All right, I want to call this meeting to order. If I could have a motion to open. Motion. Second. All those in favor? I. And we'll have a roll call of our voting members. Do we start with uh you John?
John Ferrar, Cindy Courier, Damon Jesperson. You want to introduce yourself? Jane Cunningham just as Thank you. So, uh, what I'd like to do
is review the matrix scoring. We have 10 different, uh, locations or combinations that we are to have reviewed. Um I would like to go into depth with
the top three or if there are very important things you want to talk about on any of them. So uh if you guys could identify your top three locations that would
be very useful. You want to start? Yeah. I'm just circling mine right now cuz So, just to be clear, Mhm. When you say top three, two of my top
three are a location that I actually don't think is appropriate. So when I was scoring, Mhm. when you look at is there space for a building, is there this, is there that, yes, it all fits,
but for example, one is um basically taking over the library and making them move to a new location. I don't think that's appropriate, but everything here fits. Um, do you know what I'm saying? Like I do know what you're saying. And I
I struggled with especially like new building on the upper green, right? Um because it did score high the first time I did it and then I thought about it and I thought, well, really, well, you could say that the cost was low for that. It
isn't because not because the library would have to build a new building. The li we'd have to build a whole new library and renovating that space to be COA compliant. And that's part of why we do the discussion. And we can go through each one and talk about it. But I
thought uh right that would be helpful then because I scored those as a seven because I looked at it as town owned property that we didn't have to purchase. But it makes sense what you're saying that that the library has to go
somewhere. The library has to be rebuilt and the other site. So, okay. You know, we don't Why don't we just Why don't we start with what I think is probably our preferred
location and talk through uh the Kentway Land and Library, which is the first one on the list on the list. So, uh I gave the my num the first column uh
building size a seven which gets weighted to a 14 because while there is some wetland on the Kent way site I believe there's more than sufficient room for the
building and so I gave it a seven which becomes a 14. How did you score? I did the same. I didn't know anything about the wetlands, but we had been given this map. So the way I was looking at these
sites was the yellow in the map would be so this particular one would be a 12,000t building and that was the lot of land. So to me, I said, "Yeah, yes, the building fits." Not knowing anything
about the wetlands are really not terribly close to where the building would probably go. Yes. I mean, we don't we haven't done the site work. So, I have done the site work for Eric's vine on about four occasions. Yeah. And
wetlands, I don't think impacted construction site whatsoever. it would be maybe impacted marginally for the the wonderful trail that leads down through the property and and allows for outdoor activity for seniors. And so I I am
ignorant to all that. I did. Yeah. There's more depth, you know, as things get narrowed in on. Yep. Then you go into more depth because you know doing a wetland survey of the site
before we've actually done any before the select board has even said they are willing to start the process of raising funds and voting for this doesn't make a lot of sense. Mhm. Um the next thing is parking.
Again the size is a lot to me indicates that there is plenty of parking. Yeah. I give it a seven. Um, outdoor space. The to my mind the the site has the potential for great outdoor space.
Yes, I give that a seven as well. Street access to my mind. Well, L Street is a little off the beaten path. It is easy street access if we access from that side. Again, site development may indicate a different access at some point, but from what we know, it should
work perfectly well. Yep. And it is it is familiar and that it is next to the library and the library entrance. One street is a safe place for seniors to drive in and out of
access to utilities. We know that there is water on site and we know that there is power on site. So, they've got a seven. Yeah, me too. I have a seven as well. Uh visibility and ease of
climbing. You know, it's a little off the beaten path on six. It's still pretty I mean I I think everybody knows where the library is but when I think like coming with vendors coming from other it would just be a
little bit more difficult for them to find but I still give it a six. It's not I can see a six being an option. I given it a seven because of the library, but yep. Uh, septic and sewer. I gave it a seven
because again, the size of the lot indicates that we'll be able to find a perk on the property that will function. Um, any anyone have doubts about perkability? Nope. I gave it a seven.
not not knowing just based on the the fact that the library is there and they have they run programs. Okay. Um eight proximity to other town functions. I gave mine a seven and then it was
weighted at 1.5. So my total is 10.5 just because it's right there with another town functional library. Yep. John, I give it a seven. Next to facilitate, I mean, obviously the the hall across the street
as well as the post office. It's in the library. I wrote in my notes that while we'd be losing some of the proximity to town hall, we would be gaining other proximities. And so I also gave it a seven.
Um, cost of sight, I gave it a seven because I I was understanding this is town owned property. Yeah, it is seven as well. I gave it a six because I I believe that we would have to do some moving of things. We they just put
in the playgrounds. The little league field may have to be adjusted somehow. So, there may be some shifting to to fit things onto the site to keep it safe. And so I knocked it down a little bit because it won't be just the expense of the building. It would be the expense
of possibly relocating the playground, possibly reorienting that baseball field. Um, but I think it again it's town on the property, so those are within the scope of budget that this
project would have. Um, I don't think we need to go down to a five. on the cost because I don't think those things will be that expensive but they are an expense.
Um, so that was, you know, and I wrote in into the comment section all of my comments and I'd like to collect those from you guys for writing out of the report in case there's stuff that I've
missed. I don't have comments on it. Okay. I gave a total between 72.5 and 73.5. My total was 72.5. And the reason mine is two numbers 73.5 dealt
with six versus seven on parking and that you'd have to build you'd have to build a little bit more parking space behind the catches location behind the home plate location at the ball field. Y
so it's a an six and my comments are great here. Thank you. Um I think Kathy had a similar score but she'll pass in her. I can scan an email to you.
Okay. Or I you know can come back. Okay. Uh the next one on the list is Hover Street. So you can just sort of walk down the line. I got one low score. I ended up with a score of 18. It's off
my list. I said 22.5. I ended up a little higher, but uh do we want to discuss it or do we just want me to consolidate in the comments since it is clearly not a winning? My comments, my major comment was is it
a is it a buildable wall because the extensive wetlands Yeah. Is there anything else about that particular? It's it's also no proximity to other elements of
government. The faculty is can't be included in that cadre because they're too busy taking care of kids. Yeah. They're not in opposition to each other. But there's no there's no synergy.
Okay. So, we'll But I also and I when it was talking about access to street, I don't know if I wrote that on there, but I I How would you get there? Yeah. So, I'll put that in that line.
Do you want you want to collect page? Yes. Yeah. Cuz I need to consolidate into a summary. And so having what you guys wrote, I can always meet with Kathy later. So that was handover suit 25 high
road. I don't have all five sheets in order. This was a mid number for me. Yeah. Wasn't the highest. Certainly wasn't the lowest. My main concerns about it for the street access. That's a very busy road in terms of being able to get in
and out. Sewer and septic. I know there's a history of issues. Um while it is close to two other town departments, police and fire are not departments that people typically visit. What do you think? Town hall of the
library. People go there and they I don't think I've ever been I've lived in my town for 22 years. I don't think I've stepped for the police department once. And the only reason I went to the fire department was with my true when my daughter was small. But it's not I don't
see them as departments that people are actively actively engaging with versus the library or town hall. So that's why those got a lower score. So, what I did for this one was I gave it a range and it um the
reason I gave it a range is because we do not have a plan for what's happening with that fire station. It does need to be rebuilt at some point and we do not know what town hall's plan is moving forward. And
so if the select choose to move forward with a new town hall on that location and we combine a facility then it meets a lot of the needs. Okay. If we if they don't go over there by ourselves I agree
then it becomes a very good day. Thank you. So my other concern with it though is parking. So if let's just say like a 10,000t building or whatever it is on this particular map it shows a 12,000t
building. Yeah. That's going to erase a lot of space for parking. So parking had a very low score for me. Um yes. So I did parking the second
as a five. Oh wow. Um because I think should that site be chosen, it would be the fire station would get torn down, the old town hall would get torn down and the whole site would get
reconfigured. And so it's I wasn't using just that lot. I expanded it to the whole Okay. lot with only one access or egress um
which changes the parking layout and how would work. So as it like looking at 25 by road. Yes. So maybe that's why my score is so low is because I feel like there wouldn't be enough enough space.
Yeah. I I scored it low. You know, it's not as big a sight as we would like, but I think it with some uh clever engineering, I think you could get the parking, but again, it would require a lot. So, mine has a lot of
caveats. It also scores, you know, when you do the downside of it, it goes way down for like, oh, we're not taking down the fire station. We're not taking down the Right. If you look at it as is. So, like I there's no outdoor space. Yeah,
there I mean there's there would be enough space for the building. I gave it a seven, which would give it a 14 when it's weighted. Um the busy road brought my score down to a five. Obviously, there's access to utilities. I put street access in a four because it's
such an unsafe Okay. Um where were you? What did you What did you put on High Road for street access? I put down dangerous intersection Halo Morgan Graham Avenue 18 and all it
Ross it's literally a thoroughare with tourists coming and going for mile it's busy yeah I come out of the butchery sometimes have to count 20 cars turn left so what did you score it as I scored it as a four okay yeah I put down
for outdoor space it was a two because again you'd have to reconfigure things to get across to the green. And that's not much of an outdoor space anyway. No. So, I gave it a one because there's really nothing.
Yeah. Um, but I gave access to utilities a seven. Visibility, ease of finding a seven. Yep. Um, sewer septic, I gave it a five because I know there's been a history of issues there. So, I don't know. It's on new report sewer now. So, so that would
be a seven, which would Yes. I think that should go up to a seven. Okay. Because provided the new reporting system doesn't fail, it it should be fine. It's sewer, not seven, right? Yeah.
Okay. Because of the facts taking over. Okay. Yeah. Um and you proximity of four. So I did a range of 3 to 7 because we don't know what is going on. there. So it would be obviously to me if if it was time hall was there it would get a
seven. Yeah. But the way it stands now I gave it a four and waited out to my total is six. That's what I gave it a six. And then the cost of the side gave a seven because it's already which brings it which took it from it's a midterm the
total score is 475. So that's and I had a 53 to 63 depending on what the town is. Okay. So can I get your 25 high road please? My biggest concern is the dangerous activity. It's just it's a
thorough affair. There's two major intersections, handover Parker and Ralph's lanes all by itself. And the very fact that the farm brings a lot of people Yeah. from Newport down to uh and a lot of that
traffic coming south is going for vegetables. So, and meat. When you look at a a spot like that on town property, but High Road is stateowned. Yeah. Can you do a light if you were to put a facility there? I think we would
petition. So the state would have to decide it. So it should be five years to get the light and the lanes in Elm Street after being a witness to two two fatalities. A light or blinking light. It's a It's a two lanes and a blinking yellow and and
a and a blinking yellow at Boston Road because there was a fatality at Boston Road and all of this was on Chief Mary's watch and the very but it took me five years along Columbbo Representative Columbo at
the state to see Mr. Hello TripleA to show up. Yeah, right about that. had to call trip once some truck and left a bunch of debris in 95 in the middle of the night and never saw
her. It literally took the two right tires out. I was lucky enough to be about a quarter mile below the Raleigh truck stop. So I told him to truck stop.
I call land on one first. Okay. The next one moving down. This is 12. So I have two scores on this. So I have to on this one as well. Mine
is if town hall stays here or without town hall. I did the same. Um but also just to be clear on the first thing I put on the building size. I mean on this lot yes a building would fit but it's a rented it's not our
space. Yes. That's so yes, it got a seven, which ultimately gives it a 14, but can you build off that? See, I only gave it a four because I don't think we can pay for the space that we would need to expand the programming the way the
program is drawn. So to expand the rented location. Okay. So the way I looked at it was do we building on this spot? That's why I gave you the high score because yes,
but it's not our Yes. The cost you probably should put as a one because it's a one. Yeah. We can't buy it, right? So, I also have the cost fairly low cuz we don't own the property. We get to pay for it. You know, they can always if we made a major investment,
they can always change our rent, right? And so I didn't give them I didn't give this site much credit for size because we are constricted by the building that exists and I didn't give it much credit
for cost because we don't own it and everything we do is an investment for someone else. Right? But even if we took over more like let's say town hall leaves and we take over more space to me the building sizes could potentially that's why I
gave but again it doesn't and parking there's plenty of parking here. See I didn't give the parking a great uh score here because you have to walk across the sort of drive. You don't park next to the building. That's true. Uh so
I only gave it a four. Maybe that's too low and I gave it a five and it's common. It's it's a thorough effect. Yes, that's you have to it's much less so now than it used to be. When the fertility clinic here it was there was like 18 wheeler trucks coming in and
out. It was way more dangerous than it is now. But there are still people coming going to those storage units all day. So yeah. So maybe it should be a five out of four. Well, I gave it a five. Okay. So that would be five. And you gave it a seven for I
did simply because I was looking at parking, but there's a lot of parking. It's not like even though we have spots on the side of the building that say reserved for council on aging, that's a heck of a Yes. Well, that's why I didn't think it I wrote a letter to Mr.
Sullivan asking I took photographs of Governor Governor's Jesus Christ of Governor's Academy. the way they handle the crosswalks. They they don't allow cars to park or points. So for approximately 200 ft from every every
single crosswalk, there's a white cleanout lane on the road which doesn't allow people to park which obviously obiscates somebody crossing uh or travel on. And he needs to paint a white walk trail on the on the on the on the grass
road to the front door. So the people that say need these side spots here. Uh this this place right here needs a walk lane. Doesn't have to be what? Well, they just painted that crosswalk. But the crosswalk, unfortunately,
doesn't doesn't protect. No, it doesn't. But they just painted that last year cuz I asked them to when they were when they repaid I say, "Can you put a a crosswalk looking just because it was um it's so busy there and at the very least it was helping people in the handicap spots, but it's not helping
anybody else." No. And I'm up in the grass because people literally their wheels are 2 ft from that cuz their cars coming the other direction. It's a two-way street. So yeah, I give it a What did you give for building size?
size. I gave it a four. Okay. So, which total I'm at an eight. Yeah. And then again, I think the range is appropriate because if town hall leaves, right, then this is the middle of
nowhere. It is in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. I mean, it's already kind of in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. But I'd give it a four for visibility and ease of finding because Unless you have GPS. Who the hell this is? So, I gave it a seven.
Number one, because we've already been here and established Mhm. So, people know where we are. That's that's what I feel about the library, right? People know where that is even though it's off the beaten path. And this coming from a few vendors coming is very easy. It's
easy for me to give them, you know, exit 81. Take a left. A little bit more. Access to utilities. I gave a seven. Sewer septic. I gave it a seven. Clearly that's
proximity to other town options. So this is where I pick the range. Yeah. So currently I gave it a seven. But if they're not here, I give it a one because we'd be all alone with just the storage. Yes. Yeah. I gave it seven and a one with an
asterisk and because there's literally zero visibility um in proximity to other town I gave it seven but the after is which you already said if they leave if
they leave then the school is 39. my top two list. The total I gave it was 51.5, but again, I scored the building size higher than you guys did. Well, I I my my range is 495 to 39.0.
Yeah, I'm closer to what you thought. Um, but with Town Hall here, it gives it a higher score. But again, I was looking at the building size differently than you guys were. I gave it a four. See, I'd given it a seven only
because I was just looking at the space. Kind of can can we fit here? Like if we needed more rental space or to build a building here, but if you build a building on rented, I don't think you can do that. So, no, you have to buy it doesn't Yeah, it doesn't have to buy.
That's why my you have to buy the building from Sullivan and these and it's not for sale number one, but that's why I put the cost of one. So, it's not an ideal location. When it was a hotel, that was the time to have turned this
into something special. We sold this property for a nickel. This was town property. Yeah. And now we rent it. It was a uh Got the name of the chain is a large motel
property. Good luck. That's why I can't range. Let me find it. Okay. So, I gave it uh two for building size because it would max out the lot to fit the building on there. We'd have to move
a historic structure and uh it's it's already a tight lot. So, I gave it a four because I thought just the building will just fit there. Yeah. Like, and that's
a it can be busy in that section that road. Are you parking a one cuz there's already sufficient parking and you increase the building size and it will be less.
Outdoor space. I gave a one. Uh, street access. It's right on the street. It's easy to find. Access to utilities. Seven. Visibility. Seven. Uh, sewer I know nothing about,
but maxing out the lot I assumed would impinge the sewer. Yeah, that's what I thought. So, I gave that a 3.5. I give it one one to five. Yes. You know, I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure we couldn't fit a sewer system.
And then proximity I give a one two. And then cost I give it a five because we would have to demolish the old grain or relocate it which adds to the cost. I gave it a seven just because it was $10.
That was my qualification with that. Y John, did you have anything significant? No in the low 40s. 41 total. Yeah. Mine was 34 to 38.
So your sheet. All right. Old COA space at NES. They are different. Uh size one. Yeah, John. I gave it two
just because assuming you have to be an additional building. Fair enough. Uh parking one. Same. Yeah. Space one. Same. I gave it to
three cuz you could develop some way. But uh well, you know, you're asking me to have them walk all the way over there. I don't know. Maybe we build us a parking lot in the back. Uh but yeah, I mean walking's good for people.
Yeah, if there's appropriate Yes. Street access. It's a seven. I agree. Access to utilities. Yeah.
Um easy to find next to the school. See, I gave it a one because we talked about the old space which is was not that easy to find. So that's what I wrote a one. No one could find us. We'd have to go out of ways to people, you know, get the
list. Okay. They never find us. Um sewer and septic I give it a seven. Uh and for proximity, I give it a one. I understand it's a school but which is a time function but not something that's
inclusive to us. I I said the same thing that the school was not set up to foster interaction. Like I really think it's important for the elderly and our youth to interact, but the school is not
the location where that can happen. When the kids are in school, they're in school to be in school. not come over and hang out with the seniors, you know, play with the seniors. Like it just doesn't it did not foster that sort of interaction. We would typically
cost of sight. Yeah. So ultimately I gave a 34.5. Yeah 36.5 the only reason we pulled those out because we're all of the items on it wouldn't fit on my
but yeah trying to get off just a call saying we'll tell you things later hasn't shown up No. So, uh, I just called in during the break because I wanted to get back into the previous meeting cuz I felt bad
leaving. Uh, and so I called during the break and they're headed there now. Why so long? So, the two patrol cars are stuck there. all over. Well, she's lucky to have that. That's for sure. They usually have
a police officer. Yeah, there's usually one there. I think it was the resource officer. Resource officer. Yeah. I wonder if we're ready to have a new resource officer yet. So now 19 Central Street, the Apple
building. So I gave that a four times two because it's not town owned property. It looks like if like if you were to take that building down, you
could it's not even as big. What they put on here was 7587 square ft. And it just says first floor. Now, hello. I can hear you. Yes. Mhm.
25 minutes. Great. So, I am not one of my partners with the car. Um, and what? No, but it's my car. So, Okay. If I need to be there, call me
back and I'll beat you there. Yeah. I'm off by field. It's down at So, um, okay. I'm in a meeting, so why don't you just call me if I need to be there and then I will try and wrap things up and get there. Thank you very much.
15 minutes. He said 25 for him to get there. So, you got so Okay, we want quick. Um, we're on 19 central, right? Yes, 19 central. The parking looks just sufficient to me.
Outdoor space zero. I put parking one outdoor space one. I wanted to put zero. So the reason why I gave parking a good number was in this key in the upper leftand corner. It says 45 spaces. Yeah. When I did the Google maps and looked at
it, I counted the spaces that exist already and they have over 40. So that's why I gave it does it belong to that industry or does it belong to the So in how I looked at it, it was all on that law. Okay. Um
street access I gave a four because it's the definition between spaces is very poor and that parking lot people Pearson's parking lot is not regulated properly. So people pull out
all over the place which I've not seen it cause accidents, but I don't spend a lot of time doing it. So, I gave it a lower score there, but it gave a parking a seven cuz I feel like it is Yeah. And if you turn left out of it, then you face up to a trash bucket in the
middle of the road. I still I've talked to Patty Fisher about that a couple of times. I cannot believe that they allow that giant piece of steel to be right on the road. Yeah. Literally. Sometimes it's over the white line. Um,
access to utilities. I gave it a seven cuz I'm assuming I assume seven as well. Invisibility of finding a course of seven. Same. Yeah. And then the septic sewer. I did a range. I just don't know. The building has been there a long time. Yeah. I went to my assumption that
because the building's been there and they're functioning that it's functioning now, but would it function for what we need? And so I I gave it a lower I gave it a four. Yeah. Or I gave it a range. Well, the reason I gave it a four is
because the increase in people uh would mean a large capacity requirement. Yes, that's kind of what I was assuming and that's why I didn't, you know, even though it's got functioning, I didn't want to get a full school. Correct.
um so I also outdoor space I give one yes there's nothing there but more importantly um I put an asteris here just what a ludicrous place to put the
historic town village you know council on aging uh you're in the middle of a commercial parking lot I don't care what you do to landscaping that building. You've got commercial street and then you've got private residences
uh going up Route 95 what nine times in and all the traffic that that implies. And then you walk out in the backyard and if you've got a beautiful sitting area, you're standing at piles of dirt and filth and rocks and timber. It's it's an ugly spot. Across the
street is the corner in North America. Well, I also gave the cost of site one because we don't even own that property. So, yeah, I put down one in and the idea of it's just it's beyond the pay
consider because of it proximity to 95 and all the filters of that watch. That is the Apple building 84 Central Street. So I actually gave building size a seven.
So this is to add either add on to or whatever the field house. Yeah, I gave building size seven as well. That gives us 14. Yeah. Parking gave you seven. And outdoor space clear seven obviously. I mean I
did say with parking a seven but it would need to be paved in if you ever gone up there. It's pitch black and it should be pitch black because people go out to look at the stars. So if we were in there I would want put there would be an expense added to
that but I think the note that I put in outdoor space I did say seven as well. See, I said six because some development needs to happen to make that outdoor space accessible to some seniors. Yeah, you're right. Some trails. There are
trails, but they're not disabled or walkers don't. Yes, utilities are put on because it's unknown. Well, the fieldhouse does have
electricity and air conditioning and so there's a transformer in that pool system that would allow 90. So that yeah, but the septic is in four, but the utilities I feel like are sufficient. There's the wells are
sufficient to water the fields. So we have sufficient water to drink and I feel like the power is sufficient. But the septic uh is it was challenging to put the first septic system in and I think to do a
septic system with this type of use would add another layer of complications. I put a seven for like a seven as well sewer. That's why I said I don't know. I put a one. I think
that's reasonable. I put a four cuz I think probably with the size of the lot. They could do it, but it's it was challenging the first time like I said and there are wetland restrictions and buffers and things to be
uh proximity to other time functions. That's a one. We would be all by ourselves. Yeah, I I put a one because while there are teams and other things like that, it's not the interactions that bring but that also is not
happening during our hours. Yeah. Um and cost of sight because we Can I have your uh central street? Yep. And then we had uh adding a second floor
to the library. Make sure I get the right one here. So, um, so I made assumptions with this one, too. I'm assuming you could do that. I
don't know if that if that's physically possible. I don't know that structure. I don't know anything that I assume. However, the first floor, so then that's
displacing the library to the second floor. Yeah. So, I I said I gave it a three because I said it's not ideal to put either the COA or the library on the second floor. Uh, it's possible. Mhm.
But it's not for either one. Okay. Um but it mostly for me the negative came in the cost of doing you know the parking again I said that I I let you guys go
first what did you say for parking John had parking man six I did as well my thought was there's some parking there but I feel like there's space to put more parking but
Again, that would be moving. Yeah, I gave it a four because I said it was already tight. Um, and running both programs simultaneously would would be challenging. So, I it has to grow. It would have to grow. I mean, the other
thing that I'm looking for is to potentially have a covered area for that. My consideration was that you work on different days of the week. There's very little use of the library Monday throughout Tuesday through
Friday because the kids are in school and programs kids a big part of that parking issue. Then the weekends is when they it's and you're not there that's in Monday they close. So the element is I
gave it a six only because you really synchronized nicely quite frankly even out of synchroniz It's not um the outdoor space we discussed could potentially but they can show up. Yeah, they can
show up. Um, street access to utilities. Yep. Uh, it left invisibility the same as for the previous because it's a little bit off.
So receptive I gave a seven just to me but yeah I give it a five because the expanded use may require development. I don't know what you did John. I gave it a five for that reason. Eric actually made that comment
and there one of the meetings that would be an impact for that one. So proximity to other towns I gave it a seven which ultimately is a 10.5. Yep. Cost of seven. So I did cost of sight as
a one because I think renovating the building to add a second story will be astronomically expensive. I'm sure it would. Uh whether you know no matter what goes on you know if it was the COA you know either way we needed an
elevator. Sure. major renovations to the structure. It's designed with these full thing ceilings like So, I understand what you're saying. The only reason I gave it a seven was cuz Yeah, I understand that. I just So, you do what
you Yeah. need to to change that. All right. Can I add your sheet though? Mine was a two. Yeah. because of elevated requirements. And then the second city would be this
location would be the last one just because I don't think the town's going to let you destroy destroy a cup of green. Well, and also telling a department they have to leave their home. Yeah. But I
mean, think about it. There's a I'm on sort of a non-committed committee with Have you met Robin Eric? I don't know. The name is familiar, but
he's heading up that committee to go before the select board to declare a historic district prohibiting. I mean it's the concept and and I I've sat on committee with him and made a recommendation it
should incorporate the upper grade as well. That's George Washington bivwacked his troops on the way to Canada and the element of building the library on think about the the district and all of its
historic element of the modern library in the middle. So my thought is the person who made the suggestion perhaps doesn't know all that history. I don't think the person was trying to step on and give new history. I think they were just trying to see space that was open
and but my major difference between this one and the last one was giving the proximity to other town functions alone because the last one technically we would be with the library. This one we would be alone.
Yes. Uh I actually knocked this one down. building size, which is probably inappropriate cuz I like the the space isn't appropriate to the use. No. Um, so they would take some renovation.
Yeah. Outdoor space, I parking, street access, all those other things. And the proximity, yeah, went down to zero. And I think cost of sight to renovate that building to be something else, I probably should have
given less. I gave it a seven, but I think it should be yes. So, at the end of the day, when we look at these, and I know you don't have Cathy's yet, but the Pentway land next to the
library is definitely my top when I'm scoring this. Yes, I have this as well. Yeah, it's the only one that I've got that gets into the 70s. Yes. Yeah. The rest are in 40s and 50 lane. I have the
high road with the range dropping up into the 60s. Everything is done together and down in the 50s otherwise. Yeah. And with a giant ash because it's in traffic. I mean, part of what I
really about some of the redesigns when we were talking about the combined police town hall was the ability to fix some of those areas street but that's you know but ultimately that's up
to the state well it would be one of the things that we if a town hall coa fire station was proposed we would talk to the state as part of the process and say we want to change the road cuts here, we want to
change that road cut or we want to install the light. You know, all of those things would be part of the due diligence process of vetting and designing a building, but ultimately it wouldn't be up to the town. It would be up to the state at the end to the state,
but they accomplished it with Ross Lane. That's an enormous improvement. Okay. Was there no light there before? And the paint job which gives people notice and you think about the intersection at the west end of Hanover
Street. What's your sense of what the the new grade of pavement? Is that is that just for wet weather or weather? I have no understanding of what happened there or what. It it it apparently it breaks better. I mean you can when you
hit your brakes well for the next couple of years it does until it erodess and then like you know you hit it with a plow track a couple of times and uh I have no sense of what do you have your scoring matrix before we get too
distracted or did you not fill yours out? Mine's a mess. Okay. Okay. Mine was too. Okay. Um, so yeah, I talked to the folks at Uber Animal Hospital about that cuz I I thought they would know a lot more about
it and they said, "No, you just came to work one day and they started working. They didn't even notify us." Yeah. Just It's It's almost I don't know the correct word. Sur Yeah. It's uh almost almost like the the
rumble strip on the side of the road. Yeah. Or or that they're now using for um for lanes midway. At least then you get a noise as your tires the white line. That's an improvement. Maybe it's
all about breaking. It could be. I don't see why need to be. Um, write down that. Okay. So, what happens now? You take this. So, yes,
I the compiled stuff I will condense the notes. We've put together our recommendation which is the Kentway site. Kentway in combination with the library site um is our first and I will
check all the scores do our second our third compile top. I would our top three recommendations and then I will do a nar I will explain the narrative and the reason behind each one.
Then I will uh as I said that'll go out to the COA. I can send it to you guys for any additional comments in case I miss something that you feel like is
salient and needs to be in there beforehand. Um and hopefully I can do that. We have till the 30th. So hopefully I can do that in the next couple weeks. so that you guys have a chance to read it
and comment and then we can get it out ideally by the 23rd. Although I'd love to get it done before I leave I'm actually taking a vacation. So I'd love to do it before my vacation on vacation on the 12th of June
for 6 days. Your plan is to send it to the COA members before our June 30th meeting so they can review it. Yes. so that they can have read it before that meeting and they do the discussion. So we can have a discussion and move it to the select board so that we can present
it to the the slide. Um I think that so that means you have to get on the agenda. You're not just setting this to you want to get a presentation. But first there's there's a few here and there. Um, so that is the
next step is on me unless one of you really wants to do it yourself. Oh, you do it. Um, I need to get Kathy's in English. Okay. So, we'll talk to her. Um,
and provided that the when I get the report done, you guys get your comments on the report to me and it goes to the COA and they don't look at us like we got three heads. I think the adop committee will
then not meet again unless we get sort of reconstituted as part of a larger town building committee. which is possible. I have no idea what the next So, should we plan to meet on the 30th
after the next COA meeting or do you want to see? I think let's plan we can always just meet say yep, we're going to select people. Okay. Yeah. Uh
so we've done that. We've done that. Uh so I guess we should take a motion just informal about it for the next uh June 30th at 9:30 to move it. So move and uh did you send us notes for I
didn't send I okay I have the minutes for the last two meetings but I didn't put it on here so we can wrap up. Yeah, we should do that in the next meeting. So then I'll have the minutes from this one. Okay. Yeah. Um, you want to do a motion? Yes.
All those in favor? Thank you guys. I think this is really good work.
