Hugh Wilkerson, Map 7, Lot 47:
A telephone call was received by Sonny Harris from Mr. Wilkerson regarding the Right of Way and the abutters which were two of the conditions recorded in the minutes of January 11, 2011. Sonny Harris advised the original plan did not show any abutters, and it would not be appropriate to put abutters on the ancient plan now. Also, there was no record of the Right of Way into William Churchill Heselton’s lot. At this time, the Planning Board agreed, there should not have been any conditions.
Motion was made by Sonny Harris to rescind the following two conditions that were approved at the January 11, 2011 Planning Board meeting.
1. A recordable plan by a surveyor, showing stone wall and abutters.
2. Showing Right of Way into William Churchill Heselton’s lot.
