Should we add a special meeting to do this, to review the form?

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MINUTES May 10, 2006 Executive Session Present: Elliot Carr, Paul Hush, Elizabeth Taylor, Roy Robinson, Paul Ruchinskas, Rollie Bassett Guest: Milian Douglass At 5:15 the Committee opened Executive Session to "consider the purchase, exchange, lease, or value of real property is such discussions may have a detrimental effect on the negotiating position of the governmental body and a person, firm, or corporation'. Taylor presented information on the Cope property located just east of the Drummer Boy Property 1. Carr— Drummer Boy—Discussion of site visit and property. 2. Douglass—Mr. Franz, the realtor, said that there was an offer on the house—the other lot is still open. 3. Taylor- On the 17th I will be going in front of the BOS to discuss the Drummer Boy parcel. 4. Hush — Maybe we should not consider buying the lot for affordable housing since we will get better money from the state if it is all recreation or open space. Would housing make sense there if the parcel was subdivided? 5. Bassett—We need to look at this parcel for affordable housing too. It is important that we get moving on housing parcels— divide off the front part of the parcel. We should pursue the parcel for the $750,000. Should we do all three areas on the lot—Open Space, Recreation and Housing —even if it is just 4 units? 6. Carr - Chatham does all sorts of housing. 7. Douglass—If this does not work for housing — it is still good —we should put Mark Robinson on it quick! The Lower Cape CDC is ready to look at this property. 8. The Committee further discussed the issues and would wait to see how the Selectmen respond to the property as a possible acquisition.
