Vermont Emergency Management schedules closing for a town buyout; board to coordinate walkthrough
Summary
Vermont Emergency Management has set a closing for the Hunter property (33 Western Road) as part of a buyout; the town will become the owner and must ensure debris is removed before closing and arrange a pre-closing walkthrough and representation at the August closing.
The board discussed the planned VEM/FEMA buyout of the Hunter property at 33 Western Road and the tasks the town must complete before closing, including coordinating a walkthrough to confirm removal of debris, vehicles and other items. VEM will demolish structures at no cost to the town and the town will take ownership of the property with development restrictions.
Neighbors raised concerns about an existing recorded right-of-way on a nearby property and asked that the town address the deeded access in coordination with the Hunters and town counsel. Board staff said they had forwarded deed materials to the town attorney and Vermont Emergency Management and would seek legal guidance; the board also asked for someone to attend the August 19 closing in Burlington or to confirm a virtual closing option.
