Summary

The board voted to deny a 2026 land‑use change‑tax request for Building Block Commons LLC, adjusting acreage and market-value figures and citing legal advice; the motion passed with members voting 'Aye.'

Board member S7 moved to deny a 2026 land‑use change‑tax (LUCT) filing for Building Block Commons LLC, based on legal counsel’s guidance and a review of parcel acreage and valuation. The motion recommended updating the current-use acreage records (from 1.0 to approximately 2.372 acres) and reducing the market-value basis used for the change tax from $450,000 to $382,000.

The motion was discussed briefly and carried; the transcript records the board’s affirmative response, with members saying “Aye.” Legal counsel’s review and a prior-year history of the parcel’s use were cited in the board’s rationale.
