Salisbury selectmen leave road-width field unspecified during Plains Road Class VI building application hearing
Summary
At a May 20 public hearing, the selectmen heard from a representative for property owners seeking to build on Plains Road (Class VI). The board decided not to designate a formal road width; the road agent said the road is frequently traveled and a speaker said it is "at least twelve feet wide."
The Salisbury Board of Selectmen on May 20 held a public hearing on an application and notice of limits of municipal responsibility to build on Plains Road, a Class VI road (Tax Map 220 Lot 3).
Tim Wunderlich, speaking on behalf of property owners George Taylor and Brian and Heather Allen, told the board the parcel previously had a cabin and said the road "was at least twelve feet wide" and accommodated logging trucks. Road Agent MacDuffie said he approved the proposal and noted the road is frequently traveled. Town Administrator April Rollins asked whether the board wanted to set a designated road width; the board decided to leave the width field nonapplicable rather than adopt a width measurement.
The decision left open how the town will treat the road in any future maintenance or liability determinations but does not, in the minutes, record a separate formal vote approving construction; the public hearing record shows no additional public comments and Chair Jim Hoyt closed the hearing at 7:07 p.m.
What happens next: the application will remain part of the town record; any follow-up steps, permits or conditions beyond the width designation were not specified in the minutes.
