Selectmen confirm Frank Goodwin and Dudley roads are named private roads for 9-1-1 and town records
Summary
During other business the board reviewed records and confirmed that Frank Goodwin Road and Dudley Road are listed as named private roads in town records and reiterated the town’s routine five-year reaffirmation of private-road status for 9-1-1 and recordkeeping purposes.
Wolfeboro — The Board of Selectmen used an other-business item on Feb. 19 to clarify the status of several road names and to confirm that Frank Goodwin Road and Dudley Road are recorded in town files as named private roads for emergency-addressing purposes.
What the board reviewed: A selectman reviewed historical documents indicating that the town’s road-name committee and board reaffirmed Frank Goodwin Road and Dudley Road as private roads in town records in multiple intervals (including referenced reaffirmations in 2012 and again in the five-year maintenance cycles). The board referenced Carroll County Registry of Deeds records for easements connecting some parcels and noted that Lakes Region Conservation Trust holds some easements that include maintenance-language for specific access points.
Why it matters: The clarification was intended to resolve public confusion about whether the roads were private roads or easements and to confirm what the town’s records show for 9-1-1 addressing and maintenance expectations.
Ending: The board noted the distinction between a private named road and an easement that connects parcels and confirmed it will rely on the town’s recorded list for dispatch, addressing and any future public inquiries.
