Select Board declines right of first refusal for 4.23-acre parcel off Gould Road
Summary
At a public hearing, the Select Board voted unanimously not to exercise the town’s right of first refusal on a Chapter 61B removal request for approximately 4.23 acres (assessor map 10, block B, lot 2.5) submitted by counsel for St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church.
The Town of Charlton Select Board held a public hearing on June 16 over a request by counsel on behalf of St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church to remove about 4.23 acres (assessor map 10 B lot 2.5) from Chapter 61B, which restricts certain land uses to promote open space or recreational uses.
Planning, conservation, assessors and the water and sewer commission reviewed the application and reported no objection to the town declining to exercise a right of first refusal. The town’s public notice named counsel (Frank/Francis Nero, Esquire) as the petitioner.
No members of the public spoke at the hearing. After closing the public hearing, the board moved and voted unanimously to not exercise the town’s first-refusal right for the parcel.
The board’s vote means the property owner may proceed with the sale or change of use that prompted the Chapter 61B removal; the board did not announce any conditions or further town action at the meeting.
