Ogontz Hall Update:
Stan Borkowski met with the Selectmen to update them on the current status of Ogontz Hall's construction. Due to the magnitude of the project, he and Fire Chief Houston are requiring an outside party plan review to be conducted as soon as possible. A new well that will supply the entire camp will be dug and tested as soon as the road bans are off. Mrs. Kent is hopeful that the new septic system will also be completed before camp opens for the season. The Selectmen are requiring an updated building permit to reflect the structure as currently proposed. A driveway permit is also needed for an emergency lane entrance off Ogontz Road. Scott Baker will be notified that both permit applications must be submitted by Apr 18th and will be reviewed at next week's meeting. No expansion of the project will be allowed until all permits are approved. A letter was also prepared to update the Fire Marshal's office.
