I am currently a senior in the Police Program, and will be graduating with my bachelor's degree in criminal justice this May. Shortly after graduation, I will enter into the MPTC certified academy that offers their Police Program students. I am aware that the Hopkinton Police Department has hired multiple graduates from the I Mlacademy, and I am hopeful that these recruits have reflected positively on the program as a whole. I have lived in Hopkinton for my entire life. In fact, my siblings and I are the fifth generation to have grown up on my family's farm down on Mechanic Street in Woodville. I am proud to call Hopkinton my home. I feel as though I have grown up alongside the town. When I was young, there were only around 10,000 residents, and by now that number is close to doubling. I think it is safe to say Hopkinton is at its most diverse point as a community, and that this diversity is likely to continue increasing as the years go by. Hopkinton provided me with so many luxuries growing up, from a great education to a constant sense of safety and security. Now that I am seeking to begin my law enforcement career, I believe that serving the community that gave so much to me is the best way to express my gratitude towards it. I want to do my part to ensure that the same feelings that I hold are preserved for current and future residents of the town. believe that I possess the knowledge and professionalism that is necessary to fairly and effectively enforce the law of the Commonwealth, as well as the skills to maintain the trust of the community in my ability to keep them safe. I would be honored for the opportunity to serve the residents of Hopkinton. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

As the UCTC is a Select Board committee, the vote was advisory but clearly showed the town seeking a new direction with regards to development of the Upper Charles Trail. The article called for the UCTC to be replaced with a subcommittee of the TCMC. The Select Board has been reviewing the outcome of the TM vote over the past few months. As part of that effort, the TCMC, as content experts, have been asked for our opinion on the matter. The purpose of this memo is to share our recent deliberations and vote regarding the Upper Charles Trail and its future development. Committee Discussion and Vote At our meeting on July 19, the TCMC continued a discussion regarding the TCMC charge, and in particular, the interaction between the two town trail committees. While we did not finalize our draft charge, we addressed several key issues regarding the relationship of the committees that may be relevant to future Select Board discussions on the UCTC. We had intended to discuss the UCTC charge in detail but ran out of time. We did decide to vote on whether the UCTC should be reconstituted as a subcommittee of the TCMC (TM vote) or should be a separate committee. We felt that either option could work with some changes to current practice but we did vote unanimously to recommend that the new committee be a subcommittee. TCMC Charge Discussion A draft charge for the TCMC is in preparation. Points from our discussion, which was conducted prior to discussing the two committees’ relationship, relevant to the UCTC are: Name – The committee feels the TCMC should be renamed the Trails Committee. This would avoid some confusion for residents. We also suggested that the Upper Charles Trail Committee be renamed something like the Upper Charles Trail Building Committee (UCBC) to avoid confusion by the public. Membership – It was agreed that membership should be comprised of members at large, not members necessarily from other committees. The concern is that requiring members from other committees increases the volunteer workload for those members, can result in a smaller pool of potential volunteers, and can discourage new volunteers. It was agreed that an interest in trails should be the primary consideration, with a desire for a balanced representation of the community, and a mix of relevant skills also being considerations. The number of members (suggest 7) should match the UCTC replacement (see below). Liaisons – It was felt that the Select Board should identify key committees that the Trails Committee should keep in contact with, that members should be assigned to these key committees, and that assigned members should provide a trails update to these committees on a quarterly basis. The liaison should also be available to attend meetings of that committee, if a trails-related issue is on their agenda. Shared member with UCTC – It was agreed that at least one member should also be a member of the UCTC replacement committee. Voting on key trails issues – It was agreed that the TCMC and UCTC should have separate budgets, hold separate meetings, and have separate goals. However, on key funding issues, on issues related to trail surface and route, and on primary trail networks of interest, the TCMC and UCTC would hold joint votes, with a 2/3rds vote required to pass measures (number of members should be 7 on each committee). It was felt that this would better prioritize trail solutions for the town, and would encourage compromise. UCTC Replacement Committee As noted above, the TCMC voted unanimously to recommend that the UCTC replacement be a subcommittee of the Trails Committee. The chair noted that the Select Board was weighing this issue and seemed to be leaning to a separate committee, while the town meeting vote was for a subcommittee. After some discussion, a motion to have the replacement be a subcommittee was made and seconded by two members with considerable town government experience. Considerations were: The primary consideration seemed to be that a committee – subcommittee relationship would firmly establish the relationship between the groups, with the Upper Charles Trail being one of the many trails Hopkinton is looking to build and maintain. The Trails Committee would be responsible for a completed Upper Charles Trail, and as such, it was thought to be important that they be part of the development and planning. Having a Trails Committee-Trails Building (sub)Committee relationship would provide a structure for future building projects; for example, a commuter trail from downtown to the Southborough train station was mentioned. The new committee would be appointed by the Select Board, would have the same number of members as the main committee (and share at least one member), and membership would be based on interest in and experience with a variety of shared use paths. While there was concern raised about a potential loss of institutional knowledge, it was felt that a “lessons learned” meeting could obtain this knowledge and that the committee could benefit from new members. It was noted that controversial issues often encourage participation by new people with new perspectives, to the overall benefit of the town. Similar to a Zoning Advisory Committee or School Building Committee, this subcommittee would meet separately and only interact with the Trails Committee on key issues, as noted above.

Runners will run down Ash street and turn RIGHT onto Blueberry Lane. At the end of Blueberry Lane, runners will turn LEFT onto Thayer Heights Road. Runners will turn LEFT onto Ash Street Runners will turn LEFT onto Park Street and cross the finish line on the Town Common Risk Assessment The highest risk potential in this event is the risk of bodily injuries due to the physical nature of running 3.1 miles, overtaking on the course, and accidents caused by bumping, jostling or tripping. There will be a first -aid kit on site, as well as a registered nurse to tend to any injuries that may occur Other potential risks include: • Dehydration We will be providing bottled water before and after the race finish, as well as a water station just before the 1 -mile mark on the course. Anyone feeling dehydrated should be directed immediately to the nurse for assessment. • Vehicles/Traffic We recommend that participants wear bright / reflective clothing and that if forced to run on the road, stay to the right (facing traffic). Everybody will be advised to check for traffic, not just follow the crowd. Race organizers plan route with minimal risk of crossing roads. The police will be informed that the event is taking place. Advice will be sought from the police of any issues. • Unexpected Hazards on the course eg. Fallen trees, etc. Course inspection on the morning of the race to minimize unexpected obstacles. Race organizers and volunteers will advise of any unexpected hazards which they come across e.g. roadworks, cyclists, overhanging foliage, dog mess, road signs, fallen trees, fallen walls and pot -holes. • Common injuries associated with this form of activity (Sprains, strains, pulled muscles, dehydration etc) Due to the nature of the event, runners may sustain any number of common injuries. Runners will be advised to warm up thoroughly and only compete if they are able to. The decision whether to run or not is left to the discretion of the individual but they run at their own risk.

Michael's Run organizers and race director shall respond to emergencies through a coordinated response, keeping in mind the following priorities: life safety, incident stability, and property conservation. In the event of an emergency requiring a response by outside emergency response agencies, the command of the incident will be relegated to the proper emergency response authorities. Michael's Run directors will concentrate on maintaining the safety and operation of its employees, independent contractors, officers, directors, committee members, members, coaches, agents, and volunteers, as well as its property and will provide assistance and support to emergency responders as requested. Event Inspection The building inspector will make a pass over the tent and make sure that everything is up to code either the day before the race or the morning of the race.

The Hopkinton Board of Health inspector will be able to inspect food preparation and health codes on the day of the event as well. The TEMPORARY FOOD ESTABLISHMENT permit will be hung visibly where the food will be served. Accident Reporting and Investigation A post -incident report should begin as soon as is practical following any emergency incident requiring the activation of the Emergency Procedures. The purpose of this report is to identify and define any problems that may have been encountered during the response, seek alternatives, disclose ways to prevent future incidents, and improve the Emergency Procedures. Provisions for People with Special Needs This event will have an above average number of children and adults with disabilities. Those individuals with disabilities that are attending who require direct care are required to attend the event with a parent or a direct -care provider. In case of an emergency it will be the responsibility of the parents or direct -care providers to adhere to the directions as given by event organizers or emergency responders as needed to keep the individuals in their care safe. Contingency Plan SCENARIO ACTION Absent speaker/entertainer Bad weather Power cut Catering shortage Registration delay If the announcer does not show, Ricardo Barraza will replace them for announcements and music selections. In the event of a sudden downpour, ensure there is adequate shelter for all. People can use the tent and gazebo for this as well. If the weather should worsen, the event may be cancelled. This judgement call will fall upon the race director or Respite Center directors. Electrical outlets should be tested the day before the race. If the electrical outlets on the common fail, unplug everything immediately. Check the outlets for the "test" and "reset" functions. Make sure that the electrical load entering the outlet is under the capacity of the outlets. If power will not restore, a small generator may be used for the speaker only. Generators may be rented from 495 Rental in Milford, MA. A proper assessment of attendance should be done with registration numbers. This will be used to calculate the amount of food to prepare in advance. In the event that the food supply should run out early, a large order of pizzas should be placed from Bill's Pizza in Hopkinton. Bill's Pizza Phone number: (508) 435-0447 If there is a surge in "day of" registrants or in the event that the registration tables become overwhelmed or delayed, the start of the race can be delayed for up to 15 minutes in order to accommodate the influx. If more time is needed, the registration team and directors have the right to shut down registration in order for the event to begin. Runners and walkers may still participate in the run/walk by filling out and signing a release waiver, however, their times may not be recorded and a bib may not be assigned. Broken toilet Disruptive guest/Security Risk In the event of a broken port -a -potty, the broken port -a -potty must be locked with a zip -tie at the door, and a sign marked "out of order" must be placed on the front of the door as well. If there is an extra volunteer available, they can float around the bathroom area directing people to the other functional restrooms. The following activities will not be tolerated during the event: • Physical or verbal harassment of other participants, spectators, volunteers, workers, the public or Respite Center staff. • Sexual misconduct, such as indecent exposure, offensive touching, or other sexual harassment • Engaging in disruptive and unsafe behavior that disturbs other participants, spectators, volunteers, workers, the public or Respite Center staff. • Possession or use of any illegal drug, narcotic or banned substance • Possession or use of any item defined as a weapon, illegal or not. • Distribution or consumption of alcoholic beverages. • Disruptive or inappropriate behavior, or any engagement in activity prohibited by law • Any act which could result in substantial risk of harm to people or property A person(s) in violation of any of these policies will be asked to leave the event immediately. If the violator has registered to participate in the event, no reimbursement will be issued. The Hopkinton Police Department should be contacted if a person(s) who has been asked to leave the event and will not comply. Multiple staff should visibly monitor the violator(s) until the police arrive. Once the police arrive, they should be updated with a verbal report on the actions of the violator(s) Sick team members AWOL staff Attendee confusion Medical emergency/Accidents Roster more staff than are actually needed so that there are a few "spares" that can be assigned to positions anywhere. Sick team members or volunteers may be replaced with "spares". There is always likely to be occurrences of event staff that go missing temporarily from their station. Causes might include a distraction, treatment of an injury, confusion over times and places where they are supposed to be, and toilet and refreshment breaks. Replace AWOL staff with any spare volunteers that might be in need of a task. Have plenty of signage posted visibly around the course, tent, and food -serving areas for information. Have volunteers prepped with basic information in order to answer any attendee's questions. The DJ should also be making plenty of announcements that will prompt the attendees on the timeline of events including: • Registration opening/closing • Start of race announcement • Where to line up and when • Announce when food is ready • Lost and Found items • General announcements that need to be made Organize first aid and/or other qualified medical personnel to be in attendance throughout the event, including on the race course. Roster on more staff than the minimum required so that if one person requires treatment it will not impact on the running of the event. Ensure driveways and entrances are not blocked to emergency personnel Train all event staff what to do in an emergency and when unexpected events occur. In the event of an emergency dial 911. Try to get as much information on the person as possible to relay to the paramedics. Locate emergency contact for the person and contact them.

SS On this day of . 20 , personally appeared before me, the undersigned Notary Public, . as Select Board Members aforesaid, proved to me through satisfactory evidence which was to be the persons whose name are signed on the within document, and acknowledged that they signed it voluntarily for its stated purpose on behalf of the SELECT BOARD OF THE TOWN OF HOPKINTON. Notary Public My Commission Expires: 5 To:Select Board From:Norman Khumalo Date:July 27,2023 Ref:Staff Report -Select Board August 1,2023 Meeting 1.Main Street Corridor Project:Dave Daltorio (Town Engineer/Facilities Director)and Michell Murdock (Project Specialist)have provided the attached update (See Attachment 1). 2.Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)treatment project:Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)treatment project:Weston and Sampson is reviewing Baystate Regional Contractors’change order to relocate a fiber optic cable.Digging for excavation will commence shortly.Again,PFAS information for owners of private wells is available here.If residents have questions or concerns regarding PFAS in private wells,they may contact the Health Services Department at 508-497-9725. 3.MassachusettsWater Resources Authority (MWRA)Southborough Interconnection Project: Now that both Southborough and Hopkinton have hired their respective DPW Directors,we are scheduling our meetings to finalize the draft IMA.. 4.Affordable Housing Committee:I respectfully request that the Board initiate the formation of an Affordable Housing Committee.In 2010,town meeting created the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.The fund has a balance of $4,093,368.84.Most recently,the Trust has expressed a desire to begin disbursing funds to qualifying projects.Unfortunately,the Town has not had a mechanism for creating projects that would be eligible for funding from the Trust.Thus, forming an Affordable Housing Committee would provide a local institution to assist the Select Board in providing a full range of housing choices for households of all incomes,ages, and abilities.Such efforts would minimize the displacement of our seniors on fixed incomes, identify our workforce housing needs and reduce the out-migration of younger residents.The specific objectives of this committee are to: a.Develop a Housing Production Plan with clear production metrics. b.Propose specific measures to sustain Hopkinton’s affordable housing inventory at greater than the state’s benchmark of 10 percent of the Town’s total housing units. c.Ensure that the Town uses town-owned land purchased for affordable housing for that purpose. d.Improve community understanding of the relationships between housing affordability, equity,economic vibrancy,and maintaining and preserving the character and history of Hopkinton as a welcoming and inclusive community. 1 e.Take concrete steps to increase public knowledge and understanding about affordable housing. f.Define high-quality,sustainable design to benefit housing residents and the surrounding neighborhood;use of energy-efficient materials and environmentally-friendly construction techniques. g.Recommend specific policies that encourage housing development that is sustainable, affordable,and serves all members of the population;ensure that people with incomes below the area median can access an affordable place to live. h.Advocate and ensure Town policies and bylaws support affordable housing;for example, pursue zoning changes that will help meet needs identified in the Housing Production Plan;and advise the Planning Board and other land use boards about housing impacts of existing land use regulations and planning decisions. i.Leverage Trust Funds and CPA Funds for the creation and preservation of long-term affordability; j.Propose projects for funding by and collaborate with private developers,CPC,and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. k.Measure and report annually on the Town’s progress toward fulfilling its affordable housing goals. Why should the Affordable Housing Committee be separate from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund?The Affordable Housing Trust Fund is responsible for growing and managing the trust fund and evaluating proposals or applications for grants from the trust fund,including selecting proposers to move to the application stage,assessing applications,and approving funding.Note that this approach is consistent with the organization of existing funding-related committees such as the CPC and the Appropriation Committee.These committees do not propose and then approve project funding from the funds they control. 5.License To Perform Lake Maspenock Dam Repairs:T Ford Company Inc.,the selected low bidder for the Lake Maspenock Dam Wall Repair Project,is ready to commence construction of the temporary access road through Milford to Lake Maspenock Dam.This temporary access road will provide access to the construction area and the dam wall.Town Meeting authorized the Select Board to file special legislation to allow the Town of Hopkinton to hold easements in Milford.The Town has submitted that request to the Legislature through Representative Arena-DeRosa and Senate President Spilka’s offices.However,since T Ford Company,Inc.would like to stage the construction for this coming Fall,a license agreement with Milford would permit the construction of the temporary access road to be completed in time for the Dam repairs to commence in the Fall.I am,therefore,asking the Select Board to authorize the Town Manager to execute a Construction Access License with the Town of Milford (see attachment 2)to access a particular parcel of land off of Pine Island Road in the Town of Milford. 2 Attachment 1 TO:Select Board FROM:Michelle Murdock,Dave Daltorio VIA:Norman Khumalo,Town Manager DATE:July 26,2023 SUBJ:Select Board Update:Main Street Corridor Project Date:August 1,2023 MassDOT’s Original Completion Date for the Project is October 22,2023.That date was set at the award of the contract.As of the most recent schedule,submitted by A.F.Amorello on November 8,2022,the project is still on schedule for completion by that date.

The Applicant filed a Uniform Application for Special Permit/Petition for Variance requesting a Special Permit pursuant to Section 210-4, Definition of Home Occupations, for modification to the limitations in item A relative to the sale of bicycles on the property. The Application was accompanied by the following plans: 1) "Building Permit Plan", prepared by Ducharme & Dillis Civil Design Group, Inc., dated Jan. 5, 2012; and 2) untitled, undated plan depicting the septic system, garage and garage addition on the property. Throughout its deliberations, the Board of Appeals ("Board") has been mindful of the statements of the Applicant, and the comments of the general public, all as made at the public hearing. Discussion At the public hearing, it was stated that the home occupation "home business workshop" is a permitted use (allowed by right) in the Agricultural District, and the activity which has been conducted by the Applicant for about 20 years fits within the definition of a home business workshop. It was stated that the Zoning Bylaw contains certain limitations on home occupations, 1 including requiring the occupation to occur in the petitioner's dwelling and requiring that there be no external evidence of the home occupation other than signage. The Applicant conducts the activity in a detached bam/garage on the Subject Property, and displays bicycles for sale in front of the lot near the street, requiring the issuance of a Special Permit. It was stated that the Applicant repairs and refurbishes used bicycles at his home and displays them for sale. He does not have signage or advertising. The Applicant stated that he needs to display the bicycles to sell them, and no more than one person at a time has ever stopped by to look at a bicycle. The Board received verbal and written testimony in favor and expressing concerns about the use. Residents speaking in favor cited the presence of other local home businesses in the neighborhood, stated that it enhances the character of the neighborhood, and it has not been a high traffic enterprise. A resident speaking in opposition stated the use is not permitted by the Zoning Bylaw, it is a hobby and not an occupation, there are too many bicycles and they are displayed too close to the road. Special Permit Criteria Section 210-4, Home Occupation defmition, item A, states: A. The following limitations apply to all classes of home occupations as defined for the purposes of this Chapter, although the Board of Appeals may grant a special permit conditionally modifying such limitations: 1. The occupation is situated in the petitioner's dwelling. 2. There is no major structural change to the exterior nor any other external evidence of such home occupation, other than signage as permitted in Article XXVII, Signs. 3. Not more than one person other than the resident shall be employed on the premises. 4. No more than four clients shall be scheduled in any one hour nor more than 16 in any one day and only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 5. There shall be sufficient parking area on the lot to accommodate expected peak parking by the resident family, employees and clients. 6. No produce nor stock -in -trade shall be sold at retail except insofar as incidental to the home occupation (e.g. teaching supplies), or as specifically permitted in connection with farm uses or home retail occupations. Section 210-223.G states that a special permit may be granted only if the Board determines that all applicable criteria and standards set forth in the Zoning Bylaw have been satisfied, and the grant of the special permit will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw. Section 210-223.H states that the Board of Appeals shall give due consideration to promoting the public health, safety, convenience and welfare, and shall permit no building or use injurious, noxious, offensive or detrimental to its neighborhood except as otherwise specified in the Zoning Bylaw. Special Permits may be subject to whatever appropriate conditions and safeguards the Board may prescribe. The Board of Appeals has considered all of the above -referenced standards and criteria. 2 General Findings 1. The Subject Property is located within the Agricultural (A) District. 2. Section 210-4.B states that home occupations are divided into the following classes, and each is defined: home professional office, home personal service, home business workshop, and home specialty retail. Each of the four residential zoning districts allows one or more home occupation classes by right, in a Permitted Uses provision. 3. The following home occupations are permitted uses (§210-15) in the A District: home professional office, home personal service, home specialty retail, and home business workshop. 4. In a Notice to Cease and Desist the Sale of Bicycles dated April 12, 2023 (the "Notice") to the Applicant from the Assistant Zoning Enforcement Officer, it was stated that the home business constitutes a "home business workshop", which is defined in §210-4, Home Occupations, item B as follows: the business or shop of a painter, carpenter, electrician or similar trade. 5. The Notice stated that while the use is permitted by right, the location of the home occupation in a building other than the petitioner's dwelling and the external evidence of the home occupation (the display of bicycles) requires a Special Permit from the Board of Appeals. 6. The Notice also indicated that the Zoning Bylaw requires that there shall be sufficient parking on the lot to accommodate peak parking by the resident family, employees and clients. There was no evidence or testimony presented that there is insufficient parking on the property for the resident family, there is only one employee (the resident), and it was stated that no more than 1 client at a time has been present on the lot. Findings and Decision After review of the information received and in light of the findings above, the Board voted on June 28, 2023 to find that the grant of a special permit to allow certain modifications to the Home Occupation limitations contained in §210-4, Home Occupations, Item A (1) and (2) as listed below are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw, and to grant a Special Permit modifying the referenced provisions as follows: (1) The occupation is situated in the petitioner's dwelling. Modification: The occupation may be conducted in the detached barn on the property. (2) There is no major structural change to the exterior nor any other external evidence of such home occupation, other than signage as permitted in Article XXVII, Signs. 3 Modification: The Applicant may display bicycles for sale outside on the Subject Property, no more than 15 at a time, which shall be located no closer than 6 feet to the traveled way of Winter Street, and such display shall only be between April 1 and December 31.

On March 28, 2023, Michael Shepard, Assistant Building Inspector, issued a letter: "Subject: Letter dated 14 March 2023 encl. Agricultural Use" (the "Decision") to Michael K. Terry, counsel for Harry Roberts and Anna Dorcey, 1790 Stone Manor LLC, regarding the development of the Subject Property for agricultural uses and the accessory uses thereto. The accessory use at issue in the Decision is the use of the barn for functions such as wedding receptions and the like. The Decision stated that the onus is on the Appellants to "show, financially or otherwise, that the current use is minor in significance and in fact constitutes an accessory use to the planned agricultural use. Unless or until plausible evidence is provided that the primary use of the land is for commercial agriculture, the use of the barn for micro functions shall remain prohibited." 2. On April 27, 2023, the Appellant filed an Appeal of Administrative Decision with the Hopkinton Town Clerk. The Appeal requested reversal of the Assistant Building Inspector's Decision prohibiting use of the barn structure on the property for micro functions (less than 100 guests). The Appellants stated in the submitted supporting documents that Mr. Shepard overestimates the size and impact of the proposed use of the barn, and underestimates the overall agricultural uses of the property. It further stated that the proposed accessory use of the barn will represent only a small fraction of the farm's operations. Information provided 1 by the Appellants during the public hearing process described existing and planned agricultural activities on the property before March 28, 2023, and since that time. 3. The Massachusetts Zoning Act having been duly complied with regarding notice, a public hearing was held on June 28, 2023, continued to July 12, 2023. Throughout its deliberations, the Board of Appeals ("Board") has been mindful of the statements of the Appellants, and the comments of the general public, all as made at the public hearing. Discussion At the public hearing, the Appellants described activities that have been completed, are underway, and are planned, as they work to create agricultural uses on the Subject Property. The Appellants stated that most of the work was undertaken after the Decision was written. The Appellants requested that the Board overturn the March 28, 2023 Decision and find that with appropriate conditions, the use of the barn on the Subject Property in connection with functions is a permitted accessory use and bears a reasonable relationship to the primary agricultural use of the Property. At the public hearing, the Assistant Building Inspector referred to the Decision which states: I know we are in basic agreement regarding the latitude afforded agricultural uses and the accessory uses therefrom. We have reviewed your letter that defines the agricultural uses that your client will be pursuing. The plan seems well thought out and aggressive and if it comes to fruition I suspect the occasional use of the barn for functions such as wedding receptions and the like would be approved subject to Planning Board action and implementation of the requirements of the building code regarding safety and accessibility of the patrons for assembly uses. The Decision further states that "to date we have seen no evidence of an agricultural use on the property". The submitted materials indicated that at the time the Appeal was filed, 30 days after the Decision was written, "clearing of the land and soil preparation has begun for the 2023 planting season'''. The Board heard testimony from residents who expressed support for agritourism and use of the property for agriculture, community gatherings and functions; and from those who expressed concern that the primary use of the property is presently not agricultural. The Board indicated that its jurisdiction in this matter is limited to either upholding or reversing the Assistant Building Inspector's Decision. While the Appellants provided information on their plans for the property and their progress on its implementation since the March 28, 2023 Decision, the Board's role relates only to the decision made on March 28, 2023. The Board encouraged the Appellants and the Assistant Building Inspector to continue communications ' Memorandum in Support of Appeal of Administrative Decision, Michael K. Terry, April 27, 2023, page 3 2 regarding the establishment of the agricultural use as the primary use of the property, and the allowable accessory uses customarily maintained in connection with such primary use. Standards Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 14 states that the Board of Appeals may, in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 40A, make orders or decisions, reverse or affirm in whole or in part, or may modify any order or decision, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken and may issue or direct the issue of a permit. General Findings 1. The Subject Property is located within the Residence B (RB) and the Agricultural (A) Districts. 2. The Subject Property contains a single family dwelling and a detached barn. 3. The Subject Property contains 6.91 acres of land. Specific Findings and Decision After review of the information received and in light of the findings above, the Board voted on July 12, 2023 to uphold the March 28, 2023 Decision of the Assistant Building Inspector. At the time of the Decision, there was no evidence of agricultural uses on the Subject Property. The primary use of the Subject Property was not agricultural, and therefore, the proposed accessory use of the barn for functions was not permitted.
