Eric stated that we have a request for abatement from John Devereaux (parcel #520-010) for 94 & 112 River Road West. John is unable to attend tonight in person or via Zoom. The abatement request is for the categories “inability to pay taxes, charges, interest, and/or collection fees” and “taxes or charges upon real or personal property lost or destroyed during the tax year.” John has requested that the letter and photos that he submitted be read for the record on his behalf. Eric proceeded to read the letter for the record and photos submitted were viewed as evidence. Other evidence submitted for the record was the tax bill, and the application that John submitted to FEMA for disaster assistance. With no further evidence, the meeting was paused at 5:50 p.m. to reconvene at 6:00 p.m. for the second abatement request.

They are unable to attend the meeting tonight. The reason for the request is described as residential mobile home in process of being dismantled started November 17, 2024. Cynthia asked if they were only asking for abatement for the mobile home. Rosemary said that is correct. Board of Abatement Meeting Minutes p. 2 September 17, 2025 Eben indicated that the abatement request is for “taxes in which there is manifest error” and also “taxes in which there is a mistake of the listers.” Rosemary asked Justin if the value of the mobile home was $2,500.
