DOCUMENT(S): Article 6.2.7 Findings Required in order to grant a Special Permit SUMMARY: Mr. Smith came to the Commission to find a home for older structures if possible when the owners are not interested in saving them. Mr. Smith more recently came across this section when submitting a request for proposal for the Hosmer house. Mr. Smith and Mr. Thenen identified two parcels for the Hosmer house, 3 Harrington Road and 15 Clarke Street. In discussions with Town Counsel and the Planning and Zoning Department regarding special permitting section 6.2.7, they believe that this section does not allow structures to be moved to lots other than the site on which it was originally constructed. Mr. Smith would like to change the writing of this and bring it to Town Meeting. HC COMMENTS: The Commission suggested Mr. Smith and Mr. Thenen go to Town Counsel to discuss the language and talk to Planning Board and then come back to the Commission. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None AGENDA ITEM #4 (7:34PM) Updates on Inventory Project -Ms. Bennett said November 18'h and 19'h are the preliminary dates for visits to the houses on the list so that Neil Larson can confirm whether there is enough historic fabric that remains to be studied and assessed.
