The second petition is required to be submitted by <br /> Monday, July 8, 2024 to meet the deadline requirements forte October Town Meeting. <br /> Jack Hachey a resident of Whippoorwill Circle asked who owns Wills Work Road. It was reported there <br /> was a typographical error in the announcement. The plans do not include Wills Work Road which is <br /> owned and maintained by the Commonwealth of A. The plan does not include any work to Wills Work <br /> Road. When asked how a betterment is calculated it was replied by the total number of properties in the <br /> neighborhood, and not by the amount of frontage on a road. With regards to the plan, it was noted that <br /> stormwater improvements are planned, and some of the association properties would be impacted for <br /> stormwater runoff. <br /> At a recent Select Board meeting, a resident presented a video depicting the severity of the flooding. This <br /> plan would mitigate the flooding and stormwater runoff would be addressed. However, it is currently not <br /> known if there are any other contributing factors. <br /> Being no further comment, the Board motioned as follows; <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cotton to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br /> VOTE: ® Unanimous. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Sherman,yes Selectman Weeden,yes Selectman Wyman-Colombo,yes <br /> Selectman Cotton,yes Selectman O'Hara,yes Opposed,none <br />
