Erics Greehouse has constructed a new open storage shed on the
front of the property. It is considered to be called a shade
house. Mr. LeClaire informed the Board that the shade house is
also too close to the wetlands. Mr. LeClaire, the Building In-
spector sent Erics a cease and desist order on May 9 , 1988
(certified mail) which was received on May 12 , 1988 . Since
receiving this notice Erics continues to disregard the Town's or-
ders. Mr. LeClaire told the Board when he goes into District
Court in Woburn, Judge Cullen does not want to hear cases regard
ing zoning issues.
The Town Manager suggested that the Master decide the case in Su-
perior Court. Mr. LeClaire mentioned that if the Master settles
-' the case neither will like his decision.
Cathy Quimby, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals asked the
Board why has this case not been settled, and Erics just con-
tinues to do what they want.
The Board would like Ted Cohen, Town Counsel to be at the meeting
on the 24th of May.
Collective Bargaining
All contracts are being negotiated for 5-5-4 1/2. The Selectmen
asked Mr. Hechenbleikner to keep them updated on the nego-
tiations. The Town Manager informed the Board that Insurance is
a big issue.
Selectmen Ziegler suggested that each of the Selectmen take two
contracts each so that they would have more expertise with the
ones that they were given. It was agreed however that all the
the Selectmen should know each contract individually.
