Community Preservation Committee meeting about to start at 7 #cpc1004 agenda doc and connection info here franklinma.gov/community-pres…
Motion to approve prior mins seconded, passes 8-0 #cpc1004
Presentation not on Town page, will be before the Council meeting Weds. Hence screen grabs of slides as they are shared
Change of use itself doesn't trigger the 120 day period, it does trigger the appraisal process in this case #cpc1004
More slides #cpc1004
This farm has been a good item on the open space plan #cpc1004
More slides #cpc1004
More slides #cpc1004
The CPA funding available would use about 40% combining this and Maple Hill leaving us some flexibility to use the remaining funds for other projects #cpc1004
Multiple folks speaking for the use of the right of first refusal to obtain this parcel, the stream running thru this does limit development but it could still be 16 or so houses #cpc1004 and who knows what could be done to work around the steam and add more
This is what was in mind when the CPA funds were voted for, #cpc1004 uses on the slide proposed are for discussion purposes and not final, should be made as part of the overall open space plan to be redone next year
Motion to approve use of CPA funds for purchase to Town Council #cpc1004 seconded, passes 8-0
Motion to add $50k for the Red Brick renovation #cpc1004 second passes 8-0
Nason st work being held off for now, inflation a factor, cupola work to be ready for spring time, King St Memorial park planning work possible public hearing for neighbors for new courts and refreshment stand #cpc1004 in Oct/Nov
Nov 1 better for next CPC meeting
Motion to adjourn, passes 8-0
#cpc1004
That's all for tonight, catch you next time!
