Note: There is a record that can be found on Templeton Town website concerning a certain parcel of land off / on Crotty Avenue, which is off Route 68 (perhaps state road) that is owned by the inhabitants of Town of Templeton, sold to the town on July 31, 1997 for a dollar. The deed states it was sold to the town from the Otter River Recreation Association for one dollar. It has a conservation restriction in perpetuity and is supposed to be overseen by the Templeton Conservation Committee. One can also find this item on / in town meeting records on Town website or by visiting the town clerk. Deed states no commercial use of land, maintain as a swimming and picnicking facility. Any concerns on this propert, one should probably begin with attending a conservation committee meeting and ask about it.
I went up to Crotty Ave. Couldn't tell it was Town Property. No signs regarding Ownership, Use, Application. No trash Barrels. No Picnic Tables.
ReplyDeleteIts a fine example of Templeton taking someones donation promising future action only to drop the ball and run as soon as the ink dries...........
This is just another cause of the results we see all over our Budget/Town and continue to create today with unplanned, underfunded, poorly staffed projects.........
This is the stuff we should be spending our legal funds handling, straightening out our assets,not questions regarding (I'm not going on because anything would be pointless to say until we actually get a lawyer and get rid of TH )
Conservation committee shouldn't much exists as apparently it, the process, and rational for it has past.....................

ReplyDeleteThere are three of us doing the job of many...we devote much of our time reviewing wetlands permit applications (Notices of Intent) and issuing wetlands permits (Orders of Condition. We need more volunteers on ConComm for that. We also need an active open space committee to make the Open Space and Recreation Plan (it never was approved by the state). We need Stewards to Manage Conservation Land.
ReplyDeleteNo one in this town wants to help, so they really shouldn't be complaining.
