Status of Brown Road Easement – Karen K will discuss with our surveyor whether or not the west end of the road (between the Donaldson and Burgess parcel) resides on Donaldson’s parcel or Burgess’.  Once we receive determination of that, the commissioners will decide at the next meeting whether or not to send prepared easements out for signature.  In addition, we are waiting to hear back from Marc Marquis about some questions on the Donaldson easement language.
