Selectmen Eddi son, Marshall, Dailey, Smith and McSweeney, Town Manager Hutchinson, Chairman Eddi son opened the meeting stating that the purpose of this meeting was to review the proposed Condominium Conversion By -Law submitted by petition to be considered by the Town Meeting. The meeting would address: 1. Clarification of sections of the proposed by -law. 2. Condominium conversion and eviction procedures, and 3. Legal aspects of the proposed by -law. Al Zabi n, Town Meeting Member from Precinct 1 was recognized by Mr. Eddi son to review the proposed by -law. He noted that the preamble addressed the concern of laws of rental housing with particular emphasis on Emerson Gardens but also application to remaining rental complexes within the Town (Minuteman Vi 1 l age, Battl egreen Apartments and Captain Parker Arms) . Bill Hays, Chairman of LexHAB , questioned whether all residents would not be eligible for benefits under the proposed condo by -law no matter what their economic circumstance and said that that should be clarified. CONDO CONVERSION PROCESS Mr. Zabi n then addressed the process for conversion which would requ i re a - license and a condominium conversion board to be appointed by the Board of _ Sel-ectmen. Considerable discussion took place by Board members, the audience, relating to the provisions for the granting of a license for condominium conversion. Particular concern was raised about what was an - appropriate definition for low and moderate income people, single parent households, fixed incomes and the like. The consensus was definitive economic guidelines for income should be submitted identifying these protected groups. Question was raised by the Board about the passage of this by -law and its legality as the property had already been sold. Mr. Zabi n and Mr. Becker, representing the tenants at Emerson Gardens, noted that this was a change of use of the property from rental to ownership and that it was appropriate to take protective measures for the tenants. Counsel for the new owners of Emerson Gardens pointed out that his clients would have to exercise appropriate legal action if necessary to protect their interests if they are to be compromised by this proposed by-law* Questions were raised by the Board about the requirement that ten to twenty percent of the units be set aside for low and moderate income by the Condo Association. It was agreed that if the town through one of its agencies or a non - profit agency wanted to acquire units for this purpose, that was appropriate but not the requirement that the Condo Association be required to keep ten to twenty percent available for low and moderate income. The legality of t h i s provision was also questioned and Mr. Zabi n said that he would look at this for redrafting, 1 BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING .2. May 6, 1987 The makeup of the Condo Conversion Board was questioned stating that it might be Maw ap propriate to have some criterion established for membership as well as consideration of appointment from existi Town agencies . The general consensus of the Board and proponents of the by -law was that this would be something that could be looked at for revision. Mr. Zabi n said he would look at this for revision. EV ICTION PROCESS r It was agreed after considerable discussion that more definitive guidelines should be prepared for guidance to the proposed condo conversion board relating to eviction. The establishment of economic criterion (income guidelines) for protective groups was one of these suggestions. Again, it was recognized that requiring ten to twenty percent low and moderate income units of the Condo Association had certain legal questions. It was noted that provisions were made in the by that if one section were declared invalid, the rest of the by-law would remain legal. Mr. Zabi n stated that he would go back and work on a revision of the proposed by -law consistent with the Board's concerns of: 1. Makeup of the Condo Conversion Board. 2. Income guidelines for protected classes referenced in the proposed. by -law, and 3. Provi s i ons relating to the ten to twenty percent low and moderate income requirement. _ Selectmen Daile y and McSweeney expressed reservations about their support for any by-law that ex post facto required this provision on new owners. Board members Eddi son , Marshall and Smith s a i d they would consider this provision if appropriate public and non - profit agencies had the capacity to acquire the units and meet that goal without requiring the new condo association to do so. Mr. Zabi n said he .would have a revised draft for Town Meeting by Friday so that this could be considered on the eleventh. The meeting adjourned at 10: 40 P . M.

The motion to he presented to the Special Town Meeting that evening, with a revision to Section 4. a (1), was discussed. Mr. Eddison said he felt that three Selectmen would support the proposed by -law as revised and that two would object to at least one part of it. Terms as set forth under Scope of Conditions (Sec. 3. c 46y) relative to units to be offered to the Housing Authority, were clarified by Mr. Cohen and discussed by the Board. Mr. Marshall outlined possible financial procedures which could be followed in acquisition of the units. He felt, however that financing would be difficult to accomplish and could possibly result in no units to the Town, but said he was willing to support the concept. Mr. Dailey voiced support of the Section dealing with enlargement of the protected group but had - trouble with the "10% to 20V requirement in the Scope of Conditions, as stated in Section 8. Mr. McSweeney -felt the housing options to be explored and developed by the Planning Board, LexHAB and the Housing Authority in the coming year plus encouragement of accessory apartments would give the needed relief to tenants of Emerson Gardens and would vote against that section of the by -law. F v �^ 6, -2- Mr. Marshall moved that th Board g ive its overall support to th By --Law as drafted, and that one Selectman be authorized to speak on behalf of the Board. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Smith. She noted that even with all the hous initiative being pursued it would not be possible to accommodate all those in need of housing in that way. Mr. Dailey noted efforts being made to assist Emerson Gardens tenants and said he would support the section of the by -law which would directly help them. He foresaw a repeat of the Emerson Gardens experience in a few years, with no more ways to assist the same needs as the Emerson Gardens tenants have now and with no additional market rate apartments in Town. He felt that the Town Meeting would have to approve high density developments in order to accommodate, but saw no real Town Meeting support for such rezonings. Mr. Marshall suggested that - - a s a goal of the Board, the-Selectmen should act ively work with the Planning Board to get market rate rentals in Town. He agreed with Mr. Dailey about Town Meeting reluctance to accept high density residential developments. Mr. Marshall suggested that since at least two areas appeared to be controversial, the Board might want to vote on the Sections separately instead of voting on the whole Articles He withdrew his original motion. He moved that the Board support the concept in Section 4, expanding the class of people who could have extra protection L,y allowing additional time. The motion was seconded and it -as unanimously voted to support Section 4. Mr. Marshall moved and Mrs. Smith seconded the motion,_that the Board support Section 3 as drafted, which contains the Further - Regulation of Conversions. It was voted 1 to 2, with Mr. Dailey and Mr. McSweeney voting in the negative, to support Section 3, Further Regulation of Conversions. Mr. Marshall proposed that members individually present their views on other aspects of the by -law. He agreed to present the position of the Board on Section 3 and Section 4 and will state that the Board voted 3 - 2 in support of Section 3. TOWN MANAGER SEARCH COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS The Chairman noted that the next step in the Town Manager Search process, would be the appointment of a search committee.
