Executive Session Community Preservation Committee Monday, January 12, 2009 Legion Room, Cary Memorial Building 1605 Massachusetts Avenue 5:25 pm Present: Committee Members: Betsey Weiss, Chair; Marilyn Fenollosa, Vice Chair; Joel Adler, Norman Cohen, Wendy Manz, Sandy Shaw and Dick Wolk. Administrative Asst: Nathalie Rice At 5:25 pm, upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted by a roll call to enter into Executive Session under Exemption 6 to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property and to reconvene in Open Session; the Chair declaring that an Open Meeting might have a detrimental effect on the negotiating position of the Town. 1. Leary Property - Mr. Wolk reported to the Committee that the Conservation Commission had received a plan from the land planner showing five lots on the Leary property. The plan had been sent to the appraiser, with a complete appraisal expected by the end of the week. 2.Busa Property - Mr. Wolk also updated the Committee on the progress of negotiations for the Busa Property, for which the Town has the right of first refusal. He said there were eleven lots on the By-Right plan, and added that there had been some discussion within the Conservation Commission’s Land Planning Committee of a mixed use plan including affordable housing. Since the Busa home is an historic house, Ms. Fenollosa mentioned that a 12-month delay would be required before the house could be demolished. Ms. Weiss added that she was aware that Town Manager, Carl Valente, hoped to put together a committee to study the best options for the property. After a duly conducted roll call vote, the Committee voted to return to Open Session at 5:37 pm. Respectfully submitted, Nathalie Rice Administrative Assistant Community Preservation Committee 1
