Hillsborough conservation commission reviews forester report for 100 Sleeper Road, advances mapping of trails and conservation land
Summary
Chair Richard Head reviewed a Town Forester report and will contact a property owner about initiating a DES complaint; the commission also advanced a town trail/conservation property list tied to mapping and noted a preliminary map for Shedd Brook Conservation Area.
The Hillsborough Conservation Commission reviewed a Town Forester report for 100 Sleeper Road, discussed steps to pursue a DES complaint if needed, and advanced mapping plans for town trails and conservation properties.
Why it matters: The forester's report and potential DES complaint could affect the management of forested land at 100 Sleeper Road, while an updated trail/property map will guide future conservation and recreational planning.
Chair Richard Head reviewed the report from Town Forester Ron Klemarczyk and summarized feedback from Town Administrator Laura Buono. Head said he will contact the 100 Sleeper Road property owner and offer assistance if the owner wishes to initiate a complaint with the Department of Environmental Services.
Separately, Jim Riddle reviewed the latest trail and conservation property list and described plans to tie the list to a map. Recording Secretary John P. Segedy will inquire about who produces and maintains the town tax maps to help with that effort. Riddle also reported that Sasha Kramer had sent a preliminary map for the Shedd Brook Conservation Area on Beard Brook Road and plans to attend the next meeting to present it.
Linda White raised the possibility that a property might become available for conservation and asked the Commission to consider next steps.
Next steps: Chair Head will contact the 100 Sleeper Road owner as discussed; staff will follow up on tax-map contacts and Riddle and Kramer will continue work to bring a Shedd Brook map to a future meeting.
