The parcel of land totals 5.09 acres and has two existing structures on the property, a single family home with a barn attached. Mr. Hamilton informed the CPC of ownership of the parcel. Mr. Hamilton explained that the owner is in very frail health and lives in the house with 24-hour nursing care. The heirs to the property are the nieces of the owner and will inherit the property upon her passing. The Conservation Commission has been in contact with LexHAB to determine if the structures on the property are suitable for housing. Mr. Savage from LexHAB expressed interest in both structures suggesting that the barn and the home could be converted into two units creating a total of four residential units. 1
