The council took no action on Mr. Morehouse’s request. Ms. Kramer’s request approved
Joyce Kramer came before the council to request approval for a culvert to run from her property at the west end of Gay Street onto adjoining land to drain stormwater, which is overloading her septic system. The paperwork for the permit, she reminded the council, was filed two years ago and had gotten lost. Now, the state Health Department had informed her that she had less than a week to get the problem fixed.
The council approved her request for a culvert to run under Gay Street to carry off stormwater, on condition that she obtain an easement from Newbill Miller, onto whose land the water would drain, and that she pay the costs of restoring the road surface.
Ms. Kramer also requested an exemption from the town’s requirement for a parking lot in front of her Gay Street Inn. “All the neighbors agree,” she said, “they would rather see my lawn than a gravel parking lot.” Mr. Morehouse advised her that she would need to submit a written request for an exemption, supported by documentation and agreements from her neighbors. “If they have no objection, I see no problem,” the mayor said.
