In the absence of 0. E. Johnson, Clerk, Trustee Bagley recorded the minutes
of the meeting.
On motion of Turnham seconded by Neddermeyer, the reading of the minutes
of the last meeting was dispen$ed with.
After aome discussion, it was suggested that Mayor Ross aak Attorney John
Pi17s bury to contact the General Motora Corporation agenay relative to
deliver� of' the truck which had been purehased from them under aontraot
for delivery in approximately thirty days. It was thought that some
pressure should be brought to bear on that doncern, inasmuch aa coneiderably
more than thirty days time had elapsed since the award o� the contraat.
Mr. George W3ndus appeared before the Counail asking that p� rmission be
�iven him to build a dwelling on a Casco Point lot having 87 feet of
frontage. Hewas advised to acquire some additional land ad�aaent to his
own in order to provide a minimum width consistent with the ordinanee re-
quirements. He a�reed to try to do so.
Mr. Milton Ray110 of Stubbs Say presented to the Council a request that
he be permitted to build a dwelling near an exiating cottage on his
property and at the same time leave the cottage for a temporary residenae
while building and then ultimately for use as a service building only.
He intends and hopea to move the cottage later on. Permission granted.
Mr. Aasting� appeared before the Council to express an lnterest in buying
a lot near the church property �t Navarre to be areated by proposed aub-
division and in a manner described on a sketch of certain land. He �tas
�dvised that inasmuch as the sketch made no provision in 3ta road for a
turn-around, the sub-division would, in all probability, not be approved
by the plannin�; commission or by the Council. He was advised to recoirnnend�
to the owner trlat auch provision be made and cautioned about purchasing
such a lot until this had been accomplished.
Mr. Leonard Olson of Carmen Cove then appeared on recommendatioi� of
As�easor Hanson to explain that he had inadvertently started to build on !
his lot at a diatance only 52 feet from the property line of neighbot� �
J. G. Mile�. The construetion process was so far advanced as to warrant j .
spec3al consideration of hig problem. J. G. M31es as�ured the Council f��
that as a neir�;hbor he would have no ob�eetion to this violation of' the �; �;
building ordinance and agreed to write a letter to the Council asking �;
that Mr. Olson be not required to move hia building farther a�ay from
the property line. After some discussion, it was moved by Neddermeyer, '"

Mr. Olson for the continuance of hia building, sub�eat to the before-
mentioned letter from Mr. Miles being filed 3n satisfactory language
with the Village clerk.
Mr. Geor�e Anderson asked �he Council to indicata approval of hie plan
to build a residence on a part of his property on Fageness Po3nt. This
property already con�ains a building, but the location is $uch that it

buildin� ordinance. It was the concensus that his proposal be approved
in substance, and he was �o adviaed.
Mrs . Robert Mitchell of Orono preaented �ketches and corrnnented at some
length on the background of title to lakeshore property in Cryatal Bay
at the end of Highway 51, which property was aonsidered to be auitable
for a bathing beach. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously carried
that Attorney John Pillsbury request the Attorney General�s office for
an opinion as to the ownership of' the lakeahore area in question, with
thQ thou�ht that such decision mi�;ht provide a convenient means whereby
a bathin� and recreational area mi�ht be provided f�r the benefit o�'
local residents.
