+ Board of Assessors Meeting Page <br /> New Ma2s for Assessing Department <br /> Capon question from Chairman Greig, David Bailey <br /> informed that Assessing needs new maps . He will send out <br /> letter net week to all the departments that use maps , He feels <br /> this is the year Assessing will officially request new maps, <br /> although he has noted they have been sorely needed for several <br /> years . Mr. Greig questioned if this is an item for the overlay. <br /> Mr. Bailey explained that the request will have to be submitted <br /> and get prioritized with everything else. Upon question from <br /> Marcia King, fir. Bazley stated that the cost could be several <br /> hundred thousand dollar's because it requires aerial photographs <br /> a 0 * it is a big project! ! The present maps have been <br /> dilgi.ti ed, but are not good to begin with. Lengthy discussion <br /> followed. <br /> David Bailey explained that the research for the <br /> present maps were probably done in 1974 ; a flyover was done in <br /> the winter with snow on the ground; the physical information was <br /> not good to begin with, The legal information was probably the <br /> best they had; since that time, a tremendous amount of <br /> subdivisions and such have been planned and built; a lot of the <br /> information was taken from old deeds , He also explained that the <br /> Cape Cod Commission prepared maps in infra-red primarily as a <br /> first phase of a wetland 'delineation; It was to prepare a <br /> photogramatic survey along with it but never completed this phase <br /> because more funds were requested but never- received. Mr. Bailey <br /> stated that he will continue to work with the Corftmission so that <br /> duplication is avoided. <br /> fir# Balley informed that he first must figure out how <br /> much money The Town is now spending on such items as topos for <br /> roadwork and the like; also for developers buying topos compared <br /> to what developers prepared themselves in past years . He does <br /> not know if the new digital photography is any cheaper; he <br /> suspects the labor is a lot easier when digital cameras are used. <br /> Mr. Bailey informed that the Town of Brewster has just completed <br /> a similar project and will send hire Its data . He does not <br /> visualize completion this gear; the project requires much <br /> research, Lengthy discussion followed. <br /> Chairman Greig asked if the Board of Selectmen could be <br /> of assistance in this matter. David Bailey informed that he must <br /> first do some research in order to present a full package to the <br /> Board of Selectmen find out hog much the Town is noir <br /> spending meet with Tot Fudala to see if Planning can <br /> maintain the reaps when they are finished. He feels they should <br /> be maintained in-house; currently they are sent to a Dapper who <br /> redraws them; it would be nice to have the maps updated on the <br /> spot by the Planning Department ' s software system. <br />
