Select Board approves boundary‑line agreement to clear title on Brown’s Court

Town staff told the Select Board that title to portions of Brown’s Court is unclear and recommended a boundary‑line agreement with adjacent owners to finalize property lines and produce a recorded plat. Josh Arnison explained the three‑step approach to clean title and said the immediate step before the board was an agreement with the McCarthy property to the west and north.

Select Board member David moved to approve the boundary‑line agreement between the town and the Gan R. McCarthy Revocable Trust and to name Town Manager Josh Arnison as the duly authorized agent to sign the agreement; Caitlyn seconded. The board then voted in favor of the motion.

Why it matters: Clarifying title will allow the town to complete planned recreation improvements and move ahead with a separately proposed parking plan at Brown’s Court. Staff said this agreement is the first of three steps (the others involve adjacent property owners) and that after completing all three agreements the town will record a final plat.

Board action and outcome: The motion to approve the boundary‑line agreement and to authorize the town manager to sign carried; board members voting in favor were recorded on the transcript. Staff said Linda McCarthy has indicated she is willing to sign the agreement and that a subsequent boundary‑line adjustment and additional agreements with neighboring owners will follow.

Next steps: Staff will finalize the correction removing a deceased spouse’s name from the draft instrument, confirm McCarthy signing, and return with subsequent boundary adjustments and the final plat documentation for recording.
