Ted and Greg will look over invoice/plans for repair before work gets started.

Update on new gravel extraction ordinances – Civil Affairs Committee

  • The Mineral Extraction Committee is done. They held their last meeting two weeks ago and will present on the 23rd of October. A lawyer needs to review the violations for landowner wording in the ordinance. The 6 month moratorium is up for renewal this Tuesday, October 16th. One change is no new quarries in residential areas of 100 houses or more leading to a public road. Should consider a zoning change, as well, using Highland Lake as an example. Windham’s Comprehensive Plan is to keep it rural.
