PETITION
FOR
STREET DISCONTINUANCE
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF ALDERMAN OF THE CITY OF NASHUA:
Pursuant to the Nashua Revised Ordinances, Chapter 285, Section 24, the undersigned
requests that the following described portion of:
Conant Road; the areas identified as AREA ‘A’ and AREA ‘B’ on the attached PROPOSED
REVERSION PLAN prepared by JEFFREY LAND SURVEY, LLC
be discontinued from public dedication or use:
. The petitioners Edward &. Melissa Gilbertson, of 121 Conant Road, owners of record of
Parcel C-1032 AND Michael Fournier, of 119 Conant Road, owner of record of Parcel C-2800,
jointly petition for the AREA ‘A’.and AREA ‘B’ be discontinued from public dedication or use.
AREA ‘A’ and AREA ‘B’ constitute in excess of 60% of the total square footage encompassed by |
areas ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’ on the attached plan. AREA ‘A’ and AREA ‘B’ border Katie Lane.
in compliance with direction from the Nashua City Engineer, Stephen Dookran, P.E., and
Nashua City Surveyor, Mark Jennings, all four adjacent properties have been surveyed and
included on the attached PROPOSED REVERSION PLAN prepared by JEFFREY LAND
SURVEY, LLC. All comments and feedback received from multiple reviews of this survey plan by
the City Engineer's Office have been incorporated by Mr. Gregg Jeffrey into the attached — .
PROPOSED REVERSION PLAN.
The petitioners understand that the City Engineer would prefer all four landowners to jointly
submit the petition; however, with Alderman Jette checking with Attorney Celia Leonard, and with
her reply that one or all of the four owners can petition “that the City discontinue a street or a
portion of ROW’, the joint petitioners would like to petition for a partial discontinuance of Areas ‘A
and ‘B’.
in compliance with the request of the City Engineer’s Office, all four landowners who could
potentially benefit from the proposed reversion plan of Areas A,.B, C, and D have been personally
contacted by Edward and Melissa Gilbertson multiple times to invite their participation in the
discontinuance. Michael Fournier, of 119 Conant Road, has agreed to join the petition after the
first contact and has also invested significant funds into his property survey. Brian and Lynne
Mullally, of 68 McKenna Drive, have responded that they would very much like to join the petition
to have the land identified as Area ‘D’ added to their property, but the costs would present a
financial hardship for them at this time. Daniel Toupin and Patricia Falbo-Toupin, of 123 Conant
Road, have no interest in joining the discontinuance. When first contacted, they stated that they
did not want to pay the expense for the surveyor, nor to pay any additional taxes. On our third -
contact with them, we informed them that we had paid for their survey and that Alderman Jette —
had found the amount of their potential tax increase to be only $81 annually. Dan Toupin stated
that they still did not want to participate because they did not agree with the surveyed markers
that had been coordinated with and already reviewed by the City Surveyor, Mark Jennings.
The petitioners thank you for your consideration of this petition.
