37 Fruit Street Appeal
Mr. Warren moved that the Board of Appeals vote to convene in Executive Session for the purpose of
discussing strategy with respect to litigation for the 37 Fruit Street appeal, because an open meeting may
have detrimental effect on the litigation position of the Board and to allow Town staff; Adina Wright and
Town Counsel: Raymond Miyares and Christopher Heep to participate. The motion was seconded and
the votes were:
Mr. Warren: Yes
Mr. Peirce: Yes
Ms. Rose: Yes
Ms. Clark: Yes
Ms. Knight: Yes
The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Warren stated the open session will reconvene following the Executive Session.
8:00 PM Reconvene in Open Session
Mr. Warren read the May 10, 2013 letter from Beveridge & Diamond regarding E.L. Harvey & Sons. He
stated Mass DEP has modified the monitoring plan. He stated one of the changes will be that they are
going to change the sampling from semi-annually to annually. Mr. Peirce asked if the Board can rely on
DEP's word or do we want someone to peer review DEP. The Board discussed this matter.
Mr. Peirce moved to respond to this letter and let them know the Board wants to have a peer review done
and use money in the 53G account. The motion was seconded by Ms. Rose and passed unanimously.
Documents Used:
May 10, 2013 letter from Beveridge & Diamond
