Subject: On July 14, 2010, the Board of Appeals granted a variance for insufficicent road frontage for Robert and Lynn Threell, 309 Libby Road. This variance granted included two conditions that the Board of Selectmen have now requested be reconsidered by the Board of Appeals.

If the Board does vote to reconsider, a public hearing will be scheduled, all parties will be notified, and public comment can be received at that hearing.*The reason for the shortened notice for this meeting is in order to comply with the 30 day reconsideration deadline.
