Andover commission directs settlement framework after gravel‑pit executive session
Summary
Following an executive session, the commission moved that the gravel‑pit site is stabilized and directed that, upon payment of a bond and satisfactory settlement of town financial requirements, a pending lawsuit would be withdrawn; the motion passed unanimously.
After adjourning into executive session on a long‑running gravel‑pit matter, the Andover Planning & Zoning Commission reconvened and the chair reported the session’s outcome.
The chair moved that the site is considered stabilized and that, pending the payment of a bond and "satisfactory settlement of the town financial requirements as agreed to by the parties," the town’s lawsuit will be withdrawn. The motion was seconded and carried on a unanimous roll call (5‑0).
Commissioners and the town attorney participated in the executive session. The motion directs staff and legal counsel to proceed with the financial settlement steps and bond posting as negotiated and authorized in the session; commissioners recorded no public details of the settlement terms beyond the bond and satisfaction of the town’s financial requirements.
The vote resolves an outstanding enforcement/litigation matter in which the commission had been engaged; staff will report back on the administrative steps required to implement the settlement and bond conditions.
