Other Business
a. Approval of Minutes 12.9.2014, 2.10.15 and Notes of Special Meeting 1.13.15.
b. The History House Reserve (HHR) Sub-Committee met with Architect Duxbury
and Landscape Architect Klope, who worked together on the Town Hall
project, on 3.6.15. They considered the site as a whole. The new building
would be placed parallel with the northern hedge, its roof shape to conform
with that of the Town Hall, the AT&T “tree” moved to a corner, solar panels
situated on the new roof and the barn/shed removed. Parking would be
provided between the hedge and the new building. This whole scale
revamping of the area met with universal approval from those present, with
only Susan Mandle wondering about the cost.
At the HHR Sub-Committee meeting on 3.9.15. it was agreed that Chair
Crites would present in writing the Duxbury/Klope ideas to Carl Cahill for
the Town’s consideration. The task of the Sub-committee would then be
considered achieved.
It was suggested that, at the upcoming meeting of the Parks &
Rec.Committee (which Chair Crites would attend), emphasis should be
placed on a town-wide survey of how the residents themselves would like
this land to be used.
c. On the morning of 3.6.15. the positioning of the Old Town Hall Cupola in front of
Council Chambers was officially recognized and pictures taken of those
who had worked so hard to save, restore and install this relic of the
previous building.
Adjournment. Meeting adjourned at 6:45PM
