month.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That being said, as I
did last month, let me give a summary of the many things in motion at this
time.</FONT></FONT></P>

</SPAN>The lot descriptions and plot plans of the five active YRHCorp lots have
been received from Lloyd Jones and have been formally written up by our legal
beagles at PretiFlaherty.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Following a review of those deeds, and some corrections and suggestions
by me, the final deeds should arrive at Town Hall today for signatures by the
Selectmen and myself where needed before being filed at the Cumberland County

you know, short 15 feet of street frontage needed for building without a

Sherry Oliver and I have prepared a presentation letter and maps with possible
ways this might be accomplished which will be presented at the January 24
Council and Trustees meeting of the Church.<SPAN

this may have benefits to the Church and work well if they are
interested.</FONT></P>

</SPAN>Genesis had given me permission (and funding) to get septic and site
plans done for all five lots.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Matt Brady and I spent a chilly day late in December doing the field work
and all five lots have adequate soils and setbacks for a minimum 3 bedroom
septic field.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have received
3 of the 5 plans back and the others will be done shortly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a plus as we had
originally planned on the YRHCorp having this work done and homeowners would pay
us back if the test was successful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
