Select Board directs attorney to ask Club Motorsports (CMI Tamworth) for noise data and to attend meeting
Summary
After months without data or attendance from Club Motorsports, the Select Board approved a letter (with edits) asking CMI to respond to a prior data request and to meet with town officials; board changed a requested data window to a 10-day written response requirement.
Richard (Select Board member) led a discussion about recurring complaints last summer about noise at CMI Tamworth (Club Motorsports) and said the owner has not provided requested noise data or attended a meeting.
The board directed the town attorney to send a letter — the draft of which was prepared for the board and included in the meeting packet — asking CMI to provide requested operational data and to meet with town officials. Board members agreed to edit the letter to change one request: instead of asking for a year’s worth of data they asked the attorney to request a written response within 10 days to the prior data request and, if possible, that CMI attend a meeting in the host community.
“I would change that to ‘I’m requesting a written response within 10 days to the prior data request,’” one board member said, explaining the board did not want to be swamped by a large, yearlong dataset that the town might not be prepared to analyze. The motion to send the letter with those edits passed on roll call.
Board members said they preferred a cooperative conversation to start — to encourage CMI to begin keeping data going forward — but emphasized the town needs at least an initial response and attendance by the operator.
