NEWBURY BOARD OF SELECTMEN
MINUTES OF APRIL 20, 2009 MEETING
Selectmen: James Powell, Richard Wright and Gary Budd.
Town Personnel: Dennis Pavlicek, Town Administrator; Donna Long, Administrative Assistant; Henry Thomas, Fire Chief
Public: Representatives from Dubois and King.
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
APPOINTMENT:
Representatives from Dubois and King answered questions that the Board of Selectmen had regarding the Sutton Road Bridge. Powell asked why the new bridge can’t extend 10’ to the east, rather than 5’ to the east and 5’ to the west. Dubois and King representatives said that it is important that the bankline stays even before and after the bridge. They also said that they were uncomfortable taking out the current river bed structure. The selectmen asked if the bridge could be moved, and they were told that if some other changes could be made to the river banks, that the change should be fine. Dubois and King will make another footprint and will bring the plan back to the Department of Environmental Services.
There will be an additional cost for the redesign and re-permit of the project. Powell said to go ahead with the changes so we can be certain that it won’t jeopardize the house of one of the bridge’s abutters. Budd asked how long it would take for the permit to be approved. Dubois and King thought it would take 90-120 days to get the new permit.
