LWCF inspector flags missing signs and encroachments on several conservation parcels
Summary
A Land and Water Conservation Fund inspection raised concerns about missing LWCF signage and visible path encroachments at properties including Marshall and Woodlock; an inspector report is forthcoming and the commission will review it when available.
Selectman Paul Wainwright briefed the commission on a last-minute Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) inspection, saying the town used LWCF funds in the 1980s and that some landowners accepted half the appraised value while LWCF covered the balance. Wainwright listed LWCF properties that include Slade, Marshall, Sawyer, Woodlawn, Crown Hill, Stickney and Woodlock and said the program typically inspects properties about every five years but it has been about 10 years since the last inspection.
Vice Chair John Fournier told the commission he located LWCF signs for some sites but many signs are missing; he also said the inspector was concerned about encroachments at Marshall near Boulder Cove Road and visible informal paths from private properties onto conserved land. Wainwright said the inspector will include recommendations in a written report, which the commission will review when completed.
