Members present: Jay Jacobs, Kathy Scott, Andrea Hodson

Attendees: John Cucchi, Anne Cucchi, Ranae O’Neil, David O’Neil

The Cucchis submitted to the SB a compilation survey prepared by Cardinal Surveying and Land Planning of Keene. They requested that the board review the survey in light of their appeal of the Planning Board’s 2019 decision to approve the Voluntary Merger of Skatutakee Road parcels owned by Pamela Worden. The Cucchis maintain the subject lot is owned by the town, not Ms. Worden, and therefore should not be allowed to be merged. The case is pending in Superior Court. The Cucchis also expressed interest in working with the town to settle the matter outside of court. The SB will review the survey and noted the Cucchis’ gesture.
