Planning staff told the Plymouth Planning Board that the town’s proposed easement across the upper downtown parking lot — a condition the planning board attached to a site plan approval — is now on the Select Board’s agenda and will begin the two‑step statutory process required for acceptance.
A staff speaker summarized the status: after legal review and revisions the easement deed and plan have been signed by the town attorney and the Select Board “has added that to their agenda for this coming Monday, and we’ll be holding hearing number 1 out of 2 on that item,” and the conservation commission provided a favorable recommendation under the statute. The speaker referenced the state acceptance process, stating that “in order to accept any type of transfer like that, there’s that process under RSA 41:14, that the Select Board needs to go through.”
Board members were invited to observe or testify at the Select Board hearing. No final town action on the easement was taken by the planning board during the meeting; the item was reported as a follow‑up and the planning board will remain engaged pending the select board’s public hearings and decision.
