Board of Appeals Minutes - July 26, 1995 Jim McGonigle, an abutter, said that he was concerned about other land on John Ewer Road and discussed one parcel of 17 acres which might be developed. He informed the Board that John Ewer Road was used to haul ice from Peter's Pond. He said that the entrance to the Road washes out regularly. Mr. Govoni said the owner of the 17 acres would have to have subdivision approval. Mr. Kirrane said they might get 7 or 8 lots from the Planning Board. He said the two Bochanowski lots are valid lots due to the Agreement for Judgment and he reviewed the ownership as separate. He stated that the litigation ended in 1991 and that the owner had five years of protection since then. Mr. Nelson noted that the only issue before the Board was related to fire protection under the by-law.
