After roll-call, committee members unanimously approved the agenda and then unanimously approved both sets of minutes. The committee then re-nominated and re-elected John Brescher as chair; the roll-call vote was unanimous among members present.

Tracy McDonald, staff to the committee, announced that the town will welcome a new real estate specialist, Bob Dostrowski, beginning Feb. 18. McDonald said Dostrowski is an attorney who practiced in Hartford, Conn., and has been living on the island; she said the specialist will assist with project-based work.

McDonald also told members there are about eight real estate articles on the warrant for the Select Board’s agenda; she described most as straightforward and said there were no yard-sale articles at this time. Committee members discussed whether the committee should meet in March; staff said they expect matters to be brought in March and asked members to be available if needed.

The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn passed on a roll-call vote.

The recommendation, made after presentation and discussion at the committee’s Zoom meeting, follows a plan that divides the current 3 Mass property into two lots. Arthur Reed, an attorney representing the current owner, described the plan as creating Lot 1, a 160,001-square-foot building lot that will conform to Lot 2 zoning, and Lot 2, a 48,627-square-foot undersized parcel that will be merged with the approximately 40,000-square-foot lot at 7 Mass. Reed said the result would leave the same number of buildable lots as exist today.

The committee’s review focused on deed restrictions tied to “yard sale” parcels that require Select Board consent for transfers. Tracy McDonald, staff to the committee, noted that such approvals do not commonly come before the committee and reminded members that the Planning Board had already endorsed the plan. Members discussed access and addressing: Lot 1 will be accessed from Pochek and the assessor will assign an address after conveyance, McDonald said.

Committee members asked for clarification of the parcels shown on the detailed plan and for a simple perimeter or sketch plan to make the final merged boundaries clearer for the town’s records. Lee Saperstein suggested a perimeter depiction to help town staff; Arthur Reed said he could ask the surveyor for a nonrecordable sketch plan if the owners agreed, and several members urged a lot-merger covenant be recorded so title searches would show the merger.

After discussion, Tom Baratta moved to approve the committee recommendation that the Select Board consent to the conveyance and merger described in the materials; Nat Lowell seconded. The committee then took a roll-call vote, with all members present voting aye.

The committee did not place limits or conditions on its recommendation beyond the standard recording and title considerations raised during discussion. Members explicitly noted the purpose of the review was to ensure the yard-sale deed provisions are honored and to confirm that no new buildable lots would be created by the conveyance and merger.

The matter will next appear before the Select Board for final consent as required by the deed provisions referenced during the committee meeting.

","The Town Real Estate Assessment Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Select Board consent to conveyance and a lot merger that will leave the same number of buildable lots while moving a parcel from 3 Mass Court Avenue to the adjoining property at 7 Mass.","actionData","errors"]
