OSSIPEE — Over objections of residents, the Ossipee Planning Board on Tuesday voted to allow the owner of an Effingham gravel pit to use Duncan Lake Road.
William Angelini Jr. of Groveland, Mass., is seeking approvals from Effingham to excavate the so-called Angelini Borrow Pit located at the Effingham end of Duncan Lake Road, which runs to Route 16 in Ossipee slightly south of the Route 28 intersection.
The road assessment was done during a quiet time of the year and does not take into consideration many of the problems. I, personally, felt that the planning board had little concern for the safety of the people who lived/walked on the road. Ossipee’s only Town beach is off of this road and many young people walk the road to and from the beach. I did not get the sense that the board cared. I also did not sense that the board cared much about the taxpayers on the road who would be harmed by this decision. I doubt this is the end of this. I have been at many meetings and am not at all satisfied.
