Selectboard waives Tucker Mountain grading permit in one-time approval, will revisit Class 4 road policy
Summary
At residents' request the Selectboard voted to waive the permit requirement for grading Tucker Mountain Road for this instance, citing liability and Class 4 road policy concerns and promising to craft a permanent policy later.
Residents of Tucker Mountain asked the Selectboard to waive the Town’s permit requirement for grading the road with private equipment. After discussing liability and the Town’s policy that it does no maintenance on Class 4 roads, the Board voted to waive the permit requirement in this particular instance, with the understanding that it will revisit and consider a permanent policy on Class 4 road maintenance and permitting.
The motion to waive the permit was made by Chair Susan Culp and seconded by Selectboard member Shauna Prime. The minutes record the Board’s decision and note the intention to return to the issue for formal policy development rather than adopt a permanent change at the same session.
