The Board met with Mr. Robert J. Racca Jr. of 13 Track Road
regarding his letter to the Board of April 17, 1982. Mr. Racca would like
to purchase the Town-owned lot adjacent to his property in order to build
an addition on his property. Mr. Racca met with the Board of Appeals on
April 14, 1982. The Board of Appeals felt that a denial without
predjudice would be in the best interest of the petitioner in order to
allow him to come before the Board within two years for a Special Permit.
Accordingly, the Board of Appeals unanimously denied the petition without
predjudice.

Chairman Wood stated that the previous owner of 13 Track Road had
petitioned the Board for the same request. The Board of Public Works, at
that time, approved, and the Board of Selectmen chose not to sell the
land.
Mr. Cowell asked if the new construction would infringe on the
Towns' easement. Superintendent Louanis stated it would not, the
construction would be on the existing lot.
Mr. Ben Nichols asked who owned the land outright and Mr. Louanis
stated he believed it is a tax possession lot.
� Mr. Racca stated he would like to purchase only a portion of the
land if possible, and that he has decided to build a 12 foot addition
instead of the 15 foot addition originally stated.
It was moved, seconded and voted 5:0 that the Board of Public
Works express to the Selectmen the availability of this lot of land, with
the desire of a 30 foot easement, and that any trees on the easement be
taken down if the Town needs to and the installation of permanent fencing
and paving shall not be allowed on the easement.
Mr. Racca had no objections to this.
Mrs. Wood suggested to Mr. Racca that if the Selectmen do not
sell the land to him, perhaps he should go in front of Town Meeting.
