Selectboard directs attorney letter after Camp Road right‑of‑way footage shows encroachments
Summary
The Selectboard viewed video evidence of encroachments on Camp Road — a new fence, cement blocks and parked cars in the right of way — and asked the town attorney to send a letter requiring removal of the obstructions.
During the highway department update the Selectboard reviewed a video showing items placed in the Camp Road right of way, including a newly constructed fence, cement blocks and vehicles. Board members said the items should be removed from the town right of way and directed the town attorney to send a second letter to the resident responsible.
Melissa Whitcomb and Ricky Morin raised the concerns and the board agreed the materials and vehicles should be moved out of the right of way. The Selectboard will send a follow‑up attorney letter outlining required removals and any next steps.
Why it matters: Encroachments in the town right of way can obstruct maintenance, create liability and affect public access. The Selectboard's direction to involve the town attorney signals formal enforcement action may follow if the structures are not removed.
