At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.
- What: Nantucket Electric Company (National Grid) petition, plan 313-495-75, for about 25 ft of 2 to 3 inch conduit from a Fairgrounds Road pole to a new handhold, to serve a new electric connection. The service address is omitted here.
- Where it stands: approved 2-0 on 2026-10-19, with Matt recused after disclosing a personal interest in the property.
- Next: nothing pending before the board.
Conditions and concerns
- Sewer department: a 12-inch sewer force main lies close to the bike path; the contractor must contact the department for a mark-out. The department provided a sewer main plan.
- Preference to bore under the bike path rather than cut the asphalt; cutting is allowed only if the sewer main prevents boring.
- Proper compaction of the underlayment and bike path repair are required so the path does not sink.
- No public comment. The hearing closed 2-0 with one recusal, then the motion carried 2-0.

Log
- 2026-10-19 - Select Board (Licensing & Petitions) — Public hearing closed and petition approved 2-0 (Matt recused) with bore-under preference and compaction requirement.
2026-10-28 - Select Board
The town license to National Grid for underground distribution at 6 Fairgrounds Rd was approved unanimously; the permanent easement still goes to Town Meeting in 2027. The board also ratified its October 19 vote on the related National Grid petition (4-0, one member recused), with a stipulation to bore under the bike path unless a sewer main conflicts. The County Commissioners had earlier approved the grant of easement by unanimous roll call.
