Select Board tables decision on East Street Chapter 61A removal after chair recuses
Summary
The board reviewed the proposed sale of a 2.23-acre East Street lot enrolled in Chapter 61A; Chair Laura Hebb recused for a professional interest and members agreed to seek Planning Board and Conservation Commission input, tabling the matter for two weeks.
The Upton Select Board on Feb. 3 discussed a proposed sale that would remove a 2.23-acre portion of an 18-acre parcel on East Street from Chapter 61A protections. Chair Laura Hebb recused herself from the discussion, citing a professional interest, and Member Brett Simas led the discussion in her absence.
Board members examined the lot’s location and access and agreed further review was necessary. Members requested input from the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission before making a determination on whether to decline the town’s right of first refusal. The Board tabled action on the matter for two weeks pending that additional research and advisory input.
Next steps: staff will coordinate referral materials to the Planning Board and Conservation Commission and return the item to the Select Board after their reviews.
