Colleen Leeb, executive assistant to the Select Board, notified the committee by email: “Due to a scheduling conflict, the Select Board after Tuesday, 09/02/2025 meeting voted to change the special town meeting date to Wednesday, 11/12/2025 at 7PM at the Apponauquit High School auditorium. The warrant is open, and any articles or placeholders are due to the town administrator by Friday, 09/12/2025 at noontime,” the email read.

Committee members reviewed items that may appear on the warrant. The Planning Board has not submitted the Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) bylaw for town meeting action; committee members were told the Planning Board voted to table the proposal at its last meeting. Committee members also said a stormwater warrant article was tabled and that there may be a warrant article addressing dilapidated or blighted properties.

Committee members flagged one petition they expect to draw debate: a citizen’s petition that would remove health‑insurance eligibility for members of boards and committees, the committee was told. The committee noted that other articles on the warrant appear to be housekeeping in nature.

Warrant deadlines and locations: articles and placeholders must be delivered to the town administrator by noon on Friday, Sept. 12, 2025; the town’s official warrant and final agenda will be set by the Select Board prior to the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Master Plan Implementation Committee, 9-22-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Select Board has scheduled a special town meeting for Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Apponauquit High School auditorium.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6467012,"Lakeville historical commission, open‑space committee report progress on master‑plan tasks",1324,114670,1438865,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb&start=114&end=1438","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb/thumbnail_114670.jpg","/articles/6467012/Massachusetts/Lakeville-historical-commission-openspace-committee-report-progress-on-masterplan-tasks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467012-ab0c510531774e728f7512fb9f6a0a8b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770705312&Signature=Iu3c~pFS0o13EeA78mWBzXDXMy6tjOXJNh35gx93WXDw5I1WMlIdRyLriU9Jw7wpBi0CCl3XMZ4ehxmRHKs5VBuGrTi3s1R30fbWlToGS9rn5JnKQPt2yZoePCzs3qARgOV3RpAKqn-hwEBVneXiWsnyP6TV8dKSEH9tHih1aurPNk-V4U9HzR1m8Jb-zXUxnCDxDwMqkAFEXa2DnloQlH4-gXsIYyF--oAeFXNehy9p8FdythsrvZxn-VcoRiRk4cfP8axa5EouMlQR5ynGBBpVlrZPxS7BsSyOaWtFHbiQjd6hMBNg-KkjRQfTitWgkbkQoYzOqVR7Ia9lWhp~Hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Joan Gladu Morton, chair of the Historical Commission, and David Zolonis, representing the Open Space Committee, updated the Master Plan Implementation Committee on Sept. 22 on steps taken to implement elements of the town’s master plan.

The historical commission is working with a consultant to complete an inventory of historic houses and cemeteries and has funding in place for the work, Morton said. “Historic commission is currently working with the consultant on the plan,” Morton said. She added, “We have funding for that.” The commission plans to pursue a first historic district extending from the Old Town Hall to Pond Cemetery once the inventory is complete; a second possible district would center on the former tack factory on Taunton Street.

Morton said a proposed merger between the town’s Historical Commission and the Historical Society will not be pursued now because society members raised concerns about preserving and caring for the society’s museum collection; the merger has been tabled indefinitely. She also reported that an accessibility ramp has been installed at the museum and a ramp is being added at the historic library.

Zolonis provided the Open Space Committee’s progress on the Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) and related priorities. “The 2025 open space plan has been with DCR for a couple of months now,” Zolonis said; the committee is waiting for Department of Conservation and Recreation review and any requested edits before formal adoption. Once the DCR review is complete, the town will be able to apply for grants tied to an adopted open‑space plan.

The Open Space Committee has launched direct outreach to landowners it identified as eligible for conservation programs, mailing information to property owners with large parcels. Zolonis said the committee targeted roughly 110 owners of parcels of about 10 acres and larger and another group of roughly 100 landowners who might be eligible for Chapter 61 programs. The committee also distributed flyers and will have a presence at upcoming local events; Zolonis noted the Massachusetts Town Forest Conference on Oct. 4 at Middleborough High School as an outreach opportunity.

Committee members discussed staffing and implementation questions. The master plan lists hiring a town planner and a land‑use specialist; Morton and Zolonis said the town is advertising for part‑time planning help and that a part‑time conservation commission agent has been hired. Zolonis said some other implementation items currently lack specific funding.

Morton said the historical commission has approved funding for an archaeological sensitivity survey map that will follow completion of the inventory; she said some sites lie on private land and access will be handled accordingly.

Committee members and the two guest presenters identified next steps: finish the historic inventory, finalize the OSRP after DCR review, continue landowner outreach, and consider easier web access to open‑space information. Zolonis said the OSRP review with DCR could be completed in about a month but that timing depends on the state review process.

The update combined Historic Commission and Open Space Committee items from the master‑plan implementation chart and closed with committee discussion about priorities for the next quarter.","The Town of Lakeville’s Historical Commission and Open Space Committee told the Master Plan Implementation Committee they are advancing inventories, outreach and plan updates; the open‑space plan is under state review and the historical commission has funding for an inventory and an archaeological sensitivity map.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6466998,"Lakeville awards fire‑station construction contract; site work to begin this fall",34,2411609,2446315,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb&start=2411&end=2446","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb/thumbnail_2411609.jpg","/articles/6466998/Massachusetts/Lakeville-awards-firestation-construction-contract-site-work-to-begin-this-fall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6466998-6996c01c4d7bda66018b8d354fdf12cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770705312&Signature=G-gALpkYPCqQX44YE0SnVk0XVwkeHiIhphHjJ~Tkj6~YDGWrLwK7qNPv0Z43txTa4yshN1EL5kWBdVDygGDa92b6qCf989~44u~TCzUnK12P3iA1VITqrZOQResfd2~jYrcyeQSOaQsKeeEv7Etx1VUg2ouCNmQUh9bPMeFOIt8kyr0ZMLTRMc6aPGqeY8933LXT37guXxniKLJowPyh0PcF5nBUkkhZ0mGJoWFb7vIuAWWG7-l1SOfUmkgC7DdEdQeX4EGqgSC8gua~gTUJ1n6vog-4tLlFXaKVsrJ~Aqx-4LbncHfQM-BrLWgyBP4W27Q9isqlvbkSbPVURatFrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Master Plan Implementation Committee heard on Sept. 22 that the town has awarded the fire‑station construction contract to Page Construction of Stoughton and that site work will begin in the coming weeks.

“We awarded to Page Construction, and site work will start in about 4 to 6 weeks,” a town official said during the meeting. The meeting record shows bids came in about $6.5 million under budget; committee members said site work will include required turtle sweeps and early‑season tree clearing.

Committee members were told the town had advertised bids earlier and awarded the general contract to Page Construction; officials said site work is expected this fall and will include environmental checks required prior to tree removal and ground disturbance.

No change orders or final contract amounts were announced at the meeting; officials said additional details would be available from the town’s project manager and the department overseeing construction.","Town officials said they awarded the fire‑station prime contract to Page Construction of Stoughton; bids came in approximately $6.5 million under budget and site work is expected to begin in about four to six weeks after required pre‑work checks.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6467003,"Community Preservation Committee opens applications for spring 2026 funding",79,1747545,1827070,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb&start=1747&end=1827","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811909-1572eaebe9590577ea2f47d55dc49beb/thumbnail_1747545.jpg","/articles/6467003/Massachusetts/Community-Preservation-Committee-opens-applications-for-spring-2026-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467003-9d2161deae953075ec3e3953c1b0ce37/orig.mp4?Expires=1770705312&Signature=mYw9AVOX5XwO-GwPPv4ptdJEcHIIjIMrhwe-AgqEJyjHSdDM8ak8AVq6nc0qRPEmxar3bmnvGRa1rL7QRTY3y7Q1tnHbT7fdoMehhqmY8qrHGOMBfxUL1LBcy6Ox7Xl2TQgVWagxt~iAO8RiaNso9invn9BlCmO-ps7xt7Ox5sCEUhxepVlsxDlJNWxrA6znrMyltuMc1IOJqHrMCAo9rmYOuvBzc5NlFLFmT~-GOrUp2lcXzU~10Wijon9M4ViY-ZlwFYKWdT-f-RH5VLOkrhNjRUmyaKzkbf5SU5na7vq5UQaMIv9nCq8lW8mkEVLr5FSKTAjPWsL92jILwDBrnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Michelle McEachern, chair of the Community Preservation Committee, emailed the Master Plan Implementation Committee on Sept. 4 with instructions for submitting project applications for CPC funding.
