Board pursues survey follow-up after concerns about cemetery plot lines

Heidi reported that Becky has been trying to locate the surveyor for the old Berry Place cemetery because residents believe burial plots are too close to property lines; "She tried calling them and couldn't find — they're trying to figure out who surveyed down there because they think the cemetery lines are off," Heidi said. The board discussed whether the town should buy or adjust property lines to provide proper setbacks before any parcels are sold.

Members emphasized caution because the cemetery has been in place for years and altering lines now could create easement or title problems if not resolved. The board asked Heidi and staff to continue efforts to identify the original surveyor, obtain current GIS references, and report back with options for mapping, survey costs, or potential town acquisition to preserve setbacks.
