Summary

Council discussed neighbor requests for access behind the former Paradise Beach building and indicated the town will offer an easement for a private staircase rather than transfer property.

The council revisited a prior request to allow a staircase/access behind the former Paradise Beach building and reiterated that the town prefers granting an easement rather than transferring the parcel. The chair said the town can offer an easement to allow property owners to place stairs while the town retains ownership to protect existing drainage and infrastructure.

A committee member noted the easement approach had been discussed previously and that the town had offered to permit the staircase; council asked staff to proceed with easement paperwork and to coordinate work that protects the drain in that area.
