An open
house was held on Jan. 24th and an info session on Feb. 4th. The Sharon Advocate ran a front page article
on the affordable lottery. Applications
are due by March 12th and the lottery will be held on March 25th. While checking with town counsel on Chapter
30B disposition of real estate, J. Desberg was informed that another town vote
is necessary (M.G.L. 40 section 3) to sell the house. Fortunately, this will not delay the
lottery. The closing will be held after
the May town meeting.
Susan
Saunders asked that this topic be revisited.
Jane Desberg informed the group that S. Saunders has spoken with Mr.
Chitvanni and Peter O’Cain about the
SHP’s decision not to pursue development on the site. Mr. Chitvanni said the engineering study he
had done supports the possibility of building two houses at the
Community
Preservation Act (CPA) Application
Mary Tobin
did a tremendous job on the CPA grant application. Thank you to Mary for doing the research and
writing the grant. After reviewing the
application a vote was taken. L.
Modestino moved to approve the CPA grant application and submit it to the Community
Preservation Committee. A. Lury second
the motion and it passed 3-0.
No
news. J. Desberg will follow up with
Attorney Bob Shelmerdine.
Bella
Estate’s Clubhouse
Michael
Intoccia has offered the club house located at the now defunct Hunter’s Ridge
to be converted into affordable housing.
There will be many issues to consider, but the first step is for the SHP
to visit the site. J. Desberg will
contact Mr. Intoccia and Mr. Shelmerdine to schedule a visit. Peter O’Cain provided a copy of the Zoning
By-Law 4210 - Dwelling Conversion.
