Wednesday, April 14. 1971 Merrimack Group Lists Reasons For Opposing Construction Site By CYNTHIA JONES MERRIMACK The Merrimack Board of Selectmen received a letter from the Conservation Commission listing its reasons for opposing the construction of buildings in the Twin Bridges area. With incuts, no scheduled appoint- the beard persi the proximity ot the proposed building to it. "We are in accord with the ambitions and feelings of those proposing the building project but we do not feel that this is the place for it.

"As a committee we feel that no parent would want us to con- business agenda and signed a pislol permit for Charles Barry of Snnnydalc Drive, and a renewal for Francis Barry, Drouin Way. A junk yard license was requested by Reeds Ferry Salvage Yard, but the board will hold this until the firm complies with regulations. A junk yard license was signed for Frank Robbins of Bales Road. A cilizcn spoke of Ihe drainage problem on Quincy Lane. The board had recommended that he make a hump in his driveway to let the water run off his property.

He had done this as a temporary measure, but he stated that to do this permanently, he would only be moving the problem to his neighbor's property. There is a spring at the top of the hill which creates the problem and he said Quincy Lane definitely needs drainage. Selectman Richard Bellville agreed to look into this. A telephone call from Edwin Woodward, Conservation Commission, brought the matter of the proposed special town meeting into focus again. The letter sent by the Conservation Commission was postmarked April 9, but wasn't received by the board until April 12.

None of the members of the Conservation Commission attended the meeting held Saturday at the town hall. The letter cites the reasons for objecting to any buildings on the Twin Bridges area, as follows: Reasons For Objection Listed "For many years a group headed by John Pirog raised money at the annual town meeting to defray costs in land clearing and for the construction of a swimming pool here. The intent was to use the area for a i tribute to the possible dangers iUM to their children by having a by building here as it is too close to a highly traveled highway in addition to the above conditions. "This is considered one of the beauty spots between Boston and the White Mountains and has been used by artists in their work." The letter was signed by Harold Thresher, chairman; the Rev. John Wright, Roger Lawrence, Henry Kiestlinger, John Pirog and Edwin Woodward.

Oppose Special Town Meeting The selectmen planned to discuss this further during their executive session. Chairman Ronald Geiger said he had received phone calls from two former selectmen objecting to a special town meeting on the grounds that each time a controversial issue comes up, the attitude might be to request another special town meeting. The selectmen plan to announce all new appointments to town committees next week.

The state has indicated that the town must accept this road even though it does not meet The board has checked all property damage done by snow plows and found all to have been on town'property. A. Engelhardt reviewed his 20- year old problem with the board.

Birch Street, which is the closest access road to his property, is not maintained by the town and he has been unable to get to his legal residence since Christmas. He stated his is a year-round home, but he cannot live there. The town has claimed in the past that this is not a town road; ownership of the road has never been established. Engelhardt maintains that if this is so, the town is plowing other private roads; in that case his road should also be plowed, graded and proper drainage put in. He said he has reviewed his case practically yearly with the boards; they have inspected the section and nothing is ever done.

The problem still remains as to the ownership the road, but the board will seek legal advice in the matter. Englehafdt has spoken with officials at the Veteran's Administration who say he is entitled to this maintenance, and further, that if this isn't done, they will proceed to see that it will be done. The board agreed to'investi- gate. Executive session a at 9 p.m. A pictures swimming, hiking and a fishing specifications.
