Bradley Lake Road.

We met Randy Sirard, the abutter to the town-owned parcel (map 6, lot 427-324). In pouring rain, we walked on the Sirard and town-owned properties. Randy owns property on either side of the town property. 

We discussed the confusion over lot lines along this stretch of road and Randy’s efforts to resolve the issue. According to Randy’s research, most of the neighbors are using the wrong boundaries for their properties.  

Randy had previously attempted to come up with a solution that would resolve his lot lines so that they match the land use. Randy indicated that the town hadn’t followed up each time he tried to get them to address the matter. He thanked the ACC for visiting.

Bradley Point Lane (private road) 

We met with Tom and Rae Voss on their porch. They are abutters to the town-owned property Map 13, lot 286-083. They invited the other abutter (Anne Marie Mahoney) to join us.  

Together, we discussed the confusion about lot lines for properties in this vicinity, and the recent surveys that both abutters had done following the recent attempt by the Town to sell town-owned properties without following RSA 41:14-a. Both neighbors were concerned that the flags indicating the land for sale appeared to extend past the property lines, and the listing suggested a larger lot size.  

Anne Marie said that the realtor listed photos of her property online and she had to deal with prospective buyers coming onto her property and parking in her driveway (a right-of-way through her neighbor’s land). After lengthy discussion, we accompanied Anne Marie for a walk through the town property at 11:30 AM in the steady rain.  

The town parcel is a narrow, undeveloped stretch of land that appears to be a rectangular lot, not Z-shaped as on the Avitar map, and has no on-street parking.

Site visit of the town-owned property on Route 11:

known as the McDonough Parcel, located east of Dyer’s Crossing Road.

Present: Jerry Hersey, Nancy Robart, Jesse Schust, Lee Wells

We walked onto the parcel from the western tip where it meets Route 11. We followed the recent surveyors tape and tree blazes until we reached Sucker Brook. The parcel is wooded and has many wetland sections. It would be easy to create a woodland trail that provides walking access to the parcel.  

The group then followed as close to the brook as possible while skirting the very wet ground of a large section of wetland. We eventually reached the edge of the parcel near the utility line cut and continued on dry ground until we could find access to the Rail Trail. 

We returned by way of the Rail Trail, noting the survey flags from a distance, mainly where they came close to the brook. We emerged at the junction of Hoyt Road and the Rail Trail. 

Having quorum, we briefly discussed the matter of having the Chairs sign the letter of support for the power connection project (Twin States Clean Energy Link), which the Select Board asked if we could co-sign. We unanimously voted to sign the document.
