Select Board reviews Legal Trail No. 2 off Dugway Road; staff to refine permit path
Summary
Planning staff briefed the board on a legal trail/right-of-way that overlaps proposed driveway access on Dugway Road. The board asked staff to verify ownership, exposure and whether a revised access permit or third-party engineering review is required before construction proceeds.
Planning Director Keith Hillborn told the Select Board that Legal Trail No. 2 is an existing town right of way created as part of an approved subdivision; the proposed upgrade would allow driveway access to Lots 21 and 22 and raises questions about the access permit and stormwater work required in the right of way.
Hillborn described the procedural path: a right-of-way permit submitted to planning and highway staff, followed by town manager sign-off; he flagged that a revised access permit or a town-engineer review might be necessary because the subdivision revisions now indicate a culvert is required where previously it was not. Board members asked staff to check ownership, liability exposure and whether the town should require a third-party review to protect town interests before any driveway work proceeds.
