The Public Hearing was held up in the Grange Hall at 7:00 PM. Many citizens were present to voice opinions, air out viewpoints and to ask questions regarding Davis Road.
Questions asked regarded where the road would actually be and where it would actually end. The Board was asked to walk out the actual road laid out. The original 1811 Davis Road plan was brought in and shown to the Board. Marsha Rich and Steven Camerino’s letter was read out loud. Conservation and wetlands concerns were voiced. The old stone bridge was asked about in regards to the ability to handle the additional traffic. It was asked who and how the specifications and laws would be upheld by. The land preservation was talked about. It was asked that other possible access might be found instead of opening Davis Road. It was a concern that if the road was brought to a class V level and then more homes placed in this area that the road would then become substandard.

And it was also mentioned that opening this road would set a precedent to the opening of
other roads in this manner.
