4. The construction of 1 water supply well and any related activities including, but not limited to, pump testing, construction of a small structure to protect the wellhead, construction of a unpaved access road to the wellhead, fencing, and underground or aboveground utilities to serve the well, provided that the construction shall be completed in a manner which is designed to maintain the existing and planned trail connections to adjacent parcels.
SECTION 2. The conservation commission and the board of selectmen or their designees of the town of Stow shall take all actions they deem necessary or advisable in their sole discretion to carry out the amendment of the conservation restriction and acceptance of a revised conservation restriction as set forth in this act including, without limitation, the execution of all documents relative thereto.
SECTION 3.
