Select Board approves conveyance of 2-acre Pleasant Lake parcel to Harwich Affordable Housing Trust
Summary
The Select Board voted unanimously to convey a two-acre parcel (Assessor's Parcel 82‑R‑5, Pleasant Lake Ave) to the Harwich Affordable Housing Trust for affordable housing purposes under a prior town‑meeting taking and recorded order of taking.
The Select Board voted unanimously to convey a two-acre parcel identified as Assessor's Parcel 82‑R‑5 off Pleasant Lake Avenue to the Harwich Affordable Housing Trust for affordable housing. The motion referenced the October 18, 2021 special town meeting vote and an order of taking recorded at the Barnstable Registry of Deeds (book 37419, page 22).
A member of the public (Patrick Odden) asked whether a conservation restriction might be placed on town-owned property. The chair and board said the original town‑meeting action intended the transfer to the affordable housing trust for development of affordable housing and that they were less inclined to add a conservation restriction in this case. The conveyance motion was moved, seconded and carried unanimously.
The board noted the parcel transfer confirms prior town meeting direction and that further details about any future development or restrictions will be addressed by the Affordable Housing Trust.
