At their April meeting, the West Marlborough supervisors gave Olympic equestrian Phillip Dutton permission to build another stable and a driveway off Hood Road. The township's zoning hearing board had already given him permission to put in the driveway, which will be the third one on his True Prospect Farm (he needed the zoning board's permission because township rules limit the number to two driveways per property).
Also at the meeting, supervisor Hugh Lofting Sr. gave an update on the Rokeby Road project, reporting that the final grading and seeding will be done as soon as the weather permits. The project involved stabilizing a steep road bank that was steadily crumbling into Buck Run, jeopardizing Rokeby Road.
Mr. Lofting also said the township is waiting to receive engineering sketches for a project to shore up a tiny bridge over a tributary to Doe Run along little-traveled, narrow Runnymede Road. Supervisor Bill Wylie assured residents that the roadwork, which will include a guardrail, "will not change the feel of the road."
Township secretary-treasurer Shirley Walton reported that the township's tax bills have just been sent out. (Every time I write my check to Deborah van Renterghem, I wonder how many other townships have a world-traveling opera singer as their tax collector!)
