OLD BUSINESS
B. A. Sansone permit application for dock - 347 Route 148
A permit application has been submitted for construction of a dock on Kroupa's Pond. Mr. Sansone submitted a site plan with the application and it was noted that, according to the site plan dated July 27, 1994, the Sansones do not own any portion of the pond adjacent to their property. James Fulmer, a neighbor across the pond from the Sansone property, spoke to the commission regarding his opinion of the proposed dock. Mr. Fulmer questioned why he did not receive notification of the project that his neighbors had received in the mail. Mr. Fulmer stated that he thought the dock construction would raise the value of the Sansone property, but lessen his property value because it would decrease the wooded area on that side of the pond. Commission members agreed that no vote can be taken on the permit application until the issue of ownership can be decided.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Boy Scout project at Deer Lake - revised plan
Mark Clifton submitted a revised plan that shows a slight relocation of one of the proposed buildings at the Deer Lake site.

Doyle has looked at the area and agrees with the relocation. T. Doyle moved, seconded by C. Lippert, to approve the amendment to the original permit as shown on the "Site Layout Dining Hall" plan dated 8/12/09 with one amendment on 10/12/09. The motion carried unanimously.
