Longer-form draft.
At the May 26 Select Board meeting, several issues were raised that directly impact the safety and long-term maintenance of Brookline’s infrastructure. Regarding the ongoing local excavation project, there is significant concern regarding dust control, water quality (specifically PFAS), and the physical wear and tear on our roads caused by heavy truck traffic. To address this, the Board discussed the necessity of a formal weight limit study to establish a baseline for road degradation and determine if professional traffic engineering intervention is required. Additionally, the Board addressed a potential error in land-use enforcement. They voted to ask the Zoning Board to reconsider Case 470 regarding a building permit at 224 Route 13. The Select Board noted concerns that the Zoning Board may have applied 1985 ordinances rather than current ones, and potentially misapplied state RSA statutes regarding subdivisions versus lot line adjustments. We will continue to track these decisions to ensure our roads are protected and our zoning laws are applied consistently and legally. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/brookline/select-board/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #BrooklineNH
