HARTFORD — The Board of Selectmen told a Farrand Hill Road resident Thursday night that he must remove a gate he placed across the road.

 

Gaetano Guglielmo told the board over the 17 years he has lived there he’s been robbed numerous times and has had trees cut and removed. He said four-wheelers have torn up the road, which he has maintained.

 

The road goes from Bryant Road north to Route 108 in Canton.

Guglielmo was told he could bring the issue to a town meeting.

 

Board of Selectmen Chairman Lee Holman said if he got signatures from the other five residents on the road, the board could put it on a town meeting warrant.

 

The board gave former Transfer Station attendant Gale Williams the buildings from the closed station if he would clear the site before Labor Day. Since Williams hasn’t done anything yet, the board agreed to give him another month before giving the buildings to firefighters for training.

 

Code Enforcement Officer William Kennedy presented building permits for selectmen to review, including:

 

* Delores Bergman, Tucker Road, a 24- by 24-foot house.

 

* Brenda and Philbert Kimball, a camp on Ricker Hill Road.

 

* Jamaes Schwellenbach, Little Bear Lane, a garage and barn.

 

* Daniel Langlois, Bear Pond Road, a mud room.

 

* Kevin McPherson, Darrington Road, two bedrooms and a bath.

 

* Chad Gammon, Church Street, a year-round dwelling. 

 

Kennedy said there was concern over trailers being placed next to properties with big homes and those properties being devalued. The board said there was no law against trailers and it was a civil issue.  

 

Road Committee Chairman Harley Swanson brought a letter from Biff Atwater, president of the Lake Anasagunticook Association, which said officials should consider ways to mitigate sand and phosphate pollution from town roads because tests show the lake has higher levels of algae.
