Selectboard concludes 2018 access permit remains valid after neighbor objections over septic and well proximity

Sep 14, 2026

An access/curb‑cut at 640 Hardscrabble Road was the subject of dispute over a missing Town record and whether the driveway occupies a designated primary septic site; a signed June 26, 2018 permit was located and the Board concluded the 2018 approval remains in force, withdrawing a new motion to reissue a permit.

The Selectboard took up an access permit application for 640 Hardscrabble Road after town staff could not initially locate earlier records.
