Select Board discusses Class VI road building and owner waivers
Summary
Chairman Alfred Hanson told the board that, as of July 1, Class VI roads are open to building and urged coordination with town departments; Elizabeth Labbe clarified that the waiver is a property-owner waiver of expectations for town services.
Chairman Alfred Hanson told the Select Board that, effective July 1, Class VI roads are open to building and that all town departments should be prepared to process waiver requests. He asked that Select Board members discuss waiver procedures with Fire, Police, Emergency Management, Highway, and Planning/Zoning departments to ensure consistent handling.
Elizabeth Labbe described the waiver as a mechanism by which a property owner "waiv[es] their expectations for town services," and said the board should be aware of the waiver’s purpose when considering new building on Class VI roads. Judy Newman-Rogers asked for clarification on the waiver's purpose, and the board discussed timing and departmental coordination.
The discussion did not produce a vote; the Select Board indicated it will follow up with staff and bring the topic back as needed for policy or procedural adjustments.
