Andover Select Board used a 4/26 special work session to review options for the town parcel between Sirard-owned lots on Bradley Lake. Options: do nothing, lot line adjustment, or easement. Easement was the clear preference. #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
Board noted the easement route keeps town ownership and access while skipping the need for neighbor consent or Town Meeting vote. Conservation Commission reps voiced personal support during the discussion.
Next: Town Administrator contacts counsel on legal risks; Conservation Commission discusses by 5/13; full board returns to the matter at a regular meeting. No formal action taken yesterday. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/select-board/2026-04-26/
On April 26 the Andover Select Board held a short work session on the town-owned parcel at Bradley Lake. The board reviewed three options—do nothing, adjust the lot line, or grant an easement—and leaned toward the easement because it preserves town ownership and access without requiring cooperation from the Sirard family or a Town Meeting vote. No vote occurred, but the board directed the Town Administrator to obtain a legal opinion from Town Counsel on easement feasibility and adverse possession issues. The Conservation Commission will take up the matter at its May 13 meeting and report back before the Select Board schedules further discussion. Residents interested in how this town land is handled should watch for the item on a future regular meeting agenda once counsel and commission input is received. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/select-board/2026-04-26/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
