Reason(s) for Article:
At the May 2001 Town Meeting, Article 14 was approved to appropriate monies to
provide legal work and engineering necessary to lay out and accept certain private
ways, including Coachman's Lane. In order to accept a roadway the Town must
have fee ownership in the Way and receive Town Meeting approval. This article
provides the means through an eminent domain taking to obtain fee ownership in the
roadway. Once fee ownership is obtained, a future warrant article will be presented
for street acceptance.
