27
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:52.160
>> like um Robin or somebody. >> That could be >> they could have gone around the neighborhood. >> Oh, okay. Because I was thinking I was trying to get them to to post this thing and send something out. I couldn't get it to happen because it cost about $1,800 and then now they and then they

28
00:08:52.160 --> 00:09:08.399

31
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:56.880

I I don't know what we're going to do, but I don't if it's like any of the other meetings. We we had

32
00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:13.680
three public meetings. We had a total of like six people. Well, I don't think I don't think there's going to be an on rush to show up for this thing, >> but I wish we catch the box anyway. So, >> they will as soon as it starts to go

33
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:31.519
into effect. >> How did that happen? >> Okay. Okay. So, that's the end of Lawn's report. >> Yeah, it's that's the only thing that's really new. That and we have a new map and Jan has a copy of it. >> Okay. >> I didn't have a copy of it.

35
00:10:48.720 --> 00:11:21.440
Rebecca's not here. that it's just sort of a constant motion. >> Yeah, nothing's chang nothing's really changed yet as far as I know. >> Okay. And correspondence jam. What's on there? Anything?

36
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:40.399
Mary Beth is new to the area and wanted to know when she could go to the schoolhouse and I told her when it was open and she said see you in May. So that's done. >> Who is it? Mary Beth Smith. >> Mary Beth Smith on the

37
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:55.279
>> for our viewers. When do we start in May? The beginning of May. >> Memorial Day. >> Memorial Day to Columbus Day. Schoolhouse starts on Memorial Day for the weekend. >> They usually start the the outhouse early. The kids were out there

38
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:29.959
practicing tonight. >> Your age is show the jiffy the jiffy Jew a little or whatever. >> Uh building inspector that'll go under unfinished business. entire let's see. So we had

39
00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:24.160
So you've got assistant administrator Joyce Stanton, schoolhouse repairs. We had correspondence from that. Oh, yeah. She sent I think I sent it to everybody. She sent a thing saying it was supposed to be going through the um

40
00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:40.320
their office to go to the building inspector instead of us going direct. >> Well, Bill, >> not the bill. >> Bill said Bill said >> Bill said that we should go through Tracy to get something to James. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Well, that was that was a comment by Bill.

41
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:55.680
>> Right. Right. >> Tracy says I'm supposed to go directly to James >> with building reviews. >> Okay. >> So, that's I don't want to read that off and say which somebody said to do that because unless we've gotten an email instructing us what to do, then that is

42
00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:11.120
not the case and that is incorrect >> because we have several people all telling us the same thing. >> All right. Well, those several people aren't bosses. We don't follow idle comments from side standards. >> Okay.

43
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:28.000
>> So, lawn on town meeting info. What is that? >> So, before we we close that out, um should I resend the email that I sent with the pictures and everything? Should I resend that to James? What I sent to Tracy? >> No. >> Okay. >> She's got it. She's got it now.

44
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:42.560
>> Right. >> Um but yeah, town meeting line on town meeting info. What was that? Is that this packet? >> No, I don't think so. >> Yeah, town town meeting info. The only thing we have at town meeting is the

45
00:14:42.560 --> 00:15:01.040
special funding. >> I'm just wondering I I don't know. I don't remember sending an email. I don't know what it was. >> You might have just sent it to me. >> Okay. >> But if it comes into the historical commission, then it's on the list. >> But does it um What was it about

46
00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:16.800
>> the approval? Yeah. Oh, that that okay nobody else has. >> There we go. I've got it here. Okay. I I didn't understand what that that's what that was. Okay, good. Yes, >> because it says um

47
00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:33.360
>> Well, it turned out that I thought it was done after the after the select board approved it, but uh but it it apparently had to go back to the finance committee for final approval. >> Yeah, >> it sounded like we were in. >> So, but it did make it it did make it past the board. Well, that should be

48
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:48.880
under old business. That's not correspondence. >> It's an email. See? >> All right. Well, if it's from the if it's internal board meeting, >> if it's internal, it should be under unfinished business. >> Correspondent should be from the outside.

49
00:15:48.880 --> 00:16:06.000
>> Well, I put anything that gets emailed to the historical commission on the on the email front because it >> Yeah. >> emails. >> Well, clear the finance committee too. So just >> actually last >> at my meeting too >> they left but but it had they had

50
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:23.920
another chance. >> You want me to want me to put the permit link on there either then? >> I didn't know that. I thought it was start. >> No, >> they were okay with it at that meeting. >> That would be under new business. Um June meeting will be at the library.

51
00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:40.800
>> Yes. >> Where's the May meeting going to be? Not at the library. >> Okay. >> Hopefully it'll be here. >> 250th celebration USIA.

52
00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:56.560
Anything? Anybody gotten anything correspondents? I don't see there's nothing on the internet. >> No, I didn't. >> Constitution. >> I looked around and >> the the tall ships are coming but not here. >> They're um Where are the tall ships coming?

53
00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:12.079
Southshore or >> they're not coming to Boston. They're not coming here. >> There's also there um I went to a customs house event and they were talking about they're going to have some kind of uh collection of of tall ships

54
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:30.000
coming into Newport uh sometime in June. >> I don't have the the date in front of me, but it'll be on the if you go to the the Customhouse Maritime Museum website, it should be on there in their calendar of events. And they I guess they're going to fire off a salute with the cannons and all this stuff. So, uh you

55
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:44.400
know, James and Bethany were pretty excited about it. So, >> yeah. Well, that fits right in with their program. >> Oh, yeah. And what about I there was something about some encampment. Encampment is that Newbury pool? >> I I heard that they wanted to do that,

56
00:17:44.400 --> 00:18:01.120
but I think they ended up um just doing it at the church on Sunday. They had a bunch of um reenactments go into the church. They never did the whole thing on the green. >> And did anybody find out what that

57
00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:19.280
plaque was all about on the green? What was >> Because it's old business. >> I haven't seen that. >> Well, last month we talked about that. >> It was you. I thought you was >> I hadn't seen it yet. >> But yeah. What did I

58
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:36.480
>> who um is audited it done or is that the lower greens study committee that was talking about that? >> We then where' it come from >> review it before it went past the select board and they they approved it. >> But how do they do that without our like

59
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:52.640
>> input? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. So is there a plaque there now? >> Not that I know of. I mean the first I heard of it was here and I haven't seen I'd have voted green when there's a monument right outside the door here. >> Exactly. Why would they honor the same

60
00:18:52.640 --> 00:19:11.280
that's already there? >> Okay. I guess we're going to have to find out about that. Jan, >> it's probably in last month's meetings. We talked about it. >> It was It was >> I know, but not >> Oh, sure.

61
00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:28.960
>> Last month we talked about that. whether we recorded it. >> How do we get on to that subject? >> 250th to celebrate it. Now, the the state has a a booklet out. >> I wonder if I should just get one so we

62
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:51.280
can see what they're doing. >> Yeah. >> At least, you know, >> I think it's like mass250.gov or something. Yeah. Yeah. >> And I was thinking I should get it anyway for my granddaughter. Be a fun thing to do over the most of the >> So,

63
00:19:51.280 --> 00:20:09.679
>> Bureau of Tourism or something? Tourist Bureau of Massachusetts. >> Yeah. >> And they're free, I think. >> There's nothing on the minutes. >> I thought it was last month we talked about it. >> Me, too. I wonder if we did that after

64
00:20:09.679 --> 00:20:28.640
the camera. Okay. So, nothing else on 250th. We're not doing anything other than if somebody else around us has an event, we can open the schoolhouse to back them up if they're going to have high traffic or something like that.

65
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:44.400
>> Did we decide not to do the uh the Liberty Poll? Is that off the table or >> is it too late? gathering ideas and I can't think of any >> if if we if we if we get our 3500 back I I'll have a little proposal

66
00:20:44.400 --> 00:21:00.640
>> that I I would because a lot of people had suggested this number one our teacher mannequin is 5'9 >> tall >> which is not too tall in the 1800 and I found out seen >> us try to find those shoes >> I found out that for a reasonable amount

67
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:17.520
of money you can you can buy mannequins is that that for for dressing up in 1800's clothing, which means and you can buy simulated 1800s clothing and it looks like it. It's not something that, you know, a wraparound dress that's sewed in two

68
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:33.919
places and and held together scotch tape, right? >> Um and a couple of people said, "Yeah, you should have a couple more students in there." >> Yeah. >> So, >> we discussed this. >> Yeah, I know. I know. But but that's that's something we could we could do because when when I looked up the

69
00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:49.039
prices, it wasn't like, you know, the mannequin's $1,000 and the clothing's $3,000 or anything like that. It was it was all the prices were reasonable. >> That's what you want to do? >> I don't know. I just I I would I put together a package to bring here and

70
00:21:49.039 --> 00:22:04.720

>> I'll just do that. Make a little It'll be a little thing. We can't do it until after July 1st. Well, start >> but we can approve it and be all ready. We're 3/4 of the way through the 250th. So, >> yeah, people see them in there, >> but all that stuff is, you know,

>> Yeah. building permit that says demolish building existing at 25 road. >> Does it say demolish >> right here? >> Uhhuh. It's okay. Okay. That's what we that's what we're waiting to see what they're going to do. Now we know.

87
00:26:46.960 --> 00:27:33.360
>> Now we know. This is the print out link I believe. That's what I think. That's what I got. says C appendix two demolish C appendix two. There's

88
00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:54.640
appendix two. So there's one backside there and there's nothing. That's just all the form verbiage. for the demolition structures. Building permit applicant shall attest to the utilities and other service connections.

89
00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:10.760
Fill the application below. Submit this appendix for the building permit application. Property location >> because this is the entire permit link. It's not just us. That's what

90
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:52.799
it doesn't say who's going to do the work. No, it doesn't. You should tell us what they're going to do with vacant lot. Oh, it says uh the owner being the town authorizes

91
00:28:52.799 --> 00:29:19.760
Peter Bennett >> to apply for and act on the property on the owner's behalf. checklist for construction documents. >> I guess this is for all. >> You asked me to print out what was on permanent link and I did.

92
00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:34.880
>> Okay. >> I could not be what's the word I want? Picky about what lines were on there or whatever. I just print said print and it printed. Um, >> so

93
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:52.480
>> this actually is all in a when you pull it up on the his on the computer, it's like pages, you know, you have to click one thing and then it opens up something and then you have to click that and it opens up something else. So, it's very >> it doesn't look all neat and neat and tidy like this piece of paper does. But

94
00:29:52.480 --> 00:30:08.880
Channing had asked me if I could print it out to print it out. So, >> that's interesting. >> Yeah, but uh computer project. >> So, in order to work on a building in this town, you

95
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:26.080
have to have approved plans, you think, but it looks like this is just a demolition and nothing else. >> Yeah. >> Right. Well, that's what I It would be nice to know what they have planned. >> Well, do they plan on selling the property? >> Well, that's this is what >> that's that's the question I'd have. or

96
00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:42.320
or >> because if they said they were gonna sell that building and the property, I'd vote no. >> They can't. >> No. Well, they I think they could, but >> they can't just sell the property. It's in the National Historic Registry District. It automatically kicks in the

97
00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:58.320
demolition bylaw. >> Okay. In 9 months, they could they could they could sell the property, >> but by in 9 months the entire town will know what's going on. >> Oh, of course. >> So, it's not as easy as dusting it underneath. There's no permit fees.

98
00:30:58.320 --> 00:31:27.120
>> No permit fee. No workman's comp. >> Yeah. And and what they checked is number six. We are a corporation officer exercise the right of exemption. No workman's comp insurance required. >> That's what he's looking for. Oh yeah.

99
00:31:27.120 --> 00:31:45.760
As I said, I'm I just I just printed and when we when you see it, it's a different. >> Oh, so I I see I see what it is. What they claim >> that just the form is attached. Yeah. >> Well,

100
00:31:45.760 --> 00:32:01.600
>> but the applicant has to supply a I think the applicant has to supply a reason for the demolition. But there's no square foot at all. >> It says extensive mold and mildew inside building. I think that's what they're

101
00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:26.320
using for the reason for the demolition. >> Dem Oh, I see in the blue. Okay. Demolition of existing buildings on the use of new town hall before that extensive mold and mild inside the building. In fact, one of the things when I was

102
00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:43.440
looking it up too said that uh however parts of the interior, including the auditorium galleries were declared unsafe in the 1950s and have since been at various levels of remodeling of the structure. Well, the building has been building there has

103
00:32:43.440 --> 00:33:03.200
been had a lot of work done on it so we could even use it past the 1950s. It was already falling apart. And it's on the original stone foundation, which is no good anymore. >> But it's not the original building. >> Well, it's not. No, that's right.

104
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:18.480
>> Right. So, >> but that's why I say the only thing I'm concerned about is the site. It is the original. >> There's some question about whether or not it was um the the Graange Hall was damaged by fire. >> Did they did it burn to the ground and

105
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:34.640
they start from scratch or did they restore the building after the fire. >> They sold >> that makes a difference >> and b brought brought another an existing building and put it there >> that they bought. >> So it was an empty lot.

106
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:49.760
>> It was an empty lot and they brought a fieldstone building over there. >> No, it's the original foundation. >> I thought it was the original first floor, but >> they could have thought well there was several writings. One writing lasted forever that said it was a two-story

107
00:33:49.760 --> 00:34:06.000
building and the top burned off. Right. Yeah. And they made it a one-story building. >> And that was my understanding. >> And we have the photos to >> the stuff that we had. Yeah. >> So >> So it's not it's not >> This is what it looked like, right? >> That Yeah. >> It looks nothing like that. >> Nothing.

108
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:21.280
>> So it's And it's Yeah. And there's nothing left maybe but that foundation >> of the >> well the thing is what what was built there in 1927 or somewhere in that era was was by the Graange Hall people >> right

109
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:37.119
>> they sold it to us in 1937 and we started using it as the town hall again >> and the graange hall the agricultural aspect of that considering we're founded on agriculture

110
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:54.240
Now we're in company is was is really important. >> So so by default it's a significant structure. >> Exactly. >> Right. But preferably preserved on 1.8 of page uh

111
00:34:54.240 --> 00:35:10.480
something that might be the beginning. >> Yes. >> It's okay. So here the the criteria out of the whole list of criteria the ones that we would should probably consider are the five I've got listed here. The historical association the building is

112
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:26.880
uh importantly linked to historic persons events or broad architecture cultural blah blah blah architecture importance. The structure embodies distant characteristic of spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe spe specific agricultural type. Next in uh integrity of features commission evaluates how

113
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:42.000
much the original historic fabric remains. Context and setting public interest. those when we write our decision, those are the those are the ones that we're going to that I think apply that we would have to consider. >> Mhm.

114
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:58.960
>> There's more, but I don't don't think the other ones follow. I think these are the five that we need to consider. Somebody should check me on that, obviously. >> And then and then and then then we go ahead and put make our make our decision based on that. If we if we do the preferably preserved, then we've got to

115
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:14.240
do more work because then because then we apply the demolition delay bylaw and then there's all kinds of other criteria that happen. >> If we decided it's not preferably preserved, it stops here. >> We're done, >> right? >> Yeah.

116
00:36:14.240 --> 00:36:30.320
>> But I just thought this I this is I put this together for a couple meetings ago. >> Good. >> And I didn't bring it, but everybody should, you know, take a look at it. So this is the email from the building inspector. I spoke to Peter uh building

117
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:45.760
inspe building commissioner about what needs from the historical commission uh after your after your next meeting what he need type of type Thursday. He

118
00:36:45.760 --> 00:37:03.520
just needs a next meeting needs a letter stating that the demolition request from the selectman triggers or does not trigger the demolition delay bylaw and needs a letter stating this.

119
00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:21.960
So because of its we've got multiple reasons. So it is a significant structure. The um application for the uh demolition permit does activate the demolition delight delay by

120
00:37:22.160 --> 00:38:04.160
and >> and that is >> what is how many days do we have before we have a hearing? The application is on 321. You can put the time timeline in line. >> We have We have 15 days. Yeah.

121
00:38:04.160 --> 00:38:24.400
>> 15 days. Yeah. Thank you. >> 15 days >> after the receipt of the application which is 331. >> So >> what does it say? 15 days to do that >> 14th of the month >> to make a written determination of whether this structure is significant.

122
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:42.560
>> Okay. It is. So we so we can write that today. >> It's significant but is it preferably preserved? >> We have to next step is the right hearing. Oh, that's a good point. You get first. Okay. You get the flow flowchart. Next step. That's what I was just looking

123
00:38:42.560 --> 00:39:03.200
for. Should put that in here. >> Next step is the hearing. >> Yeah. Okay. We need to advertise that notify the building inspector. Writing official

124
00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:27.079
days. And the the wording for the hearing is then we have for public concerns and comments um and to answer question. >> Yeah. To gather input from Russia. >> Gather input from Russia.

125
00:39:36.400 --> 00:40:12.880
Uh, does anybody have a calendar? >> What is What's the date for next Thursday? >> Next Thursday is the 16th. Uh, so what do we So it has to be done by the 14th. So we meet on next

127
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:57.520
>> So, can't do Monday. We need 48. Can't do Monday because I have worked with historic district here. Maybe we could do it. It's got to be by the 14th, you said. >> Yeah.

128
00:40:57.520 --> 00:41:19.760
>> You got to put it on two days before. >> It'll be two days before. So, today's Thursday. We can't can't post it. Tomorrow's Friday. >> Why can't What can we not post tomorrow? >> The meeting.

What's What's kicking it off? The date on this thing because town hall's not open, right? What's the date on this? Permit says 3:31. So that leaves us with uh 15 days. That leaves us by the 14th.

130
00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:57.839
So that's next Tuesday. >> That's interesting. >> So it has to be two days be you can't count the weekend, right? It's probably business days. >> Friday. >> You can't get it posted because it's still business days >> cuz it closed at Friday.

generate circulation in the town twice. The first notice to be published 14 days prior to the first hearing, which is too late to do already. And the second notice no more than seven days prior to the first hearing. Well, that's sort of a typo. How can you

137
00:43:52.800 --> 00:44:11.680
do that? >> We can't in the current circumstance, but >> well, if the Well, I'm saying it's procedurally a little incorrect. If you you got 15 days to have the hearing >> from the point of application,

30th day. >> Yeah. >> The 11th of what? >> Of May. >> I didn't. >> So what what >> So what is what is May 13? Uh April 13th plus 30 days.

160

161
00:50:32.720 --> 00:50:49.040
certainly within 30 business days, right? Why weekend? >> The 13th is 30 days of May. >> 13th of May. So we have to have the first meeting. >> We have to have the meeting >> the meeting >> 14 days prior

162
00:50:49.040 --> 00:51:04.240
>> the wait a minute. We have to have the meeting >> the third by the 13th of May. >> So we can have it the 11th and 12th. They'll make it. >> So the 1st of May we have to have a notice in paper. >> Actually before that.

163
00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:24.720
>> Why before that? 14 days before. >> So, you're gonna write run you're gonna have the meeting on the 30th day or you want to have it the third like just do it on the Thursday before. >> Uh it's it depends on >> 14th is a Wednesday >> if we're going to have enough time for the notices.

>> All right. So, >> 14th is too late. >> We've got to have it by So, that's our normal meeting night. >> That's 31 days. So what if we did this if the >> the seventh >> just

165
00:51:40.160 --> 00:51:58.800
>> of May >> just we're just going to do this as a flow. Let's see if this works. So the seventh that means the second notice would be the first and um one two three four five six seven

166
00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:21.280
means the first notice would go out on the 23rd of April. So that would give and today is the 9th. So that would give you two weeks to get it drawn together >> and find a site because you'll have to tell them where it's going to be. So we'll have to have the site arranged to

167
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:37.280
have the notice. >> Okay, we're on time and date. Now we're on April. >> We were in May a minute ago. >> Now we're on April now for the first notice. >> So the 23rd of April, the first notice. >> Yep.

168
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:52.880
>> Notice in the paper. >> Yep. >> Etc. Right. And now the next thing we have to be thinking of is are we going to run up against the days that the Daily News doesn't publish, which is Tuesday and Saturday. >> So she'll have to go. >> So you got to be looking at days of the week as well.

169
00:52:52.880 --> 00:53:09.280
>> Good point. Well, she's got two weeks to figure that out. >> Um >> so April 23rd would be the first public notice in the paper, right? April 23rd >> to be decided. >> So then April 30th would be the second public notice. >> Yep.
