Discontinuance Area ‘A’

A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE HISTORIC LOCATION OF GROTON ROAD LOCATED IN THE CITY OF
NASHUA, COUNTY OF HILLSBOROUGH, STATE OF NEW EIAMPSHIRE, SITUATED ON THE NORTHERLY
SIDE OF GROTON ROAD, BEING SHOWN ON A PLAN TITLED “DISCONTINUANCE PLAN PORTIONS OF
THE HISTORIC LOCATIONS OF GROTON ROAD NasHua, NEW EIAMPSHIRE” PREPARED FOR
ETCHSTONE PROPERTIES, INC. DATED: JANUARY 19, 2021, BY HAYNER/SWANSON, INC. (THE
“DISCONTINUANCE PLAN”) AND BEING DESCRIBED MORE PARTICULARLY AS FOLLOWS:

16. The Petitioner hereby consents to the deprivation of access over Discontinuance
Area ‘A’ and Discontinuance Area ‘B’, in the context of such areas no longer being a public

highway or city road upon the granting of this Petition.

City of Nashua discontinued or released as a public right-of-way Discontinuance Area ‘B’ at any
time, notwithstanding the fact that it was not constructed, nor was it used in connection with the
1937 road realignment.

12. Discontinuance Area ‘A’ does not include any portion of the paved travel lanes of
existing Groton Road and it is not necessary that such land remain as a public right-of-way,
given the current layout and public use of Groton Road, following the 1937 realignment of the
road,

1799, and (ii) pursuant to RSA 229:1, for that portion of Discontinuance Area ‘A’ for which no
layout or acceptance has been found.

9. On November 24, 1847, the Selectmen of Nashua laid out a public road that
seems likely to have been intended to relocate the location of the 1799 public road, possibly to
avoid certain wetlands and straighten out the “S” curve in the 1799 public road layout. The
Petitioner has found no evidence that the 1847 public road layout was ever constructed, opened,
or used by the public.

1799 public road’s layout is a component of Discontinuance Area ‘A’.
