Select Board to investigate remediation, signage for town‑owned Williams Road parcel after tax deed
Summary
The board discussed a 1.4-acre town-owned property on Williams Road acquired by tax deed; an abutter reported evening loitering, noise and campfires and the board asked staff to investigate remediation history and possible signage to discourage nighttime use.
The Select Board reviewed a tax deeded property on Williams Road (map 3 lot 60A) and agreed to follow up after neighbors raised safety and nuisance concerns.
Rob Kuhn, an abutting neighbor, said that while the area has historically been used for daytime recreation, “the issues are the people who congregate in the evenings (noise and campfires).” He told the board that excavation work after the July 2019 flood created an area residents now use as an informal parking area and overnight gathering spot.
Board members agreed to investigate the background on remediation of the area, determine what signage would be needed to discourage loitering and nighttime activities, and finalize parameters before notifying the town. The minutes record the board’s two specific action items: investigate remediation history and determine signage options for the Williams Road property.
No enforcement action, ordinance change or formal abatement was recorded in the minutes; the board’s steps are investigative and preparatory pending further reporting back to the Select Board.
