3. Update on 40 Sean Circle
NI stated that the homeowner was not able to attend this evenings meeting. NI did do an outside inspection
today. The yard does not look much better than last time, but that could be because of all the inclement weather
we have been getting. The homeowner did state that she is planning on asking the Selectmen to waive the fee
for dumping large items. NI told the Board that the dog is still living at the home. There was discussion on the
help the homeowner is getting for her hoarding issues. The Board thought it might be a good idea to speak with
the person that is helping her so that some realistic goals could be made.
The Board continued this until next month's regularly scheduled meeting.

Informational items were noted.
