CORRESPONDENCE
Report of correspondence available at the meeting and in the Selectmen’s office.
FENTON RUBY
This should have been Fenton Bluffs easements. Carol Jordan and Paul Pribula, both members of the Conservation Commission were here to discuss the easements that were deeded to the Town and now some of them are being asked to be returned. Planning and Zoning has no objections to returning the requested easements but the Conservation Commission does. They are concerned with the lack of protection for the property owners and the fact that payment in lieu of does not approach the value of the lots. The Conservation Commission’s preference is to keep the open space land and to keep the easements in place. Selectman Knight commented that he had no problem with maintaining the easements, he doesn’t see what the objection would be on the part of the land owner, any subdivision that would
be done in the future you would still get an easement around the stream, this would just have it in place already. As far as reworking of the open space lots, we might need legal help. Selectman Ennis agreed that we need to know more before we take action. We should ask John to pursue it.
