PROPERTY MANAGEMENT: 1. Big G Farm - Livestock Land Use Request: Ms. Bell presented a request from John Drahzal of Big G Farm to use a half to one acre to house his 200 chickens, 40 sheep and 20 ducks as he is being evicted from his current situation due to an impending sale of the property.

Carter/ 27 Quaise Road — Garage Addition Request: Mr. Savetsky revisited a request from abutter Carl Jelleme to add a 3/4 floor studio space with bathroom to the garage which sits on Land Bank property. In exchange, Mr. Jelleme proposed to release his reversionary rights in the Land Bank's deed to the Pilgrim Road property and would pay for three beach nourishments at the Carter property, as well as assist with creating a trail and better access to the Pilgrim Road property.
