February 9, 2010 BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Chairmen Donald McKinnon called the regular meeting of the Raynham Board of Selectmen to order at 7:05pm.
Present were Donald L. McKinnon, Marie Smith and Joseph Pacheco.
Mr. Pacheco motioned and Mr. McKinnon seconded to accept the minutes of the February 2, 2010 meeting as printed. The vote made it unanimous. Marie Smith voted present.
Mr. McKinnon informed all that the Board was returning from an Executive Session regarding Contracts.
Present was Attorney Bill Manganiello and Attorney David Gay to discuss with the Board property on Rogers Lane.
Attorney Manganiello explained to the Board that Rogers Lane is partially an accepted street and partially a private way. Attorney Manganiello is requesting the Board’s approval to subdivide two partials of land into three, improving the private way, gifting to the Town a parcel of land approximately 32 acres and constructing an easement for the Town to access the parcel. Attorney Manganiello informed that both Highway and Fire Department has approved and that the Planning Board is requesting a letter from the Board stating the Town’s interest in the project. Attorney Manganiello stated that there could be restrictions on the use of the gifted land. Due to the street not being accepted by the Town, Mr. Pacheco was very skeptical in endorsing due to the funding involved in the upkeep of
the road. Attorney Manganiello assured the Board that the landowner would fully maintain the private way. Mr. McKinnon asked if Conservation has approved the plans. Attorney Manganiello said that the Conservation Commission has conditionally accepted the project. Mr. McKinnon said that he would be in favor of endorsing the project pending a letter from Conservation Commission regarding its acceptance. Mr. Pacheco requested Town Counsel to review. Board members concurred to endorse in principle to the Planning Board.
