Sugar Hill selectmen hear updates on Crane Hill Bridge easement, FEMA payment and U199 project; act on permits
Summary
Selectmen were told an easement issue is delaying bids for Crane Hill Bridge, Chief Clark reported no response yet from FEMA on a final payment for Indian Brook/Streeter Pond Road work, and the board approved two permits pending Building Inspector notes while denying a zoning permit from Blue Sky Towers IV LLC.
Town Engineer RED MCCARTHY told the board there was a slowdown on the Crane Hill Bridge work because of an easement issue; as a result, bids for the project will be delayed and Committee member Chris Ellms said he will contact the property owner for clarification.
Chief Clark reported the town has not received a response from FEMA on the final payment for the Indian Brook/Streeter Pond Road work; no timeline or next steps from FEMA were recorded during the meeting. Committee member Margo Connors and Larry Sawyer said they toured the U199 project and described extensive planning; board discussion noted that ownership of temporary roads depends on owner requests and that disturbed areas in the Town Forest will be recovered and replanted but wetlands will not be seeded to avoid introducing invasive species.
On land-use and permits, the board approved two permits pending the Building Inspector's notes (DeCastro renovations at 191 Hadley Road and Chaisson demolition at 560 Route 117) and denied a zoning permit submitted by Blue Sky Towers IV LLC because the proposal requires a variance and site-plan review. The transcript records no detailed schedule for the Crane Hill Bridge or for FEMA payment reconciliation.
