LYNDEBOROUGH – Changing or updating the town’s policy for building on Class VI and pri-vate roads will be discussed at a joint meeting with the Planning Board before it is adopted. In the meantime, the present policy will continue in effect. A date for the meeting was not named.

Class VI roads are town-owned and public rights-of-way but are not maintained by the town.

Under the current policy, the property owner must sign a waiver stating they will maintain the road in a manner that emergency vehicles can get through and relieving the town of liability if they can’t.

Such waivers are authorized and outlined by state statute, which the town currently follows.

The proposed policy change would add an application process. The proposal has been under dis-cussion for several months. It was suggested that both the police chief and the fire chief be in-volved in the discussions.

Chairman Fred Douglas suggested having a draft of the proposed application before the meeting. A sample of a Wilton policy was provided for study.

Building Inspector Leo Trudeau said there was a possibility of several such buildings in the near future and asked for guidance on issuing building permits. He was advised to use the current poli-cy until a new process is approved.

In other business on Wednesday, the board met with residents Tom and Ginny Chrisenton regard-ing an “involuntary merged lot,” apparently created by the assessor.

Douglas said the town attorney had researched the deeds, dating to 1869 when the lots were merged.

The Christentons argue that there are two lots where the tax map shows only one.

The board decided, under RSA 31:91 A III, there was one lot and “It shall be considered a lot of record,” and given the tax map lot number 19.

Tom Christenton said he wanted “the documentation” for the decision and was advised to file a re-quest under RSA 91-A and he could receive it.

The Planning Board will be informed of the change.

A grant for funds under the American Rescue Plan has been filed and the funds will be received in a few weeks. A public hearing will be held. Over $180,000 will be received over two years to be used to expand broadband coverage.

A contract has been signed with Nashua Regional Planning Commission for a circuit rider, who has been provided with the town’s regulations and will attend the August meeting of the Planning Board.

A discussion of the Land Use Change Tax will be held. It was noted that some residents have pur-chased land in current use listed as “recreational” and posted the property, which is illegal. Land designated recreational has a lower tax rate and must be kept open to the public for passive use such as hiking.

The next regular meeting of the board will be Aug. 11, 6 p.m., at the town office in Citizens’ Hall.
