\[executive session\]
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The LPC members entered into
Land Preservation Coordinator Melissa Spiro reviewed pending purchase offers extended to Mill Lane
One, LLC and landowners request for extension of time to response to Town’s offer. After a careful
and lengthy deliberation, LPC made the following motions.
END OF EXECUTIVE SESSION
MOTION
made by Will Lee, seconded by Lillian Ball, (1) to deny the request of the landowner, Mill
Lane One, LLC, to increase the amount of the alternate purchase offer presented to landowner on
February 8, 2017. Both the original offer outlined in the July 14, 2016 purchase offer letter and the
alternate purchase offer letter of February 8, 2017 are to remain in effect; (2) that the LPC does not
support the request of the landowner to change the concept plan to include an area by CR 48 for a
farm stand; and (3) that the LPC would support a design change involving a small increase
(maximum 1 acre) of the proposed 2± acre Reserve Area that would result in a maximum of a 3-acre
Reserve Area and a decrease in the size of the area being offered for the development rights
easement. The extended per acre purchase price, and the extended per acre alternate purchase
price, and all conditions associated with each purchase offer would remain the same. The only
change would be allowing the size of the Reserve Area to increase from 2± acres to a maximum of 3
acres.
Motion carried: 5/0
MOTION
made by Anne Murray, seconded by Will Lee, to grant an extension until April 30, 2017 to
