Neighbors plan concrete block markers to define Belvedere Mountain Road right‑of‑way
Summary
Property owners told the Selectboard they will place heavy concrete blocks along the surveyed property line to define the Belvedere Mountain Road right‑of‑way after survey flagging and stakes were removed; board members asked for measurements and logistics for moving the 3,500‑lb blocks.
Visitors attending the meeting asked the Selectboard for guidance on placing concrete blocks to mark a surveyed property line and define the right‑of‑way on Belvedere Mountain Road after temporary survey flags were torn down. Board members discussed placement, haulage and the number of blocks needed, and urged the visitors to take measurements and bring the exact number of blocks to the next meeting so the board could consider procurement and staging.
A board member said the blocks are roughly 2 feet by 2 feet by 6 feet and cost about $70 each; another attendee noted each block weighs roughly 3,500 pounds and will require heavy equipment (10‑wheelers, boom truck or excavator) to place. Attendees also discussed beaver activity near the site and joked about whether beavers would incorporate blocks into a dam, but the substantive planning focus remained on logistics, measurement, and ensuring placement outside protected areas or utilities.
The board asked staff to help identify the marked pin and to confirm whether additional surveying is required before placing permanent markers. Visitors said they will attempt a rough GPS measurement and return with numbers at the next meeting.
