Summary

The commission discussed a newly granted roughly 18-acre conservation easement near the hospital, verified survey pins for GIS recording, and flagged a separate conservation easement violation at the Marquette property where more than 'over a 100 tons of material' was reportedly deposited; staff and easement holder will meet onsite to plan restoration.

Staff reported the town received an easement covering approximately 18 acres near the hospital and presented a map and special-act language for commissioners to review. The conservation agent said staff and a surveyor verified required rebar on easement corners and that the town will record the parcel in its GIS so small survey pins can be located in the future.

Commissioners expressed concern that the town might someday see development pressure on adjacent parcels and discussed whether easement covenants transfer to future owners. The meeting also addressed a separate issue on the Marquette property: Selleck and staff said there had been a violation involving "over a 100 tons of material" deposited and a roadway started; the work was stopped and a Friday site visit will include the easement holder (DEP), chairs of related land-use boards and invited staff to assess restoration needs and next steps.
