Selectboard hears proposal to sell 13.75-acre Route 100 parcel to Diocese for cemetery
Summary
Tracey and Gary Morin told the board they plan to sell a 13.75-acre parcel on Route 100 to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington for use as a Catholic cemetery; the board noted the property would be tax-exempt once owned by the church and that access would require state approval.
Tracey and Gary Morin informed the Eden Selectboard that they are negotiating the sale of a 13.75-acre property on Route 100 to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington for use as a Catholic cemetery. The minutes state that once the parcel is owned by the church it would be exempt from property taxes under existing law; the board discussed access to the parcel likely being from Route 100 and subject to state approval.
Melissa Whitcomb said she needed a signature from the chair of the selectboard so she could be designated as a notary for the federal SAM.gov portal, which is required for federal grant applications. The minutes record that Tracey Morin notarized the SAM document during the meeting while present; the minutes do not specify a sale price or timeline for completion of the transfer.
