Minutes of Meeting – November 10, 2016; meeting called to order at 10:00am. Present: Warren Archey; Ed Lane; Channing Gibson; Ken Fowler. Absent: Dave Roche.
The TM presented the Board with a draft STM warrant in the agenda packet. The STM will deal with three issues: Discontinuance of a portion of Willow Creek Road as a public way from the property line with LVWTF in order to comply with DEP’s conditions in the Post-Closure Use Permit, obtain authorization to acquire properties and easements along Crystal and Valley Streets in order to construct the new Valley Street bridge and the acceptance of Chapter 653, Section 40 of the Acts of 1989 at the request of the Board of Assessors.
Article #1: He explained that this section of Willow Creek Road will be behind a fence once the solar project is completed. He further explained that should we not obtain an executed agreement from Jacklyn Peters for her parcel of land, it will be necessary to do a taking.
Article #2: He stated that this article will authorize the Board of Selectmen to negotiate utility and temporary/permanent easements and property takings for the benefit of the Valley Street bridge project.
Article #3: The Board of Assessors requested that this article be placed on the warrant. It allows the Town to assess properties for taxation based on values as of June 30 rather than January 1.
