September 28, 2006 Minutes 4 David Williams asked if they received three separate tax bills. Answer was yes. Questions /Comments from the audience: Norman Newlands of 49 Grandview Avenue said the "shed" mentioned that was on the lot was not a shed but a garage. He has a copy of the plot plan from 1964. His mother had originally owned the property. Susan Newlands of 49 Grandview Avenue that the current owners moved the driveway took the shed down and moved the swing set. Norman Peterson of 30 Estabrook Road presented to the Board a photograph of the house with a swing -set and driveway on the lot that he had received from the accessor's office. No one spoke in favor of the petition. Lena Young of 28 Estabrook Road and Mike Schroeder of 2 Welch Road spoke in opposition. Hearing was closed at 8:47 pm. Discussion: The Board felt that the petitioner had clearly purchased the property as one lot only finding out at the closing that they could appeal to try to separate it. Three separate tax bills have been sent out for the three parcels not 2 parcels. Decision: On a motion by Nyles Barnett and seconded by David Williams, the board voted 0 -5 to over -rule the Building Commissioners rulings. The motion for appeal failed and the Board upheld the Building Commissioner's ruling.
