Selectmen send proposed private‑road ordinance to town meeting
Summary
After reviewing attorney redlines and association input, the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to send a private‑road ordinance (including notice and review provisions) to the next town meeting for approval.
The Board of Selectmen voted to forward a proposed private‑road ordinance to a town meeting for final consideration.
First Selectman Todd H. Gelson summarized previous outreach and attorney review and noted two substantive suggested edits from association counsel: (1) a written‑request review provision allowing property owners to ask selectmen to reconsider a determination that a private road is not suitable for limited maintenance, and (2) a 30‑day written notice to affected property owners before removing a private road from limited‑maintenance eligibility. After brief discussion the board approved the motion to send the ordinance to town meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
Board materials indicate the ordinance will be placed in the streets and sidewalks chapter and will require the town meeting vote to take effect.
