Review and Discuss Draft Presentation Materials and Planned Format for Second Communitv Forum
Elizabeth Randall introduced the beginning of the visioning phase to the committee. The discovery phase has
now concluded — based on the feedback from the survey and the forum, Reed Hilderbrand has begun making
a series of proposals for this property. The community will be asked for their feedback on what appeals to
them, and, at that point, a more holistic plan for the whole property will be developed. Madeleine Aronson
introduced options for each section of the property, divided into the following areas: arrival fields, secluded
buildings, central campus, woodland buffer, cabin village, pond reserve, coastal dune, and beach. For
instance, in the secluded building zone, some of the proposed options involve re -using the buildings for
seasonal workforce housing, or creating new housing for either affordable housing or workforce housing.
Each option is accompanied by a favorability rating scale for various factors such as "cost" and
"public/private benefit".
Pat Hughes asked hove the next community forum will accommodate comments that might approve of some
of the use options, but favor them being sited in a different location. Ms. Aronson says they expect that this
will happen, but that they have tried to provide options for site uses in different areas — for instance, a
number of different possible locations are provided for the community center.
Clare O'Connor -Rice commented that the administration building needs to be labelled clearer in the arrival
fields drawings. Mr. Fryzel asked if a "campus" style community center was off the table, or if this was still
considered an option:'Ms. Randall explained that one of the options listed was the reuse of existing
structures for a community center, so this is still very much an option that Reed Hilderbrand think is worthy
of exploration. Mr. Fryzel responded that this should be explained clearer in the materials. Ms. Randall
agreed that the Reed Hilderbrand consultants will try and make this more explicit.
Selectperson Chaffee'responded to Ms. O'Connor -Rice's earlier comments regarding the labelling of the
administration building in the arrival field drawings. Selectperson Chaffee stated that it was labelled in the
central campus area. �electperson Chaffee also noted that the names "cabin village" and "secluded village"
implied that the use for these areas has been determined, which is an impression that should be avoided —
less determinative names (i.e. blue neighborhood, yellow neighborhood) should be chosen instead. The color
coding could also be clearer in the packet.
Ms. O'Connor -Rice said that the next forum should involve residents defining what they consider a
community center to be. Ms. Jacobus said that "community campus" came up a lot at the forum — it is
important to be clear'that nothing has been decided yet. Ms. Jacobus followed up by asking how the scoring
system on the "public%private benefit" scale was determined. Ms. Randall responded that this scoring was
largely structured around whether the programming would be geared toward the public, or, if in the case of
housing, the public would have less need to access this space.
Sharon Tennstedt asked why the Council on Aging was only being discussed in the context of a new
community center — could it not be located on the property unless it was part of this new facility? Ms.
Randall responded that existing buildings would need to have extensive renovations in order to be

sufficiently accessible to function as a site for the Council on Aging. Mr. Lombardi responded that the existing
dining hall is likely the only current location that could be reused as a site for the Council on Aging. Thomas
Wingard said that finding reuses for existing buildings is primarily the purpose of the committee, and
determining the appropriateness of a new structure is somewhat beyond its charge at this point. Ms. Bebrin
said that it was appropriate to explore all of the possibilities of what a community center on the property on
could look like if residents ultimately decide to pursue this option. Ms. Hughes asked if Reed Hildebrand had
looked at the cost comparison between new construction and renovations, and if this was reflected in the
favorability scales in the packet. Ms. Randall responded that it was difficult to get pricing on something that
hasn't been designedbut they are working on ballpark figures.
Selectperson Chaffee said it was important to offer residents an array of options soon, because if residents
are clear in their positions on things such as a new community center, it helps the committee narrow down
the scope of its work. Mr. Fryzel asked if Selectperson Chaffee's suggestion should be the focus of the second
public forum. Mr. Lombardi responded that it would instead be the focus of the third forum.
i
Mr. Fryzel stated that`the new East Bridgewater Council on Aging should be looked at as a possible model
when examining options for locating the COA on the property.
4
Selectperson Whitne� noted that while it was important to ask residents soon what their ultimate vision is
for a community center, it is also important to ask them the same question in relation to the Council on
Aging. Selectperson Whitney added that he would not be in favor of relocating the COA from one old
building in need of renovations to another old building in need of renovations. Mr. Lombardi said that the
committee has been working under the assumption for the last few years that the COA and community
center would be under one roof as one "intergenerational community center". Ms. Tennstedt that the COA
would likely need to be in an interim space on the bay property while the new community center is being
constructed.
Ms. Aronson continued running through possible use options for the remainder of locations on the property.
Selectperson Chaffee said the health center in the central campus was identified as "staff housing" in all of
the materials —this should be renamed "other town offices".
Peter Johnson said it would be beneficial to end the debate on the location of the COA — the surveys have
demonstrated support for integrating the COA with a new community center. Mike Gradone said if the COA
is going to be included in the community center, does this mean that the Recreation Center will be included
too? Mr. Lombardi responded that the next forum needs to ask people what their vision for a community
center ultimately is. ,;
Mr. Fryzel stated that -.residents will have questions about the administration building— it either needs to be
renovated or knocked. down, and input needs to be solicited on its use if it is renovated. Mr. Lombardi
responded that it could be potentially used as a rental property or a bed and breakfast. Ms. O'Connor -Rice
said that Sea Camps alumni could be asked to help contribute financially to renovate this property.

Selectperson Chaffee,fol]owed up by asking if the Town could legally operate as a landlord. Mr. Lombardi
responded that this was legally permissible.
Mike Gradone brought up the issue of constructing sports courts on the property. He said that it was
important to note that tennis courts were likely a better fit for the property than pickleball courts — the sport
of pickleball generates a lot of noise. John Phillips said that the Brewster Pickleball and Senior Tennis groups
have met to discuss the current court situation in Town. He agrees that it is an incredibly noisy sport, and it
would be disruptive ob the bay property. The Senior Tennis group would gladly relocate to the bay property,
and Brewster Pickleball could remain at Stony Brook.
Mr. Lombardi stated that the second forum would also take place on site at the property from 12pm to 5pm
on August 5. The planis to open up the administration building, arts building, boat house, and a
representative sample of the other buildings.
Update on Brewster Community Pool
Mr. Lombardi said that the pool has received a lot of positive feedback. The 100 -swimmer capacity has not
yet been reached, and so a decision was made to expand the number of guests people can bring this summer
from 10 to 20, and provide additional dates to purchase these passes in-person. 650 seasonal passes have
been sold to date. Revenue now exceeds $100,000, which is in line with initial planning.
Mr. Gradone said that programming was going well. One scheduling hiccup occurred but was quickly
resolved. Swim lessons and water aerobics classes have also been popular. Selectperson Chaffee said the
pool is in excellent condition, and water aerobics was a great experience. Ms. McCarley said she has spent a
lot of time in the pool; and noted that Mike and the staff have been incredibly accommodating. Mr.
Lombardi said that he -expects the pool furniture to arrive in the next few weeks.
Review Upcoming Approved Interim Uses and Vote on Proposed New Interim Uses
Mike Gradone said he has submitted a one -day entertainment license request to the Select Board for the
upcoming DJ party onJuly 27.

Ms. Bebrin brought up the "open house" and volunteer appreciation event, tentatively scheduled for
Saturday, September 30, 2023, and asked if committee members would like to assist with the planning
efforts. Ms. McCarley`and Ms. Hughes volunteered their help to organize this event.
y f
Ms. Jacobus brought up the "Da Hedge" event, set to take place on Sunday, August 6 from 7.00am to
9.00am. Ed Barber hats found the previous banner which can be displayed. Meg Morris from the Recycling
Commission has offered to help provide food. Residents should arrive no later than 7.00am. Chief Eldredge is
aware that this eventis occurring.
Ms. O'Connor -Rice left the meeting at 6.15pm. Mr. Johnson left the meeting at 6.20pm.

Feedback Re uest for Select Board Annual Retreat on Former Sea Camps Building Block
Mr. Lombardi explained that the Select Board is meeting for their annual retreat next month where they will
develop an updated Strategic Plan that reflects current collective community goals for the next two years.
Their plan serves as a guide to prioritizing initiatives and policies across the organization. As part of this
process Town Administration always reaches out to Town departments and committees to solicit feedback
on what should change or be added to the current plan. The Bay Property Committee should examine the
four goals in the Sea tamps Building Block, included in the packet.
Mr. Fryzel said that the discovery phase is completed, so there are now only really three goals. He expects
that the committee's job in this area will be over by May 2024. The strategic plan will have to be refined
after the Spring Town, Meeting. Mr. Lombardi agreed that the first goal, the discovery phase, is completed.
"Property management" is an ongoing process, and should therefore not be included in the SC -1 goal. The
second goal, "continu'e to develop/refine and implement interim public access/use plans" should remain a
goal. Mr. Lombardi stated that a section of the third goal needs clarification — "determine support for
construction new community center on bay property". Mr. Lombardi asked committee members if this
particular goal needs to be more nuanced, or should it remain explicit. Mr. Fryzel suggested that this section
could be altered to "determine support for a community center on the bay property"— this eliminates the
need to specify whether or not it is a new construction or a reuse of existing buildings. Mr. Lombardi
suggested that in terms of the fourth goal (SC -4) "continue to explore potential short- and long-term
partnerships that may,mitigate acquisition costs or operating expenses and may provide enhanced services,
programs, or ameni4s for residents", the Town is meeting with both the YMCA and Mass Audubon in the
next week to flesh ouir what potential partnerships with these organizations might look like. Mr. Lombardi
suggested that a revenue generation component should be added here — so this goal doesn't just deal with
partnerships, but more broadly looks at bringing in revenue to offset expenses. Ms. Bebrin suggested that a
goal be added to deal"with the need to shift the charge of this committee pending the passage of the master
plans. Mr. Lombardi responded that this would likely be a FY25 goal — although there is a lot more work to be
done first, the committee charge will eventually have to be updated and reconstituted, as the work will not
end with the development of the master plans. Ms. Bebrin added that it is important some iteration of this
committee exists so tlat the entirety of the work does not get left with the Select Board after the approval of
the master plans.
q
Mr. Fryzel noted that in the Boston Nature Center in Mattapan they have created a 14,000 square feet
"nature nook" which is a natural playground for kids with gardening, building and climbing structures — this is
something to consideron the bay property moving forward. Mr. Lombardi responded that something similar
exists at Long Pasture in Cummaquid, and this was good information to have. Ms. Hughes said that while the
committee members were appointed for a year, in reality, the workload is that of a 3 -year term. After the
passage of the master plan at Spring Town Meeting, and after the update of the committee charge, at that
point it may be appropriate to consider extending the committee membership terms. Ms. Bebrin closed by
reminding committee`' members that they have until Friday, July 14 to submit further feedback on the
Strategic Plan goals. S
