Some residents expressed concerns at that time that if the town made concessions to the property owners in the Willow Point area, views of the cove and water would be lost because structures or large trees might be put in place. The most recent selectmen's meeting discussion on the issue took place on Sept. 5. Webster said it is believed the site was town property, and a public access sign would be erected. Webster said the town has been having negotiations with Willow Point residents in an effort to resolve the property dispute, but the negotiations have not gone well. He said each side should give up a little.
Public access is important.
Willow Point resident Sal Sapia disputed the fact that the town appeared willing to cede anything. Royston supported the right of the town crew to remove no trespassing signs believed to be on town property. We will pursue our ownership interest. There's a cloud hanging over several property deeds there.
