LYNDEBOROUGH – The Community Power Program has a new brochure, a timeline “and a really great committee,” Coordinator Robert Hayden told the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday, Aug. 9.

That committee is very diverse, he said, “and has so far provided a schedule. Our plan is to have it ready for a vote at Town Meeting in March.”

The next step is a town-wide mailing, at the suggestion of the Select Board.

Selectman Chairman Mark Chamberlain said, “We have a large number of people who aren’t computer savvy and with the opt-out option we want to get the word out to everybody.”

Hayden will work out the logistics of the mailing with Town Administrator Russ Boland using a town envelope. “It’s not a requirement, but if you want to do it, we’ll do it.”

Two public hearings have to be held,” Hayden said. “We want to hold them in a place where we can Zoom.” After approval by the town, there have to be two more public meetings.

“We’re doing great and have plenty of time,” Hayden said. If everything is approved, it would be implemented next summer.

In other business of Wednesday, discussion of the tax exemption for the Jetavana Buddhist Temple was postponed. Requested information has not been received from attorneys.

After a short discussion of the use of wheeled vehicles on Scout Road and access for hunters, Conservation Commission Chairman John Pomer was “given the board’s blessing” on a contribution to the Piscataquog Land Conservancy for the purchase of a property on Rose Mountain adjoining the town forest.

Selectman Fred Douglas noted the damage to Scout Road by off-road vehicles in the past and asked Pomer “to keep an eye on it.”

Thanks were extended to PLC for their preservation and conservation efforts on the mountain.

At the request of Code Enforcement Officer Leo Trudeau research was done, and it was agreed that required “set-backs from front property lines,” where those are along roads, means from the edge of the town’s easement. The Planning Board will discuss it further.

“Gregory Lane” was approved for a common driveway off Center Road which will serve three residences. “Private Way” has to be included in the sign. E911 requires names for all such private driveways for emergency services.

Trudeau said he had made an inspection under Citizens’ Hall because it was noticed that the floor in the Police Department was :sagging.” He said, when the building was renovated in 1999, part of the original chimney was not removed and is “pressing down on the supporting timbers.”

Removal of that chimney was recommended. It will be discussed by the Heritage Commission at their meeting on Aug. 25.

Citizens’ Hall was constructed in 1888 and is listed on the Register of Historic Places.

Trudeau was authorized to “look into a possibly failed septic system.” He said he had tested a small brook in the area, and it was clean. He will continue to monitor the site.

Boland said use of American Rescue Plan Act funds has to be determined in the near future.

The next meeting was set for Wednesday, Aug. 23, 6 p.m., in the town office. A presentation will be made at that time of a Record Digitization plan.
