The driveway would come across Town land due to when the Town reconfigured the road on Bean Hill the Town ended up with a small portion of land. Mr. Larson had told him that he would have to have an easement across the land. As far as he is concerned it is a nomads land. After consideration he recommended to sell and/or deed the land over. After further discussion it is was decided to offer part of the triangled property to Mr. Allen for $100.00 and the transaction costs and the other part to Mr. Miller for $100.00 and the transaction costs. Mr. Allen and Mr. Miller would split the survey costs. Due to the relocation of the road each will apply for a boundary line change thru the Code Enforcement Office.
