July 10, 1975 (continued) -2 abutters and abutters of abutters must be notified, the regular fee will be charged plus 20 x 75 cents or $15 for the notifications over 20." (D.E.N. quote) Action on above: Fees for mailing to abutters, etc. approved by Board. The statement above will be submitted to Town Counsel. Petitioner D. M. Gill, 66 Spring St. (see June 19, 1975) made the following request by letter. A copy of the letter below. July 8, 1975 Dear Mr. Nickerson, I had supposed, perhaps too innocently, that there would be no problem over my appeal to maintain my garage too close to the lot line, for the town has clearly 'allowed' the garage to remain in place for nearly 30 years. The vote to deny seems to have placed me in a worse position than if I had not appealed, for it may make it more difficult to convince a potential buyer that the garage is not at risk: the precise reverse of my intentions. I understand from our telephone conversation, and from the report in the Minute- man of the board's deliberations, that it was in no way your intention to make diffi- culties for me. This, however, does not come over in the notice of your decision. I wonder, therefore, if you would be prepared to give me some document, possibly a letter, which explained your meaning more fully? I would be particularly grateful if you could find words forceful enough to convince a purchaser, his lawyer and his bank, that there is no substantial risk of my garage being ordered removed and that the town is content to have it remain standing indefinitely. I thank you, /s/ D. Michael Gill Formal action re. letter to D.M. Gill was put off until the next scheduled hearing night, July 24, 1975, when hopefully regular members would be in attendance. The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. 1 Respectfully submitted, Evelyn F. Cole, Secretary/Clerk
