Next order of business –Natural Gas Wells – the board discussed if we had any in our township the members didn’t know so Wendy will call Jim Bensley and find out if we have any in the area. The board will discuss the findings at the next board meeting.

Next order of business- Gary Daum discussed the County findings of The Town of Barre- zoning referral of the county approved on outdoor heating devices. Gary talked about article 616-5. Section D-chimney heights for new outdoor devices, if located within 100 feet to 300 feet of any residence not served by the furnace, it is recommended that the stack be at least 2 feet higher than the peak of the residence.

We are about one month away from a meeting.

Richard Kurz anything else to discuss?

Paul Lauricella stated that he had a problem with the board making so many regulations. He felt that what ever anyone wanted to do the board would stomp it out.
