Roby Street, so if they put their barrels out there they would get trash pick-up. If they keep the barrels on the private road,
there would not be trash pick-up.
Alderman Dowd
| researched this on the Manchester Street issue and both Matt Sullivan and with DPW. No there would be no trash
collection, no plowing on private roads for a number of reasons which people can research if they want to. You can’t bring
your barrels to the end of the street and expect the City to pick them up. They won’t do that.
Alderman Cathey
Based on this topic, I’m going to withdraw because | had a different understanding based on what came before the
Planning Board.
President Wilshire
Anyone else? Alderman Lopez.
Alderman Lopez
| just would like to ask Corporation Counsel for their opinion on the amendments that they were working on and then
additionally (this probably sounds like a stupid question but since it’s been over 110 years since the road was conceived
and we don't do these petitions very much), where the Petition includes a specific address does that create any
complications if later we have to amend the address for any future projects like trying to get E911 up-to-date or something
along those lines? Two questions for Attorney Bolton.
Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel
| think the E911 protocol were taken into consideration by the Fire Marshal’s office when they assigned the 19 Roby
Street address to this parcel. So if the legislature changes the law and requires us to renumber everything, this will be
included in that but | don’t anticipate that happening. That’s going to be the same situation with every property that the
legislature requires it will have to do it. But | don’t think it presents a particular problem in this case.
I’ve got no opinion on the trash collection. As far as | Know, my office was not asked to review that and it’s a new question
which would take some research before | could give an informed opinion on that. | have every reason to believe that the
situation is exactly as Attorney Westgate and Alderman Jette described it, so if this is what the Fire Marshal’s office
desires, | see no legal impediment if any of you wish to have written confirmation from the Fire Marshal’s office that’s up to
you.
Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam President. | have no issue with what the Fire Marshal. My only concern, and | know it sounds like a
silly one, but | don’t want anybody to come later on. We do have a case with a very angry builder in Ward 2. It’s my
constituent which is why I’m involved in it that is very upset that he can’t get trash pick-up - were told could not bring it to
end of street. If that is the case, then he could bring it to the end of the street as was spoken to the 19 Roby property. So
| want to have equity and fairness. | want to make sure that we’re doing it the right way because Alderman Dowd and |
will both will be getting some phone calls because we know he’s listening so if we can. | Know Matt Sullivan, soon to be
Director Sullivan, is on the line. | hate to put him on the spot. He may not be able to answer this question. | don’t see
anybody from Public Works there, but if maybe we could get more information. | really am concerned about it because we
both have been going round and round for months on this one.
President Wilshire
Mr. Sullivan is here.
Matt Sullivan, Planning Director
I’d be happy to address this question. For the record, Matt Sullivan, Planning Director for the City of Nashua. The
uncertainly that Alderman Cathey referred to at the Planning Board level was that this specific situation is bit of an unclear
one in that we are not certain whether to treat it as a private driveway or as a private road. Therefore there was some
