Abutter raises boundary dispute after Page Pond 3 survey; commission to pursue next steps
Summary
At its May 7 meeting the Meredith Conservation Commission reviewed a preliminary Page Pond 3 survey after abutter Mike Freeman said the new boundary cuts into his driveway and reduces his acreage; the commission noted the survey is complete and identified follow-up steps including DOT permission for parking and further boundary reconciliation.
At its May 7, 2026 meeting the Meredith Conservation Commission reviewed a preliminary survey of the Page Pond 3 parcel after abutter Mike Freeman reported the new boundary line ends in the middle of his driveway and reduces his recorded acreage. Freeman said his tax card lists 2.35 acres but the preliminary survey shows roughly 1.55 acres, and he proposed moving the boundary to the existing stone wall to restore the lost land.
Commissioners noted the discrepancy and discussed next steps for reconciling the boundary. Scott Powell said he would forward a written cost estimate from surveyor Rick Van de Pol to Town Planner Stephanie Maltais; commissioners flagged further site investigation as necessary before any boundary revision.
The minutes record that the Page 3 property survey is complete and that the next administrative step is to seek New Hampshire Department of Transportation permission to establish five parking spaces for the property. No formal vote to alter property lines was recorded at the meeting; Freeman's proposed change remains under review.
