Selectmen continue marked-parking discussion; DOT encroachment and ADA spacing flagged
Summary
The board continued discussion of a request for marked parking near Main Street, noting ADA spacing and a likely need for a state encroachment permit; staff will obtain measurements and follow up with NVCOG and DOT.
The Board of Selectmen continued discussion of a marked-parking request raised under old business. The Chair reported having contacted Rich Donovan and that Kevin Ellis has been copied to provide engineering specifications; the board agreed to collect field measurements and bring a more concrete cost estimate back after consultation with NVCOG and DOT.
Committee members and staff highlighted statutory requirements for accessible spaces ("an accessible space needs to be 10 feet wide plus next to a 5 foot space for loading, unloading") and crosswalk setbacks (at least 20 feet unless daylighted or a curb bump out). The Chair warned that a state encroachment permit may be required for any work in the right-of-way and that design detail could increase costs beyond simple striping. The board directed staff to follow up and return with measured options and cost estimates.
