391 Selectmen's Meeting January 7, 1974 Chairman Kenney read a letter from the League of Women Voters re- questing an,explanation for executive session at the time that it begins and the public meeting is ended, in accordance with the Massa- LWV chusetts Open Meeting Laws. The Board agreed to inform the League of Women Voters that the Board has always done this and shall continue the practice of•publicly announcing in the open meeting the general subjects and the reasons why they are discussed in executive session. Chairman Kenney read an application from Attorney Leonard 1. Singer, Boston, for a transfer of a Lodging House license from Virginia Coleman- Wild Acre Wild Acre Inn, Inc. of 50 Percy Road to Dr. Bernard Yudowitz-Lexington Inn Wild Acre Inn, Inc. A,report from the Building Inspector was read stating this build- ing has; been used for years as a boarding house, inn, or lodging house as a non -conforming use. The Department's prior visits to the premises has been in .connection with State requirements and some bathroom alter- ations. I was surprised at the number of people that were around in bathrobes although seemingly able-bodied. My understanding is that the property is to be sold, and I feel that any issuance of a license, if applied for, should be explicitly spelled out as to'the proposed use. Mrs. Riffin: It is like a halfway house. Mr. Buse: If the scope of the original operation has changed, it becomes a matter for the Board of Appeals. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to refer the Wild Acre Inn application to Town Counsel for investigation. Mr. Brown informed the Board that Peter Chaipin, Engineer, has been our representative at meetings on transportation. On January 3, Mr. Chaipin was present at a meeting in the Executive Office of Transport- ation and Construction and reports - 1. The Mass D.P.W. is currently negotiating a contract with an engineering consultant to prepare an environmental impact Transporta- statement, basic design, and final design to include the tion following projects: a.
