Recommendation for Warrant Article 29, Disposal of Town-Owned Lots
The Board discussed selling the Town-owned lots by auction or sealed bid. Parent asked why the lots in the Old Wharf area were not joined as one. The Board discussed the ownership of the beach area in front of the property. The Board would like to know the minimum starting bid for the lots.
Pickard moved to request the minimums on the lots before making a recommendation. Reinhart seconded. The motion carried 6-0.
Parent considered the value of the other lot on Pleasant Point. Reinhart asked about contacting the Selectmen about the values of all three lots.
Old Business
Draz asked about sending some of the draft material for Special Permit zoning bylaws to Kopelman & Paige for legal opinion well in advance of Special Town Meeting.
Parent moved that the Planning Board, in accordance to the Charter, send a letter to the Selectmen that Ronald Harper had missed four meetings along with a request to reappoint Harper because of his valuable input to the Board. Pickard seconded. The motion carried 4-1-1.
Other Business
Co-Chair of the Water Commissioners Emily Beebe came forward to present the Road Acceptance Article which had been referred to the Planning Board before it is presented at the April 15 public hearing. Beebe said the roads will be maintained as they are if they are accepted. The Town will install 8-inch water mains and restore Gristmill Way, Goldenrod Lane, Mayflower Drive and Chris Drive to their original condition. All the other mains have been installed on public roads. Fire hydrants will be installed along the route. Planning Board discussed: the extent of the roads involved; the language of the acceptance of the road layout; ownership of the roads; consistency for future expansion; alternate route ideas; use of the State Highway; and the extent of the master plan for the water system.
Draz moved that Planning Board’s report to the Selectmen recommend that serious consideration be given to possible alternative route of running the road west out Old Hay Rd. across Rte, 6, to Old Truro Rd., back to Route. 6, into Money Hill Lane to Briar Lane rather than the Mayflower- Chris Drive loop. Additional information is required. Gray seconded. This would in part correct the existing, inadequate 4 inch water main. The motion to send the report carried 6-0.
Adjournment
Reinhart moved to adjourn. Draz seconded, and the motion carried 6-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
