Farmer seeks discontinuance of Chandler Road after culvert erosion; town to consult attorney
Summary
LE Johnston told the board that culvert erosion on Class VI Chandler Road is harming his farm and asked the Town to consider discontinuing the road; the board instructed Town Administrator Kate O'Connor to consult the Town Attorney and follow up with Johnston.
LE Johnston addressed the board to report deteriorating culverts and erosion on Chandler Road, a Class VI road, saying the conditions have had direct effects on his farm operations and asking the town to consider discontinuing that section of roadway.
After hearing Johnston’s description of the damage and his request for an “amicable solution,” Selectmen directed Town Administrator Kate O'Connor to contact the Town Attorney to determine the proper legal and procedural steps for discontinuance and to follow up with Johnston.
The board did not set a timeline for legal review or a decision on whether to pursue discontinuance; Johnston’s request was recorded as a concern for the Highway Department and the town’s road-maintenance program.
