Charge - Draft Charge to the committee to be formed for the study of financing
Cons. Pur- of Conservation purchases and the acquisition of the Pine Meadows Golf Course,
chases/Pine prepared by Mr. Marshall, was reviewed. The draft was presented, as revised
Meadows, etc. by Mr. Eddison.
Adv.Comm. With regard to the proposed name of the committee, which will consider
both alternative sources of funding of the Pine Meadows acquisition as well
as financing of other future Conservation purchases, Mr. Sacco noted that
the name proposed did not include reference to Pine Meadows and suggested
that it be changed to do so.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the Charge
to the "Selectmen's Advisory Committee on Financing of the Purchase of Con-
servation Land and the Acquisition of the Pine Meadows Golf Course and
Adjacent Land," as follows:
This Committee is being formed for two related purposes.

the Selectmen concerning the acquisition of the Pine Meadows Golf Course
and the potential development of thesurrounding town owned land. The
Committee shall be composed of not more than eleven citizens and shall
report to the Board of Selectmen as soon as it has recommendations.
The Committee should consider the area surrounding the Pine Meadows
Golf Course and determine the appropriate use of all the town land in
that area. This review should address recreational and conservation uses
for the land, potential for market rate housing and below market rate
housing including rental units to be owned by the Town, street capacity
and traffic flows, and general impact on the neighborhood.
2. The second purpose of the Committee is to study alternative sources
for financing this purchase and other future conservation land purchases.
