The two parcels of land are described as follows: Parcel 1 is commonly known and numbered as 12-18 Hartwell Avenue. It is shown on the Town Assessors Map 84, Parcel 70C, and is a 5 acre±parcel located on the southerly side of Hartwell Avenue. It is owned by JOSCO Realty Trust, under a Declaration of Trust, recorded with the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds in Book 21100, Page 337. The parcel currently is located entirely within the CRO Zoning District. Parcel 2 is commonly known and numbered as 24 Hartwell Avenue. It is shown on the Town Assessors Map 84, Parcel 70E, and is a 6.5 acre±parcel located on the southerly side of Hartwell Avenue. It is owned by Mico Realty Trust, under a Declaration of Trust, recorded at the Middle South District Registry of Deeds in Book 13600, Page 271. The parcel currently is located partially within the CM Zoning District and partially within the CRO Zoning District. (Submitted by the JOSCO Realty Trust and Mico Realty Trust, the Property Owners) DESCRIPTION: Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 have their entire legal frontage on and are located entirely on Hartwell Avenue.

ARTICLE 4 APPROPRIATE FOR CLARKE SCHOOL SPRINKLER SYSTEM To see if the Town will vote to appropriate a sum of money to make improvements to the sprinkler system in the Clarke Middle School; determine whether the money shall be provided by transfer from available funds, by borrowing, or by any combination of these methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) FUNDS REQUESTED: $85,000 DESCRIPTION: In the process of renovating the heating system at the Clarke School in 2008, Fire Department staff observed that the previous replacement of ceiling-mounted univents from 2000 were obstructing the sprinkler system spray pattern at various locations in the building. It has been determined that this configuration of sprinkler heads does not meet code, including the code requirements for the new univents. Sprinkler coverage needs to be increased to reach beyond the univents. Adding and/or relocating sprinkler heads will accomplish this requirement. ARTICLE 5 MUNROE SCHOOL DISPOSITION To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Selectmen to sell or lease the Munroe School building and the land it is situated on to a buyer or lessee approved by the Selectmen; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) DESCRIPTION: This article addresses the sale or lease of the Munroe School.
