So, who approved the building project now known as Laurel View Road? Who gave the permits for building those homes? Who owns the poles that carry the electric wires, etc., on that road?
I think that would be the Town of Templeton. Who has been plowing that road for a number of years? Who do the people who live on that road, pay taxes to? Again, that would be the Town of Templeton. If they are not even going to get one service, the plowing of the road, why should they pay taxes at all? So they can drive down Hubbardston Road? The Town of Templeton, through it's planning board failed to ensure that road was constructed properly and now the Town wants to hold the people who live on that road responsible for the Town's failings. On top of that, the Town wants to continue to charge these people fees for that privilege.
How about we, the people, hold the Town Administrator responsible for the recent financial issues, such as using free cash to back up a prior years budget? Lets have a Town Meeting in the fall and by way of citizen petition, move to eliminate the Town Administrator position.
Laugh if you will, but if you by chance see a few employees from the highway and building & grounds department leave town employment, go ask why?
Now, on a public safety issue, I want to know what is the time table to repair Partridgeville Road?
Part of the road is very unsafe for public travel, especially for a school bus. A certified letter will be sent to the selectmen and Administrator, informing them of this so they will be aware of the situation.
We have skunks in the Senior Center, apparently down in the food pantry area and I think we may have a weasel problem in Town Hall. It is time for the selectmen to look out for the people, you know, the ones who elected selectmen to look out for them.
I'm assuming all the proper permits, fees were applied for and signed off by Town Officials. I'm also assuming that each step was approved or why would the building inspector allow for the application of a permit.If the owners who spoke at the meeting memories are accurate it appears the brokers/realtors who sold these properties didn't disclose the private road aspect to the buyers. How is it disclosed on the deeds to these properties?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the Town dropped the ball, then acted as if they did take possession by plowing, repairing, sanding, sweeping, trimming brush. All the while happily collecting real estate taxes.
This needs to get fixed and I dont think we should allow any multi-home developments to be implemented until it is..................
