The Manchester Board Mayor & Aldermen approved a revocable license agreement to allow parking spaces and ADA access ramps that encroach into the city right of way at 1555 Elm Street and tabled a separate request for 175 Lincoln Street during a meeting.
The communication for 1555 Elm Street was presented by Amy Sanders on behalf of client Brady Sullivan. Sanders asked the board to approve a revocable license to formalize use of the parking spaces and ADA access ramps that lie partially in the city's right of way. A representative of the solicitor's office told the board the proposal used the city’s standard form, saying, "It's our basic form, Alderman." Alderman Long moved to approve the revocable license; Alderman Vincent seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; members responded "Aye," and the chairman declared the motion passed.
A separate communication from Keach Nordstrom Associates on behalf of the owner of 175 Lincoln Street asked for a similar revocable license because part of a parking area lies within the right of way. Alderman Long moved to table that request; Alderman Goonan seconded. The board voted by voice; the chairman recorded the motion as passed and the item was tabled.
During discussion the chairman noted the action would be "sent up tonight," adding, "Didn't we have a rule that wasn't gonna happen anymore? And we just went right through that rule." The record indicates the solicitor's office reviewed the 1555 Elm agreement and confirmed it used the city's standard revocable license form.
The meeting concluded after the two items; a motion to adjourn by Alderman Long, seconded by Alderman Vincent, passed by voice vote.
