The committee reviewed and approved executive session minutes from 3/ 20/14 meeting. 2. Committee reviewed draft presentation to be given to Finance Committee later that evening. Paula Bertram suggested adding information about the impact to the Town budget development of the property could have on the community, partic ularly related to the cost per student residential development would have on the school budget . The committee agreed that the financial impact of residential development would be of interest to the Finance Committee. Because the committee did not have sp ecific numbers relating to state reimbursement of costs, it was decided to highlight the residential development “cost avoidance” attribute of the project while discussing the conceptual development plan, and again at the end of the presentation. The presentation was otherwise approved for delivery to the Finance Committee. 3. Brandon Kibbe updated the committee on the status of the appraisal. Ken Croft of the The Foster Company (Leominster, MA) was selected as the appraiser from 3 successful bids. The 3 bi ds were all within a couple hundred dollars of each other, and since the agreement with the seller involves an appraisal contingency on price, Brandon Kibbe reviewed the 3 bidders (exclusive of bid price) with seller’s realtor, Keith Ross of LandVest. Mr. Ross approved of Mr. Croft and one other bidder as satisfactory appraisers. Since Mr. Croft’s firm was local and more familiar with the local market, and ===PAGE 2=== because his bid was lower than the other firm, the Town selected Mr. Croft. Appraisal due date is April 24th, 2014. 4. Brandon Kibbe updated the committee on the status of the Purchase and Sale contract. Last outstanding item is whether or not the seller will agree to cut and cap the water line; their contractor has been out of town, and they want to disc uss prospective cost prior to agreement. No problem is expected. P&S should be finalized in time to be signed by the Selectmen at their upcoming April 1st, 2014 meeting.

Brandon Kibbe reported that the Purchase and Sale Contract had been signed by the seller. Emerick Bakaysa noted that the agreement was undated, and BK reported that Town Counsel and seller’s attorney also noted that deficiency, along with the missing Exhibit A map, which issues were being rectified. 2. Brandon Kibbe updated the committee on the status of the appraisal. BK met with Ken Croft of the The Foster Company (Leominster, MA) on site on Wednesday, May 2, to inspect the premises. Mr. Croft spent 3 hours on the property, and conducted a very thorough inspection. Mr. Croft indicated that t he appraisal may be ready in advance of the April 24th due date. 3. Brandon Kibbe reported that he spent an additional 2 hours on the property on May 2 collecting photographs and GPS points pertaining to specific historic resources on the property for the L AND Grant’s required submission to the Massachusetts Historic Commission. Several sites were located, including the likely sites of the grist mill and saw mills that were depicted on the 1795 map of town. 4. Brandon Kibbe described a grant opportunity with t he Fields Pond Foundation. Municipalities are eligible, and the foundation particularly likes to fund projects that support public access to open space; typical grants range from $2,000 to $10,000, with a maximum award of $25,000. BK outlined parking lot development, trail marking, forest stewardship planning, and signage as possible components of an application, all of which are also requirements of the LAND Grant. BK has approached Monty Tech ===PAGE 2=== carpentry program about building a trailhead kiosk, and plan s for such a kiosk were circulated. Tom Bertram of the Lunenburg Snowriders described the club’s interest in assisting with manpower and machinery for such activities as well, and said the club wanted assurances that the multi-use trails currently on the property would continue to be available for snowmobile use. BK reported that the LAND Grant does not specifically exclude snowmobile trails, and the Cons Comm policies allow for snowmobile use on designated trails on commission properties. The expectatio n is that the mulit -use trails would remain critical assets to the Lane conservation property. Mr. Bertram agreed to join BK on site on Sunday, April 13th, 9:00 am to inspect the area under consideration for parking area development to consider what may n eed to be done and what it may cost to develop the area for parking. Brandon Kibbe will be before the Conservation Commission at 8:00pm, April 16th to discuss all of these matters. 5. Paula Bertram invited all to join the Hickory Hills Lake Management team a t their “Taste of Southern Comfort” dinner on Saturday, April 12 th, 6:30pm . PB distributed a draft postcard for distribution at the event aimed at informing Hickory Hills residents about the importance of the Lane property conservation effort. The commit tee reviewed and edited the postcard, and PB, BK, and Elizabeth Ainsley Campbell of the Nashua River Watershed Association agreed to put those edits into a final version for distribution at the event. 6. Elizabeth Ainsley Campbell also distributed a flyer mea nt to be distributed publicly to inform residents of the conservation opportunity at the Lane property. The committee similarly edited the flyer as a group, and EAC would incorporate those edits into a final version and would have 150 copies made also in advance of the Hickory Hills event on Saturday evening. The flyer was also modified to become an ad that would be aimed to run in the town -wide distribution of the Lunenburg Ledger. Tom Bertram agreed that the Lunenburg Snowriders would cover the cost of running the ad. Brandon Kibbe also agreed to draft a press release to run with the ad. 7. Elizabeth Ainsley Campbell also distributed a “Frequently Asked Questions” flyer, but the committee decided that the material was too dense to be discussed as a group at that point. All agreed to review and edit in advance of the next meeting. 8. The next meeting of the Open Space Acquisition Advisory Team was set for 5:30pm, Thursday, April 17, 2014. 9. The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the March 27, 2014 meeting.
