Selectmen approve larger kiosk at Island Pond, exempt it from size ordinance for navigation
Summary
The Selectmen approved a double-sided, larger kiosk at the Island Pond boat launch funded by the Monadnock Conservancy and designated it a required navigational sign, authorizing an exemption to exceed standard size limits up to 10 feet.
The Selectmen approved installation of a new, larger double-sided kiosk at the Island Pond boat launch on June 22. The Monadnock Conservancy, which now owns the islands, will fund and install the structure to display maps, island rules (no campfires, no overnight camping), and space for association notices.
Board members clarified that the kiosk is intended to inform boaters about island usage and trail connections, and one suggestion was to include information about the Catawba and North Branch River canoe and kayak trail. The board designated the kiosk as a 'required sign' for navigational purposes, allowing it to exceed standard size ordinances up to a maximum of ten feet.
The installation was approved by motion; the Conservancy will coordinate final placement at the Island Pond boat ramp.
