Minutes for February 9 , 2005
Present : Marshall Derby, Dave Eagle , Cathy Abbott ,
Bill Hays and Martha Wood
The minutes were approved with one change : the sentence
following North Street should read "Lexhab is waiting
for a letter from Town Counsel , following which we will
go to the selectmen . "
There was no Treasurer ' s report .
Rangeway --- Updated financial statements for the
project were presented. Dave reported that framing is
moving well and that the road work will probably be
done this Spring .
Johnson Farm -- It was noted that the cellar hole for
the Lexhab unit has not been dug; the builder seems to
be running behind schedule .
Sedge Road -- Our tenant will do her best to keep the
outside drain clean.
North Street -- Marshall reported that in Palmer Dodge ' s
opinion, the front lot having been aquired from the
Commonwealth can be used for any approved municipal use of
which housing is one . The rear lot having been purchased
for recreational use cannot be used otherwise without an
act of the Great and General Court and approval by the
Selectmen. Marshall also stated that the Conservation
Commission plans tViktilift the front lot into conserva-
tion. Marshall will discuss this turn of events with the
Planning Board and later with the Selectmen; in the
meantime , he will call Bob Bicknell and bring him up to
date .
Next Meeting: March 9th at 7 pm.
It was then voted, each member separately registering
his or her vote , unanimously to go into Executive Session
to discuss purchase of land .
Respectfully submitted:

Executive Session
February 9, 2005
Present : Marshall Derby, Dave Eagle, Cathy Abbott, Bill Hays and
Martha Wood
Marshall discussed the so-called offer to purchase which
Lynn Pease of the Franklin School group said had been extended
some time ago and which the Town had not responded to.
Marshall said that he checked and it seems very clear that
no offer of any kind ever came from Community Builders. None-
the-less, the Selectmen decided to accept whatever Community
Builders may have thought it was offering to do by way of sale
and have reserved a place on the warrant for same should
Community Builders agree to sell .
It was the consensus that there is nothing for LexHAB to do
at the present time.
