Somers selectmen approve sale of small right‑of‑way at Aspen Ridge, set May 21 public hearing
Summary
The board approved selling an unused 50‑by‑~97‑foot right‑of‑way adjacent to 24 Aspen Ridge to Joseph Marinaccio and Marissa Camarada for $1,000 plus town costs, and scheduled the required public hearing and town meeting for May 21, 2026.
The Somers Board of Selectmen approved a motion to sell an unused town right‑of‑way adjacent to 24 Aspen Ridge and set a public hearing and town meeting for May 21, 2026.
Town staff described the parcel as an unused 50‑foot‑wide strip about 97 feet long that appears to have been planned as a road into the parcel behind 24 and 30 Aspen Ridge but was never built. The planning commission previously issued a favorable referral at a November meeting, and the town engineer prepared a legal description and map.
Only the owners at 24 Aspen Ridge submitted a bid; they offered $1,000 for the parcel. Board members agreed the buyer should pay the town’s costs associated with the sale, including legal notices and engineering fees. The board approved the sale on a voice vote and directed staff to itemize the costs so buyers can be informed of the total charge.
The next procedural steps are a pair of legal notices, the public hearing on May 21 and a subsequent town meeting where final approval will be considered.
