Eversource looks to do maintenance on tower in Bethel

Eversource is looking to do some maintenance on a tower in Bethel off Plumtrees Road.  They asked for a temporary access permit.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker proposed that a temporary easement be approved, as long as the town attorney and Planning and Zoning sign off on the utility's plans for the site.  He added that they must also hold a pre-construction meeting with Planning & Zoning officials.  This involves several pieces of private property, including a parcel owned by the town.  Selectman Bryan Terzian called for them to hold off on the matter and he and planning officials have some lingering questions.  Attorney Martin Lawlor says he's working on some wording in the easement to hold the utility accountable for restoring the site to the condition they found it in. Lawlor says they want to do a pre construction walk to make sure they know exactly what's going to change on the property ahead of time.
