Subdivision request

The Issue: Jason Courbron of Survey Works requested a recommendation to use street construction ordinance section A-4 with respect to phase one of his plans for a subdivision off Lower Street. This would allow no money to be put down with the town instead of acquiring a performance guarantee.

The scoop: The subdivision will be constructed in phases; the initial phase will consist of two lots with a common drive, and the drive must be constructed to street specifications, as it will be extended as a street in the later phases.

Up next: Courbron will go before the Planning Board on Wednesday, June 10, with the selectmen’s recommendations.

Fish Street

The issue: The board reviewed suggestions from Summit Environmental Consulting and Kurt Youland for repair to the embankment and road.

The scoop: Officials want to correct erosion around Fish Street.

Up next: The board decided Youland’s proposal of purchasing additional land from homeowners and relocating the travel way 15 feet away from the existing guardrail and road surface was feasible.
