Davis Rd.-
Mrs. Barnouski stated that Mrs. Pinard had spoken to an invited Mr. Blackman to the meeting tonight, Mr. Blackman however was not in attendance.
Mr. Stevens stated that the gate which has been up for about 2 months now on Davis Rd, makes him feel uncomfortable or like he is doing something wrong when he has to stop at it. He also stated that it inconveniences him and in the winter he will not be able to get around the posts. He wants to be able to access his property.
Mr. Jordan stated that he had spoken on the phone with Mr. Blackman who doesn’t feel that it’s a Town Road and threatened legal action if he had to take the gate down.
Mr. Jameson stated that he had checked the State of NH, Class VI road inventory and Davis Rd. is listed as a Chichester Class VI road. There is also a substantial file on Davis Rd and its history.
Both Selectmen present agreed that the sign which reads “FOOT AND HORSE TRAFFIC WELCOME, ALL ELSE PROHIBITED” must come down immediately.
Mr. Jameson stated that Mr. Blackman needs a legitimate reason as to why the gate needs to be up.
