Chairman Yarmo brought the meeting to order at 7:35
Chairman Yarmo thanked members of the Costa family who were
in the audience for the opportunity to purchase approximately 36 ½ acres of
land by the Conservation Commission.
The Presentation was made by member Paul Gagnon who
states that all parties have signed a Purchase & Sales Agreement for
$335,000.00. This piece of land has
207’ of frontage on Dutton Road across from the Little Island Pond
Conservation area. There are other
town owned properties nearby including one just to the west of this parcel, one
near Blueberry Circle, the “Coffee Lots”, and Moose Pond which together form
a wildlife corridor. West
Environmental Services furnished their findings, in which they noted that the
Costa parcel includes 28% wetlands and 72% uplands.
It is a forested area with mixed timber.
Ducette Survey Company did a title search and will locate or place
monumentation at the boundaries. If this parcel were to be developed it could
support between 12 to 14 homes. Mr.
Gagnon went on to say that this parcel meets all the criteria on the
Conservation’s checklist. This
would be the 3rd parcel of land acquired by the Conservation
Commission in 2004. A site walk was
done in 2002 said Mr. Gagnon.
