Part: 1

1
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:27.439
I'm going to call the meeting of the Littleton Conservation Little Historical Commission to order. Um the first thing we should do is because it's the new fiscal year, we need to

2
00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:44.480
elect new officers. So that would be the chair, the vice chair, the secretary, and the CPC representative. Do I have a nomination for chair? More than one person could be nominated to do that. >> I nominate Linda Stein for chair of the

3
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:59.840
Wills and Commission. >> We second that. >> All in favor? >> I. Any other nominations for chair? >> You're the best we've ever had. >> You are the best we've ever had. I could not I could not agree more.

4
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:15.680
>> I mean, really, you deserve a big over and above for Judy. >> Well, thank you. It's partially due to retirement, but now I'm working again part time. >> What? >> I know. Someone talked me into coming back to work for them anyway. Okay.

5
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:33.040
Well, okay. I accept the nomination for chair of the Wilton Historical Commission. Um, do we have a nomination for vice chair? >> I nominate Andrew W. >> I second that. >> All in favor?

6
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:49.680
>> I. >> Can you vote for yourself? I don't know. >> Any any other nominations? >> Andrew, do you accept? >> I do. >> Yes. Good. and nomination for secretary. >> I nominate Rachel.

7
00:01:49.680 --> 00:02:05.439
>> I don't think she do one. >> Am I Am I still >> No, I think Chris has been doing a great job. >> Yeah, Chris. It should be Chris. >> Who wants to make the nomination? >> I nominate Chris. >> Do I have a second? >> Yes, I second that. >> All in favor?

8
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:19.760
>> I >> I. Any other nominations? >> Okay, Chris, do you accept? >> I accept. >> Good. So smooth. >> That went well. And the last one is CPC representative. We have to vote on that

9
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:36.319
otherwise they can't vote at >> I make a motion that uh we continue with Linda Stein and her strong duty to the CBC. Um and it be continued. >> Do I have a second? >> I second. >> All in favor?

10
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:52.560
>> I Any other nominations? Okay, I accept. Good. That was quick. Let's go home. >> That was really the main thing we needed to do. We also had I sent out minutes today. I'm sorry I sent them so late. >> Oh, that's I'm sorry.

11
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:07.680
>> Yeah. Um if we could look at them if you could look at them now, we could review them and hopefully maybe approve them. >> Where's Jonathan? >> He's retired. >> He didn't renew his membership on the

12
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:23.280
commission. Why? >> He's 83 and it's time to retire. That's what he said. >> Very sad. >> Well, that's >> Huh. >> That's awful.

13
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:44.239
>> It is awful. I agree. Well, I do feel that we should go to the light board or potentially uh have an off hours uh random meeting gathering for both John and Jonathan at some future date.

14
00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:59.680
>> Yes, definitely. Speaking along those lines, I think we should add Jonathan to the award award ceremony. Yes. Right. Right. Yeah. So, John, Jonathan,

15
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:16.720
we're up to four now. John, Jonathan, >> and Right. >> Which you know, it will be better if we have kind of more than the thing. >> I I agree. Yeah. Sorry. I'm trying to find the >> I wonder if we should make

16
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:34.240
Never mind. I was gonna say we we should make certificates and then we'll frame them with wood from the long store, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be in bigger with that. >> That's not >> No. >> Um John Lanche had the keys.

17
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:51.280
>> I have I have a copy of the keys, but I'm not sure that they're still going to work. I I drove by. I didn't go in. Uh I I we have we have to go in and find it. >> Yeah. Well, let me borrow the keys. I'll go in. >> Okay, deal. Would you like me to drop

18
00:04:51.280 --> 00:05:07.759
him off? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Maybe we'll go together. >> It's a good idea. >> Yeah. >> I don't want her to fall down. >> But has anybody ever retired from the commission and then come back?

19
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:30.919
>> Yes, John Ledger did, didn't he? >> I don't know. Oh, >> he left. Yeah, he certainly left and came back. He left and came back. Don't get any ideas. >> I said don't get any ideas. >> Oh, no. Don't worry. You stuck with me.

20
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:49.440
>> Oh, June. Right. Okay. >> You know what I learned how to do today? I learned how to change a tire. >> Good for you. >> I said I'm not going to be stuck like that again. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, are people reviewing the minutes? You already entered.

21
00:05:49.440 --> 00:06:24.160
>> Well, I'm short I'm short of a way to review the minutes. >> I have a computer instrument. >> There you go. I found the idea. >> Hey Alan, have you seen Andrew Samato lately?

22
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:41.600
>> Um, well, maybe in the last months. Yeah. I was wondering how it was. I got the strangest message from Jean Bracken. >> Oh, I don't know. She didn't make names, but alluded to the fact that some kind

23
00:06:41.600 --> 00:07:54.479
of accident happened. >> You know, we're being recorded. Just reminding you. Oh, it because I wasn't here so I really can't >> Oh, you probably weren't here after all that. >> Sorry. >> No, that looks like it was an incred

24
00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:10.000
incredible meeting. It really wow, right? I mean, two presentations, several motions, historical preservation award. Like, wow. >> We missed you.

25
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:29.039
>> So, for those who of us who were here, any any edits, any changes to the >> Nothing. >> Nothing's jumping out at me. >> I agree with all the red lines. Yeah, Elizabeth. Everything.

26
00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:45.600
>> All right. Do I have a motion then to approve the minutes? Do I have a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. >> I was going to say I should abstain. >> Right. Yes.

27
00:08:45.600 --> 00:09:07.440
>> For the minutes for this pop up. >> Okay. So really the only super active or not so super active project at the moment is the historic markers and that's been in my it's been taking an inordinate amount time to get this

28
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:24.720
going and finished. Um, what happened was there was a gap I think I'm I think it was my fault. There was a gap in communication between the time that we got approval from the CPC for funding

29
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:40.800
for all seven new markers and communicating that to the DPW. The DPW had gone ahead and put the new plaques on three of the old concrete markers.

30
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:59.120
I don't feel like I want to ask them to take off the plaques and have the new granite ones installed and put the I I just disagree with they don't look too bad. I sent some of you one of them and it didn't look too

31
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:14.720
bad, right? All right. So, I think we'll leave those three. Won't order new ones for those. Um, I forget what happened. So, that's three. Then we're going to discuss two more. So, I don't know where the last

32
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:31.600
two disappear to, but we'll have to Well, we'll talk about it. But anyway, so that's three. The fourth one is Warren's Grist Mill, which is Parley Lumber. Um, as I let some of you know because I let Chris and Andrew know

33
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:47.519
because you've been working with me on this project. Um, the conservation commission said we could put new markers with the new plaques on the conservation land next to Harley lumber site, which we all thought

34
00:10:47.519 --> 00:11:02.880
was a good idea if I recall. And so I met Tim uh the um let's see whatever he is it's not he's the agent conservation agent. Tim I met him there and we looked over the

35
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:18.720
site. I think I sent you guys these two pictures. Um do you have the pictures I sent? >> I brought um the view up on the screen. >> Can you blow it up a little or no? Oh, that's the street view. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. I'd have to send mine. All right. So, this is, you know, this is a

36
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:34.000
little further away, but that's okay. If you can see the gran, there's a long granite marker laying down. >> Yeah. Is that a marker or just a rock? >> I think it's a granite slab. Oh, concrete. I'm guessing it's concrete. It could Did you Anyone go look at it? Probably not. No.

37
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:49.120
>> All right. So, it's probably concrete. It could be granite. I think it's concrete. It's about 10 ft long. So, Tim said, "You guys want this?" And if you can use it, you can have it. We don't we're not using it. So the

38
00:11:49.120 --> 00:12:04.959
question is, do we do we want to ask DPW if they can cut it to whatever dimensions we want and use it instead of us ordering a new granite slab? >> I'll I'll I'll take this one. I'd say

39
00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:21.760
no. I say we order a new granite slab. >> Okay. only because uh you know typically um it's about having the right tools and I think if we ordered a piece of granite from a granite foundry they have the right tools so you'll get a nice flat

40
00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:39.200
polished edge which I mean maybe our DPW has granite cutting equipment I don't know but I would just suspect that um maybe we could put our granite on top of that granite if it's super flat make it like a like a thing but I I would say Um, I'd

41
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:55.519
prefer to see it next to it. >> That's fine. >> Is that fine with everybody? >> Yeah. >> I The one thing I'd ask you, if you don't mind, Andrew, I'll give you the number of our new We have a new contact at Swenson >> and that's because he agreed to our new

42
00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:11.600
the town's payment plan or the first guy didn't. >> Yeah. Um, if you could talk to him, I don't I'll have to send it to you, but >> if you could call him and go over the specs for the granite slab because I'm a little unclear like it rough face versus

43
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:29.040
smooth face, you know, what's what do we want exactly? What did we order? Is is what we ordered what we really want? What's the best face for the plaque for the bronze plaque to go on? I don't really understand. Okay. All right. That'd be great.

44
00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:44.880
Um, okay. So, we'll go ahead and order once you have that information, we'll go ahead and order the new slab. >> Then, I'm I think we do need to order a new granite slab for the Nishop Pring

45
00:13:44.880 --> 00:14:01.279
Indian Town marker at Nishoba and New Town Roads. The reason being I asked the DPW, "How far down in the ground is it?" And they, you know, if it was two feet, right, we could maybe stay stay at that one, but it isn't. It's like they said it's like 3 to four to 5 in and that's

46
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:17.440
not stable enough. They thought it would fall down too. So, we'll go ahead and order new a new granite for that one. >> So, I think that is a really um prominent location. I wonder if we should reach out to the garden club to

47
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:33.519
ask if they want to make it like a thing because I think if we put it in deeper uh you're kind of right on that corner there and you could actually potentially do some land clearing and plantings and it would look really I think quite

48
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:49.440
attractive. >> Good idea. >> Is that town neighbor? >> I think it is. >> We could find out. I bet it is, but we should find out. I should find out. >> There is like a weird triangle where the house is kind of over on the side. So, I think that it's probably within the

49
00:14:49.440 --> 00:15:05.279
right away at least for the town. >> Well, yeah, I can check on that. >> Yeah, good. Um, so I could call up. Did anyone probably not. I could try to quickly call up what we're missing. There was two others we

50
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:44.000
were going to get and or three and I'm trying to remember what they were. Um, let's see. Well, we we know that we're not going to do we decided for not or never or not now to do the Porter Square one. We want to leave it where it is, but we talked

51
00:15:44.000 --> 00:16:03.360
about maybe moving it up further or something. >> Is that what people still want? Just leave the stone at the moment. Yeah, that's fine. >> All right. And then what other one was there? All right, I have it here. Um, so the

52
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:19.839
Lawrence Tavern is done. The DBW put the new bronze plaque on the old granite. >> Okay. >> And oh, did I tell I told some of you this, maybe I didn't. When I was at the Durable Brewing, um, Revolutionary War >> Oh, yeah.

53
00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:35.759
>> night. What was that? What was it called? The uh >> the trivia night. >> The trivia night. So, I was there and some guy, some guy, I don't know, came up to me and said, "Thank you. Thank you so much for putting up that new bronze plaque. It's

54
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:51.519
great. We love it. I love it. I'm so glad that you've done this." And he went on and on and on. >> Wonderful. >> And he said he used to take off the old plaque and try to clean it and put it back up. >> Which which one was >> Lawrence Lawrence Tavern on on um Crane

55
00:16:51.519 --> 00:17:06.880
Road. Oh, right. >> Which is, you know, out of the way, but >> I mean, it was so great. >> Appreciate it. >> So, that was good. So, that one's up. We just talked about Crane, Indian Town, Morris Grismo. We talked about West

56
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:22.160
Schoolhouse and East Schoolhouse. The DPW put up the new bronze plaques on the old concrete. I sent you one of those to show you. It didn't look fine. >> Yeah, it didn't look bad, right? So, but >> I think they did it on the best ones. So, I think that's okay.

57
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:38.080
>> Yeah, it just worked out that way. They had them left from last year and so they went ahead and put them up. >> Um, >> okay. >> Porter Road Bridge just talked about Oh, meeting house. We don't have to decide that one right now. We have the new plaque up on the old concrete. The old concrete at the meeting house one

58
00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:54.960
doesn't look great. But the more even more what bothers me even more is it faces, you know, no one's going to see it. It faces onto the right this little road that hardly anyone ever goes on. It's not even facing into the common which would be better at least it was. So

59
00:17:54.960 --> 00:18:10.799
we'll talk about that later I think. So my thought is let's just order the two the two concrete markers for national Indian and orange. Does that sound good? >> Does sounds really good. >> All right. You'll talk to them and then

60
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:26.160
we'll go ahead and order. >> Okay. Um, >> and what's our budget per one? I forgot. I know you wrote an excellent CPC application. >> Yeah, I don't know how much. >> I forget what it was for the total cost. >> Now, I don't know if they'll change

61
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:43.840
their No, I don't think they'll change their cost. Didn't you ask them? I think they said per unit they wouldn't change the cost, right? Okay. So, let's see. >> I can always go back. I didn't. >> This one was for how many? Let's see.

62
00:18:43.840 --> 00:19:04.559
Um, I have the total, but I don't remember how many we put in here. Let's see. It was seven. Let me just check. >> Six. >> Six. >> Oh, no. I have here six new ones as well as one refurbished one, but we're not

63
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:32.720
going to That was the Porter Road one, I think. So, it's I guess it's Thanks. gonna do with the refurbished one. Let me just figure that out. Hang on the new plaques and refurbished plaque.

64
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:56.679
Oh. Oh, right. So, we decided, right? Okay. So, I have to It's six or seven, which isn't helpful, but um I have to figure out how that refurbished one fit into the price here. >> Yeah. >> Um

65
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:14.480
but you have the per we have the per unit price on their in on their latest one. >> Yeah. Let's see. Okay. >> Did you find it? >> No, but I'll work with Chris.

66
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:29.440
>> All right. I think >> these other deliveries are being further, too. >> Right. Yes. >> Right. >> I'm just trying to see what the name of this is. I think I have it. Oh, yeah. This one is the right one. I think I

67
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:47.280
think Chris it's um and Andrew it's $762.13 per slab. >> Okay. >> And then there's a delivery drop. He said that would be less or no. The delivery would stay the same probably. You might want to ask them when you talk to

68
00:20:47.280 --> 00:21:03.600
>> if we only have two instead of seven. Is the delivery price still the same? I think he said yes >> it is. But you don't get like I don't get a money back for the u >> oh for the pallets. >> Pallets. Oh, that's not a big deal. So, delivery cost would be 355.

69
00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:18.960
Okay, >> got it. >> All right. Okay. Um >> Okay. >> For the Oh, then um so let's go back for

70
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:34.480
a minute. Oh, we didn't get to the next one. for the historic workers. Also, um, as we said in the minutes, the Girl Scouts got approval for their the project, so they're going to work. We'll work with them. That's great. And

71
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:52.320
Tracy want to work with them. That'll be that'll be great. Um, I think the scout leader said she'd get in touch with me. >> I don't know. Anyway, you will you or I do you have her email? I don't. >> All right. I'll send you her email and

72
00:21:52.320 --> 00:22:23.520
you can reach out to her. And then those are going to link to >> Yeah. Um, we talked to our designer and we can definitely do it through the website and we have a new hosting guy and also when you're ready to to link up we can get in touch with them.

73
00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:39.120
>> Is that website up already or is it >> um I don't know. It might be. Well, it's it's real close. >> Perfect. >> Is there a is it useful for the society to work with Chris while he's working

74
00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:55.520
earlier in the process is my question or not? I don't know. We talked to talked to the designer and told her what we wanted and I mean they can do anything on the website. Um >> I assume if I just get a link to the pages they want to link to if I can and

75
00:22:55.520 --> 00:23:16.720
then they can code that into the QR code and then it can just be >> Yeah, we haven't really talked to our behind the scenes guy yet. Actually, we have a meeting with them shortly. So I'll mention it again and then when we get closer we can link up. >> Okay. um the house signs program. Um Chris

76
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:32.880
signed a form which we believe allows him to make signs for the house signs program. Um >> awesome. >> But not vote on those things, right? Those items. Okay. So, now that Jonathan's gone, I think makes sense to

77
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:48.559
transfer the program to Chris. >> Yeah. >> If that's okay. >> Yeah. I I meant to reconnect with him. Uh, but he said, you know, if you if I wanted to come over, you could show me like how he does everything and then I could just sort of take it and run with it and then I'll whoever wants one, I

78
00:23:48.559 --> 00:24:03.919
guess I'll just bring to the commission and then you guys can vote on it or figure out wording that you want and then uh >> so there's one person who wants one at the moment. >> Yeah. I have to I still have to reach out to them >> and uh get the information from the doctor, but

79
00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:22.080
>> we'll start there. See how it goes. >> And then in terms of the um outreach, there's the the awards and well, we decided we wait till September, right, Rachel? That seems to make sense, >> right? Like over the summer that people aren't going to be around.

80
00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:38.320
>> Yeah, makes sense. Um, and I guess it's already July. Geez. In August, I'll touch base with or even before then, I guess I could touch base with the select board because we want to do this at a select board meeting,

81
00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:58.720
right? The ceremony for to give them the awards and everyone have to get in touch with all four recipients to make sure that they're available, what dates they're available. Yeah. Or we could just uh I think the select board has like a thing before

82
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:13.840
their meetings where they do like special stuff. So we had to go twice. I'm sure we could eventually put our name in. >> Go twice. >> Yeah. So like if if not everyone can make it >> Oh, I see. we could just, you know, I

83
00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:29.600
don't know, honor John Ledger and then the next opportunity to like have a special thing, we could order like I think they do something every meeting like the start of every meeting and um I think it's something different. So

84
00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:45.760
there probably some sort of rotational cycle that we could, you know, we just tell the town administrator we got to go again have them. >> That's a good idea because everybody might not be available same day. That's a good idea. >> I mean, it may make us go to two

85
00:25:45.760 --> 00:26:01.919
meetings, >> right? Right. >> Okay. >> I mean, obviously, I'll try to do it online meeting if everyone is. >> Yeah. Or potentially. Are they going to make you present again? Remember we had you had to do the

86
00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:17.200
presentation like board of what the commission does? >> I haven't heard anything. >> That was last fall, wasn't it? Hey, take >> you did it. >> Remember what it was? I don't >> you crushed it and and there was an

87
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:33.679
Olympic athlete who lives in >> Oh, right. That's right. >> um special award. >> So, you guys you want to do all four at once >> if possible >> or do you want to just spread it out? Do like one a quarter and then just keep them going. >> Right. That's another idea

88
00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:48.559
>> since we have four in the docket, you know, like just >> I was going to say we could do it annually, but at this point now we're looking like four years out, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Well, what do you guys think? Do you want to spread it out or do you want to keep it as one or two meetings?

89
00:26:48.559 --> 00:27:04.880
>> Maybe just one of those all four at once. >> Yeah, I'm inclined to just get them done with >> I don't need to be not give everyone their dues, but >> Well, I pay for you guys. >> That's fine. Yeah. >> Again, it's based on schedule. Yeah. Just >> Yeah.

90
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:23.600
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Um I guess while we're on the topic, any other outreach or educational activities? Ken, you always have good ideas. >> We're in summer mode. >> Yeah. Right.

91
00:27:23.600 --> 00:27:39.440
>> I think we should support the Girl Scouts. That seems like an educational outreach activity. Yeah, good idea. So, we'll think about that. Let's think about that. >> They should tell their mothers to get us in the pipeline because I'm pretty sure

92
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:55.279
that uh the town has a I don't know what do they call them, a super scout or a Eagle Scout every year and we could potentially get ourselves in line for projects. >> That's the scouts. So, Scouts America different scouts.

93
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:10.880
>> Okay. just do representation. >> I'm sure there's other community service-based organizations that we could get on their list. And there's people probably looking for projects, right, that are like, I'd love to be

94
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:27.679
able to do a town improvement project and man, do we have projects for them to do? >> So, how do we look into such things? First of all, we'd have to identify projects or >> Well, yes, but I think we we should um with these Girl Scouts, we should make a

95
00:28:27.679 --> 00:28:44.159
connection to their parents who I I think one of them was the troop leader or whatever they So, right because there's under under um they're like high school, right? They're like they're moving up in levels. >> They're going to be eighth grade next

96
00:28:44.159 --> 00:29:04.240
year. Eagle Scout project, >> right? An Eagle Scout project. that particular the ones that came in they're going to be an eighth grade question. >> No, it's a good idea. So, think about how we do this and you can do this. Um,

97
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:21.600
so for other projects that are sort of been on hold, we we shouldn't forget about them. Um, oh, by the way, the picnic was pretty good. Not a lot of people showed up, but some people showed up. Uh, it wasn't quite as hot as it was

98
00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:38.559
for days before, so that was good. Um, nobody threw tomatoes at me about my speech, so I guess it wasn't too bad. The music was fantastic. That band was unbelievable. Molly Flannry Quartet. Really good.

99
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:55.679
>> A lot of Fourth of July things were the heat and the rain and the thunder. Yeah, I think you're right. Just >> city counted 175 people. >> That's right. That's one That's fantastic. I guess it didn't look that big because it's so spread out and people were clusters.

100
00:29:55.679 --> 00:30:12.360
>> Oh, that's great. 175. That's wonderful. And I we again should really thank Andrew Bowers for organizing it. He did a great job. So, um then

101
00:30:13.679 --> 00:30:31.520
The orchard is the other thing I would like you and I to talk because you said you'd work with me on that on the preservation restrictions. >> Let's talk about it, you and I first and then we'll contact the select board to set up a meeting with them >> to have that go make sure that happens.

102
00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:55.360
Um yeah, you know, in the future, I guess the select board asked us if we'd be interested in being involved in the um Conan building rehab or whatever is going to happen. So

103
00:30:55.360 --> 00:31:11.520
I said, "Yeah, we'd love to. That's in the middle of town. was a gray building where the the bookstore is and little sub shop that building. So >> what are they doing there? >> We don't Well, I think isn't uh is is um what's his name? Lupi involved in that or no?

104
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:27.919
>> I don't know. They're not getting rid of the booster, are they? >> I hope not. We I don't think it's anything imminent, but I don't really know. I just know that we were asked to be involved so I could find out what's what he is. I saw uh on the minutes uh something about the tuttle

105
00:31:27.919 --> 00:31:44.320
house and you guys approved it. So I plan to move the tuttle house where exactly to the left or the right to the when you're looking at the gas station to like where those white houses are behind or the white stores are I guess >> behind the gas station. They're taking those down.

106
00:31:44.320 --> 00:32:00.080
>> Okay. >> They're going to get rid of those and it'll be opposite the common. >> That'd be great. >> So it' be prominent even more prominent than it is now. >> Yeah. So that was great. Yes. >> Get a new sign, too. >> Yes. Yeah, >> we could get a granite marker with a

107
00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:18.240
sign of like a bronze plaque and a granite marker. >> Yes, we could. Um, >> from Swenson. Um, yeah. So, that was good. >> Awesome. And

108
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:35.440
you know, as the minutes said, we asked for them to notify us so we could we could observe the relocation and document it. Um, >> and this is the developer. >> Yes. >> Awesome.

109
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:51.360
>> Um, >> fantastic. >> I Yeah. And we asked them to look into the pear trees to have someone look look at them and see if they're viable or whatever. I think the guy who was here said he doesn't think they're there anymore. But

110
00:32:51.360 --> 00:33:09.760
Jonathan more recently said to me he thinks they're there, the pear trees. So we should make sure someone looks at them and if they can be saved, save them. >> Yeah, agreed. Um, there has I I noticed just somehow in

111
00:33:09.760 --> 00:33:25.919
the maybe the planning board minutes that there was a little bit of discussion about the mill building. I don't know. know I haven't talked to the planning board but I guess that's coming up >> and so that's something we should think about >> and they mentioned I watched the meeting and they mentioned that you know the

112
00:33:25.919 --> 00:33:44.559
park we were going we wanted them to put a park that um told the history of the mill building and they have that on the plan so they haven't forgotten about it >> I didn't know that that's really good news >> where would the car be in that um in

113
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:59.919
that looked like it would behind it like going down the hill but right right by the building they're going to make a little walking park. So when you say the building, that's this new totally new building. >> Yeah. >> So they're planning to raise the whole

114
00:33:59.919 --> 00:34:16.200
demolish the current >> Yeah. It's going to be for out, >> right? Hopefully. >> Right. So I don't know if there's any any comments from this commission about it, but something to think about.

115
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:33.760
I I still think there were some things inside that were really cool, like staircase. I don't know whether they'd be willing to look at stuff like that. >> So, I think the concern you're going to have is when we had the first conversation, the the time the building

116
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:51.119
inspector wasn't super keen. And if the plan is affordable housing, you you tend to have a a market problem with with a rehab. It's easier to build. >> Yes. Yes, >> if you bring in

117
00:34:51.119 --> 00:35:07.440
architectural elements, you're going to have code problems. I I'm not saying that you can't bring in historical features or materials, but I'm not sure like staircases or, you know, I mean, yeah,

118
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:24.160
probably more materials that can be repurposed kind of kind of like our project uh Robinson Road, right, Rick? you have uh the presence of historical materials. Um

119
00:35:24.160 --> 00:35:40.160
that's just that's just my thought. >> No, I think you're absolutely right. >> Are there are there things that we could potentially ask for them to donate to the historical society? Is there anything that you can think of that >> like obviously they're not going to get to a staircase, but

120
00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:56.720
>> trying to think of some things that I don't know if there's anything small in there or not. I'd like to get one more walk through with >> if there's like little thing like doorork knobs or >> things like that >> big stuff left or bins or anything. But

121
00:35:56.720 --> 00:36:14.960
>> the other thought too is um uh like when you go to the mill buildings in like Manchester, New Hampshire, they often have like almost photo galleries on the first floor of these just giant photographs. >> That's a good idea, isn't it?

122
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:34.400
and make them make them do that. So at least the history is not lost. The structure not there. >> We have a number of photos of we're building too. >> Great. Yeah. Okay.

123
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:49.359
>> So when they came, did they give you any update on what they're going to do there? It look like cuz when we met with them they were like projects and buildings and then I you know they've done 550. >> Yeah. >> I haven't seen much going into

124
00:36:49.359 --> 00:37:06.400
>> No, that they gave us that information. Did they >> this stuff online? Because they've got they've got plans. >> Yeah. >> Interesting. I just wonder, you know, at some point, it was quite a while ago now, they had photos that was like, this

125
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:22.079
is what it might look like, and they were really pretty nicel looking. I wonder how close they are to having it look like that. >> You know, >> won't know till they're built. >> What? >> We won't know till they're built whether they live up to it or not.

126
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:37.200
>> Well, I did notice they're doing some redevelopment up on the upper deck of the point. I don't know what's going in up there, but they're like reconfiguring. >> You mean the that one side? Um >> TJ Maxx, the TJ Maxx from Afton is

127
00:37:37.200 --> 00:37:52.480
moving in. And then I've heard >> that also Barnes & Noble. I hear that, too. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, TJ Maxx and Barnes & Noble are going. >> Okay. >> Wow. Interesting. Do

128
00:37:52.480 --> 00:38:09.200
>> you know what's going in TJ Maxx that wasn't acting? Was that the one that used to be a Kmart or >> No, no, that the Kmart the Kmart became Then Job, >> right? >> And the Stockage Shop became an Aldi. >> Yes. >> Or will become

129
00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:25.680
um Okay. I I heard and I've only heard this once and I don't know how true, but I heard of Walmart. >> Um but that was like one and I it doesn't seem to have a lot of >> super. Um, so no, I don't know that I've heard

130
00:38:25.680 --> 00:38:43.680
officially what's going into the into that PJ Maxx. >> Do posted. >> Yeah, >> please. >> Oh, I didn't get to mail. Oops. All right. Any other topics that people

131
00:38:43.680 --> 00:39:03.920
want to discuss? Okay, then public input. No, I have turn over July 4th and 410 Greg Road. Great. Do I have a motion to adjourn? >> Next meeting.

132
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:20.800
>> Next meeting. >> Every time. >> Every time. >> Well done. >> Every time. >> Well done. >> Well, I'm here. >> August 12th. >> August 12th. >> Yeah, that's the second uh second

133
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:55.359
Wednesday. I'm not sure yet if I can be here for that, but I will. Let me >> I think we should keep going because uh you know I'm having to miss June's meeting because I had to travel and I got stuck. Um we should do another

134
00:39:55.359 --> 00:40:12.000
meeting just so that I I just showed up tonight. Um, I actually showed up because Linda sent me all the emails. But, um, but theoretically you might have like just randomly showed up, right? Cuz the second Wednesday, but like if you had moved it like

135
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:28.640
>> Oh, right. I see what you're saying. >> Lost, right? I think I can make the 12th, but if people >> I'm not sure if I can be here before. So, it be that was >> See, I know. I don't know. answer to

136
00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:43.680
that is >> more than half. >> Um, we found out the answer to that and I can't remember what it is. If you have someone that's not if you have a seat that's not filled, I think it's that I can't

137
00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:58.640
>> I can't remember. >> Um, >> so I'll have to check with the town clerk. She will know the answer. Um >> I am afraid the fifth if that works for

138
00:40:58.640 --> 00:41:15.119
anybody that's better people don't check those I don't want to be responsible for messing it up for everybody. >> Well no it might be better if we check the fifth because if we don't have a quorum if they say that we have to have four five people or whatever it gives us

139
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:32.200
four. >> So I got complications on the fifth and the 19th. >> Okay. I can do. >> But again, if two people can make it and it's just me, then like go for it. I don't know.

140
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:48.400
>> You can do the fifth. >> Is there any scheduling issues with the room? >> Well, we can get another room if we have to. >> Um, can you do the 19th? >> Oh, you you you can't come. >> I can't do the 5th or the 19th. I can

141
00:41:48.400 --> 00:42:03.839
only do the 12th. >> Okay. So, if you move it so that Chris um can attend too, then that would make >> Yeah, Liz and Chris is more than Andrew. So, >> I'm not sure if I can do the 19. The end of the month gets funky. I know I could

142
00:42:03.839 --> 00:42:20.400
do the fifth. >> So, should we do the fifth? I hate to say that, Andrew. >> No, it's fine. >> I don't want to do >> Don't worry about it. No, I'll call in and um check my email before the meeting. >> Oh, okay. >> What? All good. Okay. I can't call in,

143

>> Oh, then we're back to where one. >> Okay. Let's think about this. >> Okay. So, what about the 11th? kind of a curveball. No, we got to know.

00:42:52.079 --> 00:43:07.440
>> You're up a week. You're >> out that week. >> You're right. The whole week of that. Okay. >> Um, >> what about the fourth? >> And I can do Thursdays in the summer if that summer.

Fourth. >> I can do the fourth if I move something around. I just I can do the fourth. >> I can do the fourth. How about the fourth? >> I can do the fourth. >> Nice. Okay.

147
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:41.079
>> So, should I even ask? Is the 18th better than the fourth for everybody or not? >> No, >> I can't do the 18th. >> All right, let's do Is the fourth good for everybody? It sounds like it's like we're all good. >> Okay, August 4th. That's a Tuesday, >> right?

148
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:58.560
>> Different week, different day. >> Yeah. Lots of reminders. >> Yeah, lots of reminders. Remind me to remind you. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Did you want to look at September, too? Is that what you were saying? >> Yes. I I would love to look at September as well. >> I have it this the 9th or the 9th. I

>> Okay. And you said yes for you. >> Yep. >> Okay. Good. It's good that we do more than one. >> Yeah. I think we used to do that. We got out of the habit of doing that. >> Okay. Do I have a motion to adjourn? >> So moved. >> Second.

151
00:44:30.160 --> 00:44:35.079
>> Second. >> All in favor? All right.
