The full story

The Selectboard reviewed an ongoing zoning enforcement matter after Zoning Administrator Harmony Cism sent a notice requiring a resident to remove a post located in the town right‑of‑way (ROW). The resident responded and the board noted the owner is serving overseas and will not return until November. Town counsel advised that cutting the post at ground level would constitute a sufficient remedy if agreed by the Zoning Administrator, Selectboard and Road Foreman and would not harm town equipment.
