An attorney representing William Brownell came before the Board for a second time with a request from Brownell to divide his Walloomsac farmland into three lots and gift it to his children. One lot would include the former Columbia Box factory. Lot one is 27¾ acres, lot two is 103 acres and lot three is 45½ acres. The Board declared the property a family subdivision.
At last month’s meeting it was mentioned that the Brownells will be approaching the Zoning Board at some point requesting a variance to turn the mill into a recycling center.
