CANTON – Selectmen voted Monday night to contact state officials and the town code enforcement officer about two cars in Bog Brook and two on town property next to Canton Tire on Route 140.

Officials discussed the situations involving tire business owner Donald Ulmer, who Selectman Donald Hutchins said is building additions without permits. He said CEO Stan Haynes needs to check the property.

The business is in the Androscoggin River flood plain.

The board reviewed a letter from the Department of Environmental Protection to Anasagunticook Lake dam owner Raymond Fortier, saying he placed a large amount of fill next to the lake without a permit. Selectmen said the letter only addressed one of 15 violations on the dam.

The board also discussed a $600 bill from Bruce Loring of Enfield for retrieving the Fire Department’s air boat that overturned on Anasagunticook Lake. Assistant Fire Chief Mark Blanchette was testing the boat when the accident occurred.

The board voted that the $600 be paid from Fire Department funds.

Hutchins said the department should plan in its next budget for training in the use of the air boat, which is for rescues.

Selectman Rick Ray said proper procedure is for a spotter to be on shore when the boat is used, and that was not done in this instance.

“It was very nearly a serious tragedy,” Hutchins said.

Blanchette was rescued from the 50-degree water by a lakeside property owner.

Burnham Martin from the National Park Service attended Monday’s meeting to discuss how the department could help with the proposed park and trails planned for the village flood plain.

The town has acquired nearly all the properties there and is relocating the village to prevent future destruction from the overflowing Androscoggin River.

Sue Gammon, chairwoman of the Trails Committee, said progress is being made on the project. State permits are needed for the bogs and areas around Whitney Brook, and plans need to be submitted to the Planning Board, she said.

Burnham said his department works with groups to support trail development.

“We help with work planning, help focus priorities, do trail flagging, GPS mapping, help with funding, help volunteers develop vision and trail management,” he explained.

He offered to draft an outline of a management plan.

Martin will return Dec. 11 to walk the proposed trails with the committee and selectmen.
