Commissioner raises concern about long-running patchwork on Cover Street and potential legal dispute
Summary
A commissioner reported that a patchwork repair on Cover Street has exceeded its useful life and that an agreement recorded with MDC and a business may require a more extensive repair by September; neighbors reportedly retained counsel alleging road ownership/charter issues and staff said it will follow up with the town engineer.
During commissioners' remarks, one commissioner said the Cover Street repair work has deteriorated and that the patchwork may need to be redone. The commissioner reported hearing that an agreement tied to the repairs could require the responsible party to redo the patch by September and noted that some neighbors have engaged an attorney alleging potential violations related to the town road status.
Town staff said they had heard of an agreement and that the town engineer is the point person; staff committed to gather more information and pass updates through the chair. Commissioners emphasized the need to monitor the issue, given the road's condition and possible legal questions.
