the lot is approved.  They will be going before the Zoning Board to ask permission to make this one building lot. It was noted that all frontage is on Putnam Hill Road.  Discussion ensued as to the agreement that was drawn up by Attorney Sullivan about further sub-division of another lot and he thought that it would be a good idea to inform the Board before going through the engineering work.

MOTION:  Selectman Rockwood made a motion that the Stipulation and Release Agreement as written by Attorney Sullivan and signed by owners, Patricia Babineau and Marie Sirois be approved and signed by the Board of Selectman. Selectman McDonough seconded the motion.  Motion passed with 2 yeas and one abstains.

Mr. Proctor will come by the office when he has the agreement signed for both owners this week.

Jim Tuttle attended the meeting to discuss the dam.  Jim stated that Brian Desfosses from DES Dam Safety had called him about a letter that had been written by the Selectmen.  The letter informed them of the status of the dam inspection and asked for a list of firms or consultants they would recommend for the inspection.  Discussion ensued with no resolution being made.

Discussion ensued as to the agreement made with Colby Realty.   Mr. Tuttle stated that he was not aware of the agreement made by Attorney Little and Attorney Gannon.   Selectman Rockwood stated that Attorney Little stated that he had spoken in the beginning to Jim Tuttle about the agreement.  Mr. McGettigan also stated that he was aware of the agreement and that he had discussed it with Mr. Tuttle.  Mr. Tuttle then stated that he was just not aware of the payment that Colby Realty had made.

Mr. Tuttle stated that he is concerned about the drainage on Robbins Road.  He said that it has not been cleaned out in a long time.  He feels that there is more water in the area and would like to have it looked at.  Steve will be advised.
