Took measurements for creating a camera perch in the 3 foot diameter hemlock that is down slope from the house site. Met with Andrew Peterson, Leicester Zoning Administrator, to review town permitting requirements. He stated that the property is in Lake Zone 1, which means that the side yard property line setback would be 25 feet vice 40 feet. Donna Pidgeon (former Town Clerk) and Andrew agreed that the address for the property should be 1750 Lake Dunmore Road, and Andrew filled out the E-911 Commission form to that effect. Andrew also said that there were no town ordinances other than for zoning, so no burn permit was needed. Laid out the intended car turnaround location, just to the east of the north / south stone wall. Had coffee with Sid, who gave permission for the logging truck to use his driveway to load out the logs. Sid said that the private driveway signs come from the Kubota dealer in Pittsford. Moved all of the stakes for the house location 10 feet north and 10 feet west. Informed Brad Ramsay of that change. Met with Arlan Pidgeon, Leicester Road Commissioner (and Donna's husband), who agreed that no culvert would be needed where the driveway joins Route 53 and that the driveway junction would provide the required sight distances along the road. Arlan signed the Zoning Permit application to that effect. A cold rainy day... but better than being in Virginia!
