1 � 4 - Mu zey The Board discussed reports from the Planning Board, Council on Aging, School. Planning Board, Human Services C ommittee, Housing Authority and the Council for the Arts requested by the Board regarding the. future use o Muzzey Ju- nior High School. The Manager addressed the Board relative to the timetable that had been set up and suggested that, after talking with the Chairman today, any comments be received from the Board . at this time or subs quest to meeting with the ad hoc group in order to e a report bac. k according the schedule. Mr. Bus.a suggested that the ad hoc committee be b as reports from the committee's have been received and appoint a member of the neighbor- hood, the Town Manager -. (o r designee) Mr. . George Harris 'of the Human Services Committee and the .Planning Board to review the reports. Ir. Crain and Mrs. . Battin felt that this ad hoc committee should not be by -passed and it would be fruitful-to have dialogue with and between the committees that had submitted reports. Mr. Politi felt that the Board would be placing a great deal of con- fid in the ad hoc committee in terms of evaluating the proposals and developing a charge to the Muzzey School C onversion Committee, but felt that different groups interested in use of the school should not be sitting on a committee developing a charge for the Board of Selectmen and come up Frith a compromise charge among the various groups that are interested in the use of the 'school. He felt that a member of the Planning Board and the Hyman Services Committee would be acceptable because-they are not inter- ested in using the building but are representing the Board of Selectmen. He suggested that an objective tive review of the recommendations that come in by having a representative of an agency that wants use the building present at meetings being given the opportunity to answer questions and further elaborate upon its report. r..r The Board agreed to this suggestion and a. committee will be formed comprising of the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Representative of the TM A, Town Manager or designee), member of the neighborhood, hair - man of the Planning Board (or designee) Chairman of Human Services Com- mittee r designee and Mr. Don Giller of the neighborhood to review the reports and draw rip. a charge for the Muzzey School Conversion Com- mittee. The I u zey Conversion Committee will be appointed on September 13 at the regular meeting. Mr. Politi stated that as there is a strong possibility that a hou ing reuse could be a priority for Muzzey, he would like Town Counsel to research for - possible mechanisms for insuring that any resale of units be limited housing that is developed on the site of the school will b moderate housing, not only for the initial purchasers, but ' for subsequent purchasers as well. He suggested that a cooperative development rather than condominium ownership might be the answer. Sewer Cont.
