Applicant offers road‑improvement plan for Long Shores Drive; board to recommend Select Board approval

The Planning Board recommended that the Select Board consider a private‑road improvement plan proposed for Long Shores Drive tied to a building permit application for Lot 49.

Frank, representing the property owner, described a road‑improvement narrative that would shim coat and top coat a roughly 20‑foot‑wide by 500‑foot‑long section of road and add shoulders to improve access for emergency vehicles. "Our proposal is to, shim coat and top coat the, paint section, which is a 20 foot wide by 500 foot long stretch," Frank said to the board.

Board members noted the work would improve access for fire apparatus and that the town’s road/road‑agent formula would determine the applicant’s contribution; Frank said preliminary estimates put the project in the range of roughly $35,000. The board moved to draft a recommending letter to the Select Board and forward the application with a positive recommendation.
