ABIGAIL WlCKHAM: Good evening, my name is Abigail Wickham for J and C Holdings and 1 thank the Board for interrupting its important agenda to consider this, which is also an important pan of your open space. I would like the Town Clerk to incorporate my comments from the public record on the moratorium into this hearing so I don't have to repeat them and I would like to just emphasize that this ts a concerted effort of two properties, the property under consideration at this hearing and what ~ presume will be the next heating. The contracts will specifically provide that the Town does not have to buy one parcel, if they cannot for some reason buy both nor will the purchaser be required to sell one if the Town deci'des not to buy the other. They are completely contingent and the limited subdivision component of the larger piece is also part of the contract. Everything will have to be in place before the Town closes, so I ask that you approve this resolution. Thank yon.
