could proceed from there.

Pond. There is no permit on file.for this structure. Trustee

violations. He thought, if it were possible, to have the persons
property assessed, at his expense and find out what the fair market
value i~nd the increase of square footage is part of the fine.
There would have to be a charge for the illegal bulkhead also.
The trustees would have to check with the_Town Attorney, in reference
to this matter.
The Trustees would like to request permission from the Town Board
to set up a meeting with the Town Planner, in reference to the
Bulkhead replacements.
The following letter was received from Mr. Paul M. Berq~
Dear Sirs:
I~ sp~aiing ~ith neighbors and. others .who live on creeks in
this town I find there are numerous complaints abouZ., commercial
fisherman taking shellfish from their waterfront. Of course this
is perfectly legal at present. However, many of us would like
to see a law passed that would like to see it necessary for those
after shellfish to obtain permission from the property owner before
their license would give them permission to.take the fish. Much in
the same way that a deer hunter must obtain permission from a deer
hunter must obtain permission from a landowner, to hunt on his
property. This law could be written so that it would only apply
to shoreline within 100. yards of a dwelling. Please consider and
thank you.
Paul M. Berg
Trustee Smith advised that a letter will be sent, to~Mr. Berg
advising him that anyone- ~n the Town is permitted to take shellfish
with a shellfish Permit in-Town Waters, from the' high ~water mark out-~(~
into the water. This is not private property.
