1- Unique characteristics of the land.
2- No prior action from the applicant.
3- No alter to surrounding area.
4- More than a mere inconvenience.
Richard Desrosiers: 12ft. wide garage, small addition is already 8ft wide. It was this was before I bought
it. Been here for 19-20 years. I was hoping to make a double side, but it is too close to the Towns land on
one side and too close to the existing house on the other. Hits car mirrors on the sides due to the width
and the doors swing open and damages the cars. Concrete foundation.
Chairman: What is the square footage?

1. Proposed and Discussion on Water Rates
Prior to Mr. David Bebyn’s input, Chairman Ken Booth mentioned that we
currently purchase 100% of our water from PWB and the LWC had not raised
water rates in several years.
Mr. David Bebyn President of B&E Consulting, LLC spoke on water rate
projections indicated on the spreadsheet titled LWC Public Hearing – May 7,
2025, Rate Schedule Information. Mr. David Bebyn feels 2026 is currently on
track. He discussed how it is in our best interest to maintain a steady flow of
revenue to avoid spikes and dips. We want to keep a buffer in our capital to
absorb increases. Mr. David Bebyn feels we should leave 2027 alone and
address any potential increases for 2028.
As for how the rates are structured, prior studies hadn’t anticipated multi- units,
i.e. taken total water bill and dividing by the number of units. Ideally, you want
to see multi units paying similar amounts as single family homes.
In summation, Mr. David Bebyn recommends modifications to FY 2028.
