Snow as Executive Clerk of the Board of Selectmen for a term of office to expire on May 31, 19840 Landfill Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to allow temporary opening opening of the Hartwell. Avenue Sanitary Landfill from April 4 to April 15, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for the purpose of disposal by residents of brush resultant from tree damage during the March 28th snow storm. Potter Pond Mr. Hutchinson reviewed negotiations with Developers Boyd and Smith regarding condominium units at Potter Pond committed for use as low/moder- ate income housing, and two alternatives to their agreement with the Town, as outlined in a draft memo from him to the Board, dated 3/28/84. He recom- mended Planning Board review of any change in procedures contemplated. Option one would allow for sale by the developer of the 10 units at market price and return to the Town of the difference between the agreed - upon price to the Town and the actual sales price. After deduction of 10% carrying costs, this would result in $700,000 to be reserved for low /moder- ate income housing purposes elesewhere in Town and to be assigned to LexHAB or -the Housing Authority. Op tion two would provide for sale at market price by the developer of a portion of the'10 units, with monies realized over the fixed price to the Town, used by the Town to purchase some of the remaining units. The develop - ers indicated that they would not be adverse to this as long as they were the non- profit agency that administered management of these units. Motion was made and seconded to support the Town Manager's recommenation that option one be approved. The motion did not carry. Following discussion of various aspects of the options, Mr. McLaughlin proposed going forward with negotiation with the developers based on a Now draft motion under Article 10 to amend the 1979 agreement with Potter Pond to permit the Town to transfer its rights to purchase one or more of the units to the Developer in return for compensation approved by the Town Mana- ger and the Board of'Selectmen. Mr. Hutchinson asked for a sense of direction from the Board , as to the concepts presented in the options. • It was agreed that decision would be deferred pending further explora- tion of other alternative procedures by Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Marshall and the Town Manager. Article 13 Mr, Tonaszuck, Director of Public Works /Engineering, reviewed with the Board details of a proposal under Article 13 for improved sight distances at intersections. The proposal would provide a way to enforce removal of visual obstructions that materially impede traffic safety. There would be no Town -wide action to remove all shrubbery at intersections, but would involve a judgmental process on a case -by -case basis. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to support Article 13. March 28 Mr. Hutchinson noted a memo prepared by him at the request of Selectman snowstorm Marshall with respect of the March 28 storm activities and related perform- ance o f Town employees . Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to acknowledge the out- - standing performance of Town employees during and after the March 28th snow storm and to request the Town Manager to express to them the appreciation of the Board. now
