Quimby Mountain Stewardship Plan

Conservation Commission member spoke in favor of the plan, calling Quimby a fantastic property that should be made available to the people of Hooksett.

Former 21-year Conservation Commission chair strongly supported the plan, saying the land was purchased to prevent development and that Pinnacle and Heads Pond trails proved abutter fears don't materialize.

Read an email from conservation commissioner Philip Fintanides supporting the plan, arguing easements predate abutters' purchases and objecting at the last minute doesn't make sense.

45-year resident with recreation experience supported the plan, citing Pinnacle and Heads Pond as examples where trails worked well for residents without harming abutters.

Summit abutter presented survey evidence showing the proposed trail sits on his property, cited trespass, slippery summit, wetlands at the parking lot, and asked for a loop trail with a spur instead — supporting the plan overall but not the trails as mapped.

Neighbor supported Lacasse's position, citing trespass risk, fire danger, emergency access, gun club proximity, and deed covenants barring public access through the subdivision; asked the council to amend out the summit trail.
